Chapter 1 - I just want to be a Knight.
"I just want to be a knight." Celandine whispered harshly through clenched teeth. Beneath long, black lashes, her ice blue eyes were furious.
"Have you ever thought about our reputation?" said a richly clad man. This was Celandine's father, Lord Pavel of Lithenwood.
"Reputation? Reputation!?" Celandine cried, "Father, you're so caught up in titles, you forget what is important! Like the defense of Tortall and it's people. Please let me train to become a knight." She added a little more quietly.
"We already have people defending us. Why risk yourself, when others can do the work?" Lord Pavel said in a lazy voice, flourishing a hand dripping with gold rings and jewels.
"Father!" Celandine screamed in rage, "I hate you! I hate you! I HATE YOU!" she tried to storm out of the room, but her Father gripped her wrist.
"Celandine! Your behavior is atrocious! I have no choice but to send you to the Convent. Go and pack your bags." He shouted
"No!" Celandine said in cold defiance.
"Pack your bags now!" Lord Pavel screamed, his face turning purple in his fury. Celandine stopped struggling, and stared into her father's eyes with such pure hatred, that he almost shivered beneath his daughter's icy stare, and then she stormed from the room, slamming the door behind her.
