Heck, I haven't even read the PoTS but I love revenge, and this has been done a lot, but hell, it's my first try on this. Tell me about it.

I don't own anyone.

"Lady Keladry of Mindealan. Welcome to the Shang. You are many years late, but we see your skill. You have been thrown from your destiny, but we will help. You have been chosen by the gods. You shall succeed. You will remain at Shang, training for 12 years. They you will go into the world to make your way and fortune. The terms are, you may not leave once you begin; you will take the Shang ordeal; you will not divulge our secrets; you will follow the code of honor." He trailed off, the committee in complete silence.

A tall slim girl stood infront of him, brown hair whipping into her hazel eyes. "I agree." And the gods sent a clap of thunder down on them. A loud heavenly voice, a woman's, said, "so mote it be" and that was that.

Many,many,many,many, actually, 12 years later.

Keladry dragged herself out of the chamber. The same voice that had proclaimed her destiny so many years ago, pealed out again. "You are the Shang Phoenix." And Kel looked up at the thundering clouds, felt the first drop of rain on her cheek and fell to the ground, exhausted.

When she woke up, she found herself in a healing tent. She knew that she had passed, and was happy. She had vowed not to speak till she finished her ordeal as a Shang. She smiled. She made her way outside. There was a whole load of her friends waiting there for her. The healer had thrown them out. She leapt onto her best girlfriend and squealed. It was the first time they had ever seen her show so much emotion. "I made it!" they all stopped and stared.

"What?"

"You spoke."

"eh, so?"

"you haven't spoken ever."

"oh, when I joined Shang, I vowed that I won't speak till I pass the ordeal. It was a bad experience, but I made it." She grinned and began to sing. Her friends shook their heads and smiled.

A man grimly shook his head. The face in the small portal nodded and left.

Well, how was that? Good? Bad? REVIEW!
