Alanna jumped up from her chair and grabbed jons collar. "what do you mean?" she asked very slowly but very excited at the same time.

"well…technically you still could train as a knight, using your original plan well sort of, escept well thom you'd still be stuck here."jon answered

"really? Oh god I would do nearly anything! To be a knight, oh my god. Please tell me how!" alanna cried.

"Uh yeah jon what is exactly your plan, because I'm sure we're all willing to help alanna but I'm stumped"raoul said, while george gary and thom nodded in agreement.

"mithros, you people are slow, it's simple, alanna you have the gift all you have to do is cast an illusion spell to change the color of your eyes and then well you could be alan of…somewhere? Sorry that's as far as I got in my little plan." Jon said shrugging.

"Is that a wise idea?" an unknown voice from the doorway said. Thom and his friends wipped around. In the doorway stood the boys history teacher Sir myles of Olau.

"uh sir Myles…what are you doing here…uh we were uh…how much did you here?"thom stuttered.

"uh not much just that you plan to help your sister mascarade as a boy in order to become a knight, about time there another female knight too, oh yes I'm just here for a drink, but if you need help I'm always available" with a smile myles walked over and sat down at the bar.

"who was that" alanna asked sounding slightly distressed.

"that would be are history teacher sir myles of Olau, he's very well different, hes really nice, history has got to be the over all favorite class just because he teaches it" thom told her.

"He's also a very good drinking partner, he comes down here a lot." George added.

"He won't tell?" after received an answer of heads shaking she continued, "ok so I could change my eye colour, and I could cut my hair, and well I already know basic fighting so I won't be that far behind, but oh no, where do I come from, we need somewhere where we know someone incharge who is willing to help"she said.

"that would be a problem."gary said
