Ok, or just before it. I get stuck in my story, so what's about a second
chapter now??
Ok starting . - while I should pack my best outfits, for the festival .
So Disclaimer, you get what you want! None of Tamora Pierce stuff is mine, none of Terry Pratchetts stuff is mine, and I will not get any money for this . maybe a few reviews ;-) but I think I could say that I own the plot .. If there would be any later on .
Daine was still sobbing in Numairs shirt, he was holding her tight, as Kitten gets exited, and starts to make loud whistles. Numair and Daine didn't even notice. Kitten changes her colour and looked very excited, as three people suddenly stood in the corner.
They looked a bit funny, one was a big guy, with red hair and an honest appearance, next to him stand a girl which seems to have a bit too much hair. Some steps away, a second woman gasped as she realized that she was in a cabin, instead of in her classroom. She had blond-white hair with one black streak. She coughed, as she realized the pair on the bed. Startled Numair and Daine parted, looking at the strangers in the corner of the small cabin. "Who are you? And why in hell are you interrupting us in this way? "Numair snapped, his cheeks coloured red with anger and shame.
The blond-white woman walked over to him, "And who are you, to speak to me, Miss Susan in this way" she snapped, even as angry as he was, but less ashamed.
Numair and Daine watched her carefully, while Kitten get in front of them and trilled, coloured in angry-red to the strangers.
Susan looked at the small dragon, "And why are you having a swamp-dragon in a wooden cabin, are you mad? This may explode every second, as angry as it is."
Daine and Numair gasped. "Explode??" they asked simultaneously, "Dragons do not explode, they are mages, and can cast fire, but they will not explode." Numair stated. "And by the way, what is a swamp-dragon, anyway."
Susan gritted her teeth. "You didn't even know about what you are carrying here? This is much too small to be a dragon. Don't you two know about the dangerous digestion? Wait, didn't you know how to feed it. Gosh it may explode right know"
Kitten's skin were getting a darker red, she was really angry now and whistling loud and with fury.Daine scolded her for being so nasty to a stranger and Kitten went grey and get into a corner.
Daine tried to explain, "Stop it, please. You are hurting her. It's all right with her digestion, and she is no swamp-dragon, what ever that means. She will grow up. She is just a baby, dragons grew slowly. I am taking care of her, since her mother died and she is normally a good girl. But she doesn't like the way you are talking of her, be careful or she might bite you."
Susan looked worried, why didn't she know something about a dead dragon and a left dragon baby, she should know, her grandfather would have told her. "Ehm, sorry, but there are no big dragons in our world, they left it some centuries ago, and the only one, which came back is gone for years, but still alive. My grandfather would have told me, if this dragon died. He would know it. But back to the real point of our conversation. Who are you? And where are we? "
Numair grinned, now the woman, was a bit confused. "May I introduce to you my student Veralidain Sarrasri, the Dragon Skysong - nicknamed Kitten, and I am Numair Salmalin. You are on a ship destined to Port Legann in Tortall."
Susan gasped, "Tortall, I do not know a country called Tortall. In which part of the discworld is it? How long will it take to go back to Ankh- Morpork?"
Now it was Numairs time to gasp "Discworld, Ankh-Morpork? I didn't know a kingdom called Ankh-Morpork, and this is not a Discworld but a round one. Just a world, not a saga. And Tortall is in the eastern lands. And who are you"
Now, the other to strangers, nearly forgotten, entered the stage. The woman introduced both of them "Hello, this is Carrot and I am Angua were from the night watch of Ankh-Morpork.
Daine shrieked, as everyone looked at her, she stammered "But you are now human, you smell like a wolf, and you appeared to me like a wolf, how can this be?" Everyone looked at Angua now. She sight"Well I think you have full moon by now, but normally I can hide it. Just other werewolves and animals can smell who I am. How can you do that?" "Well, actually , I am a Wildmage, I can change shape into an animal, I can speak to animals aloud or on mental basis, I can heal animals, and I can sense animals over a certain radius around me." Daine answered. "And to be sure, Miss Susan, he ", she pointed at Numair "is a big Mage, a Black Robe Mage, one of the most powerful Mages of the eastern world." Daine snapped at Susan.
Numair grinned, "Magelet, don't get angry. I think we should call the others and have a meeting. These are news, all of us should know. I'll ask our champion to collect the others." He started a communication spell, and the three strangers were staring at the glowing ball in his hand, which even seemed to talk in the voice of a woman. After asking Alanna, to collect the rest and come to Daines Cabin, he aborted the spell, and looked back at the strangers, which seemed to be a bit scared. He frowned. "Are there no Mages in your town? You looked as you've never seen a Mage communicating with an other Mage this way."
Susan grinned, "Well, we have Sorcerers at home, but there I thought, Sorcerer were a synonym for a fat idiot, not getting anything real at all. We have an University in Ankh-Morpork, the Unseen University, but the men there are all fat lazy, and just waiting for there next meal. They seldom use magic, and when they do, it's not really spectacular at all. And there are no women allowed at the university, there just men and they are not allowed to have- uhmm - relationships to women at all."
The others arrived. Looking with amazement at the strangers in Daines cabin. As everyone has entered the cabin, the cabin was crowded and some have to sit on the ground. Slamming the door shut, a small woman with red hair, called violet fireballs which expand and after some seconds covered every wall and opening of the small cabin.
She looked at the strangers. "We will - in a moment- speak about who you are, what you want and anything else of interest. But first let me introduce you to Gareth of Naxen, Harailt of Aililie [urgs I´m sure I spelled him wrong, but I lent my books to a friend, so I can't check], Numair Salmalin and Daine -""Alanna we have introduced ourselves already. - So this " Numair pointed to Alanna " Is our Kings Champion, Ladyknight Alanna of Pirate Swoop and Olau.- And these are Angua and Carrot guards of the nightwatch of Ankh-Morpork and Miss Susan .. uhm" "Miss Susan Sto Helit" Susan hissed.
Daine looked at Alanna "Oh and Alanna, Angua is no human, she seems to be a kind of a wolf, she talked of Werewolves and that only animals could smell the difference. Maybe she is an Immortal. "Alanna backed some steps away, and put her hand on her sword. Carrot stood up in front of Angua, to protect her.
Ok, now it's really really time for me to stop, it's getting late, and I haven't packed anything, yet. Please read and review, it's my first attempt for such a story .
