So here's the first chapter, and now we have some characters (woot)
Speaking of characters, in the name Nifind both the i's are short (like in wind) so if you find yourself saying knee, knife or find well... you're doing it wrong

Rin walked the long hall to where the queen sat. As she very seldom was around of lot of light, the brightly lit space was making her feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it; not in front of the queen.
She got done on one knee and bowed before her queen "How may I serve you your majesty?"
"Ahh Rinfia, you came. Our scouts have delivered word that the world is peaceful once again. With his guard down, now would be the best time to strike our enemy," the queen was trying to sound calm and wise, but Rin could tell that she was excited, "I want you to form a team and capture him. We've already gathered lots of information on him and his allies. I trust your judgement on who you think would suit the job best."
"You're too kind, your majesty."
"However, I do have one suggestion, a weapons expert," the queen gave Rin a look that was immediately understood.
"Your majesty, you couldn't possibly mean my sister?"
"I thought that was the obvious choice, she is a true prodigy. I'm not going to waste one of my top fighters."
"But, she's only a child, you c…"
"Do you dare disobey me? If I say your sister goes, she goes," the calm façade had been lost, the queen's voice showed nothing but anger.
"Yes your majesty, I'm truly sorry for ever questioning your judgement."
"Of course you are. Now run along to your briefing. By the way, this mission is to be entirely confidential. Nobody outside of your team should know where you or going or what you are doing. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes your majesty."
"Good."
It took a few moments for Rin's eyes to adjust to dim light of the street. She couldn't help but share in the queen's excitement, Rin would be able to bring her people's greatest enemy into custody by her own hand, and, of course, nobody was better for the job. She would become famous, the name Rinfia Fudor would go down in history. Her thoughts on her walk home were all along that line. It was when she got home that her train of thought changed drastically. Nifind was in the yard, practicing her archery. She let an arrow fly, it shot through the air and landed dead centre. Rin hadn't expected any different, but Nifind looked a little disappointed.
"Hey Nif, nice shot," Rin called.
Her face immediately brightened, "Rin, you're home!" she ran towards Rin and gave her a big hug, "How was your visit with the queen?"
"Umm… there's something I need to talk to you about, will you come inside with me?"
Nifind put her hand on Rin's shoulder, "What's wrong?"
"Just… just come inside, I'll tell you."
Rin started to get angry at the queen when she saw Nifind take in the news. Why did she have to go on this mission? She was barely fifteen, and she wasn't the only weapons specialist around, by a long shot. Rin wondered if she was thinking the same thing. She was kind of frozen, not really looking at anything.
"I'll keep you safe, I promise. I wouldn't let my cute little sister get hurt out there," Rin tried to sound confident.
"Thanks it's just…"
"You don't know why the queen wants you? Yeah, that's the same thing I was thinking."
"Rin, I…"
"For the record, I told the queen you weren't old enough."
"Thanks Rin," but Nifind didn't seem consoled, she still was staring off into space.
"Well, I've gotta go now, teams don't form themselves."
"…"
"Bye Nif, I love you."
So, I know I said that this chapter would be longer, I and know it still isn't very long, but the other ones should be at least a bit longer.
So please leave your questions, comments and critiques in a comment.
