Excerpt;
As he
ventured further along the tree line, the birds started chattering
and became restless. The squirrels quickly climbed trees, hiding in
their little holes. Devlin’s ears strained to hear what they were
hearing. He stepped into the tree line, and faded into the shadows,
awaiting what threat may come. His hand went to the hilt of his
sword, muscles tensed, ready for a fight. What he saw next was
completely unexpected.
A young
woman treaded softly out of the trees, along one of the many paths
the healers used to forage for herbs and fetch water from the brook;
a woman Devlin had never seen. She was not garbed in the traditional
broadcloth dress, but in pants and some type of jerkin. He’d never
seen such clothing. Her hair was pulled away from her face and high
atop her head, in a small circle
with a
tail flowing to her shoulders. Much like a horse’s tail. He stood
silently, waiting to see what she’d do.
This
woman was not from around here; that much was obvious. His muscles
coiled, ready to pounce should she take off toward the keep. She
simply sat down on the top of the hill, in the rays of the sun, and
watched the children. She seemed to be in awe of what she saw in
front of her.
Devlin
wove silently through the trees to the path she’d emerged on.
Advancing with years of learned stealth, he moved up behind her. When
he was within a few steps, she still was unaware of his presence.
The
breeze brought a whiff of her scent to him. A sweeter smell Devlin
had never encountered. His body reacted immediately. His knees went
weak as he breathed her in.
"Who
are ye?" Devlin demanded, sounding a bit gruffer than planned.
She
jumped, and was gone. Like a ghost into the night. He couldn't
believe his eyes. Glancing down, he saw the slight indention from her
footsteps. He followed them down the path until they abruptly ended
at the brook. He searched the area for her campsite or any signs of
where she’d come from. She was a mystery.
After
minutes of searching, a sound wafted up to his ears. Tilting his
head, he recognized the bells of the gypsy troupe that travelled
through the lands. It was time for him to head to the keep and resume
the duties of middle son.
