A Simple Tale...
Part I-
Minako lead the fair-haired knight inside to her small house and ushered him to sit, while she pored him some ale. Setting it in front of him, she slipped in the seat across from him with a cup of herbal tea for herself. Taking a sip she watched him with lowered eyes.
Quatre took a drink from the mug in front of him, setting it down he sighed and asked the question that waited at his lips. "How old are you?"
Sipping her tea she answered in a uninterested tone "Twenty winters, this winter."
Quatre choked on his ale and he quickly set the mug down. "Twenty?" He asked disbelief heavy in his voice.
Setting her empty cup down Minako sighed, "Mi'Lord, if you have nothing to say to me, other then to know my age, I suggest you leave, number one, the snow is falling heavier and I do not have the time or will now to sit and chat."
Quatre stood up, his sword swinging gently at his side. "Lady Aino, just because you are twenty, younger by three years then myself, and are known as the greatest mage in the known world, does not give to the right to dodge court responsibilities!"
Minako stood and started towards her counter, "I know it does not, and what about Court, I'm not going to come with you if that's what you're here for, to bring me back I mean."
Quatre watched her, "I am, but First I must ask you, have you ever heard of a witch by the name of Dorothy?"
Minako dropped her cup.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Rei leaned forward in her saddle, sighing she thought of what the knight just told her. 'So the King is dieing...'
"Lady Hino, I say we stop here for the night, we can make it to the castle by nightfall tomorrow, as long as we leave at sunrise." Trowa said slipping off his horse and pulling out a bedroll from a pack.
Grumbling Rei slipped off her own horse, she reached into a pack and pulled out a long sleeved leather jacket and slipped it on, already could she tell the were heading north, and away from the forest, not just any forest, but HER forest and her home.
Turning to look at him she saw he was starting a cooking fire and so she grabbed her bow and quiver off her mare and slipped into the trees to hunt for their dinner.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Ami finished stuffing the last of her books into a pack on her horse that Sir Chang had brought with him for her.
"Woman hurry." Wufei said atop his stallion.
"Alright she said pulling herself on the horse they started off in the early daylight in silence. After a while of quiet Ami reached into a pack to pull out a book, and sat reading as she sat on the horse, making Wufei roll his eyes.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Minako looked pale, very pale. "Please tell me you did not just say Dorothy." She said in an almost scared voice.
Quatre looked up from the shattered cup to Minako's face, blinking he wondered what was so wrong. "Yes, yes I did."
Minako's eyes quickly closed and she mumbled something under her breath and waved her hand towards the broken cup. Quickly, almost like it was natural, the pieces took flight and sent themselves to a fiery death among the flames in the hearth.
Quatre watched in awe, "Did you just...make that fly?" He stared into the fire.
"Of course I did." Minako still had her eyes closed and was now deadly calm. Opening her eyes, Quatre saw that her eyes had darken. "What about Dorothy?"
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Rei groaned as she felt the cold air blast her face. Opening an eye she saw Trowa slipping out the tent flap and allowing the freezing air to hit her and wake her up.
Sitting up she reached for her pack and pulled out a warmer tunic then her leather sleeveless shirt and quickly switched it then pulled her leather jacket back on and pulled her tall boots on and finally she walked outside to see what was being made for breakfast.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
"WOMAN!" Wufei caught the blue hair girl before she fell off her horse. "Put you're damn book away, we are almost there."
Ami looked up and blushed as Wufei set her down on the ground, and continued to lead the two horses into the tall gate where people started to stare at the odd couple walked towards the palace.
"Lady Mizuno, we will be there soon, and from there you will meet with Prince Hiiro, and help him with plans for the journey." Wufei said walking into the stable yards and hand the reins to a yardman and give him instructions on where to have the packs put.
"Sir Chang, I will be able to stay out of the courts view won't I?" Ami said closing her book and putting it into a pocket on her skirt.
"Lady Mizuno, you will be presented to court before you leave with us. All of you will be." Wufei said not even looking at her.
Ami paled and fainted.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Throwing the door to barn open with a burst of magical wind, Minako stomped into the barn and with a sharp whistle a large white mare with what seemed to have gold eyes and golden white mane kicked open the door that held her in the pen.
Pulling a saddle off the wall Minako quickly saddled her horse and started to load a few packs she bought with her.
"Lady Aino, would you care to explain?" Quatre said walking in and setting two more packs that she had shoved at him and told him to carry.
"We are going to court. And we are going now." Minako finished with her packs and moved to grab Quatre's which held clothes and food, but Quatre grabbed them first and put them on his own horse that could carry more as it was larger.
"I thought you wouldn't go to court." Quatre stated as he pulled off his freezing mail to replace the metal with another shirt then his cloak.
"I changed my mind." Minako said sharply as she pulled her hair back into a thick braid, then pulling on a lesser cloak then her heavy one.
"What made you?" Quatre asked mounting SandWind, and looking to see the snow subduing.
Minako mounted her beauty and whispered out with bitter hate, "Dorothy." Gently kicking her mare they started out.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Serenity smiled as a pair of dark blue eyes finally open to look up at her.
"Hello, Lady Mizuno, do you feel well?" Serenity asked as Ami sat up in the bed she had been laid in.
Ami slowly rubbed the back of her head and blinked looking around the room. "I feel well enough. Where am I?"
"Your in you chamber, well your chamber until we leave, once the others return." Serenity said and started to stand. "Lord Chang brought you and your packs here, after you fainted. I'll call the servants to draw a bath for you, I'm sure after a day on a horse you will want one."
"One moment, who are you?" Ami asked as Serenity slipped through the door, but it was too late for the blonde to hear the question, she was gone.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Rei winched as they came to the first patches of snow on the ground. She hated the snow, that why she lived alone in the south forest. But also when they came to the snowy area they came to the first trouble since they left, thieves.
The day before they reached the Palace they made camp in a cave, as it was snowing still. Rei sigh and went to see if there was anything left in this cold to hunt, she needed to do something, that was how she lived, never standing still. And when she came back, there were ten men standing in the caves mouth, inside she could see Trowa fighting with three more. Sneaking up a tree she pulled out an arrow and aimed for the back of a man in the opening. Pulling the string to her bow back she asked Mars to let her aim be true. Letting go of her arrow the man fell over dead in a second, staining the soft white snow a harsh blood red.
Chaos broke out after that death, the twelve men looked around and a moment later another man fell dead due to one of Rei's arrows.
Trowa smirked and quickly cut down two of the men he was fighting with his sword, then pulling out a hidden dagger and throwing it in a heart of the last.
Another man went down an arrow in his heart. Then another with one in his throat. The six left looked around as three threw themselves at Trowa, fighting the knight with knives and pure strength only, as the other three ran to find the archer.
Rei watched from the tree as two men walked towards her, arming her faithful bow with two arrows she aimed, know that if she missed they would find her. She could not allow that. Pulling the string back again she released the deadly arrows. "Damnit!" She cursed as she hit one man in the heart killing him, but only the right arm of the other.
Jumping from her tree she landed on her feet as the thief stared at her.
"Who are you!" He muttered pulling the arrow from his limp arm.
Pulling out a knife from her sleeve the man jumped for her and she just barely dodged, her heavy cloak weighing her down. But she smiled. As he ran at her again she dodged once more, but as he passed her again she bashed him in the back of the head with her elbow before shoving her knife into his back, and killing him. Reaching down she yanked the knife out of the man, and whispered, "My name is Rei Hino, don't forget it."
"REI! LOOK OUT!" Rei spun on her heels at hearing Trowa call, her hair spinning out in front of her and she watched as the last Thief slashed a piece of her midnight hair off.
"Bad move." Rei said softly before she slammed her fist into his nose, breaking it and killing him with that move. She pulled her fist back as he fall towards her, catching him she pushed him off and threw the dead body to the ground before turning to Trowa.
"You okay?" She asked Trowa as she walked back to the cave, walking around the dead bodies.
"I'm fine, but look at your hand." He grabbed her right hand, the skin on her knuckles had cracked when she punched the last man.
"It's fine. We can take care of it later, but for now, can we get as far away from here as possible?" She looked at him quickly, a cut here, a burse there, but he was fine.
"Of course." And they moved to pack up camp again, and to ride through the night.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
"Lady Aino, do you want to stop for the night?" Quatre ask as the rode on. They had been on the rode for a few hours now.
"No. not if you don't mind." Minako said from atop her horse which Quatre had learned was named Beautiful.
"No, I don't mind, I'd like to keep moving. Just the other few Ladies that I've traveled with have to stop about every hour, and I just thought..."
"Well, Sir Winner, I travel often, I go to those sick and those who need help. I'm used to riding all night." Minako shifted on her horse and they rode on in silence.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Rei and Trowa arrived at the palace within half a day's hard riding. Entering the courtyard they were greeted by the Prince and Wufei.
"Trowa! You're finally back." Hiiro said his tone cold.
"Yes." He slid off his horse and offered a hand to Rei who waved it away with her bandaged hand and jumped down landing in the solid ground.
"Barton. What happened to you two." Wufei said looking at the cut on Trowa cheek.
"Oh, just a little run in with some thieves." Rei muttered shouldering her bow as the two looked at her.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
"Lady Aino?" Quatre glanced at her, they had been riding for two days straight and Minako had been the one to refuse stopping, it would take about another day to get there, and Minako was getting tired but she wouldn't let them stop. Quatre was used to staying awake for days upon days in a row. "Come here."
She moved her horse in line next to him, "Yes?" she asked with a yawn.
"You need sleep."
"No I don't." She tried to stop another yawn.
"Yes you do, and if you want to keep moving, come sit with me, so you can sleep, and not fall, and I'll lead Beautiful."
She looked at him almost as if he was a ghost.
Quatre sighed and tugged on her arm to pull her across the small gap and set her in front of him.
"Hey!" she protested but gave in when Quatre opened his heavy blue cloak and pulled her in to keep warm.
"Be careful with Beautiful..." She didn't finish as she already closed her eyes and sleep had called her.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Quatre was wrong, it only took half a day and Minako slept through that, and that where she was as they entered the busy courtyard, still happily asleep leaning against Quatre's chest in his warm cloak.
"Quatre!" Quatre looked up to see Wufei, Hiiro, Trowa and a woman standing around as if they were waiting for them.
"Would you know we were coming? I sent no message." Quatre said still on his horse.
"We were here for Trowa and Lady Hino here, but I see you found Lady Aino." Hiiro said as he reached to pull Minako into his arms.
"Yes," Quatre slid down off SandWind and took Minako from his prince. "We rode through the night twice, she seems very worried about something, and that something being Dorothy..."
