Chapter 1.
Jasmine was sitting on the palace wall. From here she could see the whole city of Del. She saw the carts being pulled by horses, women gossiping and children running around on the streets. Jasmine looked back at the palace. It was so huge that it's shadow nearly cover the whole city is the early light. Leif had decided to stay at the palace with Sharn and Barda. Even Ranesh and Marilyn decided to stay there as well. Jasmine was living with her father, Doom, at the forge and Josef, the old librarian was living with them also. After staying with them she realised that no of them knew how to cook. Jasmine skilfully jumped down from the wall and started to walk back down to the forge. By the time she got there the streets were full and she would often receive admiring stares from passing people. Jasmine, as well as Leif and Barda, were heroes to the people of Deltora. The three of them had recovered the Belt of Deltora and had defeated the Shadow Lord, freeing the slaves of Deltora and bringing freedom to people. "Ah, Lady Jasmine. I have a message for you from Lady Marilyn. She wants you to meet her at the palace at noon." Josef said to Jasmine poking his head up from the books that surrounded him. "It's just Jasmine! Not Lady Jasmine! Thank-you anyway, where's my father?" Jasmine asked. "He went with Barda, Leif and Ranesh. A sword match I believe." Josef said. Just as Josef finished Filli scattered. "Filli there you are! What about Kree?" She looked out of the window looking from the black raven. A familiar chuckle came through the air as Kree flew through the window and onto Jasmine's shoulder. "JASMINE!" Marilyn came into the forge yelling. "I thought we were to meet at noon?" Jasmine asked in surprise. "We were, but for this matter we have to meet right now!" Marilyn said. "Because?" "There is to be a banquet tomorrow evening, which means we have to ourselves ready. What gowns our we going to wear?!" Marilyn exclaimed.
This is just what I need, gowns and a banquet. Although Jasmine never had any complaints in going to banquets or balls but it was just that it wasn't her. She had been to about a million of those with Leif already but then again the were not as bad with Leif. Jasmine blushed, Marilyn was staring at her. "So do want to go to the dress makers now? I'm sure they will have our gowns ready in a couple of hours." Marilyn said still staring at Jasmine. "Fine.its going to be so fun." Jasmine said sarcastically. Kree flew away with a click from his beak and Filli moved over to Josef. Marilyn grabbed Jasmine's hand and dragged her down to the street to the dress makers shop. A woman came up to them. "Lady Jasmine, Lady Marilyn, so you have heard about the banquet tomorrow?" The woman said to them bowing. "Of course!" Marilyn said. The woman began designing their gowns. She took their measurements and asked for colour schemes. Marilyn choose a shimmering turquoise colour and Jasmine, or Marilyn choose for her, a blood red colour. "I have the best make-up for that colour." Marilyn said about Jasmine's choice of colour. After half of the day, the gowns were finished. Jasmine's was low cut and sleeveless, which made Jasmine blush. When Jasmine had finally arrived back at the forge it was dark and she suspected that her father was probably in already. "How was your day?" Doom gruffly said to Jasmine as she came in. "I spent the day with Marilyn. How about you?" She asked her father. "Barda defeated me at swords, but he was sliced from Leif." Doom said. "I think I'll pass on dinner and go straight bed, Good Night." "Good idea." Doom replied. Jasmine put her dress down and went to her room and fell onto her bed. Going to the dressmakers is hard, especially with Marilyn.
