Chapter 3: Remembering
Weeks past and turned into months. Kel's Ordeal was coming up. Kel had
begun to beat the Panther more and more instead of an occasional I-beat-you-
but-it-took-me-five-minutes-to-do-it round. Being challenged, Kel even beat
the WildCat. Eda Bell congradulated her and wished her luck for her
upcoming Ordeal. The first-year girl she had taught was doing well. Better
than her. Truler Hiden realized, as he had for months, that Kel would be a
very good Shang. Her rank would reach to the immortals. She would show
everyone what girls can do.
Upon remembering her Ordeal of Shang, Kel practiced harder than ever. The day-after many weeks of hard practicing-had come when Kel would take the challenges to determine her as a Shang. She would fight one Shang per day, starting with the lowest rank, to the more deadly and advanced. She would take the rank below her winning opponents rank. As the manuscript of Shang Ordeal Rules stated, once in a great while a Shang-to-be would keep winning matches until they found themselves facing the Dragon. If they won, they became the Dragon and the previous stepped down to being the Unicorn.
The hour long ride to the Ordeal's taking-place was too much for Kel. It was quiet, which let her think-exactly what she didn't need to do. What if she didn't do well? What If she never made it to immortal rank? How could she show her face to Truler Hiden again, knowing that she let him down when she swore when she was ten that she would work hard and not let him down?
What-if thoughts filled her head. Just then, she wished desperately that her friends were there with her. Cleon to say, "Of course you can do it Kel, . O' Pearl of the Sea.
Owen to tell her it would be a jolly Ordeal/match and she would do well.
And Neal to pick her up, spin her around, and tell her she's the best.
To her shame, tears began to stream down her face. She remembered Wyldon dismissing her, Joren and his cronies laughing and making remarks, she remembered hating the King and Lord Wyldon and the whole male-overrun world. But worst of all, she remembered saying goodbye. Leaving behind her friends, Neal, Cleon, Faleron, Roald, Seaver, Esmond, Owen, Peachblossom and Lalasa had been the hardest thing she ever did. Kel had then returned to the Yamani Islands in rage, fury, betrayal, sadness, anger, and a homesickness for her rooms at the palace. Wiping away the tears, Kel realized they had arrived. Here, she would take her second steps as a Shang.
