Just south of the land of Alcrast, lies the island of Lodoss, the acursed land.
Setting: fifteen years later from the end of the series.
"and the priestess let the evil into her heart,
and the knight begged for her life
and Marfa disapeared.
The warrior known as Gaddack
was reborn.
The knight was merry.
Now fifteen years has past,
and the sun has gone down
many a Time on the body
of a new warrior.
a girl with nether
mother nor father.
a warrior
and a witch
who seeks the title
of knight......." Maar was sitting in his usual place in the streets, recounting all that he knew, of lodoss, and it's people. In the crowd gathered around him, was a girl, no a woman. Her eyes were half green, half brown,
her hair a dark brown. She stoud out from the crowd with her gray armor, and black sword sheath. Her hair was pulled back from her face with a black badanna. This was the girl whom Maar had wrote about.
And her name was Medea.
After the crowd had parted, Medea made her way through the crowd to Maar.
"hey Me."Maar said. It had only been a few weeks since he had come back from his adventures with ashram. So his stories were still new. Maar had befriended this girl the day he had meant her, on this street. She had told him her dream to become a knight, which most people thought foolish, she was a girl after all. But after he saw her battle with a theif, he was fully convinced that she was able.
"hey Maar. I liked that part you wrote about me." she smirked "looks like I'm the best material. Running out so soon?"
" thanks." he said shortly(ha ha) "so when do you find out if you're a knight or not?" he said changing the subject.
"tommorow. I've applied for this 4 times, you'd think they'd actually listen at least once. but I just get laughed at."
"well, it might help if you didn't dress like a guy"
"oh, so I'm suposed to fight in a dress? no way! I need full body movement to become a knight."
"sheesh, alright don't bite my head off." Maar said, "and have some faith, maybe you'll get it this time"
"maybe your right maar" She sighed and looked at the castle. "oh well, I won't know tell tommorow" a messenger came riding up, and stopped next to medea.
"Are you Medea, no-last-name" the messenger asked
"I'm Medea sir" He looked down at her curiously.
"I have a messenge from the king. You are to report to the castle imedeatly for an audience." the messenger rode off.
"I wonder what that's about?" Medea asked Maar. he shrugged and began singing to a new crowd that has gathered.
Medea shrugged and walked to the castle. She entered and walked to the audience chamber. She entered then kneeled on one knee.
"your highness" she said, keeping her eyes on the ground.
"Medea, I want to ask a favor of you" the king said (I can't rember how to spell his name)
"Me highness?" she said, daring to look up
"yes, but first I want to ask you a few questions."
"alright"
"first, why did you sigh up to be a knight and compleat the trials?"
"because I wish to be a knight highness."
"surely this is not true, why would some female wish to become a knight?"
"it is true sir, I'm good with a sword and I love fighting, and.."
"I see you're wearing armor, where did you get it?"
"I.. I made it highness. out of old scrap metal one of my aquantances has. he is a black smith." Medea knew she would never be a knight not in a million years, why had she been so stupid?
"I see. One more thing, it says on your resume that you know magic. what type?
"elvin magic sir, syphs, and the like, and a bit of manna" She kept her eyes on one thread of the finely woven carpet
"I see. well then, here is my favor. will you accompany a small group of mercs to Valis, to give this message to King ETOH?"
"I..I'd be honored highness."
"fine then, you'll meet your group tommorow morning at the south gate."
"highness, may I ask, who will be the captain" she had moved her eyes off the floor and was now looking at one of the king's highly polished boots.
"sir Spark medea" Medea almost fell backwards Sir Spark? THE Sir Spark?
she was going to be one of the heroes of lodoss's mercs
" I thank you kindly for this great honor,and perhaps when I return, I will take up again my duties as a knight in training." she began to back out of the room
"Medea, if Spark gives me a good report, then you shall become a knight. you are desmissed." medea backed the rest of the way out of the room. Then ran to find maar. He was clearing up for the day
"Maar you'll never beleave what happened" she told him what had happened
"really? Spark? he was an old friend of mine:
" I know you sang about him in your songs."
"wow" Medea was turning her sword over in her hands. "i'd better sharpen this, or it will be too dull to fight with."
She ran home happy for her job.
okay, bad place to leave off, but....
and I know I messed up the characters a bit. and I REALLY screwed up Maar's song, but I've never done one of these before so have faith.
