"Neal! Where going to be late!" yelled Keladry of Mindelin, Neal's best friend and only Lady Squire in the kingdom.

"I'm coming,"Neal walked out of his room. "I heard that The Lioness is coming to court today" stated Neal.

Kel couldn't believe what she was hearing, The Lioness, King's Champion, THE Lady Knight was coming to court, for the past four years she had refused to come because the king had forbid her to help the first girl who wished to become a knight.

"Oh, so the Lump can smile," said Joren as he walked by.

" And the dog can talk." Replied Kel. Kel and Joren stared at each other, then Joren walked away.

"Haha," she said laughed sarcastically.

Kel snapped her head toward the doorway as Myles continued with a chuckle " Alanna you may come in now."

Alanna walked in with a smile on her face" Hello, I'm pleased to meet you, and I hope I will have the pleasure of getting to know some of you better, but tos
