"Ow!" cried Sandry as she fell to the ground with a thud.
Daja gave a small cry when she hit the ground quite close to Sandry
Tris shrieked when she fell
Briar yelled
Niko just got up and dusted himself off
Just as the other mages were getting up they were hit by many falling suitcases, they screamed some well chosen words before glaring at Niko who was smirking, he wasn't hit by any stray suitcases.
"Couldn't you have been more careful with the spell?" Tris hissed at Niko as they scrambled to pick up their bags.
"Oh hush," said Niko straitening out his clothes "We're here aren't we? Look there's the castle."
The four young mages wheeled around and stared at the huge castle
"That's where we're staying?" Daja asked incredulously
"Yes." Niko grinned
"Its much bigger than Uncle's." Sandry added
"Well are we going to stare at it all day?" Briar said hotly, he was hot and hungry and stick of just standing around when they could be getting closer to where food was.
Tris giggled, "You're always hungry."
The girls and Niko continued to stare
"Fine. I'm going then!" Briar yelled with a leap forward "I bet they'll feed me." He grumbled
"Oh I suppose we should go too." Daja said following Briar
"Quite right." Said Niko and they all headed for the castle.
*
Kel, Neal, Cleon, and Faleron were leaning up against the palace gates. It was terribly hot and they had a hard time staying awake. Neal was just nodding off when Cleon shouted, much to his annoyance.
"They're here! Look guys! Neal wake up! They're here!" He was jumping up and down smiling. Kel would have rolled her eyes if she wasn't just as excited. Cleon started to run at them but Faleron grabbed his shirt.
"Do you want them to think we're idiots?" he said shaking his head slightly, "I'm sure you have the patience to wait five more minutes." Cleon pretended to cry and the rest of them laughed. Cleon perked up instantly.
"Oh fine. I'll try the 'I don't want you' approach." He said coolly and leaned against the gates, head turned to the left but his eyes were trying to look at the mages coming right in front of him.
Kel snorted at this "Yes, that's so convincing."
Faleron batted his eyelashes at Kel and said in a high girly voice "Oh far away mange, pearl of my desire! I love you sooooo much but I don't want you!" he then made kissing noises and winked suggestively. He and Kel doubled over with laughter. Neal chuckled a little, he was kind of mad at Faleron for acting like that towards Kel. Cleon blushed and said,
"Hey! I don't sound like that!" this caused everyone to laugh harder
"You all seem like a happy bunch." Said Niko smiling at the four friends, three of which were still laughing and one who was extremely red.
Kel immediately ceased giggling and turned toward the senior mage with a little bow "Hello, I'm Keladry of Mindelan. Welcome to Tortall." *I can't believe this important person saw us laughing like complete idiots.*
The others followed suit "Cleon of Kennan, at your service." *Where are the girls? There were supposed to be girls...*
"Neal of Queenscove. Happy to help." *Could I sound more like a pansy?*
"Faleron of King's Reach. Very pleased to have you in our kingdom Sir mange." *Is this the boy mage? Ha! Boy? If he's a boy then I must not be born yet. Honestly what is keeping this man alive?*
"Niklaren Goldeye, its wonderful to meet you all." Said Niko, with a deep bow
Just then Briar, Sandry, Tris, and Daja came stalking up to the gates, obviously fighting in mind-speak, they were glaring at each other.
'You did it on purpose didn't you? Just to humiliate me!' Sandry said accusingly
'Oh of course, put me through years of emotional scars just to see you naked!' Briar shot back with heavy sarcasm
'I had clothes on!' she reminded him, though flushing a deep scarlet
'Didn't you two vow not to talk about this?' Daja put in
'Shut up!' Sandry and Briar snapped in unison and then exchanged mutual looks of hatred
'Honestly,' Tris shook her head 'Can't you just get along for once?'
'Yes,' Daja agreed 'Kiss and make up.' Tris looked a bit startled at this suggestion, Sandry and Briar both jumped for Daja, they wanted blood. "I was kidding!" she said aloud scrambling to get away
"Ahem." The mages froze and turned to Niko. He motioned to the four knights and the mages turned and tried in vain to dust off and fix their disheveled clothing. Niko then turned to the knights "You must excuse them. They have the ability to mind-speak to one another and they often forget that everyone else cannot hear them. They have been getting better about it, though when they slip up its quite annoying."
The mages suddenly took interest in their shoes. Niko sighed. "Do I have to introduce you too?" he said, the annoyance clear in his voice
Sandry lifted her head and smiled "I'm Sandrilene fa Toren, lovely to meet you all." She dropped a most elegant curtsey and beamed at the knights, three of which were drooling.
'So, there are other men who wish to see you in you undergarments.' Briar said slyly. Sandry rose and walked back over to the group. Giving Briar a very hard kick in his shin.
"You'll have to get used to Briar here." Sandry said to the knights "He is a very rude little boy, but don't worry he has been house trained." The knights all stifled giggles and the other girls laughed out loud. Sandry flashed a smug look at the beat red Briar who scowled. He stormed past the knights and into the castle.
"But you don't know where your room is!" Kel called after him, politely as possible
"I'll find it fine." He growled over his shoulder
"Would you like to go to your room Lady Sandrilene?" Faleron asked with a smile
"Oh don't call me that," Sandry said coolly "I much prefer Sandry."
Cleon glared at Faleron and then turned to the other two girls. He kind of liked the dark one. "Would you give me the pleasure of showing you to your room, my lady?" he asked with a graceful sweeping arm movement.
"Don't lady me. The name's Daja." She looked at his shocked expression with an air of displeasure "And I don't want any crap poetry of yours either. Isn't that what you people do over here? Do you have a metal shop? Blacksmith? I'd rather see that."
"Um, I, well yes but I think you should settle in first."
"Fine." She said with a flick of her hand "Led the way."
Neal sighed *That Sandry is something. She's beautiful and smart,* he looked at Daja *and polite, she's perfect. And Faleron took her, of course. Lucky bastard. Now I'm stuck with the fat chick.* he put on a smile and held out his arm
"Would you like to come also, my lady?" he asked sweetly
Tris blushed "Yes. That'd be nice. And my name is Tris."
*Lovely,* thought Neal *that's bloody lovely. Have I really angered the gods this much?*
A/N- And that's the end of this chapter. So now you think I've screwed up the whole plot line cuz everyone loves Sandry and Neal is being mean to Tris and he hasn't mentioned Kel practically at all. Well you know what I say to that? I say its my plot and I can do what I want with it! That's right I could kill everyone off in the next chapter and there NOTHING you could do about it. Oh I have power. But of course, since I want people to read this everything is gonna be ok…I think. Hey I might get really mad and kill someone off but I might not. That's the beauty of being a fanfiction author. So if you think I fucked up well that's your opinion. So go ahead. Tell me about it. Review! And I love you all! Oh I do.
Autumn Brown- Lol yea that's what I'm planning on doing. That's all anyone cares about ne way :)
Rokjai- Thanks! I will!
Kilikina Rose- Well I'm glad someone thinks I'm funny! And don't worry theres more of that type of thing coming.
ACK- I just wanna say I love your name, its great! Lol yes Neal is random. I am random. This is not the end of random things. Oh no.
Lady Rosethorn- Glad you liked it :)
T'Girl- Awesome man. I'll do that.
Lady Knight of Kennan- Lol thanks! Oh I have plans for the girls. Big plans *cackles evily*
Wazzup Girl- Lazy people rule the world. I am one of these people. Thanks! Death threats are always welcome. I gives me something to be paranoid about.
Angela macleod- Um…thanks. I'll do that.
Saturn's hikari- Lol. Oh but I went and switched stuff around on ya. Tricky eh?
Tropicalfrost86- Yes! Bow down to me!! I know I'm cool. You tell me all the time. And I nod and say I know. Its an endless cycle.
Bluedragongirl- Thanks! I will have some kind of a plot but expect it to come and go as it pleases. I have no control over it.
White Lady- I missed you!! Hey, it happens to the best of us. Thanks!
