      Gabrielle Ulan leaned her head, carefully and with as much dignity as possible, out of the side window of the undulating carriage. It was not the proper thing to do, but she did not care much for proper. The column stretched out in front and behind the carriage, knights on horseback leading the way, their squires, the supply wagon and half a dozen foot soldiers from her father’s castle bringing up the rear.

      The morning had started as bright and cheerful as one would expect from an early spring day. However, as they approached the two stretching fingers of the Khaglari forest the air became steadily heavier, to the point that a mist could be seen amongst the trees. The noise of the carriage wheels on the road became more muffled as the hard compacted ground started to soften and give way to the loamy soil of the forest floor.

      The dampness in the air seemed to penetrate everything and Gabrielle’s long copper curls began to droop and stick to her sweat covered shoulders. She regretted bending to her father’s command that she dress formally. The slight wind in her face from the moving carriage was a small relief and she wished, not for the first time, that she could get out of the stuffy carriage and onto a horse.

      Poking her head out further Gabrielle could now see that the highway had entered the forests outskirts. Up close the forest began to fill her with a deep sense foreboding. She cast her eyes impatiently along the column towards the castle. Castle Kalar was now only about two miles away and in clear view. Its towering walls looked impenetrable, more massive even than Castle Ulan. It stood like a mighty grey spear thrust out of the consuming green of the forest. The castle itself was slightly more compact than her father's, but it had been built with constant danger in mind. She could clearly see, even from this distance, that it bore the scars of many sieges during more violent times.

      Lady Gabrielle, are you trying to get me into trouble with your father? chastised Timothy as he brought his horse alongside the carriage.

      Gabrielle flashed him an angry look with her grey eyes and felt around inside the carriage for something to throw at him. She was unsuccessful so instead she poked out her tongue much to his embarrassment.

      Just this once please can’t you just act proper, for me? he begged.

      "You didn’t seem to care the first time we met
