Prologue: The Year
Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau was holding a grudge. Yes, the King's Champion, the Lioness, the first lady knight in centuries, the warrior woman of many legends was holding a grudge. Not ONLY that, but this grudge was toward the man she swore to protect…the King of Tortall, Jonathan of Conté. But all grudges aside, Alanna needed to return to Corus. She had spent a year stewing in her fury, which was not only directed toward Jon or that damnable STUMP of a man, Lord Wyldon. That infuriating feeling was also toward herself.
I WANTED SO BADLY to help Keladry of Mindelan that--Mithros-be-damned--Jonathan had to ORDER me away. And worst of all HE…HE was RIGHT! She didn't need me to be her guiding light. She survived Wyldon unjustified probationary period. Not only survived, but proved herself worthy of being a knight of the realm.
Yes…Jonathan was right. Of course, I'm NOT going back to TELL him he is right…I'm going back because…it's about time. Yes. This is the year, the Goddess warned of. THE YEAR. It is not the time for anger. We need to prepare for the battles to come. After all, I need to get back to Corus before the Goddess's gift arrives.
A/N. This is my first fanfiction. I have only read the Lioness series, skimmed the Immortals, and read only First Test. Personally, I just finished First Test yesterday and HAD to write something. Plot Copyright 2001, May.
