Disclaimer : Dont own a thing.R&R. Remember 35 reviews.
Alanna descended from the stairs feeling extremely happy because
of the night she spent with George.
Alanna arrived at the bottom of the long,flightless stairs.Her eyes opened
wide as she saw the handsomely decorated palace walls. There was wine
on golden circular tables with candles hanging at every corner of the
room making the smooth marble walls of the palace gleam.
She was invited to a ball in honor of the Knights from Tusaine. She was
wearing her same black robe and wig.She didnt feel like dancing at all
espeacially not with the prince or Gary,though she was sure they would
not want her to dance with them...It seemed that the prince already found
a partner with dark black hair that gleamed. She was known as Delia.It wasn't
like Alanna cared or did she?
She wondered around and sat down on a silver chair next to a drunk man
with a strong alcoholic breath. She sat and introduced herself to him. He was
called Myles-Myles of Olau and was a full knight. How Alanna wished she was
a knight like him.
A tap on her shoulder interuped her thoughts. She turned around and came
face to face with a floppy sandy,blond haired man with pale blue eyes.
He asked her to dance with him. Alanna secretely wanted to say no but as
if Myles read her mind he said a full knight has to pay attention to
their subjects.Alanna heard and accepted the dance offer.She felt herself
being lead to the dance floor .Soon she was doing a waltz.Alanna politely asked
for his name and a sandy voice replied it was Ralon. Alanna nodded and kept
quiet.
She heard the music stop after what felt like An hour.She felt strange as
Ralon led her into a corner.
"What do you want"Alanna gasped in a dry voice.
"This"Ralon replied as he leaned to kiss Alanna.
Alanna panicked. What was she to do?
Suddenly a loud voice of a male erupted from the crowd making Ralon turn
Around . Alanna saw her chance as she slipped away and sat back down next
to Myles her face flushed. She watched Ralon scream as he turned around
and found out she was gone. She didnt care and turned her head toward the male
speaker who was now center of attention. The speaker was talking directly
to the prince. He was huge.
" ha u call your knights knights". "they are so weak I can beat
them single handedly".
Alanna turned to watch the prince's reaction. Alanna saw that he struggled
to keep calm. She hated to see her friend in pain.Suddenly an idea
hit her. What if she fought the knight (known as Dain of Melor) and won? She would
be respected and other endless possibilities.
She walked quietly to the prince and ask him if she could fight Dain. THe
prince considered for a long time and finally agreed.He went up and stood
on a table and made the announcement. Alanna blushed
as the whole ballroom gasped when they heard the speech.
Suddenly a voice full of laugher replied"Im not gonna fight her". It was Dain.
The prince narrowed his eyes and said"Are you afraid". His voice almost
dared Dain to fight with Alanna.
Dain turned red and replied "NO,Im just afraid she wont last". The Tusaine
knights snickered while the prince kept cool. Alanna admired his calmness.
"Fine the battle will start in 30 Minutes.Now I will dismiss You 2 for
preparations for the battle".said Jon.
Alanna left and prepared . She pushed the thoughts that she might lose to the full
knight aside .
***************************************************************************************
A horn rang annoucing the start of the battle. Alanna was surprised how time went by
so fast.She and Dain stood in combat position.Alanna had Thunder in her hands. Thunder's
crystal handle glared.Dain had a long and pointed sword.A whistle rang to annouce the
official start of the battle.
Alanna watched Dain give a powerful thrust as she ducked.A lock of her hair fell to
the ground. Dain snickered.He launched again.This time Alanna received a deep gash on her
side. She remembered Liam teaching her to tire her opponent first then attacking.
She noticed that Dain was tiring as sweat poured down his head.His breath was
shallow.
Alanna saw her chance and launched. She surprised Dain and made a gash on his
shoulder. Dain toppled backwards and fell on his bottom with a thump.He dropped
his sword. Alanna saw her chance and put her foot on Dain's chin and tilted it.
"So what do you think of Tortall now"she asked coldly while returning
his sword. Dain flushed and ran to his side with the Tusaine knights.
Alanna gleamed as everyone cheered her.She remembered her gash.Suddenly
the room spinned. She saw Jon run to her and fell into darkness.
