(Liu Chan)

Chapter One

"Liu Chan, may I ask what are you doing?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Oh, nothing, just waiting for my father, he's in a meeting with Lord Liu Bei," I answered. "Don't you need to be there?"

"Of course, I was on my way," he answered and then the doors opened.

"Liu Chan, it's good to see you," Liu Bei said walking by me.

"You too, Lord Bei," I said back and bowed.

"Liu Chan, what are you doing here, you're supposed to be at home?" father asked.

"I want to fight," I answered.

"How many times do we have to discuss this, you are not going to fight," he said.

"But why; I'm 16, trained, and I would be great out there?" I asked.

"No, you are my only daughter, no you're my only child, I don't want to risk losing you," he answered and kissed the top of my head. The others have left.

"Please, just one battle and if I get hurt or you need me to leave, I will and not fight until I'm older?" I pleaded and grabbed his hand.

"Alright, just one for now," he said.

"Thank you, thank you," I said excitedly and gave him the biggest hug in the world.

"Well we better get prepared, we leave tomorrow," he said and we walked to our house, which is close to the castle.

(Ma Chao)

"Ma Chao!" Zhuge Liang said walking up to me.

"Yes master Zhuge Liang?" I asked.

"We are headed to battle tomorrow and Lord Bei and I were discussing strategies and were wondering if you would be our relief general?" he asked.

"Yeah, sure I'll do it." I answered.

"Great, see you then," he said and nodded and walked along. I nodded back and decided to get ready for battle.
