Disclaimer: I own none of the characters and all the wonderful setting is down to the genius that is Tamora Pierce. There done it, and I shall not do it again!!!
The Road To Corus
A short slender girl of around fifteen stood shaking, a crumpled letter still clutched in her hand. Sister Diana placed a comforting arm around Alanna's shoulders
'It won't be that bad my dear, I'm sure he is a lovely boy, Tirregan's a very respected household'.
Alanna looked up into sister Diana's worried face and started to cry. Sister Diana had been her only true confident over the last four years and now she wouldn't even have her.
"but....but Diana I don't want to marry, I want to be my own woman, this Alex boy is the palace bully according to Thom" sobbed Alanna.
"I know my dear, I know" mumbled sister Diana hugging Alanna close.
The journey to Corus was very uneventful, which suited Alanna perfectly. It was bad enough that she had to marry a man she didn't know but to have arrived in a dirty dress would have been unbearable. When she stepped out of the carriage she was overjoyed to see her twin brother Thom running over to her, she had expected him to be away with his knight master. "Thom!" she exclaimed, before embracing him in a hug. Alanna noticed that Thom had bulked out since she had last seen him and wondered if he had kept his magic up as well as weapons training. At around the same time, Thom felt the daggers that his sister had so wonderfully concealed from sight.
Thom laughed, Alanna's head shot up
"What's so funny?" Alanna's cheeks went pink as Thom undid her hidden daggers from her wrists and waved them in front of her nose,
"This!" Over her slight embarrassment Alanna gave him a look of mock horror and said
"And there I was, trying to act like a proper noble lady!"
Thom snorted and replied,
"I'm afraid dear sister that at heart you will never be a proper noble lady"
"Just like you dear brother, will never be a proper knight".
Faking a look of disgust Thom said
"I'll have you know I have become a very good squire to a very important knight",
"Oh, and who might that be?" Alanna asked, intrigued.
"Sir Myles Of Olau" Alanna snorted,
"Isn't he a desk knight?"
"yes but he is the best there is!" Alanna roared with laughter while Thom grinned and said
"its good to see you again sis, let me escort you to you room"
Thom offered an arm, which Alanna graciously accepted and led her up the palace stairs.
