Hey guys! This is Chapter 2!
Thanks to MerlinEmrys22 for commenting.
In answer to your question; Elissa was made a lady when Gwen became Queen... If that makes sense.
Here I give you chapter 2!
"My lady." Kitty smiles. "Breakfast."
She places a tray on my bed side table. I open my eyes and sit up.
"Oh thank you Kitty. This looks lovely." I say.
Kitty nods and begins finding my clothes for today. As I eat Kitty tells me various things about the castle. I'm intrigued about the fights and she explains the Kings hunting parties and regular fighting events.
I finish the food and get up. Kitty hands me my clothes. She's picked out some white trousers and a sky blue top with a flower patten on. "Brings out your eyes." She smiles.
I change and leave. Kitty bids me goodbye and starts cleaning my room.
I walk down the corridors, my boots clicking on the floor. I run down the stairs and to the stables. I thank the stable boy and sadle Orto. I jump on her back and trott out of the court.
Orto takes me round the town and out onto a wide field. A sign on the gate tells me this is a free field for horse riding so we gallop around. Jumping over falled logs and small streams. Orto slows down and stops by the fence. I look around to find the training grounds beside us and the knights 'hard' at work. I sigh and Orto whinnies. I slid off her back.
"Alright girl. Go on then." I smile and Orto bolts off. She'll come back when she's done.
I lean on the fence and watch the knights. It's pretty basic but useful things. Leon throws a knife in my direction and it embeds in the tree beside me. The knights don't seem to notice I'm here so I pull the knife out and throw it at the archery target. I get a dead centre and the knights look around confused.
Elyan spots me first and laughs. He says something to the others who look at me. They walk over to me smiling.
"Well, Cousin. Still as sharp as ever." Elyan laughs. I jump over the fence and hug him. "You bet." I grin.
"You got your sword you?" He laughs. I nod and pull my sword out from its concealed case on my belt. Leon looks shocked.
"Elyan. As much as I respect your knowledge of your Cousin. Is fighting her going to be helpful?" Leon says.
"Ah relax Leon." Gwaine smirks. "If Elyan wants to fight her, it will be his fault when he hurts her."
Oh, so that's how it is. I think. Ok Gwaine. Watch this.
Elyan pulls his sword out and we circle eachother. Then comes a flury of movement and I find myself blocking Elyan's attacks. Gwaine laughs and something flutters inside me. I swing my sword round Elyan's and send it flying from his hand. I catch it expertly in my left hand and point my swords at the other knights.
"Next."
It just so happens, in around ten minutes,I manage to steal Gwaine's sword and add it to the pile of the other swords. The knights stand in a line, weapon less and looking slightly concerned.
"You were saying Sir Gwaine? Sir Leon?" I say, and they look down at their feet.
A small cough behind me makes me jump.
King Arthur is standing behind me, sword pointing at my chest.
"Alright Elissa. You want a real challenge?" He grins, twirling his sword in his hand.
"You bet your royal life I do." I grin and we start. I have to admit. He's amazing. It takes him two minutes to flip my sword from my hand and catch it
"Well, princess. You defeated girl power easily." Gwaine laughs. Arthur glares and him and I take the opportunity.
I kick the tip of the swords and they fly out Arthur's grip. I catch them and point one at him and one at Gwaine.
"Thank you Gwaine. Your distractions are incredibly usefull." I smirk.
Gwaine opens his mouth to say something but a whinny cuts him off.
Orto rears up and I dash over. I leap onto her back easily.
"Thank you for your challenge, Arthur. Sirs. " I grin and ride off. Out the field and back to the stables.
I throw myself onto my bed laughing.
Kitty looks bemused and I explain. She ends up laughing to and we sit and laugh together.
"The look on Arthur's face was priceless." I grin. "He looked just like a rabbit surrounded by flames. Except not so cute!"
"You must be really good." Kitty says.
"Not many manage to beat King Arthur. Even if they were really trying!"
Someone knocks on the door and pushes it open.
Merlin stands in the door, his neckerchief loosly dangling from his neck, his face bruised,
"Merlin! What happened?" Kitty gasps, rushing to his side.
"Gwaine, beer and a table leg." Merlin smiles weakly. "He's not to happy that he was beaten in a sword fight. Won't tell me who."
Kitty and I exchange looks before looking back at Merlin.
"What?" He says. "Don't look at each other like that! It's creepy... Oh!" He sighs, putting pieces together."Elissa! You didn't!"
I nod and his mouth forms in an 'O'.
"I bet all the knights and Arthur too." I grin.
"Wow..." Merlin says. "What was Arthur's face like?" He laughs.
"like a rabbit caught in flames." I grin.
"But not as cute!" Kitty finishes.
Thanks for reading Chapter Two!
I know it's shorter but I promise chapter 3 will be longer!
