I don't own anyone…Enjoy!
Kyprioth took Aly home, where she appeared in the living room. "Ma!" she called.
Kyprioth whispered, "When you're done, call me. I'll talk to them." And vanished.
Alanna came rushing down and saw Aly. She flung herself on her daughter, and held her tight. "So you wanted to become a spy that much." Aly nodded.
"Ma, I have something to tell you. I'm in love." Alanna stared. She was not expecting that.
"Yeah. Right." Said a voice from the corner. It was her brother Thom.
"Hi Thom!" she said, hugging him. "I am." She said firmly.
"With who?" Alanna asked.
"With a god. He does return my affections." She said. Alanna and Thom gaped.
"Who is this god?" asked Thom, the first to recover.
"Kyprioth. I'm engaged to him." she said.
"Hey! Isn't that the god who chose your father?" she asked.
"Ya." Aly said.
Cricket chirping….
"Aly, are you sure about this?" she asked.
"Ma, I'm sure. I am a spymaster! I found someone who does not bore me! I have done everything I wanted! I'm sure!" she said. "Now meet my fiancé, Kyprioth! Please come here!" she called.
All eyes went up. Kyprioth came down, flashing his usual charming grin. Only Aly could sense that he was tense. Alanna asked him, "Is this true young- uhm never mind, you? Are you going to bug my daughter?" Alanna interrogated.
"Lady, I love her. I'm not going to harm her" said Kyprioth cheerfully. He knew enough not to sass her too much, but it was his first time, and he wanted to see how long it would take to irritate her. It seemed to be working fast.
"Ma, I'm going to marry him no matter what you say, but I would rest easy if you approve." Said Aly.
Alanna snorted. "You're too much like your father."
"Ma, you know, the goddess said the same thing to me. It's sort of weird. Anyhow, I've got work to do. With Dove's coronation around the corner, the terrorist attacks have increased. Oh yea, tell Da that I will kill Landfall the next time he comes to me and bugs me. Tell Aunt Daine thanks for the darkings, and I will be back in time for the babies naming ceremonies. Love you! Bye" called Aly, waving from the whirl of magic she was surrounded by.
Back in the Isles…
"Kyprioth darling, I love you more than life itself." She said, head on his chest.
"Sweet, I love you too, but I don't have a life." Aly chuckled. "Sweet, it's time to tell them." He said.
"Tell who?" she asked
"Your friends, Dove, Sarai, Chenaol. All of them." She nodded her head in agreement.
The next morning, she woke up and called all of her friends into her office. "Okay, people, I'm going to tell you two secrets that could take this land. Firstly, I am the Lionesses daughter, and my father is the spymaster. I learned most of what I know at his knee. My red hair and temper and sight are Alanna's legacy. I will not sell your secrets to them, I am competing with them in fact. The second is that I'm going to get married." She ended. Chenaol looked surprised.
"To whom?"
"To him." she said pointing behind them. When they turned, they saw Kyprioth.
"Him!" Chenaol asked. "Girl, you are crazy."
"No she is not dear woman. She is getting married to me." Kyprioth intervened. "Now we have that little problem about spymaster, right? But since she is my wife, she can come and go as she pleases. So that fixes it, no body objects our marriage?" he asked. "Ok, we covered her parents and all of you, so that's it. Now, Aly, I'll be back for you in a bit." and vanished.
The whole bunch looked at Aly in awe, especially Dove. "The lioness is your mother?" she asked
"Yea. I'll make an introduction if you want." She said.
"And he is your husband-to-be?" she asked more curt.
"Yup." She answered.
"How long have you courted each other?"
"Uhm, one and a half years." She said, calculating.
"Oh dear. So I guess your ma almost killed him?"
"Ya, I could see she was near to it. Dove, no objections?"
"No objections." She answered.
I know, a bit short and abrupt ending, but I was dry of ideas. If you have any, tell me, and I'll repost. Do review!
