A/N I don't own Alanna and the other characters. Just the the mystery woman that was with George.
And the plot.
Chapter 4.
The next morning Alanna, Coram, and Faithful were on their way north, to Corus.
Coram didn't ask why they were heading to the city where Jonathan lived. He knew within time Alanna would tell them why.
But that didn't stop him from being surprised when Alanna said they were going to Corus.
Chapter 5.
A few hours later they walked through the gates into Corus. The city was hustling and bustling as it always was. They skillfully
rode through the crowds of people. Alanna lead them up to the Temple District and up to the
castle. Once there, the palace hostlers to their mounts and stabledthem.
As Alanna stretched from their long ride, someone very strong enveloped her into a bone-crushing hug. When she was
finally put down, she turned around to see Raoul.
"It's good to see you back!" the cheerful knight said. "we weren't expecting for a while yet."
"It was unexpected for me, too." Alanna said, suddenly very glad she came home.
"Jon will be happy." Gary said as he pulled Alanna into a big hug.
"He will?"
"Yeah, it will really cheer him up. He's about the most depressed prince anyone has ever seen."
"Why?" Alanna said, very concerned.
"No one knows. I was actually wondering if you knew something about it?" Gary said looking at her suspiciously.
"No, I don't know anything about it." Alanna lied. She thought maybe it was because of her, but she had no proof.
"We were hoping you would come back," that was Raoul speaking.
"Why?" said Alanna, wondering what he could mean.
"All us knights, new and old, want to see how well we're doing in fencing. You are the maste---mistress. Dang it! I'll never
get this straight," Raoul stated.
"You'll get it eventually," Alanna said in a comforting voice.
"Could you take me to Jon?"
"Sure." said Gary.
