Fire And Ice (Book 1)
“ Another group of horsemen stood assembled in another area in front of the palace. Lord Onatel was mounted on a big gray. His own escort surrounded the Lord and the smaller carriage that bore his wife. Before they passed through the palace gates Onatel stopped briefly before Coran and bowed from the saddle more deeply than he had before. The Lord’s brown eyes met his and he knew it was not an idol gesture. Coran was left to wonder at the deference shown towards him. Was Onate...l becoming a bit unhinged from his thoughts of the future, or was he wiser than anyone knew? Coran prayed it was the former. If it was the latter then that meant war was near, and the world would only suffer for it.
Coran wore his traditional black. The black overshirt worn over his armor bore the silver hawk of Tyelin. He took the reins of his black horse, a gift that was the result of some negotiations between Katelyn and King Robert, and swung himself up, and into the saddle. He was pleased with the new horse. It was an exceptional animal, one of the very best of the stock from Leanesse. Katelyn’s own gain from the mysterious exchange was tied to the back of the coach. Her mount was also black and at least as good as his own. He waited while his newly betrothed said her good-byes to her hosts. Coran already said his before coming outside. Robert and his wife had been kind towards him, Rob, friendly and open, offering his hopes that they would meet again soon. Willa had been a bit distant and he was reminded to ask Katelyn about that. Last night he had gotten distracted from his question regarding her. He nearly blushed at the thought of what had distracted him. Everyone was finally ready to go and they set off for home. Coran rode directly behind the coach along with Devon. Katelyn could be heard giving her opinion of riding in a coach when there was a more than decent horse available, as they passed through the streets. There were not many people about. Most had been up late in celebration. The few he did see were somber as they returned to their normal daily activities after a day or two of merriment. He was forced to agree with Onatel on the emotional condition of the people.MoreLess
