Myst begins to clean her equipment. She cleans
the metal on her armour. Then she washes the leather
with saddle soap. Cleaning all the mud and old blood
stains from it. She then rubs some oil on the leather
once it is clean to soften and preserve it. After she
finishes with the armour she begins to clean her weapons
as well. Making sure all the dried blood from the
Ssrid is gone.
Once she finishes the cleaning she
moves to sharpening and then to polishing them.
After she finishes with her maintainence she moves over
to a pillow on the floor. She kneels down and tilts
her head back then closes her eyes. She raises her
hands upward and begins to chant an ancient Amazon
chant. Asking the Gods for a blessing in her fight that
will soon come. She feels the Gods answering her and
their touch on her soul. She awakens from the daze the
chanting put her in and rises up slowly. She looks over to
the bed where she layed out all of her equipment. She
knows that soon it will be time.
She turns and
moves over to the the closet and opens it. She removes
a nicer tunic dress from it and puts it on. She
then leaves and goes back down to the main hall to
wait for Soul's and Sabre's safe return with little
Colin. A slight smile plays on her face. It will be good
to have the little one around. She often thinks of
her own daughter, and how much she wishes she could
have brought her here with her. She tries to keep the
memories of her daughter happy ones....from before death
and destruction destroyed their village.
She
sighs lightly..The suddenly looks up..standing infront
of her is one of the kitchen helpers with a tray of
food. "I don't mean to disturb you M'Lady, but the cook
and I thought you may be hungry. So I prepared this
for you." She looks at Myst with a small
smile.
Myst looks back and nods to the young girl, "Thank
you, yes I guess I am a little hungry." She takes the
tray of food and nods to the girl.
The girl bows
slightly then rushes back off to the kitchen to help with
the rest of dinner.
Myst sits there and eats
the bit of food on the try...still waiting for Soul
and Sabre.
