A/N: Hi. This is my first fic for Tamora Pierce's books. I've only read the Song of the Lioness series. So this story takes place after the last book. I plan on reading the next series; I think it's called the Immortals. So I might incorporate some of that later. Or I might not. We'll see. Anyways I hope you like this first chapter. Please R&R!
Chapter 1: History.
"I hope this is to your liking, my lady," the girl spoke, gesturing to the tent.
"It's fine. Thank you Laila," Alanna of Trebond and Olau told the young girl.
The girl left the tent with promise of bringing her something to drink. And Alanna sat down on the pillows that were sitting in one corner of the tent.
So here she was, back with the Bazhir tribe that had adopted her as one of them so many years ago, The Bloody Hawk.
Sir Alanna of Trebond and Olau was also now known as the Baroness of Pirate Swoop, or informally as Mrs. George Cooper. It had been many years since she had finally defeated Roger, 5 to be exact. And in those years she had married George and had had three lovely children, Thom, the oldest who was now three and twins, a boy and a girl, who were 2 years old. Thom had Alanna's violet eyes and his mothers copper red hair. Alan and Ailianne, the twins, looked like a mix of their parents.
Alanna's life was not the only one that changed. Jonathan had married Thayet in the same year Alanna had married George. A year later Jonathan had their first son, now 4 years old, and named him Roald after Jonathan's own father. A year after that they had their first daughter, Kalasin (named after Thayet's mother) and a year after that they had their second son, now 3 years old, and they named him William, but called him Liam for short. To Alanna they seemed happy enough and that made Alanna happy.
Alanna and Jonathan were not the only ones to happily engage in matrimony. Rispah and Corum had wed and now occupied Trebond. Myles and Eleni also joined together and enjoyed visiting their grandchildren almost everyday. Even Raoul had married, someone quite unexpected, Buri. After much coaxing and courting on his part. The only one to remain unmarried thus far was Gary.
So what was she doing here when she wanted nothing else but to be with her children, George and all her friends? Halef-Seif had asked her to come that was why. For what, she wasn't sure. She supposed she'd find out soon enough. She had arrived at nightfall and most everyone was resting. So Halef-Seif's query had to remain till morning.
Well that's it for now. It's short now, but the chapter will get longer as I go along. Next update will be soon.
Next chapter: Enter Jonathan.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks!
