Kally woke up a few hours before dawn, ready to fight. She put on a shirt and a pair of breeches and started her morning exercises. When she felt she was warmed up enough, she got her sword and went down to the practice courts.

She waited a few minutes before Alanna came out. She was so excited, she would face her childhood hero in a swordfight. Was she good enough? Or would Alanna beat her in a minute?

They agreed not to use kicks or punches, just swords. She moved to a guard position and the fight began.

Alanna's sword curved to the side and met Kally's with a ton of force. They traded parries and block, both were equal, no one got the upperhand. Kally searched for an opening but couldn't find one. She blocked, a butterfly sweep from Alanna just in time and begun a series of chops to keep Alanna's defense up. Alanna began using the crescent moon attack. Kally gritted her teeth when forced to block such a forceful move.

Kally retaliated with a swift side cut. Their blades were moving so fast, little sparks and flashes of blade were the only things the two warriors focused on. Neither had noticed the crow of servants, hostlers, and nobility that had gathered to watch the lady knight battle their princess.

Alanna's sword came out of nowhere, gracefully disarming Kally and placed at the base of her throat.

" Damn! I'll never be able to beat you Alanna!" She gasped, out of breath.

" Practice and I'll have to watch my back," Alanna said sheathing her blade.

" yea right"

They turned around and were surprised to face many people watching them, including Kally's parents.

" news sure travels fast around here" Kally murmured.

" thats for sure, and theres no way to ditch them either." Alanna muttered.

Many congratulated Kally on her fighting skills, only the most conservative stayed back and glared.

Much to her dissapointment, her following of admiring knights doubled. Sooner or later, she would be turning down offers of marriage.





A/n: ok, that was short. Im not that good at describing swordfights, maybe i'll just leave that to professionals. Next chapter is something my friend sorta came up with. If you all hate it, i'll put up a different one or maybe if some people hate it and some like it, I'll put up two chapter 12's.
