Sheer Folly

[neav]

Neav was too deep in winding the bandage around Folly's leg to even flinch when his 'brother' knelt down beside him.
"Aatos..." he repeted the name as if half in a dream. "My name is Neav," he added because he knew he had not told it before.
Soon enough, the bandage was finished. Sheer Folly turned her head to gaze at his work. Neav grinned at her.
"You sleep now," he murmured. "And we will get on to Camelot tomorrow."
The boy turned back to the leg one last time. He touched it with a gentle finger... and though he did not know it, though it may not have been seen in the dim light, his eyes flashed sliver as magic was drawn from him.

Unaware of what he had done, Neav got to his feet. He grinned at the mention of food.
"Yes, please," he said, suddenly finding that he was too hungry to protest about the cost.
Neav notice Aatos walk, and suddenly stop as though he had seen something. He felt fear twist in his stomach.
"What is it... Aatos? Is something there?" he asked nervously, in a way that a trained fighter never would have. If there was anyone out there, they might guess now that they had been seen.


Notes: It is fine for you to have you sister join us.

Aatos, was staring out into the darkness, his eyes trying to pick up something. But he saw nothing. But that didn't less his apprehension. “Its nothing Neav.” He said, using the name the boy gave him. “Must have been just a shadow.” It wasn't any ordinary shadow, but he needed to keep the boy calm.

Aatos proceeded to fish around in the pouch and pick out 7 silver coins. “Hey Garrett.” He shouted up at the stable hand. The practically had already jumped down before Aatos had gotten over there. “Bring this to your Mistress. Two meals, and keep the extra.” The young boy smiled and ran off.

Aatos had walked over to Neav, when he heard the door open. Aatos spun around, unsheathing the sword on his waist. A heavily cloaked figure had entered the Barn. They where short, and lithe, but besides that you couldn't tell if it was male or female. Aatos stood between Neav and the new arrival, protecting the helpless boy from what could be a dangerous foe. It could be an assassin, coming to kill Aatos, and if it was, he was going to let Neav become a victim. No he would protect the boy. “Who are you and what do you want?” He asked harshly.

The figure seemed to glide closer, the person was obviously very graceful. “My you have grown sense we last met, haven't you?” The person was obviously female, and her voice attested to that.

The hair on Aatos neck stood up, that voice sounded familiar, but why? “I ask again, who are you?”
The figure uncovered her face, she was a beautiful women. Her skin was pale, and hair was dark. When she talked, she seemed to have this accent that was something that he had ever heard before. “What you don't remember me? I think I should be offended.” She said, mockingly.

She glided even closer to Aatos and his charge, “You have changed much.. Little brother.”
Her words shocked Aatos. He could only say, “Anita...”

“While I forget in my exile. I'm free in my exile.”

Just a shadow? That was alright, then. Shadows were things to spook at, but not to afraid of for a long time. Neav offered Aatos a smile, to show he was not scared.
His smile only grew when the man sent Garret off for supper. He was glad, he was so hungry....

Suddenly the door opened. Neav skittered wildly. That shadow had come to prove it was not so harmless! Every horse in the stable gave a cry to match his own. But then Aatos was between him and the stranger, protecting as though he were really his brother and not just pretend.
Then they were talking. Aatos and the shadow. And the shadow spoke as though she knew him... and called him 'little brother' and Aatos spoke 'Anita' and sounded as though he could cry.
Neav did not understand. His sister? But why did he not know her? And why had some come here in the dark and sneak on them so?

"Is... is she going to kill you?" he whispered and really hoped it was not true.

Aatos was shocked to his core. His sister was alive. She who practically raised him. It was.. indescribable. Aatos barely heard Neav question, but Anita didn't miss it. She glided closer to the boy. “No little one.” She said, her voice soft. She looked at him, as if she was remembering something. “No I am here to warn him of a danger. And also to warn you Neav.” She said, her smile was soft, if not kind.

“I thought you where dead, Anita.” Aatos said, he was shocked, he couldn't believe what was going on. He had always known that his sister to be a seer. And now after 4 years, she returns, to give him a warning. But why?

“As did I little Brother. But I can not tarry long. I must leave before Garrett returns.” She said turning to the two of them. Aatos just looked on blankly.

“You must listen to me Aatos, and listen to me carefully. Arthur will lead you to your death. Do not trust him.” She said, her voice harsh. Then she turned to Neav, “Neav, You are special. Never forget that. Arthur kingdom will fall, in the end it will not stand.” She said turning her attention upward. Then Aatos said, almost mechanically. “It is as the Priestess said.” The words seemed to have a prophetic ring to it. Anita turned, completing the words, “Indeed it is.”
She turned and walked out, leaving nothing more then her words as a reminder that she was there.

“While I forget in my exile. I'm free in my exile.”

The lady was here to warn them of a danger? Neav watched her, eyes wide and her smile did nothing to calm his fear. What danger?
And Aatos said he thought Anita were dead, and Anita said she thought it also. Neav watched her, uncertain. She did not seem like a ghost, but he supposed that he did not really know what a ghost should look like...
He could be forgiven for being confused. When Anita said Aatos must not trust Arthur, did she mean the Prince? Did she? And his own warning never seemed to come. She told him only that he was special. What was that supposed to mean?

And then the lady was gone, swiftly and silent as she had arrived. Neav stood, blinking and feeling rather useless. He was quite for a long time. He was not sure what mood Aatos could be in now... it might be dangerous to talk. His sister had just walked in when she was supposed to be dead, spoken some words that made no sense and then walked out again.
