Ch. 2 The Impending Duel

Jon was quite surprised at first but he enjoyed Alannas company greatly. They talked about different weapons and battle tactics.

When they reached the practice courts they stopped to watch two knights engaged in a duel. When the bout was over, with the bigger of the two knights winning easily, Jon called them over.

"Gary, Raoul, may I present Lady Alanna of Trebond. Alanna this is Garth of Naxen the younger, and Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak." Jon introduced

"It's a pleasure to meat you Lady Alanna." Gary smiled and bowed.

"A pleasure Lady Alanna." Raoul copied.

"If you call me Lady one more time I'll have to dump you in the dirt." Seeing there expressions Alanna laughed and was soon joined by Jon.

"I believe she really will dump you in the dirt." Jon smiled and stopped laughing but still had a humorous glint in his eye.

"Do u mind if I have a go?"

"A go at what, if I may ask." Gary was a bit as to what she wanted to do.

"At you. In a duel of course."

"Are you sure, its harder than it looks you know, especially with you being a lady and I well a fully trained knight of the realm."

Alanna's smile and good humor vanished. What was it with men? They assume if you're a girl you're useless except for sex and the production of an heir.

"I'm positive!"

Gary startled by her sudden change in attitude, only nodded.

Raoul and Jon exchanged puzzled yet worried glances. Jon spoke first. "Gary you have a sword but Alanna.."

"I have one thank you. It's in my trunk witch I'm sure is now in witch ever room I am to use. If someone could get it?"

"I'll get it Alanna." Raoul tried a smile and left.
