The Ball
As Alanna walked back to her rooms she remembered she didn't have a dress for the ball. Suddenly she grinned, what type of mage was she if she couldn't create a dress. 10 minutes later she stepped back. In front of her was a beautiful dress. It was made out of light purple material that seemed to change colors when she moved. It had sleeves that were tight until the elbow then they flared out. Her over-skirt was slit to the bodice to reveal white underskirts (A/N go to http://www.2roads.com.au/Medievaldress2.jpg to see the dress. Imagine it in purple and silver). Over that she slipped her Black robe that showed she was a Black Robe mage. All of a sudden the bell overhead signaled 6 o'clock, there was only 20 minutes to the ball. Quickly she put on Diamond and sapphire ear bobs and necklace then ran out of her room. Halfway there she realized she forgot to do her hair. She didn't have any time to go back to her room so she pointed at her hair and it flew up into a complicated bun with two fiery curls framing her delicate face.
When she entered the waiting room for people being announced everyone turned to look at the beautiful young mage. Not liking the stares Alanna went to sit on a couch in the corner. Soon a herald came to tell her she was next. She told the herald how to announce her his eyes widened and he bowed respectively and asked, "Will anyone be escorting you milady"
"No," Alanna replied nervously. She was starting to get worried about walking down those steps. What if she tripped? When she heard the herald start announcing her she moved into place behind the curtain.
"Lady Alanna of Trebond, Youngest living master of the Mithran light, Black robe mage and currently the 2nd most powerful mage in all the lands." Alanna stepped out from behind the curtain and almost started laughing, partly because the herald was gasping for breath from announcing her title all in one breath, partly because of the ladies and men gawking at her beauty and her title. Thom looked jealous and King, Queen and everyone else look either scared or jealous. Then she saw Duke Roger of Conte.
He looked absolutely livid with rage. Then she remembered: He had been the most powerful sorcerer in the Easter lands till she came along. He caught her eye and she gave him a sweet smile. Then she felt him testing her powers. Because over the years her gift had grown dramatically she had never let down her shields guarding her gift, from people testing it, without warning them first because she was afraid what might happen. Now she let her shields down fast and Duke Roger was blown back into his chair. No one noticed though because they were still transfixed with her.
When she got to the bottom of the stairs she looked around for the person who was to escort her to the thrones. To her surprise the prince had left his place behind the king and walking to meet her half way, he held out his arm and she took it. As she curtsied to the king and Queen she saw them whispering to each other and smiling as they looked at her.
When she left the thrones Thom rushed over to her. "How come you never told me?"
"Because I wanted it to be a surprise," said Alanna grinning.
"Well everyone's certainly is surprised Alanna," said Raoul. He the prince and Gary were still staring at her and they were making her nervous. Thom noticed to and scowled. He didn't want his friends falling for his sister. He was about to open his mouth to say something when Jon asked Alanna to dance. "Of course Jon," replied Alanna. As Jon whirled Alanna around the floor he was still in awe of her beauty. "Lady Alanna," he said in a fake stuck-up voice, "you beauty surpasses a rose in bloom." Alanna blushed and laughed as Jon continued to flirt with her.
Off the dance floor a scowling Thom was sitting with Raoul and Gary. He could tell by the way Alanna was blushing and laughing the prince was flirting with her. And the king and Queen didn't have any disapproval as they were smiling as they watched their son flirt with Alanna. "What's the matter with you Thom?" asked Raoul clapping Thom on the back. "I don't like the way Jon's flirting with my sister. She's only 14."
"And a black robe mage. She can take care of herself Thom." Said Gary. "I have to get back to my serving duties," muttered Thom as he walked off.
At the end of the ball Jon pushed his way through Alanna's crowd of admirers. He walked up to the chair Alanna was sitting in and bowed. "Master Alanna would you allow me to escort you back to your rooms," Jon said ignoring the jealous stares of the other men.
Alanna smiled gratefully "Of course your Highness." She took his arm and they walked through Alanna's crowd of admirers.
A.N: HHmm that was an ok chapter. Next chapter will be more exciting I promise. The Next chapter is called dudum: Blossoming love. (I wonder who with)
