12 We can't take him!!!

Seth woke up the next morning to a loud chattering coming from outside his room. He immediately reached for his jacket,which he had taken off after sweating hard in the night, and pulled it on. He tied his excessively long white hair into a ponytail, leaving some of it to cascade down his shoulders.He then walked out of the room.

The Knights were preparing to go out, either for training or to a battle.

"Morning!!" a familiar voice came from nearby.

Walking towards him was Honald, accompanied by Siofra.

"Morning!!" he replied.

"Have you gotten a team??" Siofra asked, stopping beside him.

"Nope!!" Seth replied.

"You can come with us!!" Honald said, "We are in Team Minerva!Our captain is Nienna!!"

"And I think she likes you!!" Siofra winked.

"Are you serious??" Seth exclaimed.

"Can't I be??" Siofra asked, crossing her arms over her chest. She had two fine looking daggers sheathed and held to her waist by her belt, and a crimson cloak trailed behind her.

"Hey,Seth!!" someone called from the lounge below. It was.....

"Nienna!!" Seth gasped.

"See,I was right!!She likes you!!" Siofra said,looking into the lounge below.

Suddenly,somebody approached Nienna.

He had hazel hair and was clad in a weird make of armour. A silver cloak danced in the air behind him.He and Nienna were clad in the same armours,maybe the symbol of their authority, and they started to talk.

*************

"What are you doing??" Radcliffe asked, toughening up.

"What does it look like I am doing??" Nienna asked, looking at Radcliffe in the eye.

"You know very well that we aren't allowed to take amateurs to raid!!" Radcliffe said.

"Oh!!Yeah,I do!!" Nienna replied, the least moved by his concern.

"Then why are you taking him with you??"

"So he can see The Marauders!!"

"What?? You're taking a tourist with you!?"

"What if I am??"

"You know very well that that can cost you your post as Captain of second team!!"

"Oh yes I do!!"

"Then don't you dare bring him along??"

"What if I do so??"

"Then I'll tell Anselm myself!!"

"Alright!!Go ahead!!"

Seeing that Nienna wouldn't change her mind about that, Radcliffe couldn't change her mind either. He couldn't allow her to bring the newcomer with them to the raid and neither could he allow it for her to lose her position. She was a perfect knight,one of the unique kind. Suddenly,he had an idea....

"Why don't you let him stay her??He can see the Marauders if he visits Veldon, the watcher!! And that will keep him safe,too. Isn't that what you want??For him to be safe??I realized you're taking liking in him!!And you don't want anything to happen to him,do you??"

Nienna kept quiet for some time,as if thinking through it all.Finally.....

"You're right!!" she agreed.

Radcliffe sighed in relief.

"Hey,Seth!!" she lifted her eyes up to the boy who looked down at her, " you are going to stay behind as a watcher!!!"

****************

Seth couldn't believe his ears. He has been anticipating to see the Marauders just now but suddenly,he had to stay behind as a watcher.

"Don't worry!!" Honald patted his shoulder, "Watchers see almost everything that happens in Nowhere!!"

"And it's super fun!!" Siofra added, " and besides,once you are ready, you will come with us!!"

Seth thought through it all. What if he just became a burden to the team??He couldn't help but just agree to Nienna's suggestion, and besides he trusted her. He knew she wouldn't want anything to happen to him, even though they had just met a day ago. He could see that in her beautiful eyes.

"Alright!!" he called, looking down at her and agreeing with her.

"Take care of our home!!" she called back.
