I'd like to thank everyone who has read this far and I apologize for taking so long in typing something up. I guess you can just call me lazy if you wish but things are about to get very interesting in this chapter.
Larissa of Horsecove
Larissa listened with interest as she was talked to by Kris. He was actually a very nice guy. She just hoped she would become a squire sooner than the others. She didn't want to be the oldest page but King Jonathan had spoken and had aloud her into training to become the third female knight. She smiled to herself at that thought. The third female knight in this world and she was the chosen one to become it.
Kris had suddenly said something and she went, "Huh?" She raised both of her eyebrows like she was asking him to repeat what he had said to her. They had been sitting at the tables for breakfast and she had to admit, Kris was kinda cute. Wait wait wait. She can't fall for a guy. She was concentrating on becoming a knight like Alanna and Keladry. She sighed at the thought. She probably couldn't compare to the two but she would try.
Kris raised his eyebrows slightly. "I said that I've never heard of Horsecove. Where in Tortal did you say you were from?"
Larissa started to panic. She couldn't let the secret out that she had traveled through a portal to get here. It was just unnatural. She smiled slightly. "Actually Horsecove is near Carthak. I live south of here. Very far south."
Kris nodded slightly as he accepted her answer. There was no possible way that this girl was from near Carthak. The farther south they went the hotter the sun. This meant that the darker the skin of the people farther south. She wasn't from near Carthak. Her skin was too light. He thought maybe she was from Scanra. After all they had just gotten out of a war with them and she might be trying to run from them. She had the blue eyes but that accent wasn't really right. She spoke common and that's really all that mattered at the moment. From what he saw though she didn't have any magic.
He looked up as Jasson of Conte walked forward and sat next to him. He grinned slightly at his friend and looked to Larissa. "Larissa. I'd like to introduce you to Jasson of Conte."
Jasson nodded slightly at her. He had the black and sapphire eyes like his father. He was rather cute but to her nothing compared to the king. The king just was plain handsome and probably anybody would fall on their knees for him.
What Larissa saw in Jasson was stubbornness that reminded her of Jon when he was young in the books of Alanna the lioness. She smiled at the thought of that. She couldn't imagine being with a prince. After all she was just a plain girl. "It's a pleasure to meet you your highness." She smiled at the teenage boy infront of her.
Soon a man walked forward and stood on a podium infront of everyone. He stood infront of the squires and the pages. He lifted his hands and blessed everyone and gave his prayer. He smiled and sat down at his table to eat. He didn't seem at all like Wyldon. She didn't care at the moment though. She was going to be able to eat.
Larissa ate her food slowly to savior every taste of it. She sighed slightly and satisfied look came to her face as some more boys sat down with them. They didn't seem at all that mean or bad as she thought they might. She grinned at them slightly. It was nice to know that she was welcomed among these boys who were in their teens and going through being a squire. She smiled to herself. She couldn't wait to start her training at being a page. She couldn't wait to go riding like others.
Kris muttered something about math and she perked up her ears. She had always been exceptionally good at math. She smiled and said, "Are you have a bit of trouble with math?" She raised her eyebrows slightly as she gazed at him.
Kris nodded slightly with a down look on his face. "Yes. I don't know if I can find any help with math though."
Larissa smiled and chuckled. "Well it is your lucky day because I'm here to serve and help you with your math worries." She grinned at him with a twinkle in her eyes.
The boys near her just laughed as the dove into their food. This was going to be more exciting than she thought it would be.
Well what do you think? Review please and I'm sorry I took so long again. I'll never do it again.. I was just getting frustrated when there were no reviews but I kept on getting more.. Please post a review and I might make a char in there just for you.
