Citrus Fruit & Confused knight xxx
P.s. We will take it in turns to write different chapters, I will now present to you the 1st chapter, writtenby Citrus Fruit!A group of ladies were walkign to the practise courts. Not in skirts, not in dresses, not in slinky eye-catching ball gowns, but rather, in breeches and large tunics. "This heat is unbearable!" One with red fiery hair exclaimed, bringing her hands to ruffle her much overgrown hair. This one was Alanna. Alanna of Trebond, King's Champion, the fiery Knight of Tortall.
"I REALLY need to get some new clothes"
"Yes, I suppose. The heat summer can get unbearable, but what can we do?" A regal voice, soft and demure spoke up. It belonged to the Queen of Tortall, Thayet, the most beautiful woman in the world. She was soft and quiet, but skilled with a bow.
She selected a bow gingerly, and placed the arrows upon it, holding the edge of it gingerly, respecting the weapon and let go. It went flying, twonk. It hit dead on target. Next, was a greeny brown eyed Knight, also of Tortall, the much respected Protector of the Small.
She plonked herself on the dry, green and malnourished grass, not concerned much about the other women's conversation, but rather of a blue eyed man with floppy brown hair hurl himself and his wooden sword atop his opponent, pinning his arms to the floor. She heard a wail of complaint from the loser. "Dom! You know you're better at sword fighting than me! No need to show off"
Kel laughed, standing up and approaching the two men. "Congratulations Meathead"
He looked up at her, puzzled. She continued, "You prevailed against Dom for at least two minutes!" He scowled back at her and she grinned at Dom, wearing a shirt and knee-length trousers, lying on the sandy ground on the court in hysterics.
"I wish I could wear something other than breeches, not dresses OR skirts though"
Alanna snorted, something you would never hear another noble do. "I wish!"
