'I knew these three were the ones,' Nina mused as she watched her companions enter the small room. She stayed crouched low in the darkest corner as the King spoke with them, a slight smirk on her face.
When the King had left and Vanelee had called her forth, Nina slipped quickly from the corner to his side and smiled broadly.
"You are the ones I've been looking for," she announced, stepping in front of the warriors, "I will accompany you on this quest and keep you safe as long as I have breath."
Dreggan and Matt seemed slightly amused by this last comment, but Vanelee registered only a complacent look tinged with a slight sadness. Nina knew that to them it must seem ridiculous for a mere child to offer protection to warriors, but they would learn soon enough.
