"I first met you when you came to Tortall and you where 13 years old" Elaine started "now you have to remember that this was about twenty years ago, the current king was just a boy. My own son gorge was also just a boy still and had just taken over the rouge. Alanna had been in the palace for a year and already beaten Ralon up and he had left in disgrace.
You came with naught but a few jewels and a few gold coins. Every one thought that because you where from some other place you wouldn't know how to protect yourself. Boy they where wrong. A few tried to assault you but I guess fighting is in your nature because you sent every one of them to the infirmary.
Every one was shocked that you could beat up pages as well as squires. The training master retired a few weeks later and the old king said that you could be the new training master or should I say training mistress.
Well it was about then that Jonathan noticed you. Everyone thought that he was an idiot for taking so long to give you attention. You and Jon had a brief relationship but it ended when your brother came with an order from your mother that said that you had to marry a guy that had arrived a week earlier you got married and all your students where disappointed because you left shortly after. You appeared again two year's later saying that you where just on holiday but we all knew that something was wrong. Your husband arrived the next day and when you saw him you started to cry. All your old students asked if he had hurt you. You said that no, he didn't hurt you but that you thought that he was dead and that you where just really glad to see that he was alive. I didn't get to speak to you a lot when you where here the second time although we did have lunch together.
A week after you arrived you had just settled down when anyone with the gift, even the smallest amount, said that and evil being had arrived in Tortall. That was when we all saw that you where truly afraid and you started going on about the fact that she was going to kill you and your husband. You also said something about a baby and the fact that she was pure evil. We where all so worried about you.
The next day all the strong mages went into a deep sleep and no one could wake them up. You where petrified you didn't know whether to run or to hide. That was when "She" arrived. She stalked through the castel and scared all the children. We all some how knew that she was looking for you and that she wanted to hurt you badly. She found you in the main hall at lunchtime and we all knew that you where in trouble.
She started to call you a lot of really mean names and then she slapped you.
She started to speak in some ancient language and you where turned into stone. This is why every one thought that you where dead. Just before you where fully stone she took a knife and stabbed your husband. You screamed so loudly that everyone had sore ears. After you screamed you said something in an old language and she exploded and disappeared. By this time you where fully stone and your brother arrived. He said something about it being a twenty year spell and that when you wake you will wish that you where dead. And that is the last that we ever saw of you until now of corse."
