Gabi's Story
Squire Gabi was steered into a chair still in shock. Prince Jason, Sir
Lance (her knight-master) and Squire Dylan (one of her year-mates) all sat
down next to her. Everyone in the room (they were in a sitting room in the
Manor) went silent and stared at her. King Jonathan, Queen Thayet, Jason's
Parents, The Lioness and other living legend knights from the Lioness's
generation where gathered around her.
"Alright spit it out Gabs who is she? You called her what, Thea?" Lance asked "And how do you know her?" asked the Prince. "Quiet you people and let the girl talk" the queen commanded.
Gabi finally came out of her daze and looked around at the expectant faces of her friends and elders. She got started. "There isn't much to tell, Thea and I used to be good friends when we were eight. I haven't seen her in years." Gabi stopped there hoping that would be enough to appease their curiosity. It wasn't.
"If that was the whole story you wouldn't be so shocked to see her. Now what happened?" it was a command from the king. Gabi couldn't ignore the king
"Not much happened, but as you know this is my uncles house, I used to liver here because my parents like to travel. One evening I was out in the town alone because Thea had been sick for a while. To make a long story short a man attacked me and I got pretty beat-up, then Thea showed up and knocked him on the head with a rock, he wasn't knocked out so she told me to run and I did. My parents where visiting and they got me to a healer just in time, and a fortnight later they took me out of here to Corus where I decided to go for my shield." When Gabi went silent her knight master asked, "What happened to Thea, She obviously wasn't killed".
"That's just it I never knew what happen to her, in the days I was still here after the attack she never came to visit me and I wasn't aloud back in the town, my parents wouldn't let me, and besides I didn't know where she lived, she never told me, So for the past nine years I have assumed she was killed."
Prince Jason lay awake in bed that night wondering about this mysterious Thea who saved the lives of his grandparents and parent when no one else knew they had to be saved. There was something about her that just "sings". Literally, when she walked and talked, it all sounded like music. Jason pictured her in his mind. She was beautiful, her long brown hair in two braids one on each side of her head. The most striking feature about her is her eyes; Jason had never seen eyes change so drastically from a very interesting yellow to a hard shocking gray. As he found himself getting tired he thought, I don't think that is going to be my last encounter this amazing creature that catches arrows while flipping through the air, at least I hope it's not.
