Title: Trickster's Pawn 29 Rating: PG Length: 200 words Competitor: Owen Round/Fight: 4 (Final!) Summary: PG, 200 words. Epilogue, part 1: eight years later, Kel runs into old friends.
“Lady Kel! Sir Merric!”
Kel shaded her eyes, trying to see who was calling her. It was a young woman in the uniform of the Queen's Riders.
“Who do you suppose that is?” Merric asked, reining in his horse.
Kel dismounted, handing her reins to the boy who came forward to take them.
“My lady,” the young woman called again, and this time Kel recognized the voice – in combination with the black hair and moon-shaped face.
“Gydane! I'd heard you'd joined up.”
Gydane saluted, and when she lifted her arm, Kel saw the insignia of a Rider second-in-command of a squad.
“Well met,” Merric said, coming to stand halfway behind Kel. “If you're second, who's commanding the squad?”
Kel glanced at her husband, appreciating his solid presence at her back. It had been a long ride, and she wanted nothing so much as to drop into bed – or onto a bedroll, as the case may be.
“Owen of Jesslaw,” Gydane answered.
Kel found herself grinning. She hadn't thought of Owen in months, perhaps years. “They put him in charge?” she asked, with a laugh.

Oh, I like that her first reaction was to grin, rather than feel regret! ♥
