Chapter 4: I'm ready)
Kisra slowly walked up to all the other boys that were getting ready to go out to the battle.
"About time you got here, what took you so long, boy," screeched the gruff voice of the solider Grommet.
"Oh," taking a deep breath Kisra lowered her voice, "I mean, I was just telling my sister goodbye."
Looking down Kisra hopped Grommet would not bust her, and ask where her brother was.
"Well, get ready, grab a sword," looking at the girl that was standing in front of him trembling like a leaf, he scratched his head in confusion, "didn't he have blue eyes a minute ago," he thought to himself. Shaking his head, he walked away.
Why was he starring at me so hard, Kisra thought to herself, worrying that he noticed her green eyes, the only thing about her that was different from Azuma, well except the thing that were normally different between boys and girls, but nobody could tell, because they were still little kids who have not developed yet?
"Hey, get moving, you heard the man, got a sword. Here you can have this one, it's light, but it's very sharp. Be careful with it," a nice older boy smiled at Kisra and handed her a bright shiny sword, she struggled with the weight, but it did not take her long to get the hang of it.
"Thank you," Kisra smiled back, shyly she glanced up at the boy. Wow, he does not look scared at all, well I guess that's because he is a real boy . . . oh what am I thinking, I'm brave, you don't have to be a boy to be brave. I can do it, I'm going to go out there, and give it my all, she thought to herself.
The boy caught her looking at him, and gave her a quick nod before he turned around the corner and followed the rest of the men and the boys out to the battle field.
"For Azuma," she whispered.
"I'm ready," and with that last word, Kisra took a final look back to the room where her brother was laying, then slowly walked out the big stone doors.
