Authors Note: I kinda reread my story and decided I didn't know the age of
the prince. So I decided to say that he's 29, therefor when he did indeed
have a child he would have been around 19 or 20. Oh and in answer to your
question Keita, I couldn't say in exactly how long but I can say Anthony's
grandparents are Roalds and Shinkos kids. Whoever they may be. So about 3
generations worth. Well yeh. Sorry if this ones not as good as the last.I'm
having guy problems and it's(I refuse to say ITS name) stealing my talent.
Disclaimer: *Jumps up and down and screams* I got Lady knight. So HA HA HA!!yeh I guess that's not part of the disclaimer.this is though. To make it simple I own anything you have not read or seen before in TP's books belong to me.
I liked this story Hope you did too If indeed you do Please read and review (That was good, huh?)
Chapter Two/2/too/to/deux/(French)/Dos (Spanish)/Due (Italian) (Those are the languages I know or am taking... Must get 2841 word or more.1153
All the Important people of Tortall stood or sat around the huge table. "Your Majesty, the troops are requesting more people. The one's we have out there will not survive without them. And don't you thinks its time to let the royal banner fly?" Said Aden, Second in command of the Kings Own. Ragelin, or Rage as most people now called her for her temper, snorted. The occupants all looked at her and she looked down and muttered a sorry. The king spoke this time. "Fine. We shall send some green knights out. They need battle practice. Plus my son and I will go along and fight. Perhaps your right about the banner." Rage's eyes flared and she looked up. "Absolutely not! You are getting to old to go and fight in some war. Father, you can go, but he can not. And anyway it is not at all smart sending both of you out there. If both were to die who would be Head of Tortall then?" This got them. None of the residents of Tortall wanted Rage as a Queen, not yet at least. "Rage---" started the king but Rage interrupted him. "NO!No! and once again just to make sure you heard, no" The king shook his head. "You heard her then Aden. Anthony will go." Aden nodded "Very good your majesty." The King looked around the room. "All's well then?" He addressed everyone but his eyes were on Rage. Everyone nodded. "You may be dismissed then." Rage ran out of the room as quick as she could in search of her friends.
Walking through a hall she called the Fire hall, Though the reason of the name is a whole other story, She wondered where her friends were, then walked to the wall and hit her head. "Hell? Anyone in there?" She knew perfectly well where they would be. The Practice Courts. She walked as fast as she could to them and sure enough. They were all standing around watching Andavar of Knoll and Chase of Kings Reach fence. "Who do you think?" Said Becky, her only female friend who was not a knight-in- training. Her other friends said a quick hello before turning back to the fight. Rage watched them a while longer. "Andy. Her going to win. I would have said Chase but look, His leg is totally ruined at the moment. And look at his face, he's in pain." Two weeks ago Chase had been at the war. Somehow, he won't say how to anyone but the king, he got in a fight with a Stormwing. The Stormwing had tore his leg up, and ripped muscle. Plus he now had three scratches that looked like a cat's mark on his left cheek. He had been sent home to heal. Becky looked at the two and then nodded. "That's what Kyro said." And sure enough Anadaver made a quick sweep of his sword, surprising Chase, who stumbled and fell. Andy put his sword to Chase's throat and grinned. "You lose." The audience, that included Rage, clapped as they approached them. Chase limped over and grinned at Rage. "So how'd it go? Whatz gonna happen?" Rage held her head high and sniffed a perfect imitation of the court ladies. "If you won't talk like a gentleman they I won't talk to you at all." Chase bowed, took her hand and kissed it. "My apologies lady. I did not know that such beautiful ladies like you were such good archers" Rage smirked and pushed him. He fell and landed on his leg and winced. "Oh, 'm sorry, I didn't see you there." Chase, even though he was in pain, grinned. "Can you help me up? Somebody?" Andy put his hand over Chase's leg and red magic flowed. "It won't do much. That Stormwing seemed to have made sure you felt the pain. But it won't hurt as much." Chase stood up and thanked him. "At least someone cares." Andy raised an eyebrow. "Who every said anything about caring, I must practice my magic on somebody. And if something went wrong and you exploded I doubt any one would miss you." Chase lifted his hands. "I give up. If I knew you would all be ganging up on me I would have giving up a long time ago. Mithros" They all laughed and Rage shook her head. "Come on. I came to see if you" She frowned, thinking of a word. "Imbeciles want to go and eat lunch?" Andy, Chase, Kyro and their forgotten male friend Mikal, all raised their hands. Becky and Kyro's twin, Kyra, laughed and both muttered something about males and their eating habits. Rage shook her head again and started walking to the dinning hall, Andy on one side and Chase on another. "I feel like a prisoner." She commented when they reached the huge room. Chase laughed while Andy grinned. They got in line and grabbed trays. "So none of you guys are going to the war are you?" Asked Rage in a soft voice, scared that they might have to since they were all squires. "Care about us that much, eh?" "I'm serious, Chase." "Sorry" Rage nodded to him then looked behind her, "So?" By that time they were all walking toward their usual table. Kyro and Kyra shook their heads no, followed by the rest of them. Rage sighed, thankfully none were leaving; at least not yet, though she did not show it. Instead she groaned "Does that mean I'm stuck with for the rest of war?" Chase laughed and opened his mouth to say something but Mikal was quicker. "You mean were stuck with you." Rage grinned at him, though not for what he thought. She loved his voice. Mikal had one of those deep sexy voices with one of those oh my god let's faint accents. Even his sister had admitted he had the perfect guy voice. He wasted it though by rarely talking. They all sat down at the table. Andy on her right, Chase on her left, Kyro across from her, Kyra on his right and Becky on his Left and Mikal next to Becky. It was same seating arrangement they had since first meeting. The squires and pages head instructor, Lord Drew of Qweenscove, stood up and said a quick blessing. It was then that Kyro noticed something odd about today's lunch. "That's strange." Rage looked at him, as did his twin. "What is?" Asked Kyra, her voice confused. "If we have special foods it usually at night. But here we are eating well for once and it's during Lunch." They all looked down at their food and stared at it. "He has a point" Said Chase, thoughtfully. He grinned and then dug in. "I'm not gonna waste it though. I mean I want that blueberry pie" His blue-gray eyes flickered to the pie in front of him. Kyro nodded and slowly started to eat too, the rest soon followed his example.
Chase was just finishing what he called a gift from the gods when Lord Drew stood up again. All the lunchtime chatter stopped as the room fell silent. "If you haven't notice, as you should have, you are eating finer food then you usually do. The fact is that a few of our squires will be leaving to join the war. When I call you're names please come here. You can join your friends to say goodbye after." He read name after name after name. And let me tell you, it was way more then a few. It seemed like he was droning on; at least it did till he said three names that made Rage jump. "Kyro and Kyra of Rootport, Mikal of Ozzborne (bet you can't guess where I got that from.)" Rage looked accusingly at her three friends. "I thought you said you were leaving?" Kyra, for all she was a shy one, shrugged. "I guess milord has other plans." She stood up and Mikal and Kyro followed her. Rage bit her lip, what if something happened to them? What if they got hurt, or kidnapped? The same throats kept going through her mind. Chase watched her with interest. "I'm hurt," he said. Becky and Rage starred at him. "What do you mean?" "I don't believe you ever cared that much about me when I left." Rage's eyes turned to icy silver. "I can't believe you! They're leaving and might die and all you say is that I didn't care as much for you as for them! How would you know? And even if I didn't its your fault I think this way. If you'd come home nice and healthy instead of looking like shit then I'd be perfectly fine!" with that she grabbed her tray, shoved into a maids hands and stormed out. Her table wasn't the only one staring at the door curiously. Becky shook her head at him and ran to follow rage. Chase looked at Andy, the last person they're beside himself. "Sometimes its best if we males keep our mouths shut. And just for the record when Ragelin heard you had been attacked by the Stormwing and half dead, she cried herself silly." He shrugged and left too. Chase ran a hand through his brown hair and then put his head in hands. "Mithros, why?"
Down in the Archery range, Rage had a bow and 5 arrows. She needed something to take her anger out on and archery was one of her best skills. She strung the bow and shot, missing the target completely and instead hit the tree. She tried again and at least got on the outer blue, next she shot inner red, and then outer red. With one more arrow she strung her bow and was ready to shoot when a voice said. "I'll give you a gold noble if you miss the target" Confused, Rage unstrung and looked at Andy, who was just leaning against the tree, his brown eyes shinning. "Wait. That's not how bets go" Andy chuckled. "As the wise person once said, "To do the same old thing every day gets way to boring way to fast." Rage raised an eyebrow. "I never heard that before. Who was that wise person?" Andy grinned, reveling very white teeth, "Me." Rage laughed. "But that's not the point. The point for you to hit the target." Rage smiled at him and stung the bow. "You're on" I'm not going to lose a gold noble to some crazy idiot who calls himself my wise friend. She aimed the bow, squinted her eye, and then shot. The Arrow landed dead center. She smirked at him and held at hand, then stopped, her brain finally clicking with what he said. "No wonder all the pages love you when you teach. You make strange bets." Andy laughed and gave her a noble. "Now can you do that 5 more times. If so I'll be happy." Rage nodded, "Only if you get the arrows." "That I shall do" and indeed got them. He gave them to her and she took them. She got each one on the bull's eye. "Happy now?" Her voice wary and her anger long forgotten. "Delighted" "Good." Rage put the bow away as Andy did the same with the arrows. "So tell me oh great and wise Andavar, what shall the future hold next?" Andy smiled at her hopefully. "That you and Chase talk. You can't stay mad forever." Rage frowned at him. "And why not?" Andy sat down on a bench and told her to sit next to him. She did so and looked at him, awaiting an explanation. "You two have been friends forever. Think of this way, if it weren't for him you wouldn't know any of the Misfits" Rage grinned at the name that their teachers had giving them for their pranks. "You might know Becky but that's a possibility. If it weren't for him where would Sugarcane be now?" Sugarcane, Her thoroughbred, had been about to be sold to be made into food, Expect Chase had a say and she was allowed to keep him. "And lets not forget the who said it was his fault and not yours for the great experiment in Fire Hall that gave it its name?" Rage's eyes had become extremely watery. "He didn't have to say I didn't care. I mean when he left it was just one of us and I didn't think anything of it. I mean I worried every night and sometimes cried myself to sleep when I thought of him. But then I got a message that he was half dead and he might not make it. I was so worried. I almost ran away just to go see him." Andy slung an arm around her shoulders. "I told him that. I think he did his own thinking and I did mine. And I was thinking you two should make up." Rage hugged him fiercely, and Andy hugged her back. "Thanks Andy." He grinned at her. "No problem." Andy watched her go through the arches to the squires' rooms when her voice drifted back to him. "Fire Hall was his fault." Andy laughed hard, almost choking.
Ragelin stood in front of Chase's door. Wondering if she should go in. She then lifted her hand and knocked. Chase answered the door. He had no shirt on and his hair was sticking up at everyone. "What happened to you?" She said without thinking, hoping there was no girl in his room. "You try to working out in your stuffy room when it's like 120 in there." Rage nodded in understanding, then looked at him. "Can I come in?" Chase opened the door wide and let her in. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say what I did. You know I'm a huge Joker." Rage nodded again. "I know I guess I was kinda mad that they were leaving. I mean really, what if something happens to them?" Chase shook his head. "Sometimes a good imagination is a bad one." She looked at him and smiled. He gave her a puppy dog look. "You forgive me then?" She looked to be in though for a moment before nodding, grinning wildly. He smiled back. "Come on then. Andy wants to see us." Chase slipped on a tunic. They then trotted out of the room and passed a few rooms. Chase knocked and Andy's voice answered. "Come in!" They opened it and walked in. Andy was leaned over a desk, writing, not even paying attention to who came in. He then stopped writing and looked at them. "Oh Good its you two. Are you friends again?" Rage nodded while Chase spoke. "Yes, we did mother. Thanks for asking." Sarcastic as ever. Andy grinned at them and slung an arm over both their shoulders. "You see, my children. When you go and act like babies its my duty to make things well again, unless you want a beating from the evil Lord Drew" They both shook their head, you could tell they were very sure of that no. "good" With that they walked out and went of search of their friends. They were in luck though. Kyro, Kyra and Mikal had come up the stairs while they were going down. "We haft to pack" Muttered Kyro, looking like he wanted to kill something. Rage looked at him, concern wide in her eyes. "Something wrong Kyro?" "Yea. I don't want to go!" He snarled at her. Kyra looked at him, a scowl on her face. "Hush Kyro. Like any of us wanted to go." They all went to The Twins room first, seeing as they shared one. Mikal, Rage, Chase and Andy watched as the two scurried around the room, packing weapons, clothes and keepsakes. Not a single word was said, as they were all lost in their thoughts. As soon as the twins were done they all went to Mikal's room, who packed the same exact things. They then all walked to the stables, still not talking. The stables were packed with Knights, Squires, Mages, Ladies and so on. They good-byes started here it seemed. Rage went over to first to Kyra and held her hand palm up. Kyra smiled and put her hands on Rage's. They both whispered the ancient words of luck. "Just like the moon, you will disappear but will come back again in a while" Kyra then threw her arms around Rage and hugged her, Rage hugged back just as much. "I'll see you again soon." Kyra stepped back and nodded then turned to say good bye to others. Rage then looked at Kyro and just hugged him. "Come back safely ok? And Take of Kyra. I'll miss you" He hugged her back, his blue eyes bright. "And I you." With that Rage walked to Mikal. She looked him over. "You ready?" she asked. He nodded his face grinning. "Don't I get a hug?" He pouted and she laughed and hugged him fiercely. "Come back in once piece. And not like Chase over there." He nodded again, "I'll do my best." He then mounted his horse and went to join the line. Rage walked to where Andy was just standing. "You better go say goodbye to your father. He looks very dejected." Rage laughed and punched him the shoulder; he just grinned at her. She walked away laughing but then stopped and looked up. Sure enough Anthony was watching her. He opened his arms and she ran into them. Giving him the biggest hug yet. "I'll miss you so much, papa." He hugged her tighter. "I'll miss you too." She stepped back and wiped her eyes. He kissed her forehead. "I made sure Stanton stayed here to take care of you." Rage laughed. "Papa I am not a little girl any more." "No you may not be. You're still the princess. Now I better be going." With that he hugged her again, mounted his horse and rode to the rest of the troops. "Order in the stables. Will all participants please get on your horse. We will be leaving soon." Rage looked at the tall man who yelled it and then went over to Andy and Chase. Chase hugged her, as did Andy. "They'll be back, Lin. I Promise" The use of her old nickname made more tears fall down. Chase looked at Andy and Andy looked at Chase. "Let's take her to her room. She should rest for a little bit." They supported her on both sides and walked her to her room. When they got to her room they were going to go in with her but she insisted she was fine. "Go to bed. Understand?" Said Andy. She grinned in spite of herself "yes mother." At that the door closed and nothing else to be said. Both boys walked back to their own rooms. Rage took off her breeches and blouse and slipped into a nightdress. Even though she hadn't even had dinner yet she had decided to skip it and just go to bed. She did just that, and cried herself to sleep.

When you go and act like babies its my duty to make things well again, unless you want a beating from the evil Lord Drew" They both shook their head, you could tell they were very sure of that no. "good" With that they walked out and went of search of their friends. They were in luck though. Kyro, Kyra and Mikal had come up the stairs while they were going down. "We haft to pack" Muttered Kyro, looking like he wanted to kill something. Rage looked at him, concern wide in her eyes. "Something wrong Kyro?" "Yea. I don't want to go!" He snarled at her. Kyra looked at him, a scowl on her face. "Hush Kyro. Like any of us wanted to go." They all went to The Twins room first, seeing as they shared one. Mikal, Rage, Chase and Andy watched as the two scurried around the room, packing weapons, clothes and keepsakes. Not a single word was said, as they were all lost in their thoughts. As soon as the twins were done they all went to Mikal's room, who packed the same exact things. They then all walked to the stables, still not talking. The stables were packed with Knights, Squires, Mages, Ladies and so on. They good-byes started here it seemed. Rage went over to first to Kyra and held her hand palm up. Kyra smiled and put her hands on Rage's. They both whispered the ancient words of luck. "Just like the moon, you will disappear but will come back again in a while" Kyra then threw her arms around Rage and hugged her, Rage hugged back just as much. "I'll see you again soon." Kyra stepped back and nodded then turned to say good bye to others. Rage then looked at Kyro and just hugged him. "Come back safely ok? And Take of Kyra. I'll miss you" He hugged her back, his blue eyes bright. "And I you." With that Rage walked to Mikal. She looked him over. "You ready?" she asked. He nodded his face grinning. "Don't I get a hug?" He pouted and she laughed and hugged him fiercely. "Come back in once piece. And not like Chase over there." He nodded again, "I'll do my best." He then mounted his horse and went to join the line. Rage walked to where Andy was just standing. "You better go say goodbye to your father. He looks very dejected." Rage laughed and punched him the shoulder; he just grinned at her. She walked away laughing but then stopped and looked up. Sure enough Anthony was watching her. He opened his arms and she ran into them. Giving him the biggest hug yet. "I'll miss you so much, papa." He hugged her tighter. "I'll miss you too." She stepped back and wiped her eyes. He kissed her forehead. "I made sure Stanton stayed here to take care of you." Rage laughed. "Papa I am not a little girl any more." "No you may not be. You're still the princess. Now I better be going." With that he hugged her again, mounted his horse and rode to the rest of the troops. "Order in the stables. Will all participants please get on your horse. We will be leaving soon." Rage looked at the tall man who yelled it and then went over to Andy and Chase. Chase hugged her, as did Andy. "They'll be back, Lin. I Promise" The use of her old nickname made more tears fall down. Chase looked at Andy and Andy looked at Chase. "Let's take her to her room. She should rest for a little bit." They supported her on both sides and walked her to her room. When they got to her room they were going to go in with her but she insisted she was fine. "Go to bed. Understand?" Said Andy. She grinned in spite of herself "yes mother." At that the door closed and nothing else to be said. Both boys walked back to their own rooms. Rage took off her breeches and blouse and slipped into a nightdress. Even though she hadn't even had dinner yet she had decided to skip it and just go to bed. She did just that, and cried herself to sleep.
