I must apologize for taking so long into giving you all a chapter. Things are just going so wrong in my life and I feel absoluetely horrible about it. I wish I could update more but as you can see I need time to think things through. Other then that here has arrived the next chapter of Into the World of Tortal.

Page Training

Larissa groaned slightly in pain as she stumbled into her room. The training was so intense that she didn't even know that Alanna and Keladry had gone through so much. The training had only started about a month ago and she was learning so much but each and every day of the training had just seemed more and more painful exaustion and all she wanted to do was crawl into bed and relax. Though the training was helping her to get her mind off of home and family.

Each day she had gone to see his magesty, the king, to see if they had come up with a way home. Thankfully they haven't succeeded in finding a way home for her. The thought of going home to see her mother just brought bad thoughts into her mind. The thought of seeing her father brought even worse thoughts to her mind. Just memories of them made her want to be sick.

One particular day she was summoned to talk to the king. She came in wearing the usual tight brown breaches, dark green tunic, and loose white shirt. She looked at his magesty and coughed slightly to get his attention. She blinked when he didn't seem to realize she was there. She then raised her voice enough and said, "You wanted to see me your magesty?"

King Jonathan turned in his chair to look at her and a smile grew on his face to show his white teeth. He nodded. "Yes Larissa.. Please have a seat." He motioned to the chair that was located across from him. He smiled warmly at her as she took the seat. "I would just like to know how you are handling the training. From what I remember you said something about when you came from your world that in your world you weren't able to walk."

Larissa had nodded to his curiousity. "Yes I wasn't able to walk but.. The training is going well. I'm enjoying it and I feel actually free for once then I did back in my own world." She smiled brightly at him. She had never smiled like this back home in Virginia. She had always had a sad look on her face and had always wanted to go into this world but now that she was here it was like a dream come true.

The king nodded as he accepted her answer. "That is good. Well here is the real reason I asked you to come see me today. Have you ever thought of maybe it's your power that brought you here. That maybe it was truely magic that you have that brought you here." For his response, Larissa shook her head. He nodded slightly. "Well I was thinking that maybe if you wished yourself to go.."

Larissa had quickly interupted him. "But I really don't want to leave.. I do not wish to go home. I feel happier here then I have ever been in a long time."

The king nodded slightly. "I understand that.. But what would happen if something were to happen? What if you were hurt? What if you couldn't walk here either?"

Larissa shrugged slightly. "I don't know your magesty. All I know is that I'm very happy here. I want this happiness to remain until the end." She rose to her feet and asked, "May I have my leave now your magesty?"

The king nodded. "You may go." He turned in his seat to look out the window.

Larissa sighed as she brought herself back to her memory of being back here on the bed in her room at the castle. Just the thought of leaving depressed her. She got out of the bed and moved to go. Maybe helping Kris out with his math might get her off the thoughts of leaving to go home. She moved down the hall after locking her door and froze as she saw Jason. It wasn't Jasson, his magesty the prince, but Jason who was brother to Joren.

Jason gave her a look that froze her right in her tracks and walked over to her. "What are you still doing here bitch?" His question was quite derogitory and rude but she shouldn't take it to heart.

Larissa bit her lip slightly and said, "What are you talking about? I'm have the right to train here as much as you do."

Jason rolled his eyes and bumped into her as he moved past her. "We'll get you out. Don't worry too much.. There won't be a third female knight as long as I'm around." He moved on down the hall towards the direction of his own room.

Larissa growled slightly to herself as she watched him walk away and rubbed her arm. Well that didn't go well. It just depressed her even more. She shrugged to herself and moved on to go to knock on Kris' door.

A moment later Kris opened the door and a wide smile appeared on his face. "Great! Just who I wanted to see," he said, sounding abosutley excited about seeing her.

Larissa blinked slightly and moved on into the room. "Oh? And why would you want to see little old me?" She gave him a smile which made him actually blush. She was a little surprised by that but didn't take it to heart. After all he was a friend and she probably wouldn't be staying here long after she was knighted. For what she could see was that she would be going through the actually training into becoming a knight like she had wished for then being sent home. But she hoped that wasn't true.

Kris grinned after his blush dissapeared. "Well... I wanted to know if you could help me with this difficult math problem that I'm having trouble with. And if you do... I can help you with that science homework which I know you are having problems with."

Larissa actually laughed. She nodded and soon the two were burried into books as the thought of Jason, home, and magic was pushed out of her mind.

I am so sorry it took me so long to get this up. I'm so happy you all could be this patient with me and I promise next week the next chapter will be up. Just please continue to be patient with me through all of my problems.
