the plot so please don't sue me.
Kel looked at her daughter in mere perplexity, why did Alanna want to go to Shang she thought that she wanted to become a knight just like she had. " Sweet why do you want to go to Shang when you can be a great warrior and go train as a knight." Alanna sighed and answered, " I want to be free I don't want to serve under any crown I want to roam the world, knights don't do that anymore , besides if anyone takes my weapon away I won't be helpless." "But it will be years of hard ,hard training and there is a great possibility that you won't be able to train Shang hardly never takes noble girls." Kel retorted. "I know all that I thought it over before I told you ,I'm good at fighting Mama just like you. I just want to be a different kind of warrior."
Kel found it very impressive that her six year old could reason to her like this and that she could have such ambitious ideas at such a young age. But then again Shang would be good for Alanna she was full of energy and never liked to stay in the same place for too long. Alanna also didn't like to be with people much, she was cool mysterious and well liked to be alone. Kel had no doubt that her daughter would make it in the Shang cut she was extremely well trained with the glaive, bow and hand to hand combat. But Alanna was so young it would all be much easier if she went to the palace as a page when she turned ten. "Dom what do you think about this." Kel asked it was all to much for her just this moment. Dom looked at his wife she had her Yamani stone face on. Which she wore when she wanted to keep all feelings out, but in this case they spoke as clearly as ever Kel did not want Alanna to go to Shang though he knew that she would support her no matter what her decision might be. Finally he spoke' " It will be hard Alanna, Shang training is harder than a knights and lasts longer but, if you really want to do it we can't stop you so its your decision." Alanna smiled so big that her long face became peach round and her eyes became slits of pleasure. "I really want to do this I won't let you down. Thank you so much you don't know what this means to me." Kel spoke, her voice emotionless "The Shang Horse can see if you can handle the training we will go to Corus in a week I only hope you won't be sorry."
Alanna could hardly contain her glee if she were in the Yamani Islands they would consider her a failure. She skipped out of the breakfast room singing. After she left Dom asked Kel. " Why don't you want Alanna to go to Shang its not like she'll stop fighting in fact that's the only thing she will be doing for about the next 10 years." Kel put on an innocent face " Who says I don't want Alanna to go to Shang." "No one I just know you don't." Kel looked at him she figured out long ago that there was no use in lying to Dom he would find out anyway. " Its just that well ,she's so young I know it might not seem like it but she is and what if something happens to her, well I won't be there besides I thought she had wanted to be a knight." "Don't worry Kel it will all right Shang will be good for Alanna you'll see."
