Chapter 206: Summerlands

Rhychard Bartlett sat on the ground, his legs crossed and folded under him, the Guardian Sword resting across his lap, his hands placed flat on the bronze blade as the morning sun warmed him. The sounds of the small waves of Manatee Creek in front of him provided a soothing white noise to his morning meditation, something he had neglected for far too long. If he was ever going to master his magic and the power of the sword, he needed to get in tune with it, make the blade a part of him. Kendalais, the Sidhe Warrior Master, had told him as much, but Rhychard had barely had enough time to eat let alone meditate the past couple of weeks. Still, there were so many answers he needed, and he hoped the twelve Warriors who resided in the sword could provide them. He just needed to spend time with them.
