A girl apprentice Ranger.
A Girl apprentice Ranger. They would never believe it. When I was younger I wouldn't believe it either. But, then again I wasn't a Ranger's apprentice then. That's right I'm the girl apprenticed to a Ranger. I was accepted two weeks after Ranger Will Treaty got married to Alyss.
It was because I followed the Ranger called Gilan after the wedding. Who wouldn't though, he's the only Ranger to be trained with a sword by MacNiel. So. . . I followed him, because I was taught to and Rangers are so mysterious. Just not as long as Gilan though.
He didn't know I was following him for a while. He said I had a talent for silent movement. "So, why did you follow me and what's your name?"
"I'm Willa Angel. I followed you because you Ranger's are a real fascination and because you trained with MacNiel for a long time. He only trained me for a year." I replied.
"We thought you would try something like this." He said with a smile playing onto his lips.
"Who's "we"?"
"Your mom, Halt and me. We've seen over the past few days you watching. When we asked your mom she told us and said she'll be okay with you training." With that I followed him back to the castle.
That's how I became the first girl apprentice Ranger. After a while it was decided I'd start my training with Gilan and see what happens. They're allowing me to continue my sword training with Gilan. So when that was decided Gilan introduced me to the two other Ranger's there: Will and Halt.
At first they seemed skeptical at first but they warmed up to me. Then we had to leave for Whitby Fief where he was stationed. Gilan woke me at dawn to get packed. When I packed a few of my personal stuff he tied them to Blaze's pack and swung into the saddle.
He waved back to Halt and Will who was seeing us off. Then extended his hand to help me climb on back of Blaze for the trip. While passing through Wensley village Jenny came out of her house waving. Gilan stopped and got off to say goodbye to her. Then we got back on our journey.
It took us a few days to get to Gil's cabin. He allowed me to call him that. It was simply furnished like every other ranger cabin, but he put wildflowers on the fireplace's mantle. "There's your room." He pointed to a room in the hallway. When I finished putting my things away Gil set two cups of coffee out.
I sat opposite of him. He then told me the history of the corps. Then the hard stuff began.
This is my first fan fic. So if you would be kind please give me positive criticism that will help me get better. Also if you love ranger fan fic read Theodora Helena Miller's story. Her story is pretty awesome.
