Own/Margarry

A/N: I wasn't sure Margarry's sisters names so I just found names that I thought would fit in with this.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

1. Child

As a child Margarry's favorite thing to do was listen to her father as he retold various stories. From the battles he'd fought in, to his years training to be a page. Margarry's three sisters, Anne, Elisabeth, and Kendra had little to no interest in listening and often followed their mother around. Margarry would sit in her father's office and look up at him as he talked about anything, and she would often sit with his favorite hounds making it a complete picture. Vivenne always said that Margarry was her father's daughter.

2. Grass

Margarry was quite a healthy child. As she was growing up there was only one thing that stopped her. Grass. She had a reaction to it any time she sat in it, or touched it. Her skin would become red and itchy. It was her sister's favorite way to torment Margarry, but listening to her father's battle talks had taught her a few things about strategy.

3. Fog

The first time she went riding in fog, she got lost quite quickly. There was no way back to Cavall and Margarry did something from another one of her father's stories. She dismounted, and whistled as loud as she could. Eventually they found her because of her whistling.

4. Convent

At ten, Margarry was sent to the Convent. She wasn't sure what to expect, getting different views from each other sisters. Anne said it would be a good place for Margarry; Elisabeth thought to scare her and told her of the cruel punishments that Margarry would receive, and Kendra understanding Margarry's fear calmed her and told her exactly what she needed to know. Margarry still wasn't sure that that was where she was meant to go.

5. Home

Cavall was no longer her home. The convent was her prison. Court was nothing more then a place she was expected to live. The only place that would ever feel like home to Margarry was the stables and now at the Convent they had taken that away from her too.

6. Broken

She went home broken in spirit. Elisabeth was right; the punishment was cruel and harsh on Margarry who was not at all a delicate girl. Her spirit was the one thing that she had lost that was most precious to her.

7. Squire

When she arrived home, she was shocked to see that their father had a squire. He was a different sort of person then anyone Margarry had met and she rather liked the cherry fifteen year old boy.

8. Relearn

Margarry needed to relearn how to ride. She had lost most, if not all of her skills by not riding for a long time. Only sidesaddle, and only occasionally seeing as the Sister's didn't' think it as important a skill as dancing or sewing.

Owen needed to get more experience with Lord Wyldon's horses. He knew his own mount quite well solely from riding him often. So when Margarry needed a teacher, he knew the best way to get to know horses were to show her the basics, as it would help him become familiar with them. He knew she'd figure it all out eventually.

9. Hounds

Margarry knew each hound quite well. Owen didn't. A fair trade, Margarry thought as she taught him each hound and he taught her how to ride again. Margarry also enjoyed being with Owen. He was much better then her sisters in the long run.

10. Friendship

They spent more and more time together. Margarry valued Owen's friendship as he did hers. Lord Wyldon spent most of the mornings teaching Owen his Squire duties, and Margarry would spend most of the afternoons helping him with mathematics, the hounds, and various other things that neither Lord Wyldon nor Lady Vivenne could help him with. It was a good arrangement.

11. War

The war drove various people away from their families. When Owen and Lord Wyldon were forced to leave for war, Margarry was forced to figure out her feelings and admit whether or not Owen was just a friend or something more.

12. Bird

Margarry found a hurt bird, fallen on the ground. After her weeks of lessons with Owen they had both completed everything. Margarry was back into her former riding shape and Owen knew each hound's personality. When Margarry came flying into the kennel to find Owen she showed him the bird; it was then that Margarry and Owen did in fact, figure out their feelings for each other.

13. Leaving

When it came for Owen to leave, Margarry was unsure about what to do. They had figured out how they felt, but Owen was a squire, and she was only sixteen. Now with his leaving there was nothing to hold them together; and that worried Margarry.

14. Letters

Owen and Margarry exchanged various letters. Owen's friends begged and pleaded to know who was sending letters to Owen and Margarry's sisters teased her relentlessly about it. Both of them refused to budge in either of their positions and they both treasured the letters more then anything else in the world.

15. Homecoming

When Owen returned home, Margarry was more excited to see him then her own father. This made her feel quite guilty. So first she greeted her father, and then later she spent time with Owen in the stables.

16. Vigil

She spent the entire day before Owen's Ordeal of Knighthood with him. Then she spent the entire night waiting for him. Then Margarry sat right outside the chamber with her father as he went in, his face impassive. She already knew that she loved him, and she already knew that he loved her. It was why as she sat there, and her thoughts drifted to those few but precious moments together out in Cavall that she wished desperately that he didn't have to go through with this. Yet, it was Owen's dream and it was something she was proud of him for.

17. Test

It was a hard test; asking Lord Wyldon to let them marry. It was not only a test for them, but for Lady Vivenne who was terrified that he would say no and ruin two very happy people's lives.

18. Marriage

He said yes. They were married, in a very small quiet wedding that made both of them quite happy. Not many were invited, and Margarry was happier to keep it that way. Marriage suited Owen though, and he impressed Margarry with his maturity during the ceremony. Owen was rather like a child then an adult and he wasn't ashamed of that. It made Margarry worried on how their children would turn out.

19. Daughters or Sons

To Margarry it didn't matter whether she had daughters or sons. She didn't know what Owen would think, because her father had wanted sons and not daughters. Yet she wasn't that worried because Owen would probably be pleased with whatever happened. He was an optimistic like that.

20. Both

They had both sons and daughters. They had two sons and two daughters to be exact. Their first child was a boy named Albern, whose name meant A Noble Warrior. Owen thought it was a good name, finding it in a book and quite liked the meaning. Their second child was a girl named Levina, whose name meant Bright Flash and Margarry named her. Then they had the last two, Edwina who was the second to youngest followed by Joshua. Margarry couldn't ask for any other children although Levina seemed to inherit Owen's optimistic attitude.

A/N: And these are Margarry/Owen. My next is defiantly going to be Roald/Shinko. Albern and Levina are real names, their old English Names which is why I used them. I figured that they would fit in best with these and I liked the meanings. Owen/Margarry is an interesting pairing, seeing as my idea on Margarry is someone much more sensible then Owen.
