A/N:
So this is a fanfic based on Tamora Pierce's series it will have Alanna, Kel, and most likely a lot of her characters (they will come in later not now) but also some if not a lot of my own and the main character will be my own so this is your warning if you don't like that the main character is not Tamora Pierce's then don't read this.
Disclaimer: the characters that I didn't create and most of the places are not mine but Tamora Pierce's
Prologue
Nobles and their children danced on the reflective white and black marble floors of the ballroom. The room was surprisingly cool for the amount of people in the room and for the fact that the castle was in the middle of the desert. The King and Queen sat atop their thrones overlooking the ballroom, watching their only child and beloved daughter reject yet another offer to dance. Only ten and she was already drawing the attention of young men , the Queen worried that they only wanted her status and was secretly very happy about her daughter's rough and tough attitude.
At the end of the night the King was on his way to go to sleep following the example of his wife and daughter after seeing of the last guest. Just then there was a blood curdling scream that was cut short and left nothing but eerie silence. The King turned to see his daughter running towards him still in her formal clothes, a fancy green and gold skirt with a matching belly shirt, with her wild black curls no longer held up in a horse tail. Her emerald green eyes wide with fear and recognition she whispered one word before running past him to the royal chambers.
"Mother."
When they got to the king and queen's bedroom they were face with a horrid sight. The Queen laid across the king sized bed her straight black hair fanned out around her head matted with blood an arrow lodged in her temple. A note laid neatly on her chest the crisp white of the parchment stood out against the dark green of the Queen's own belly shirt. It read,
You will hand your daughter over to Lord Lucifer as his bride or loose the last thing you have of your wife, your daughter.
King Kitani soon after emerging from his grief came up with a plan to evade the man that had on many occasions challenged his right the throne, murdered his wife, and now threatens his daughter. Kitani writes a letter to his step bother in Tortall.
Dear Alexander,
Three days after you will receive this letter your niece, my daughter Alegra will arrive at you estate, please take care of my daughter she is all I have left of Esmeralda, for my beloved wife was murdered by Lucifer. He threatens to take Alegra as his wife or he will kill her too, but I'm not about to do that to my daughter not that she would let me. So I ask you dear brother to keep her safe in your country, keep her identity hidden, but I warn you she will want to fight she has always idolized your lady knights . My daughter means the world to m she is all I have now, please take good care of her.
Sincerely Yours,
King Kitani Cresaudo
True to his word Alegra arrived at the castle gates three days after Alexander read the letter out loud to his wife and son. Since the estate received the news of a guest servants have been rushing about to get the small castle ready for her arrival. At the front gates with Alegra is where this story begins.
