As they approach the house a bell rings three times.

''Rukkie wat the dong for. Is it ah moonstur attck.'' She said with a worried expression.

''No, then it would be rung constatly to let everyone know to return to the village, and it's not time for people to come in so... Uh it's probably a convoy from Lord Temstone.''

After delivering the chair and tying the pexan to the enclosure they walked with there father to the northern vilkage gate where there was a clearing for wagons in the centre with a ring of people surrounding there was 7 wagons, 4 open, and 3 with linen roofs.

And surrounding it where 12 armored horses which had knights standing next to them in one of the open carts a knight in full plate armor open a scroll and annouced that they are the annual caravan to this village.

Then it was news ftom the kingdom in the last year. They then began to collect the taxes and unloaded essential goods that had been ordered the year before. Also any person who had reached adulthood was taken into one of the carrages with a roof to see if they have any magical power by touching a crystal ball. as people with magic power where uncommon and it was completly random.

''It's your brother's turn now.'' Said Sofia's father as she was sitting on his soldiers. ''It was a surprise when your sister had gained the power of life magic two years ago. We'll go the the chapel later to visit her.''

Her brother wslked out of the carriage and waded through the crowd to his family. ''No i did'nt get any power.'' He said with slumped shoulders. ''Not only did she grow up before me but, she also has magic.''

''Hahahahaaa.'' Laughed her father, almost dropping sofia.

''Ahh'' as he caught her.

''Sorry dear.''

''That ok daddi.''

Once her father had placed her down on the ground. He then started to walk towards the cart.

'''Son. You really thought we would have two awakened in our family there's only 1 in a hundred prople with magic.''

''Yeah.... I know but i could still hope.''

''Yes that's ok. Now let's carry these boxes back to the house and then we'll go visit Lia, OK.''
