Chapter I
Gabriella awoke early, as was the custom of the Kirkwall Circle. This way of life was all she knew or remembered. Gabriella was sent to the Circle at the age of 5, after showing magical ablities from the cradle. This being a little far from the norm. Most children are sent during early adolescence. She left at such a young age she couldn't even remember her mothers face. The other mages in the Circle were her family now. She began getting cleaned up for breakfeast. As she began taking a washcloth from the basin and clensing the sleep from her eyes, then puts everything away neatly. She decided to wear her faveorite robes, her green ones, they complimented her eyes well; told by other mages. Exiting her room to head to the dining hall for breakfeast she had to cross through the inner courtyard. It was a beautiful day, the morning air was a bit crisp. The sky was bright blue with no clouds to be seen in sight. She entered the dining to hear the chatter of her friends as sat for breakfeast. She sat alongside of Bethany; a newer mage to the Circle. Gabriella was kind and helpful to her. As they hit it off straight away, becoming the best of friends. Even though Bethany was a little older than Gabriella. She took Bethany under her wing to teach her the ways of the Circle. And in return Bethany taught her the ways of the world outside of the Circle. The two chatted during their meal planning the day. It was normal for the Templars to be nearby. Gabriella was used to it, and paid no mind to it. Until the Knight-Captain entered the dining hall. Her gaze went straight to him as if she were in a trance. Bethany began to laugh.
"Gabriella?!", no response. She got louder.
"Gabriella!", still no response.
"GABBY!", She yelled and gave her a little shove. Gabriella fell from her seat. Bethany was laughing hysterically. Gabriella, stunned for a second noticed a hand before her assisting to help her up off the floor. To her surprise it was the Knight-Captain! She takes his hand, her insides all a flutter as gets up off her feet.
"Uh-uh..Thank you Knight-Captian!"
"You're welcome my dear, are you alright?", He asked.
She begins to stutter again, "Uhh..yes Knight-Captain."
"Hello Bethany, how are you faring here in the Circle?"
"I'm doing fine, thank you for asking.", Bethany replied.
"Bethany, I've been meaning to.." He paused "I'm sorry about your mother."
She replied, "Thank you Cullen."
He bows to both of them; making eye contact with Gabriella then with Bethany, "You ladies have a good day." Gabriella in awe as he turns to leave the dining hall.
"Bethany you never told me!"
Bethany replied with confusion in her face, "Told you what?"
"That you knew the Knight-Captain!"
"I did run into him on occasion when I was outside of the Circle with my brother, and the Knight-Captain is the one who brought me here. I have no hard feelings towards him. I'm happy enough, I was tired of running from the Templars, and YOU Gabby have a crush on the Knight-Captain."
"Oh!", Gabriella exclaimed. "That is obsurd! He's a Templar AND the Knight-Captain, Bethany!"
"Gabby, he is very handsome. I can see-", Gabriella stopped her abruptly.
"Stop right there!", Gabriella exclaimed.
"Why, what did I say?", Bethany questioned. "Did you see the way he looked at you?"
"What? You're crazy.", said Gabriella.
"No, I'm not. I know what it looks like when a man is interested in a woman.", Bethany said.
"Even if I was interested nothing could ever become of it. You know this as well as I do."
"He is very handsome, I can see why you are attracted to him."
Gabriella let out a "Hmph!"
"Let's just go to our classes, I'm sure Orsino is awaiting us by now."
They left the dining hall and headed to the Training Hall.
