Surprise

[Keleth Silverkin]

Keleth was was walking behind General Leo as he reached the People's Palace. Always wondering to himself why this Rada'Han was still on his neck. Though he knew that it was the only thing left of his parents. Leo had told them that he had saved him from an attack by bandits but his parents didn't make it out. Keleth can only remember screaming and bloodshed that day but he was glad that he was saved by General Leo. Keleth has the pleasure of meeting Lord Rhal in person which in a great gift. "Keleth go with these men, they will escort you to your sleeping quarters. Lord Rhal will be on his way shortly. He has been gone for some time and is now finally back from a long travel." General Leo spoke as he walked further into the palace.

Keleth nodded and followed two men wearing Dharan armor, they wore almost the same thing as General Leo he thought. Being trained by Leo he thought he could have some fun and offered to spar with them but he knew he end up killing them, though that is what General Leo would say to him. Ignoring his little request in his head he found himself in a room that was considered to be a guest room. A bed with red sheets and pillows. Placing his hand on top of the sheets he could tell the material was very expensive just by the touch of the quality. Smiling he went up to the window and stared into the outside world of the People's Palace.

The next morning he woke up from sounds from the door, which ended up being a couple knocks from General Leo. "Keleth please do get ready. Lord Rahl is ready to see you now! Meet in his audience chambers." He spoke as the knocking stopped as Leo left the hallway. Keleth yawned and stretched his arms into the air as he got out of bed and placed his black outfit back on. As he walked out of the door the two D'Haran soldiers nodded to him and had escorted him to the audience chambers of Lord Rahl. "Lord Rahl, Keleth Silverkin!" One of the soldiers spoke as they entered the chamber through the front door.

[Darken Rahl]

Rahl was still adjusting to being back in the land of the living, and he was somewhat irked at General Leo for troubling him with what he thought was a trivial problem. Jennsen was now safely stashed in a small, locked room on the other side of the castle, but he was still toying with the idea of locking her in the dungeon. He didn't want her whining to disturb anyone where she was.

Rahl sat back on his throne, sipping a glass of wine. It was probably because he had not tasted anything at all during his time in the Underworld, but Rahl could have sworn it was the best wine he had ever tasted. Not that he was going to admit that to anyone present, of course.

When General Leo brought the prisoner he had captured into the room, Rahl leaned forward just slightly, examining the boy. He was young, and rather skinny. Rahl might have wondered what use this boy could be to him, if not for the silver band around his neck. A Rada'Han.

"Why do you wear the Rada'Han?" he demanded without preamble.

[Keleth Silverkin]

Keleth looked at Lord Rahl and lowered his head down and knelt down before the lord of D'Hara. Adjusting himself he stood back up and looked at Darken Rahl with a smile though his smile went away as he was asked a question about the Rada'han. Something he never knew why he had on, Keleth had got used to it for many years and always forgot about it around his neck. "Honestly....I don't know. I've had it on since I was born. General Leo had found me at my small camp. My parents and I were attacked and he saved me." Keleth spoke truthfully to Lord Rahl as he looked at General Leo and then back to Lord Rahl. Keleth had heard lots of stories about Lord Rahl and how he acted, his heart beat began to speed up after he had entered the room. He wasn't sure on what was going to happen to him now, waiting for a reply he just stood still hand at his side. "Are you able to take this off me?"

General Leo walked beside Darken Rahl and lowered his head toward his ear and began to whisper, "My lord, we found him as a kid in one of the forest. I had reasons to believe that might have been useful to us. I have the key with me. Another interesting thought though, his mother might have been a confessor. My men killed the father and mother before I had time to question them."
