Chapter 3

Becoming a Page

Larissa listened quietly as the king and his champion talked. They talked about how she would be becoming a knight of the realm. She had never thought that it would be so difficult of them deciding of how she would become a knight. The descion finally came to a close. They had decided that they would have her become the oldest page since Neal of Queenscove.

Jonathan called Timon up to escort her to get clothes for page hood. This would possibly be the last time she would see King Jonathan and Sir Alanna again. She followed silently as Timon lead her to get fitted for clothes. She smiled slightly as the man went to measuring her and giving her a golden tunic, a white cotton shirt, and red hose with boots and comfortable shoes. She had been told that she would find new clothes in her new room.

She would be known as Larissa of Horsecove. She had told the story about how she had come here and how she was yelling in the woods about that she could walk. It had happened long ago when she was only 5 years old. She had been playing with her best friend at the top of her stairs and had been pushed down the stairs.

As she fell down the stairs, she felt like her life was passing right before her eyes. She had never thought she was going to live. She couldn't feel below her waist after that. The doctors couldn't even help her. Her parents had started to despise her because she was weak and useless. They decided since she couldn't walk that they shouldn't even keep her. That had been what had broken her away from her family. She had started to hate her family and from then on she would be alone with her books.

She had looked up to see Alanna wipe away a tear and Jon look down with sad eyes. Jon had then spoke, "You may become the knight that you desire to become. I give you permission." He smiled at her had summoned from then for Timon.

Larissa was lead to a room with a bed in the middle of the room and fire in the fire place. She took off her jeans and pulled on the hose and boots. She took off her tank top to keep on her bra and pulled on a white shirt with the tunic. She pulled her long blond hair into a pony tail. She refused to cut her hair as Keladry or Alanna had done when they had been pages.

She smiled at herself in the mirror. She looked quite good for her age. She didn't wear any make up or anything like that. She took out her earrings. She would be starting her page hood that day. She stepped out the door to be stared at by some squires and some pages. Some of the squires must have been bound by the castle because of their knight masters. She grinned in spite of herself. She couldn't wait to start tumbling and running and learning to sword fight. She would be beginning her year as a page. She would be the oldest page ever.

A boy about her age came up to her with a disgusted look on his face. "My brother had been killed because of a girl page. I don't think that females should become knights. You should run while you have the time." The boy looked like Joren in away. He had short cropped blond hair and icey blue eyes.

Another boy about the same age but looked younger than Larissa looked to the boy with blond hair. "Oh stop it Jason. You disgust us all with you still thinking girls can't become pages. Well guess what. You are wrong cause my brother Owen said they can." He looked to Larissa and smiled her. "My name is Kris by the way. Short for Kristopher." He grinned at her.

Larissa looked down as her ponytail went over one of her shoulders. "My name is Larissa of Horsecove." She would do as the king had told her to do. "Nice to meet you."
