Alloy looked at her mother and father in astonishment. They had to be

kidding. "I?m sorry sweetie," her mother said, and Alloy believed her. It

was her father who she was worried about.

"Sweetie you know we would never do anything to hurt you." Her father

tried to comfort her. He put a hand on her shoulder, she shrugged away.

"Dad, if you loved me, you wouldn?t be doing this! You know I can take

care of myself! I learned from Emperor Kaddar?s wife, who?s one of the best

Shang fighters in Carthak!"

"But that?s just it sweetie, if she?d been such a great fighter she

wouldn?t have died. Now you can go to Tortall and learn strategies from the

best knights in the World. The world sweetie!"

"Dad she was shot by an arrow! What could she do about that? I know y?all

are worried but don?t try to fix anything. I don?t need to go to Tortall!

They have people who talk to animals! Who can turn people into trees and at

the same time turn a tree into a person! They can heal people with one touch!

And they have Women knights and squires!" Alloy stormed off.

Ever since Emperor Kaddar and his wife had been assasinated by people who

wanted someone like the previous Emperor Ozorne, the whole nation of Carthak

had been ruined. Everyday people were being killed and the worst part was

brothers were fighting against brothers. Now her parents, the best scientists

in Carthak( that?s how she?d been named. They wanted to name her after their

favorite element), wanted to send her to Tortall where she?d be safe.

Safe, she thought, I?m safe here. I know how to defend myself. She?d love

to go to Tortall and become a knight, but it?s just not done. In Carthak,

women weren?t allowed to be warriors, and she was a proper lady who was

taught defense only to defend herself against men taking advantage of her,

which happened a lot. Her fighting skills had come in handy more than once.

Now she had to go. Her parents told her she?d be sent tomorrow, but she

wouldn?t go. She?d run away. That?s it, that?s what she?d do. She turned into

her room and started packing.

What do u think? Do u like it? This will b a long fic. Probably a couple

years, maybe monthes. But we?ll tell in summer. Use the box!
