In silence the three girls packed their saddle bags, preparing for the journey to the City of Camelot. The love in the room could be felt and the connection between these three. Each knowing it would be years before seeing each other again. The hint of sadness as well as excitement in each of their faces could be seen. Mezary had been called to the Academy by the Master Wizard. It was time for her to learn more about herself and her powers and how to control them. In hopes that she would be a catalyst in the war that raged on for the lands.
Reddry and Sahra had also decided that they were ready to find their place in the battle fields in the war that still raged on in the frontier. They had heard that the Guilds in Camelot were always recruiting for warriors ready to fight against the tribes of Hibs and Mids as the battle for our lands still raged on.
As each girl picked up their saddle bags , it was Reddry who broke the silence first. �Well it�s not forever and it�s what is best for you my sister�, she looked at Mezary quickly, � you truly are gifted and need to do this for yourself and for the better of Camelot.�
Reddry was the one who was always logical and spoke the truth of how it was. Many respected her for her forth right ways , but others shut their ears to her words not really wanting to know the truth. But that never stopped Reddry from speaking her truth and what she saw.
Sahra cleared her throat and you could see her large oval green eyes watering up. �True , true, Reddry, but it doesn�t mean we have to like this situation, just live with it and know that one day we three will be together again.�
Sahra was the optimist and always looking for the silver lining. Although she knew that Reddry words rang true was the one who always found the positive in any situation.
Mezary spoke up with a soft smile as she approach her two sisters, �It�s true Reddry, I may not be with you two physically but my heart will be with you and Sahra always. The years will pass quickly and before you know it we will together again�.
The three held each other in a loving embrace and then headed out to the stables. Gwennith and the other children were there awaiting them.
Gwennith handed them each a small sack, with bread and cheese in them for their journey. She handed them each a goat skin flask with water. �Now go, before I start to cry. I am proud of each of you and know you will take up arms to save our Camelot. Please write when you can and take care of yourselves, I have buried enough loved ones and do not wish to bury any of you.� Gwennith�s eyes filled with tears as she kissed each one on the cheek and waved them off.
The three mounted their horses , looked at Gwennith and the children who had come out to wave them a save journey and rode off into the direction of Camelot.
�To Camelot� Reddry yelled out as she kicked her horse. �To Camelot� Sahra and Mezary echoed out and they followed Reddry�s lead. |
