CHAPTER SIX: THE GLORY
As the Prince and Alanna danced they talked about every weapon and sword possible and how beautiful Bystine was. Jonathan asked her questions about its history and how she started the idea of the Riders. As they finished their third dance, two of her commanders and three sergeants came bounding through the doors.
Alanna and Jonathan separated as the five came up the two of them. Jon noticed that they were wearin gypsy style skirts in white and gold which were the Riders' colours. Their hair was up and in horsetails. They also wore sliver and gem stone swords, and with their rank in the riders on a charm around their necks.
"Highness, we have major trouble two towns over. One of the larger bandit clans form Sarain we were tracking have began to cause trouble and they.." Just before Imperial Lady Rabe, Duchess Isabelle, Imperial Lady Aine, Countess Lani of Tirragen (Alex's sister), and lady Audrey of Conté, the Prince's cousin, could finish, Alanna cut in.
"Hello, to you, too."
"Oh My God, so sorry." They all said at the same time. All five bowed to the Prince and Alanna. Then Rabe began to finish their story. "Need our help so we must go, our horses are saddled and ready to go. Do you have time to change if you wish it?" They told her.
"No, there is no time for that." So with that she took her sword out of its sheath and hoped to God her Bystine family and seamstress would forgive her for this. She took the sword and cut her dress just above her knee and pulled out her hair and tiara. Then she put it in a horsetail and passed everything else to a maid.
As the others left she turned to the prince and thanked him for the dances and told him they would dance again some time. But Jon, Gary, Raoul and Alex ran to the main doors in the castle and watched in awe at the fact that so many women could like sword play in Tortall. What they heard was thundering hoof beats of a thousand horses echoing throughout the fief, to them it was a magnificent sight. Manes of black, white, and every other colour imaginable billowed in the wind. Each horse's hooves pounded dirt road, giving off the impression that they were in the middle of a thunderstorm. The riders looked amazing in armour, but nevertheless they all looked like goddesses or angels in their saddles.
"Riders lets get out and save a town." With that Alanna yelled one loud cry and they were gone with thundering hoof beats and screaming women. The riders were gone and everyone was left shocked by what they saw. By now Thom was standing in front of them and said "You guys might want to close your mouths before they drop off." With Jon, Gary, Raoul and Alex went chasing after their young friend into the dark night.
"Alanna?" whispered Rabe.
"Yes? How are we going to do this?"
"Easy, we are going to wait till they get close to the waterfall and then we will come out of where we are hiding now and then we will attack."
"Like now, Princess?"
Alanna looked up and said, "Yes. Now."
"Come, Riders. We attack. Now," With that they rode with speed and
quickness like lighting. "For the Glory of Trebond!" Alanna cried.
