After about an hour, Myst recovered from her
rebirth, she packed up her things and mounted Champ and
continued to the Keep. It was almost dark when she arrived.
She approached the first gate and noticed it was
open, but there were two guards on duty. They watched
her approached and challenged her."Halt! Who goes
there?" one of them bellowed."It is I, Mystique." she
replied. As she came closer she recognized one of them.
And they inturn recognized her. "Greetings M'Lady. It
has been a long time. I hope all is well with you?"
the human, Karl, said. "I am fine Karl. Has Soul and
Sabre returned home yet?" she asked in a very low
voice. Karl shook his head,"No M'Lady, but we hope they
will be home soon. Everyone is looking forward to
meeting the new Master. We heard he was a big one, taking
after his father." Myst nodded and smiled very lightly.
"Yes, he is." she sighs slightly still a bit tired. "I
will be up in my room if they should return. But make
sure I am called if anything happens between now and
their return." Karl nods and Myst passes by and heads
to the second gate and enters the Bailey. One of the
stable hands comes out and helps her with the horses.
Another servant comes from the main house. She handed him
the supplies and she took the cradle down from the
pack horse. Once she gave instructions to the stable
hand for Champ she went into the Keep. She just wanted
a small meal, a bath, and then some sleep.
