Chapter one

Ever since Ella could remember she had known Will she also liked him because they were alike in many ways. I remember a day many years ago when I had been high in the giant fig tree that severed as a safe house from a bully called Horace. When al a sudden will raced up the tree and was next to me and also Horace was yelling up to them you two will never be chosen for any apprenticeship. Of course it had been him ho had chased her up earlier and would know she was up here and she new it was to late to sneak into her room for some sleep but eventually hoarse left and they both sneaked into there rooms and ended up having enough sleep for the choosing. The next morning I woke up to the sound of the morning bells and quickly got dressed in my yellow special ecation dress. And hurried to break feast there every one was so un easy that even Horace didn't try to tease me or will. At that moment I remembered the dream that will's father in full armor fitting against the worgal hordes cutting them down from every direction but eventually being overwhelmed. I envied will though because like me he did not now how is parents were but on my case every one else new but I dint and could not fantasize stories on how they died. After that she realized that the barons secretary had shoed up and quickly lined up behind the other five wards. She had shoed up to the ward when she wasn't even 1 yet but one month after will had. The next thing she new they were being asked to line up by height and she saw Horace then Alyss then gorge how was half a head shorter than alyss then jenny offered for them to go infront of her but then martin the secretary was like that girl first than the other and then the boy. I touched wills arm knowing he was furious with martin and he automatically calmed down at her touch. I thought I wonder why he does that is it because he under stands me it must be. At that moment I caught a glimpse of movement thru the window but dismissed it. At that moment the craft masters shoed up Rodney the battle school master leading and close behind him Ulf the horse master then the elegant lady Pauline head of the diplomatic service then Nigel the scribe master and last but not least master Chubb the castle cook. Then I thought I saw more movement out of the window this time I looked closer but could not find anything so I just dismissed it again.
