Most of these characters belong to Takeuchi Naoko. I just borrowed my daughters paper dolls again.
Striking out
Part III: Becoming a Queen
Getting out of the castle all alone required a small amount of trickery, a lot of stealth, and a good bit of luck. Beryl was happy when she made it. Stopping the horse she had lead so far, she pulled a slip of paper out of her belt. Unrolling it, she studied the map she had sketched from the scattered clues. 'Metallia is to the east from here, in a plateau.' Slipping it back into her belt next to her dagger, she mounted up and headed into the rising sun.
The rocking gait of the mare soothed her. 'I've been trapped far too long in the palace. I've missed the freedom of riding. It had always helped clear my mind.' Staring at the brightening scenery, she let her mind drift over the her plan, searching for any flaws.
She made it to a small grove of oak trees by midmorning. 'If the clues are right, there will be a rocky plateau on the other side.' Glancing about, she looked for a secluded place to shelter her horse. She didn't want to chance that the unseelie might demand that it be sacrificed. She refused to lose her ride home. Spotting a small knot of trees, she lead the mare to it. Loosely tying the reins, she made sure there was water in reach.
Checking her dagger and the map, Beryl squared her shoulders and struck out to find the the one she was pinning her hopes on.
