Left to my own. I armed myself, after dressing of course. Then went down the stairs to the common room, it silenced the moment I walked into the room. I expected this and ignored it, and made my way to the kitchens. I could feel there stares on my back I was tempted to turn around and yell what in Gods name are you staring at but didn't. and people say I have no self control.
I entered the kitchen and my stomach growled a welcome to the delightful sight before my eyes. Food, glorious food! It's like I haven't eaten in months. The cook pushed me into a chair and placed a platter of in front of me, I dug in gratefully. I finished what seemed to be about a tone of food. Once finished I decided to explore the compound. I quickly found the practice courts, and just as quickly was about to offend half the people in it and arrange a duel with the Shang Frog.
We faced off; I assumed the guard position and him a similar stance. The match ended quickly, I beat him, not terribly easily but it was pretty easy. I asked him if he could teach me fighting, the unarmed kind, he accepted graciously and I was off exploring again.
I bumped into, and I mean literally bump into, Author later on and we began to talk. I asked how far his hospitality spread and then if he could not mention my presence to Gorge. He agreed but was suspicious. I was tiered after the fight and didn't feel like exploring any more so I went up to my new rooms and fell asleep instantly. I woke up sometime later and felt better then I had in a long while.
Life with the Rogues of Scanra was always fun and adventurous. They stopped insulting me at every turn once they learned I could beat them all in any fighting style, the exception as always was wresting. But I was improving greatly under the Frogs expert hangs. I could now beat beginners, oh yeah! Life was perfect, I reflected on my other life only when extremely bored and I am ever really bored here.
It all changed, thou, one sunny afternoon. I was in the practice courts like always, when Author walked in covered in blood. I ran quickly to his aid but when I fetched the healers it was too late, he was already too far gone. He's dying words were "Be the Rogue.. cough... Alanna." So now I was head rogue and my life was thrown in chaos once again.
Luckily none of my people objected to my being there leader and Steady sword, said he never wanted to be king. I was left with the title. So I did what I normally do when faced with a challenge, become really stubborn and go on with my life and that's exactly what I did I took it all in stride.
Authors note: I know what you're thinking this is so Alanna-ieee but I couldn't think of another twist and this is a good one. Hope you like it and I would like some more reviews. I'll update as soon as possible. And please don't hurt me for the crappy names I come up with.
