Terra kneeled on the floor a sponge in her hand, rescrubbing the dirty footprints off the tile. Terra is a 12 year old girl, her light brown hair had the redest of natural highlights. Her face resembled that of an angel, a dirty servant angel, but an angel none the less.
"TERRA!" someone bellowed from upstairs. She threw down the sponge and ran up stairs as fast as her long legs could take her. She ran into a room with a red oak door and bowwed as low as she could to the man inside.
"What is it master Xer?" she said still bowing.
"Go saddle the horses and quiek!!!!!" the man snapped. Terra lifted her bow and ran down the stairs and out the door. She had one blue and one green eye. Her lightweight black skirt not making it at all hard to run. She ran into the stabble and grabbed 3 saddles. One for her master, one for herself, and one for the lady of the house. She saddled the 2 mares and the stallion. The stallion was her own horse, she was black with a white star on her right ear. She was givin to Terra by her Shang master, Chang Dragon for her birthday last year. Terra had named the horse Blackstar. Every morning her shang master came to the house and took Terra for her lessons. Shang was an ancient art of hand and kick fighting. She had started learning shang when she was four years old. But she had also learned the use of swords, long bows, regular bows, and daggers from her older friend Elli. Elli had always said that Terra had magic though she never beleive the old lady. Just then the lady of the house, Delia came running out.
"Stupid girl hurry up!" she screeched just as Terra finished. Terra led the horses out of the stable and to her master Xer and lady of the house Delia.
"Its the kings own" Delia said starting to cry.
"It'll be ok my lady," said master Xer "They won't catch us." he glared over at the staring Terra.
"Saddle up girl!!" Terra bow and jumped onto Blackstars saddle.
"Where are we goi--" Terra was cut off by Xers shouts to lady Delia. Delia and Xer saddled up and kicked there horses into a gallope. Terra followed.
Terra never had known her parents. Xer and Delia always told her, that her parents deserted her on there doorstep never to return when she was only 4 months old. For all that she knew, her parents were traitors and theives. Since when she was dropped on the doorstep Delia had raised her to be a servant to the house. When Terra ended her training to be a master shang and took the test she never did break free of the house. Always to be a servant even though she still trained with other shangs to better her skill. Terra had always had better senses than anyone. All of them like a wolfs. Thats why when she was granted to be a Shang Master her shang name was. Shang Wolf or Terra Wolf.
They rode on down the road. Terra felt some weird hoof beats other than hers, Xers or Delias. She looked backwards to see about 10 horses and there men riding after them.
"Master and Delia!!!" Terra yelled at them "Horses right behind us!!!" Xer looked back and kicked his horse faster as Delia screamed and cried. Terra looking back ahead of them pulled her horse to a stop as did Delia and Xer. A circle was formed around them. The armor Terra realised was of the Kings own and she bowed deep on her saddle at them then came back up.
"Xer your charged for kidnapping royalty" said one man who road forward.
"I didnt do it!" Xer lied and pointed at Delia "She did it!"
"You are both charged for kidnapping then" said the man as he rode closer. Xer took out his dagger and pointed it at the man.
"Dont get any closer!" Xer yelled. Suddenly a flash of light came down and out. Xer sat on the saddle his arm cut from shoulder to elbow with the mans sword.
"Serender and tell me were Terra is" the man ordered Xer.
"She right over there" Delia said crying pointing at Terra. Terra took out her bow.
"Dont come any closer" She ordered the men
"Please come with us Terra, on orders of the king" said another man "My name is Raoul" he said. Terra put her bow back where it belonged: on her saddle and rode over to Raoul.
"You better explain whats going on when we get to were we are going." said Terra to Raoul.
"Oh, we'll tell you more than that when we get to Corus the capital" he said back as some men arrested Delia and Xer. Tieing them to there saddles and tieing their horses to some of the Kings Own's horses. They started down the quiet road to Corus.
"TERRA!" someone bellowed from upstairs. She threw down the sponge and ran up stairs as fast as her long legs could take her. She ran into a room with a red oak door and bowwed as low as she could to the man inside.
