Title: Incomprehensible Rating: PG-13 Length: 140 words Competitor: Buriam Tourakom Round/Fight: 1/E Summary: Kel doesn't understand anything that's happening.
Midwinter was supposed to be a happy time of year. This one was anything but. It was more than just unhappy; Kel was finding it frankly incomprehensible.
One day: Vinson failing his Ordeal, emerging from the Chamber mad as a rabid bear. Lalasa – gentle Lalasa – almost viciously glad about it. Buri, a steady, calming influence, talking Kel through her reaction.
The next day: Joren dead, killed by the Chamber. His parents breaking into Kel's room, blaming her for their son's death. Raoul, furious and magnificent in his defense of his squire. And Buri, this time emerging tossled and sleepy from Raoul's room and then, when the dust had settled, urging him back to bed.
There was nothing in any of it that made sense to Kel, and nowhere in the palace or even Corus that was far enough away.

Awwww. *huggles Kel* I like the way you compare one day to the next to show how odd everything is, it's interesting.
