DISCLAIMER: I don't own Tortall + etc, but I do own Tenshi and Kawaii. Well... Demus came up with the name Tenshi... oh well...

Co-incidentally:

Tenshi = Amgel (in Japanese)

Kawaii = Sweet (Ditto)

Wasn't that just so enlightening?

*****

Tenshi of Kawaii was going to be the third lady knight of Tortall. Unlike Alanna, she didn't have to disguise herself as a boy, and unlike Kel, she didn't have to go on probation.

Kawaii, her home fief, was a small, uninteresting place. It had some commoners milling around, and a lord and lady, not to mention their only daughter, Tenshi.

Tenshi was of average height and slim build. She had long, wavy golden hair and sky blue eyes framed with long, luscious eyelashes that looked like those in most mascara adverts. She was one of those people who would probably end up a size 8 and a double D.

She was beautiful.

She did NOT want to be a knight.

Her parents had decided that a lady knight would be a good thing to have in the family, seeing as they were currently in fashion. And it might bring some recognition to Kawaii.

Anyway, Tenshi had been sent off to the palace and was now looking blankly around the palace. Someone had told her to go there. She was kind of uncertain of what to do.

"Tenshi of Kawaii?" a boy around her age (10) with orange-y hair, enough freckles to cover a cow with and a snub nose asked.

"Yep, that's me!" Tenshi exclaimed, glad to see that there were still boys at the palace, even if they weren't very good-looking.

"My Lord Bernard wishes to see you," the boy said, gazing adoringly at her.

"Where?" Tenshi asked, looking around blankly...again.

The boy took her to Lord Bernard, the training master, and seemed very reluctant to leave.

After he'd been sent packing by a very irate Lord Bernard, the training master of Tortall started telling her that she would gain no extra privileges due to being a girl, were to wash, etc, etc...

Francis of Tirragen, the boy she'd already met, was called back by Lord Bernard and told to take Tenshi to her room.

Francis continued to gaze at her with adoring hazel eyes.

She shut her door in his face.

Tenshi then lay down and slept. It had been a long day - travelling from Kawaii to the palace and then hanging around. She felt she'd earned the right to sleep.

So, whaddya think?

Please review! I need it!

Suggestions for names would be appreciated.

'Til next time...
