Chapter 6
Kel pulled lightly on her horses reins and stopped. She turned and watched Alianne catch up.
"Too much excercise?" Kel called teasingly.
"Oh yeah I'm getting lightheaded," Alianne laughed
"O.K. lets get going again and this time try to keep up!" Kel teased her again
"Shut up!" Alianne said.
And with that Alianne nudged her horse and galloped off. Kel spun her horse around and followed. They rode hard for two hours or so when they finally saw Corus come into view. They both slowed and stopped just to look at the city, busy and crowded below them. Kel and Alianne panted and Alianne started to ride down to the city.
"What are you doing Ali? The palace is the other way!" Kel yelled to her.
Alianne turned in her saddle and replied,"I to do something in the city, hurry up!"
Kel sighed in exsaperation and followed her down the steep sand and rock incline. Alianne reached the bottom first and waited for Kel. Kel arrived beside her and then continued on through the busy streets.
Alianne stopped at the doorway of a pub, The Dancing Dove and began to laugh. Kel glanced up to see what she found so funny. She followed Alianne's gaze and managed to gather from Ali between giggles that that horse tethered on the other side of the doorway was her father's, Baron George of Pirate's Swoop.
Alianne and Kel dismounted and walked inside the inn. Alianne's father turned to see who walked in and began to walk over. When he arrived at the two girls her swept up Alianne in a big hug. George put Alianne dow and Alianne looked behind him to see who else she knew who was here. She must have spotted someone she recognized because she smiled widely and ran over to a group of young knights and squires. she tapped a tall redhead on the shoulder andthe young knight spun around to see who the tapper was.
The boy smiled and hugged Alianne. Alianne glanced over at Kel and beckoned her over. Kel strode over to the boys and stood next to Alianne.
"Kel, this is my brother Thom," Alianne introduced Kel to the boy.
Thom turned back to his friends and then he faced Kel again.
"Pleasure to meet you, these are my friends- Nealan,Faleron,Prince Roald, Owen, and Joren.
