Prologue: I'm too lazy to actually write what happens while
everybody's learning everything, so you can just pretend that I did. OK?
Good. The point that we're at now is we're all trained and we understand
what we've learned. About four days have past. Got it? OK, I'll begin!
~*~
Alanna stood up and faced everybody. "I believe that all of you have learned enough!" She said. "It is time for us to go and reclaim our magic! I'm not sure but once you walk within a certain distance of the castle you MAY regain your magic. We DO NOT want you to fight with your magic though! Because whatever magic you DO have, they have at least four times more! Also, those of you with wild magic may want to call the animals out of the castle, as we may have to set it on fire."
"We're ready!" Said Samkin.
"Just say the word and we're there!" Exclaimed Caprice.
Maddy sniffed the air and began to run around in circles. Even though she had been trained to spy, she had not become any more mentally stable. "I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready-edy-edy-edy, READY!"
"OK everyone! Let's go kick some evil magic-stealing ass!" Said Liney, extremely enthusiastically.
As everyone marched along they picked up a song. "For a long time we've been marching off to battle!" Sang everyone.
"In a thundering herd we feel a lot like cattle." Said Raganas.
"Like the pounding drums, our aching bums aren't easy to ignore!" Sang Maria and Diana in unison.
"HEY! Think of instead, a girl worth fighting for!" Sang Meron, in a high, falsetto voice.
"What am I?" Asked Maddy. "Diced troll food, I suppose."
"On the contrary, love, you are fillet-minion!" Said Meron, hopelessly attempting to be romantic.
"Shut up so we can finish our song you two!" Said Kathryn.
"Bet the local girls though you were quite a charmer." Sang Olivia to Dom.
"And I'll bet the ladies love a man in armor!" Sang Gregory, happily, as if he just realized it. Liney glared at him and he whistled innocently.
"You can guess what we have missed the most since we went off to fight!" Sang Numair, Dom, Raoul, Neal and Cleon.
"Ew!" Said Anne Marie.
"What?" Asked Kaitlin.
Kate raised her eyebrows and coughed. "You know."
"NASTY!" Said Kaitlin.
"What do we want?" Sang all the guys.
"How should we know what fathoms a male's mind?" Asked Amy.
"I could make a guess!" Said Rosefyre. She then had hysterical fits of giggles. She flopped down onto the ground and continued to laugh. She had to drink about four glasses of water before she actually calmed down a little.
Kel sighed. "Can we please sing something else? If we keep singing this all of the men are bound to get all cocky."
"Why-OH!" Said Kaytee. Then she giggled like a schoolgirl.
"Never mind." Said Buri. "We're there." Buri stopped and stared up at the castle.
"It looks even bigger when you're closer up." Said Krizsta.
"Well," said Lady Light. Then she broke out into song, "let's get down to business!"
"To defeat the magic-sucking dudes!" Sang Kate.
"Are we going to stand here?" Sang Alanna.
"Or are we going to...eat foods?" Sang Olivia hopefully. "Does that make any sense? At all?"
"No," said Anne Marie. "But it rhymes."
"Please no more singing." Yelled Raganas, covering her ears. "I think I may go insane."
"Like me!" Yelled Maddy, happily. She then bounced up and down and started to chant: "Like me! Like me! Like me! Like me! Like me! Like me! Like me! Like me! Like me! Like me!"
Buri leaned over and whispered to Alanna. "Tell me once again why SHE'S one of our spies?"
"I haven't the slightest idea." Muttered Alanna.
Meron walked over and put two restraining hands on Maddy's shoulders. "Yes, like you." He said. "Now let's have a quiet contest. I bet I win!"
"NO ME!" Yelled Maddy.
"Readysetgo!" Said Amy quickly. Maddy's mouth snapped shut and Meron put one of his hands over his.
"Archers, I want you to line up here." Said Daine, pointing to a log that was about sixty yards from the castle. "Kneel, and nock your arrows."
"You may run out of arrows during the course of the battle." Said Dom. "So if you run out, come to me."
Kate, Peter and Rosefyre walked over to the log and knelt down. Peter pulled out an arrow and began to sharpen with a whetstone. Rosefyre tested her bowstring's tightness. Kate ran the plumed part of one of her arrows across her nose.
"The same goes for the slingshots." Said Amy.
"Don't shoot up at the castle walls, the stone wont make it." Said Kaytee. "Wait until the soldiers come out of the gates."
"And aim for between the eyes." Said Amy.
Olivia, Caprice and Lady Light raced to the log. Olivia tripped and fell, but got up immediately and ran the rest of the way to the log. They all spent some time looking for rocks around the log.
"Shang fighters, you may not be needed, but just incase the soldiers get behind the log, we need you." Said George. "I don't want you to even move until they, if they do, get behind the log."
"So where should we go?" Asked Marc.
"He's going to tell us stupid!" Said Kathryn.
"Well you don't have to be rude about it!" Said Marc. And then he added, as an afterthought, "BODY SLAM!"
Kathryn screamed and covered her head. Then she remembered something. "Hey pal-I'm stronger than you."
It was Marc's turn to scream. Kathryn dived on him and pulled him to the ground. Anne Marie slapped the ground three times and yelled, "The winner!"
"You four," said Cleon, pointing to Gregory, Liney, Maddy, and Meron, "Will go up to the wall and when the doors open, sneak in, hopefully un-noticed."
"Damn, that's going to be hard." Said Gregory.
"You can say that again." Said Liney.
"I don't want to!" Said Gregory.
"It a figure of speech nimwad." Said Liney. She then turned to Maddy who was looking at Gregory skeptically. "Well, he's cute right? And it's not like YOU'RE one to talk."
"Dance, fools!" Said Maddy, gleefully.
Meron yelled in triumph. "I win!" He yelled. "That means you lose!"
"Wait, what did I lose?" Asked Maddy.
"I don't remember, but you're bound to have lost something." Said Meron, shrugging.
"I need you to get into your places now!" Said Cleon, loudly. "Go to the wall! And don't make a single sound!"
Gregory, Liney, Maddy and Meron crept over to the wall debating the whole way. At one point Gregory stuck out his leg and tripped Liney, causing her to go into fiery rage and tackle him.
"Glad that's over." Muttered Krizsta.
"Too right." Said Samkin. "Maddy could yell happily all day and Meron could argue with her the whole time."
"It's a cute kind of love." Said Kel.
"Love?" Asked Diana, almost laughing. "Those two could tear each other's spleens out and not stop to apologize!"
"Anyway," started Alanna. "Will the swordfighters follow me and Kel? You all will be stationed right where the Shang fighters are."
"Nifty!" Said Maria.
"HI KATHRYN AND MARC!" Yelled Anne Marie. "WE'RE GOING TO BE STATIONED NEXT TO YOU!"
"Shut up!" Said Alanna. "I bet they heard that."
"Quickly! Spears!" Said Raoul, hurriedly. "I want you up next to the archers."
"Make sure you don't get in their way!" Said Buri. "I don't want to hear that one of our spearmen, or spearwomen, ahs been shot by one of our own archers!"
"We'll be careful." Promised Samkin as he hurried off.
"I'll watch out for them!" Said Raganas, running toward the log.
"No I will!" Yelled Krizsta. "I'm oldest!"
Numair walked forward, talking to Neal. "Perfect. Everyone's right where they should be."
"I hope that Daine got all of the animals out of the castle." Said Neal.
Just as Neal said that an arrow whizzed by his head, grazing his ear. "We've been sighted!" He yelled. "Is everybody ready for battle?"
"Yes!" Was the unanimous reply, as everyone got ready for their assigned task.
"Then let's do this right!" Yelled Numair. "Tortall for the victory!"
~*~
Oh yeah! That's the fourteenth chapter. Am I good or what? *Mumbles are heard from the background* Shut up, Cleon, nobody asked you. *More mumbles* One more word and you're in for it buster! Any way please review and tell me what you think! Also read my new story, It's Picture Day in Tortall! It's what would happen if all of the Tortallans were getting their pictures taken. I'm assuming the photographer will need serious mental therapy when he's finished.

P.S. Eve Eastborne/Galadrial Greenleaf yes, you are the Amy. Good for you. *Wild applause*
