Drunk Duck Inn



Disclaimer: If you reconize it, it's not mine. A/N: First half of chapter is about people in Corus a week before she arrives. The second half is about what happens when she meets her family (exept 4 Jon) for the first time in 3 years.



*Corus*

Eda Bell folded up the letter from her friend, Kylaia al Jmaa. She

went to give the other to the queen.

Queen Thayet was working with the Riders when she got the letter.

It read:

Your Majesty,

Your daughter is doing very well in Shang. She is beginning to

excede her teachers and she is now my apprentice. I believe

she has been feeling a bit homesick, so I am taking her back

to Corus we will arrive on the 13th of October. Meet us at the

Drunk Duck Inn on the 14th at noon. Please try to bring her bothers and sister.

Sincerely,

Kylaia al Jmaa, Shang Unicorn

Thayet hastily folded up the letter after she finished reading it. She

Would have to think up an evcuse to take the children out to the

City on that day. They were all very upset about the mysterious

Disaperence of their sister, they deserved to know the truth. She

Spent the rest of the morning thinking up a plan.

Prince Roald was talking to his new friend Chris. Chris was the

Apprentice of the Shang Dragon and was telling Roald about his

Friend, Kelly and all the pranks they used to play on the teachers.

When the Queen came in she wispered to him that there was a

Rumor about Kally being in the city next week, but not to tell any

One about it. Of course, Roald was so excited about the news

So, he told Chris.

" She's comin back!" Roald exclaimed.

"Who is?" Chris asked.

" My little sister, Kally. She ran away 3 years ago. I've heard that

she's in the city. Dont tell anyone."

" I wont my friend Kelly is gonna be here next week. Maybe you

can meet her."

" Maybe, but I might be busy. I 'll have to prevent father from

yelling at Kally too much. That'll keep me busy for a while.

Do you think I should yell at her too?"

"No, she was probably upset and not thinkin clearly. She probaly

regrets it all by now. Just neede some time to cool off."

" 3 years?"

" Maybe."

" If you say so. Well I got to go, staff practice."

" Ha Ha. Bye."

*One Week Later*



" Mama, why do Liam and I have to learn about dresses?

Only girls wear them." Prince Jasson wouldn't stop asking his

mother these questions. The three youngest children of the royal

family hadn't been told the real reason for their outting to the city,

for fear that they might tell someone. They, like everyone else

thought it was just a trip to the city to educate them about dresses. (

A/N: Ok its a little lame but I was having trouble thinkin up a

reason.)

Thayet didn't answer, instead she went into an inn called the

Drunk Duck.

In the far corner of the room, sitting under a sign portraying a tipsy

lookin duck, Kally removed her hood and waved to her family.

" Kally!!!" She was almost knocked over as her three younger

siblings ran over and hugged her.

" Hey Kally, where the hell have you been?" Roald asked as he

hugged her. She hugged her mother then answered her older

brother.

" Mother sent me to Shang," she motioned to Kylaia and

introduced her, " This is the Shang Unicorn Kylaia al Jmaa. I'm

her apprentice."

Thayet and Kylaia went outside to talk as Kally explained all

About the past three years. Roald was surprised that his sister was

The same person who had helpd Chris with all those pranks. He

mentioned it and Kally started to laugh.

" Yeah, those were some of the best times. I loved when the

teachers' faces turned all green. Hee Hee!"

She told Lianne, Liam, and Jasson all about the pranks and soon

they were all laughing. But ,then, out of the corner of her eye, she

saw Chris enter the room.

A/N: I know the characters are a bit modern. It's hard for me to write them differently, it'll probably get worse later on in the story.
