Through the mirror
Last time we saw our heroes they had just
rescued the price and saved the land. They were quite restless and getting a
little rowdy. They were trying to unlock the power hidden in the swords and
ended up setting the west wing of the castle on fire.
"That's it I can't take it anymore!"
yelled Prince Kaddar.
"you
know sir. Mabey they just need something to do?" asked the wise and knowing Sir
Ronald.
O.k. time to back track. Now the heroes happen to
be Daja Briar and Tris. No Sandry because she just doesn't fit in with the
plot. Now about a month back they saved Emelan from evil queen Cytheria and her
cow headed donkey butted camel middle Delalocaboga. As a reward they each
recievd a shield and a magic sword. Each a different color. Daja's was red,
Tris's was blue and Briar's was green. Then sir Ronald took them to carthack
and that's where they've been for the past two weeks. Time to go forward now.
"Where do you expect to take them."
"our
northern neighbors of course"
"tortall?"
"Yes
tortall."
"what
could they do there."
Train
of course."
"Train?"
"yes
train. Under the care of lord whyldon they will train to become nights."
"but
two are girls."
"yes
I know. But they are taking girls now."
"they
are."
"Yes.
They are"
"how
long would they be gone?"
"let
me think… … … uh? Oh I have it eight years."
"eight
years free of them. No more burning down huge chunks of the palace, or mindless
bickering over whose stupid shield is shinier or whose sword is sharpest. Eight
years free of endless dueling in the corridors, and magical explosions from
their swords in the corridors. No more plants popping up or moving around. No
more lightning bolts bouncing around the dinner tables in front of the whole
castle. And no more of the gold candlesticks flying through the throne room
into the courtyard where they practice. It will be much more peaceful here. Yes
of course you can take them. Maybe after they train they can wreck the castle
in Corus for a while.
Meanwhile
in Corus:
"Guess
what I found out"
"Neal
please tell me you weren't easedropping again."
"Well
kel if it makes you feel any better I won't tell you"
"Whatever"
"As
I was saying I just heard that three new pages are comeing and that they saved
all of emelan."
"Emelan?"
"I've seen it on maps. It's southwest of carthak."
"Well neal since you know so much then you can help me
with this geography homework since I don't understand any of it."
"but
I don't…" Neal answered but Cleon cut him off.
"This
is a study group and I need to study and we do it in a group."
"he
has a point Neal."
"Very
funny Kel."
Neal
walks off to join Cleon while Kel who has finished her work goes back to her
room because Lalassa promised to teach her how to knit.
Okay
switch gears now. Emperor kaddar has called the children into his conference
room and they are waiting for him there and having a little conversation……
"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
"I'm
gonna kill you briar."
"Daja
lay of briar okay."
"No
he pulled my braids again and I told him that if he did it again I would kill
him."
"Well
then briar she did give you fair warning."
"Well
I didn't thinkshe really meant it," briar screemed.
"Oh
well briar I'll miss ya cause it really looks like she's gonna kill ya this
time."
Briar
scrambles over the table for his life and sheaths his sword and begins to
climb. Daja lets out the fiercest war cry Sandry had ever heard and charged at
briar. Briar made one last jump cause that was all he had time for cause Daja
was almost at the middle of the table and his hands finally gripped it, the
chandelier and he swung his feet of the table and clamored onto it. Daja
finally got to the chandelier and since she was taller than briar she jumped at
it and grabbed it. At that briar leapt of the chandelier and landed on the top
of this huge writing desk on the top of all the cabinets over it. Daja jumped
and landed next to him and he unsheathed his sword and they began dueling.
Their where sparks flying because of the clashing metal. Daja had taken the
first strike so she was attacking and briar was blocking. Then Kaddar walked in
with sir Ronald and yelled for them to stop and briar did but daja who once she
starts fighting goes into this little zone didn't hear him or see briar sheath
his sword and she slashed him from his shoulder to his elbow. He yelled and
tumbled of the dresser with his hand over his arm. His arm was bleeding
fiercely. Daja yelled b
