For once my slowness in updating is not my fault! Ha! I was unable to get onto Fanfiction.Net because our internet was being stupid. But it's all fixed now! And I thank you all for your wonderful well-over 65 reviews!! *sheds a tear* thank you, thank you...*sobs* :)
Schoooooooooool's out, for the summer! Schoooooooooooool's out forever!
The Secret Comes Out...
Now it was Alanna's heart's turn to flicker in her chest.
Her hands became clammy and she could feel the sweat coursing down the sides of her head, getting dangerously near her eyes.
"Wh-What did you say?" Alanna asked trying to cover up anything she might have revealed.
"I think you'd best tell her magelet." Numair said with a sigh, walking over to Alanna and guiding her away from the door.
He then turned around and closed it, making sure that he locked it in the process.
Daine swallowed hard and looked at the floor, trying to gather her thoughts.
"We know who you really are." She said at last.
"We know that you are really a girl and that your real name is Alanna. We know what you are trying to accomplish by disguising yourself as a boy."
"How?" It was the only word Alanna could manage to get out at this point.
"Ummm...Numair?" Daine turned to look at Numair, unsure of what to say.
Her eyes pleaded for guidance.
Those eyes that looked so deeply into his soul and stirrd emotions he had not known he had had before he met her.
Eyes that could make him completely lose himself.
Numair had not forgotten what had just gone on unfinished between them moments earlier.
Numair shook himself from his reverie.
Numair sighed a small sigh to himself.
One part of Daine he loved was how she could still have insecurities about herself after all she had done.
It just went to show how modest she was.
"Well, that's an interesting story. We know who you really are because...well we're from the future. The future Tortall that is. We aren't from Tyra as I think many have guessed. My name is Numair Salmalin and I am the only black robed mage of Tortall. This is Daine, she is Tortall's, and the world's, only wildmage. I was performing an experiment and us getting sucked into the past was the end result."
Numair bit his lip slightly, waiting for Alanna's reaction to this explanation.
"I don't believe you." This was the exact reaction Numair expected.
"I don't expect you to, but it is the truth. Ask us, or perhaps you should use your magic to see if we are lying. I think by now you should have that ability."
Alanna eyed these visitors, not at all trusting them
How could they have figured out her secret? It was impossible...Unless...Could they be telling the truth? Alanna wondered to herself.
She decided it couldn't hurt to atleast test to see if they were lying.
Alanna reached inside herself for her ball of magic.
She concentrated until she was able to perform the spell necessary for identifying truths and falasies.
"We are from the future Tortall." Numair repeated, seeing through his magic that she had the spell set up.
Alanna breathed in deeply.
There had been no flare of magic.
They were telling the truth.
Alanna sat down hard on the floor, fighting a faint.
This can't be happening! she thought, while trying to keep her grip on the reality around her.
