Chapter 2 ~
That day as she walked through the woods she would stop and admire the animals, plants, and contraptions she found in Galla's woods. She watched as the dull dimness of night faded into the shimmering mist of a Spring morning. Farther away she heard a stream trickle away to join a river that would soon join an ocean. She saw squirrels scurry to their hiding places as she walked through their home. She listened to the daily bird chatter up above in the canopy. She thought about her plans a she walked. She knew that the journey she wanted to take was dangerous and long. She also knew that to get to Corus she would have to go through Goldenlake and Naxen silently so as not to be fond. She also knew that ahead of her were mountains and from tales that had been told monsters, but she shook that thought out of her head she had heard of worse things before. And they couldn't be as bad as the human monsters. ~
~ She stopped and listened harder. She heard a movement under the willow tree that was a few yards in front of her. She looked around her for a place to hide. She was in a clearing surrounded by bushes and trees. Quietly she led her pony over to a shady tree. The stranger under the tree heard the pony's hooves. "Hello" said a strong voice. "Is anybody there I'm unarmed and I'm prone." She took a few moments to think about what to do. Then she finally made the decision to take a look at the fellow. She walked silently over to a patch of fern branches that would hide her from view. She peaked trough the branches and looked to the base of the willow tree. He was shaded from view but she was able to tell he was unarmed. Judging but his now tired voice she could tell that there was a very good chance that he was prone as well. The young man looked over to the fern cluster. "Who's there" he said in a squeaky voice. ~
~ Elizabeth stepped out from behind her fern cluster and walked under the long willow drapes. The stranger stared her over. From her deer skin breeches to her hair she was perfect. Her build was good. And she had on a tunic with a holster that carried a sword and two daggers in it. He looked at her ounce more. He saw two glints of silver coming from her boots. So he thought she also has two daggers in her boots. He kept looking at her. Elizabeth stood still as the stranger surveyed her, and as he did so she looked him over as well. He looked about 11 the same age as her, he had a strong build. He had brown hair and deep blue eyes. He looked as if he could've come from a noble family but judging by the clothes and the state the clothes were in he was anything but. He got up slowly clearly in a lot of pain. She offered him a helping hand which he took. When he had finished getting up she surveyed him ounce more. He, in fact, was injured pretty badly. He had a deep gash on his side, a black eye and a few other bruises on his face. He leaned against the tree for balance. "Good afternoon m' lady. I am Daniel of Whitechapel." She looked him in the eye as he came up from a attempt bow. That's odd she thought practicing manners in the woods. She laughed the thought away inside of her head. "Nice to meet you, Sir Daniel I am Elizabeth of Whitestock." "I'm honored to meet you and please just call me Daniel." "And I Elizabeth." "So Elizabeth may I ask you what you are doing in the woods that border our home Galla?" Elizabeth looked down. She hadn't expected to meet anyone who would ask her, for her tale. She sighed deeply oh might as well tell someone to bleed off the poison. She launched into her tale still staring at her feet, but the memory's brought hot tears into her eyes. She finally looked up finished with her story and saw a lookof concern on her new friends face. In a flat voice he said "and may I ask where you are going Elizabeth." My short out flat return was "Tortall." ~
Disclaimer: It was not the longest shortest or most enjoyable chapter keep reading I will post more. I have never been one to finish stories, but if you wanna know what happens review and I will have reason. You guys are the soul purpose for writing. Actually it's also for fun but those of you who have seen IceDragon26's and mine glee clubs you know us as insane so you never know/ Actually that just made no sense so you can make it mean w/e you want it to mean. Anyways R&R Luv Ya TTYL (talk to you later (for those who don't know what it means))
