Hidden Identities
Author's Note: Hi! My name is Aurora Yuy! And I love reading Tamora Pierce books. They are really cool! Well this is my first Tamora Pierce fic and I hope you like it! ^_^ I would like to know what you think about this fic and give me comments please. Oh yeah.This fic would have some action stuff (Just fighting, not like bloody wars with complete descriptions of decapitated heads or open wounds to the arm or stuff. Just like physical fights between the characters) but there would be romance coming along (I'm not really sure about the romance but I might).So keep on waiting.^_^
Disclaimer: I do not own Tamora Pierce, I don't own the plots, I don't own the characters unfortunately *sighs.and I don't own anything at all.You know the rest.Can't be bothering writing it all.
Oh yeah! Be warned! My grammar and punctuation is really bad. I'm not really doing well in English, sorry!
So Read and Enjoy!! ^__^
Prologue - This story takes place when Lord Wyldon didn't permit Keladry of Mindelan to enter her second year as page. So Keladry went off and disappear. Never to be seen or heard from again. But war is brewing between Tortall and the other bordering countries. What would happen?
Chapter One - Fateful Day
A girl who was considered tall for her age approached the Palace training master's door. She had dreamy hazel eyes with long lashes accompanying it. Her delicate nose was sprinkled with freckles and her light brown hair fell short before her earlobes. Even though her face showed no emotion for she was wearing her common Yamani mask. Fear anxiety and anticipation filled her blood. Her hand trembled to open the door, with one encouraging long breath; she entered the room where her destiny would begin.
As Keladry of Mindelan entered into Lord Wyldon's room, she anticipated the many situations that could happen in that room. But the most frightening and common situation that she thought was that Lord Wyldon did not approve of Kel's abilities in her knight training. She had overcame many obstacles and gone though the severe training just to become a knight. Unfortunately there was only one person who would make all the events during her probationary year meaningless.
LORD WYLDON.
He was a handsome man but looks didn't matter. He had been hard on her all year. He criticised her more than he criticised the boys. It was unfair to be treated like that instead of being treated like the rest of the boys. But there was a chance that he could have changed his opinion on girls wanting to be knights. She might be able to come back next year to complete her knight training. It was only that little spark of hope that encouraged Kel to walk more confidently.
She entered the room quietly and saw her training master looking out the window that showed the flickering lights of the rose garden. Kel knew that he hadn't heard her enter the room. So she spoke to attract his attention. "You sent for me, my lord." Lord Wyldon sighed and turned, "Sit down, girl." Kel hesitated, then sat. (A/N: As you may have noticed I have used bits and pieces for the books. So don't sue me for my lack of creativity.) "You are here to know of the outcome of my decision. I have thought this carefully and I have decided that you will not be permitted to come back as a second year page." His words were serious and clear. Kel's dream shattered into little pieces as Lord Wyldon finished saying his decision. 'All this hard work for nothing. I made friends for nothing. And all this dreaming for nothing!' She angrily thought. 'I prove that I'm worth something, something more valuable than the Dominion Jewel!' She will not give in and so she decided not to show her emotions, she put on her Yamani mask and stared at Lord Wyldon. But she didn't know that her eyes were filled with anger, hatred and disbelief. But there was something that she saw in her training master face, there was something hiding from the satisfied face. 'Could it be regret? Could it be.NO! It can't be. He's a conservative. He would never allow me to stay; he never liked me from the start. Why would he accept her now?' "As you wish, my lord." She stood up from her chair and bowed her last bow to her training master and swiftly turned around to never look back.
As Lord Wyldon heard the door shut and the footsteps became softer. He let out a sad sigh. 'What had he done? Did he do the right thing? He never had seen so much hatred and sadness in somebody eyes. No, he did the right thing. He would not accept changes. This kingdom has been through many changes and it should stop.' His mind was filled with many thoughts and questions.
As he looked out the window again, a well-known star had appeared in the night sky but its usual brightness had disappeared. In its place was a dull looking light. It was like it was fading away from the skies. But Lord Wyldon didn't notice it for his mind was elsewhere. For destiny was taking its place and that the star would return with such brightness, when a certain somebody would come back and do her duty.
"I hope to never see this place ever again! I will not go through something that I will not get anything in the end. I will prove myself." Keladry said confidently to herself as she packed her belongings and said her last good- byes to her sparrows. "Good bye my little friends, I hope to see you again soaring through the heavens. Don't ever forget me." She whispered to them. Tears were beginning to form in her eyes, as she patted every sparrow heads. Her crystal liked tears slowly flowed down her face onto the sparrows. Their chirping sounded like encouragement but Kel didn't know. Her mind was all clouded and she couldn't think anything properly what was happening in the outside world. She opened the door and looked into her room for the very last time and carefully locked the door. Hoping that this wasn't real but unfortunately hoping didn't make it real. So she sighed and walked down the corridor.
~~~*~~~
Neal was hoping to say his farewells to his best friend just before she actually left the palace. He was quite frustrated towards his training master. He knew that Kel did as well any boy could have ever done. She was one of the best in the first years in staff fighting and she had strengths and calmness that was needed for a Knight of the Realm. And yet the Stump saw no reasons for her to reach her destiny as a Lady Knight, which was purely unfair and unbelievable. He had no reason to get rid of his grudge at the Stump but he knew that the King saw him as a worthy training master and believed that Kel wasn't up for the upcoming years according to the Stumps expectations and standards. 'So what he saved the Prince and the Princess? Father says he is very loyal and important to the Kingdom. But.But.But. I won't be able to do anything that could change this outcome', he thought and sighed with defeat. As he got his thoughts together, he remembered that he had to farewell Kel before she left.
He walked down the corridor (A/N: which was only a short distance because Kel's and his room is just a few doors away) and stopped at Kel's room and knocked. But Kel wasn't opening the door or saying any response. 'Was she really that upset?' He thought. He knocked once more and no answer came. 'Wait.Maybe she already left? I spent too much time thinking. Oh no!' He thought again with panic.
He immediately dashed down the halls trying to find Keladry, but with no success. He stopped to compose himself from the running and when he gazed out the window something caught his eyes going out the palace front gates. There was a brown-haired person riding with their shoulders hunched on a horse leading out of the gates. That only meant one thing.it was Kel. She was leaving already, not even waiting for him to say anything. "KEL!" He screamed out the window. His hair all disheveled and his eyes were filled with despair. (A/N: And no this is not a Kel/Neal fic. I'm sorry if it's leading there but it's not unfortunately.)
But the figure wasn't able to hear this loud cry from her best friend. For her mind was occupied with negative thoughts and also with despair. Kel knew better to carry on such nonsense over this page training. So she decided to prove the ones who thought she was not worthy of being a knight wrong. Her slumped shoulders now filled with a new purpose and energy raised high and proudly. And her face held high with a smile of revenge.
To Be Continued.
A/N: So what did you think? Was it good enough? Do you think the chapter is long enough??? Please review it and can I please have no flames. It would be very nice. OK, since I read one of my reviewers thought if you like it, why don't you write a review!!! I don't really care if you don't have an account, just review it!!! I'm sorry if this is not what you expected. I hope to update it soon! ^_^ So R&R!!!
