Child of Raoul and Buri
Buri loved her daughter and took her on every Rider mission she could, since she still help out, and wasn't surprised when the question came up.
"Mom, can I be a knight?" asked Alanna or Ala.
"Only if your father approves." said Buri.
Ala hurried off to find her father, they had been a Pirate's Swoop for two days now and Raoul had began to teach Ulasim how to ride and joust.
She found them in a open field next to the Keep, and wait for her father to notice she was there. A few mintues later he rode over on his warhorse, Golden Fire, and dismounted.
"Ala, what is it?" he asked.
"Papa, can I be a knight like you?" asked Ala.
"Yes, on three conditions." replied her father, " One tell your mother, two no beat up bully unchivalrously, and three always be a sponsor."
"One I told mom already and she said its up to you, two of course, three, planned to anyway." Ala replied.
"Good, in about a week Prince Jasson, Rikash, Ilane, and Kelandry are coming here to learn from Aunt Alanna, Uncle George, Uncle Alan, and Uncle Thom." said her father.
"O.k. so I'll be staying here a while then?" asked Ala.
"You all start in two years, so for those two years you all will be moved for place to place learning different types of fighting." said Buri as she came up behind her daughter.
Startled Ala whiped around quickly and looked at her mother a mintue before replying, "Where all will we be going?"
"Besides here Trebond, Masbolle, Queenscove, the Royal Forest, the Bazir." replied her mother.
"Four months at each place?" asked Ala.
"Yes, with Trebond and Masbolle during the hotest parts of the summer and the Royal Forest and the Bazir in the winter." replied her father.
"What of spring and fall?" asked Ulasim as he rode up.
"Spring will be here or Queenscove and the others are a part of fall." said Buri.
At that time bell rang to sumen everyone to the Keep for lunch with the Baron and his sons.
"Will talk more when everyone gets here, Ala." said her father as Ulasim stabled the mount he used.
"Why not after lunch?" asked Ulasim.
"I have to leave and escourt the Prince and his friends here with Kel, Daine, and Numair.
Ala hugged her father, "See you soon, Father."
Ala and Ulasim walked up to the Keep for lunch and for lessons in fighting with knieves.
