But then she remembered Falek's strange announcement the night before, and his mysterious promise to explain this morning. She threw the covers back and rushed into her fighting leathers and hooded cloak, barely stopping to eat the toast and bacon he'd had brought for her.
When she opened the door to her chambers, he was stationed outside and gave her a lopsided smile. "Are you ready, Princess?"
"What are we doing?"
"We're going to train. I told you that."
"I… but…"
