Anthony Returns
"Anthony is supposed to be back by now", Ruby said.
She held unto Seth as they rode on his horse, back to Ruby's little cottage. Worry filled her mind and different thoughts as well.
"Do you think that King Yianni has changed his mind from helping me with soldiers?", she asked Seth.
Seth had already thought about this but it did not make sense to home that a king who had already given his word would go back on it. Seth did not think that was the case at all.
"No, I do not think so", Seth replied to Ruby. "Probably something little is causing a delay in Anthony's arrival. Let us just wait and see. I am sure it won't get past today"
Ruby nodded and Seth felt every movement. Her head was resting on the middle of his back and she held him tightly with her arms. For Seth, it was not even tight enough.
