Note: I used a scene from the book and I made Rawia up.

Memories

A few days had gone past, including a ball or two, and Alanna was sitting sulkily next to her brother in the library.

Ralon had been sent some where by the king, so that had stifled many of Alanna's plans, much to her despair.

Looking down at her feet, Alanna let her mind wander back to the tavern she found the king of thieves in. It was quite dusty, but some of the people seemed quite nice. Maybe she should go back there again, it would be a bit of an adventure than being stuck in the palace all the time.

"Hmm?" she muttered, realizing that she was being spoken to.

"I said, do you know who the first commander in the army that fought Totall in the war of Rawia?" Thom asked while tapping his quill gently on the desk.

Alanna looked up at him and raised an eyebrow. "Surely you should know that Thom."

"Battle history goes in one ear and out the other," Thom told her and shook his head in dismay. "One of the few things I can't remember."

"Well it was Joseph of…" she started.

"Oh yes, that's right!" Thom cut in. "How stupid of me to forget him!"

Alanna nodded, not really paying attention. The last lady knight fought in that battle. In all her days in the convent, there wasn't a day were Alanna would not wish, that Thom had said yes to what she had preposed that day. It could have changed her life forever if he had just said that little word, 'yes'…

"You should have been Alanna. They always teach the girls magic–… Thom that's it!"

"What's it?" He asked suspiciously.

"You can go to the convent, the Daughters of the Goddess are the who train young boys in magic remember? When you're older, they'll send you to the priests. And I'll go to the palace and learn to be a knight!" Alanna told him quietly making sure that no one heard her. (Pg 2 from ALANNA the first adventure {a bit rearranged})

"That's crazy!"

"It'll work Thom- all we need to do is…"

"No way Alanna. It'll never work, and I'm not willing to take that risk, you will be hanged if anyone found out."

"But it will work, I'll cut my hair, we are practically the same, everyone says so…"

"I said no Alanna."

"But you could be able to become a sorcerer…"

"No and that's final!"…

When she was young she thought she could never forgive him for not letting her try, but as the years went by, she found the idea quite stupid, but still, she would have done it, and still would if it meant she could follow her dream.

Short chapter, but it is leading up to other things, it is also written differently, I think everyone is getting sick with the relationship stuff all the time, so I'm adding other stuff in so that's why I writing it differently and writing smaller chapters and every thing. They'll go back to normal soon. School has been busy lately too, so I haven't been able to update as much as I would have liked.

Sorry about it and all.

I'm also running out of names for chapters, so bear with me.
