I don't own anything here that belongs even vaguely to Tamora Pierce.
The Collision
Chapter 1~A rough ride
Sandry sat down in a bench in one of the many ships her great uncle, Duke Vedris owned. Duke Vedris had just died, leaving Sandry to become the ruler of Emelan. I'm too young to
to be a ruler, she thought. Briar came and sat down next to her.
"Thinking about him?" he asked softly.
She nodded and tears ran down her face. She was sad but also a little puzzled.
This past week, Briar had been more sympathetic to her than his usual rough-and-tumble
ways. "But I don't want to be a ruler," Sandry yelled inside. "I want to stay a mage!" But
she kept her feelings inside her. It was her duty to look after Emelan and her uncle's wish for her to take up the position when he died.
"Do you really want to be a ruler?" Briar asked after awhile.
She looked up, surprised at how easily he picked up her thoughts. "No," she admitted softly. "But it was my uncle's desire."
"Why can't they pick someone else? Isn't there anyone closer in relative to him?"
Sandry shook her head. Just then the boat crashed and everyone flew backwards. Briar ins
tinctively tried to protect Sandry from crashing into the back of the ship but they both
crashed anyway. "Are you alright?" Briar asked her, offering his hand to help her up.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but what did we crash into?" Sandry wondered.
"I don't know, but why don't we find out?". They walked over to where Niko and the Captain
were talking. "What happened?" Briar asked Niko.
"We don't know, lad," the sea captain stated. "We just..........hit something," Tris was
looking out to sea, her eyes closed. Sandry and Briar knew she was probing the sea with her
magic. They patiently waited for her verdict. At last she opened her eyes."We hit some sort of barrier, a magical one, which i can't get through," her eyes were worried.
"C'mon, let's get something to eat, I don't mind a little nibble," Briar started to say, when suddenly, a blue bubble surrounded the ship, closing in until they could see no more.
So how was that for a first chapter? It's pretty short, I know, but it's just the beginning. I'll try and get Chapter 2 up soon. :) Don't forget to
review! I love receiving them!
