The Immortals War; a dreadful one year war when both horrific and wonderful immortal beings leaked from the Chaotic Realm into the Realm of the Gods and the Realm of the Humans. Animals including dragons and unicorns roamed the lands. Evildoers including Stormwings- steel feathered birds with human heads and torsos, tauroses- half men, half bull creatures that preyed on women, and spidrens- horrific spiderlike creatures with human heads fought in this dreadful battle. This battle was waged by the evil emperor of Carthak- Emperor Ezeko. His nephew, Prince Kaddar, attempted to stop him. In Ezeko’s company included mages from Scanra and the Copper Isles. The main opponent to the evil Carthaki emperor was Tortall.
Ruled by King Jonathon IV and Queen Thayet, Tortall fought Emperor Ezeko. But it wasn’t just the king and queen- they had help. The King’s Champion, Alanna the Lioness, fought as well. The King’s Own, led by Knight Commander Raoul of Goldenlake, also fought. Mages including the most powerful mage in the realm- the Black Mage Numair Salamin battled it out in a power of forces against innumerable foes. The Wildmage- Verilidaine Sarrisri, who had the power to talk to animals and shape shift to become an animal called on her friends to join the battle. Daine and Numair battled in various locations- fiefdoms including Trebond, Dunlath, and Snow Peak. Some immortals were on the Tortallan side, some on the Carthaki side.
Now Daine and Numair were in strange company. Traveling with them were a basilisk named Tkaa, a dragon named Kitten, and two ponies- Cloud and Spot. This party accompanied Daine and Numair as Numair taught Daine her powers. They traveled through the realm- and even got caught in the realm of the gods. There they encountered dragons- two of which helped them in the battle.
All the while, Alanna the Lioness and the Knight’s Commander of the King’s Own were in battle as well. They fought to defend their realm, and all the while tribesmen of the desert Bazhir defended the south. Baron George Cooper, former King of the Rogue (thieves) defended Pirate’s Swoop and the coast. Raoul’s, the Knight Commander’s, former squire Keladry of Mindelan, also known as the Protector of the Small, fought alongside her hero, Alanna the Lioness. They battled to defend Tortall while Daine and Numair fought to find a way to the emperor. The legendary battle ended when Daine tracked down the Stormwing Ezeko, and ravaged him with her badger claw that the badger god gave her. The queen of chaos, Uusaoe, was defeated finally by the gods.
But there was one problem. Uusaoe may have been defeated by the gods, her children weren’t. They made a deal with the Black God, the god of death, and resurrected her mother. Once again, Uusaoe lives. She has been hacking away at the barrier that protected her, and is already releasing her immortal creatures- along with the ones that stayed in the human realms. She has shifted her focus point to a young mage- Flindan of Coralcove. Flindan has very powerful magic powers. Perhaps not as powerful as the Black Mage’s, but he is fit to be a worthy opponent. Uusaoe is focusing all her power onto Flindan in hopes of finally conquering the gods.
The descendants of the Black Mage, the Wildmage, the Lioness, the Knight Commander, the Protector of the Small, and the King of the Rogue- and two others- have to come together under King Jonathan VII and Queen Krysta. The armies must resist Uusaoe’s and Flindan’s doings if the realm of Tortall is to survive!

Ｃｈａｒａｃｔｅｒｓ
The Lioness[ Taken by Memories in the Mist ] [ Reserved ] [ Open ] The Lioness is a very fierce fighter. She is a complete tomboy and was forced to hide her identity in a squire’s training, as only boys were allowed to train as knights. She fought her way through her page and squire training, and soon was knighted Lady Knight of Trebond, her home fief. She got lessons from the King of the Rogue. She is sharp tongued and short tempered, but it an excellent fighter. She has a palomino mare named Moonlight and a sword named Lightning. The Lioness also has the favor of the Great Mother Goddess. She has a powerful violet Gift (magic), though not as powerful as the Black Mage’s. The Wildmage[ Taken by Leopardstreak ] [ Reserved ] [ Open ] The Wildmage is very closely tied to nature. She can shape shift into any animal she chooses, and can also shift into many animals at once (like a falcon wings for speed, and eagle beak for damage, and a sparrow’s size). She can talk with animals, and can ask them for help. She does not have any specific Gift, but has wild magic- her strongest is with horses. Her magic is copper colored fire. The Wildmage was trained by the Black Mage, and her father is Weiryn, the hunting god. She is taken care of and advised by the badger god, whose token to her is a silver claw. The Wildmage can heal animals as well as speak to them. The Protector of the Small[ Taken by Memories in the Mist ] [ Reserved ] [ Open ] The Protector of the Small trained as a page to become a knight- as a girl. She wore dresses to remind the boys that she was a girl. She started as a probationer, and hasn’t forgiven Lord Wyldon- the training master- and the king for putting her on probation. She doesn’t have any magical Gift, but has sparrows and a dog as her best friends. The dog, Jump, is an ugly war beaten terrier. He is a vicious combatant, and the sparrows serve as spies for her. She has a large strawberry roan warhorse named Peachblossom, who is very vicious to anyone but her. She has a riding bay mare named Hoshi. She came from the Yamani Islands, and uses her Yamani training to hide her emotions. Her favorite weapon is a glaive- a long wooden pole with an end encased in iron and a sharp eighteen inch long point, like a spear.The Trickster Mage[ Taken by LoVelYMarRionEtTe ] [ Reserved ] [ Open ] The Trickster Mage is very fun and flirty. She trained in school with the Black Mage, and is one rank below him. She used to be in love with him, but it is reduced to a small crush now. She is talented with cooking and decorating with her magic. Her Gift is a soft violet-pink. She loves pretty things and enjoys making things pretty. But don’t trust her too much- she can be mean! Usually, she’s very nice and sweet, but one of her favorite things to do is play pranks! Her pranks vary from frog in the bed to a fake explosion. Her “partner in crime”, the Warmage, who in reality is her best friend, always cooks up powerful spells to keep her out of trouble. The Trickster Mage doesn’t really like The Protector of the Small, but gets along. She always wears a pinkish purple gem around her neck- her magical focus. The Black Mage[ Taken ] [ Reserved ] [ Open ] The Black Mage is the most powerful mage in the realm. He trained the Wildmage, and he wears a black robe- being only seven of the black robes in the world. He accompanied the Wildmage in her adventures in the realm of the gods, throughout Tortall, and in Carthak. He used to be close friends with Emperor Ezeko while they studied at the Carthaki university. But then Ezeko began to plot his death, and the Black Mage escaped to Tortall. He cannot talk to animals or as much with animals as the Wildmage, but he can shape shift and he can perform any spell imaginable- from raising the dead to using words of power. During the war, he used a word of power to turn an opponent mage into a tree. The Black Mage is very powerful and the king’s right hand mage. The Knight Commander[ Taken by Leopardstreak ] [ Reserved ] [ Open ] The Knight Commander trained as a page the same year as the Lioness and the king. He was very close friends with the king and the Lioness, and is closer to the Lioness than the king now. He doesn’t have any magical Gift or wild magic; he just has brawn. He’s very strong and a big man, and well muscled. He’s commander of the First Company of the King’s Own, and the best jouster in the land. He has a large black warhorse named Black Drum. He is legendary with sword and lance, and is one of the king’s best friends. He was also knight-master to the Protector of the Small. The King of the Rogue[ Taken ] [ Reserved ] [ Open ] The King of the Rogue is frankly, king of thieves. He grew up with a mother with healer magic, though no magic of his own. He is a much better fist fighter than he is with a sword or bow. He had a battle with the Shang Dragon, as the Shang specialized in hand and foot fighting. The King of the Rogue is a well muscled man, and trained the Lioness himself in the arts of fist fighting. He also gave her pointers in her squiredom, and helped her throughout her knighthood quests.The Warmage[ Taken ] [ Reserved ] [ Open ] The Warmage is a very big and brawny man. He is very powerful with his dark blue Gift, but not nearly as powerful as the Black Mage. He specializes in war tools and war equipment, from bomb blasts to magical catapults. His best friend is the Trickster Mage, and is always trying to keep her out of trouble. However, he does not like the Black Mage- at all. He thinks he is stealing the Trickster Mage’s affections, when in truth, he has a crush on the Trickster Mage. The Warmage isn’t exactly widely known throughout Tortall, but is feared in battle. He enjoys playing pranks with the Trickster Mage, but really isn’t as mischievous as she is. Pa i r sThe Lioness ♞ The King of Thieves

Natiri never knew her father, but her mother, Sarra, had healing and motherly magic. As far as Sarra knew, Natiri had no magic at all. Sarra had a bit of a magical Gift, but not a lot. Sarra tried to teach Natiri the ways of healing, but Natiri couldn't grasp it. Whenever Natiri had trouble, she always went out to talk with her horse, Cloud. The gray mare was always ready with a sharp reply and good advice. Natiri didn't know she had wild magic, all she knew was that she could talk to Cloud. And Cloud understood! Natiri loved her mare with all she had, and they had many adventures together.
But Natiri was the laughingstock of Snowsdale. She was taunted and teased and made the butt of every joke. She was called very mean names, and so was her mother. But Natiri was proud and she ignored everyone. She never really had any friends except her neighbor's old uncle, her own farm animals, and her mother. Natiri was happy, but she longed to know who her father was. Her mother would never tell her, and no one else knew. Sometimes she would think she'd recognize someone to be her father, but it never was true. So Natiri lived on, making it day to day with the insults and name calling. But one day, that all changed.
Natiri was walking home from the market, fresh meat and vegetables carried by Cloud. She saw smoke; she figured her mother was concocting up some new healing potion. As she rounded the bend towards her home, she swa it was lit on fire and burning. Shrieking, she raced inside. Immediately, she began coughing. She probed around the cottage, searching for something, anything. She stumbled and tripped over something stone cold, and fell flat on the floor. Once her vision cleared, she turned to look back at what she'd tripped over. What met her eyes would haunt her forever. She looked into the dead, lifeless eyes of her dear mother, Sarra. Weeping, sobbing, crying incredulously, Natiri drug her mother's body outside and cleaned it. She buried her dear mother beside her willow tree, where she would find the most peace. Natiri decided it was then when she had to leave.
Calling Cloud, Natiri escaped. The bandits that had ruined her home would PAY! Not only soon ater she left did she and Cloud encounter a pack of wolves. The wolves took differently to Natiri than they would any other human- they adopted her. She lived among wolves for as long as she could remember, until the day she encountered the bandits. She attacked with all her force, her wolf family attacking as well. They left no bandit alive. It was then when Natiri realized she couldn't keep living like that. She said goodbye to her wolf family and took Cloud out once again, riding towards the capital city- Corus. Natiri stopped along the way at a horse sale, deciding to rest and let Cloud get some decent food. As she wandered around, she spotted a pen full of mountain ponies. Recognizing a few of them, she strayed toward them. A woman caught her eye- a K'miri. K'miris were horsepeople. Natiri knew this. The woman asked if she was good with horses, and Natiri said she was. Almost as soon as she realized what was happening, the woman hired her to help with the ponies. The woman's name was Onua. Natiri and Onua stopped many times along the road to get ponies, and Natiri learned the K'miri and palace ways. She heard much about the Queen's Riders and that those ponies were going to them. But one stop delayed them more than normal.
Natiri and Onua were stopped for camp, the ponies picketed and tied. Natiri had gone out to practice with her longbow- her favorite weapon. She was very good at it, and only she could string it. Many men had tried, but failed. She was practicing, and then a black hawk came screeching from the woods- followed by a pack of Stormwings. Natiri shot down five of the ugly creatures while the hawk hid in a log. Onua shot down four, and the last three flew away in terror. Natiri knew the hawk was special, and she soon found out how it was. It was no hawk; it was a mage! The hawk refused to eat and barely drank. The only saving grace was that soon palace healers and the King's Own rode up, offering to take care of the hawk. Soon, the hawk was healthy enough to shift back to his own real shape. The black hawk turned out to be a man- a very powerful mage.
Onua, Natiri, and the mage all traveled back to the palace, when the mage took Natiri as his apprentice. He taught her all about her own kind of magic- wild magic. She could mind-speak with animals and could shape shift into ones as well. She also learned to heal wounded or sick animals, and called on them when she was in need. The animals were also called "The People". They were Beast People. Natiri was half Beast People, half human. She had abilites that no other mage had. Along her adventures, she took care of a baby dragon, named Kitten. The dragon could open and melt locks, and identify magicked items. Kitten and Natiri became fast friends, as did the mage and Natiri. Some time later, Natiri found that she had a crush on the mage. After all he'd done for her, why shouldn't she? ➸ 「 controlling the A D V E N T U R E 」

Her father named her Kayden because it meant pure warrior. Kayden lived up to her name, showing herself to be more of a fighter then a farmer. She loved life on the farm but dreamed of being a knight. Although, only boys could become knights at the time. So, one night, she ran away from home and hid in the woods. There, she made her own sword, calling it Lightning. When she reached the proper age, Kayden cut her blonde hair and disguised herself as a boy. At birth, her middle name had been Rebecca, but Kayden changed it to Red once she ran away and told people it was her first name so no one would suspect she was the missing Kayden Wright. Red trained hard to become a knight and was shown to be a very good one. No one suspected she was a girl and her family soon stopped looking for her, believing she was dead. She was trained with the The Knight Commander and the king. She became good friends with them, but was always closer with The Knight Commander. They became good friends and trained together. He never suspected she was a girl and Red felt a little guilty hiding the truth from him but knew it was necessary. She trained hard and became a very good knight and was sent on many quests.
On one of her quests, she met The King of the Rogue. She had been returning from a quest and had grown weak since she had had to travel through a large blizzard for many days. Her horse at the time, Thunder, had already died from the cold and Red was close to death with she found The King of the Rogue. He, luckily, allowed her to stay with him until she recovered. Normally, Red would have pushed on, being too stubborn to rest, but even she knew she would die if she continued. She stayed with him for a while, recovering. During that time, he discovered that she was a girl. At first, Red was worried, afraid he might tell the others, but he promise dot keep it a secret. At that time, eh was the only one that knew she was a girl. Once she was strong enough, he began to train her in the arts of fist fighting. Red was excellent with a sword and shield, but had never been trained int eh art of fist fighting before. It was a tiring experience but she soon learned how to properly defend herself without a sword. She left once her training was complete but visited The King of the Rogue whenever she could. He became a very good friend to her, helping her and giving her advice.
When she was fifteen, Red was knighted Knight of Trebond, her home fief. During the ceremony, she decided it was time and revealed to everyone that she was a woman. They were shocked at first, some wanted her to be sent away while others believed she had the right to stay. The ceremony was stopped the higher men went off to discuss what would be done to her. Red, Kayden, went first to her friend, The Knight Commander, and explained to him, in great detail why she had done it. Unlike other knights, he understood and treated her the same way he had the past years. others now looked down on her, despite all she had done. They didn't believe a woman had any right to be a knight, even if Red had shown she was as good as all of them. A week pasted before the decision was made. it was announced in front of everyone that Red would be allowed to stay and was knighted Lady Knight of Trebond. Red was honored and, after a few months, was accepted by almost all the others again. Some still refereed to her as Red while others now called her Kayden. She continued to visit the King of Rogues, seeking his guidance and help. Kayden never saw her parents again in her life. When she left years ago, was the last time she ever saw them. She knew her father was killed in battle when she was twelve but she always believed her mother and brothers were alive. She was shocked when she went back home, a year after being knighted, to find the house destroyed and her family buried underneath a large oak tree. Kayden quickly left and returned to her duties as a knight. She soon realized that she had a powerful magic gift and trained herself to use it. When she was sixteen, she raised a palomino mare form birth after the mother died a month after the foal was born. Kayden named the foal Moonlight and trained her. Once the mare was old enough, Kayden started to use her for fighting. Moonlight was a very good warhorse but also very calm and gentle. Kayden and the mare share a great bond. She was still good friends with The Knight Commander and The King of the Rogue but nothing more. Some of the woman she had gotten to know after revealing herself to be a woman, often spoke of marriage and men but Kayden had no interest in any of. She had no room for relationships in life and didn't need a man to complete her. She was perfectly fine the way she was. She had two great friends, her wonderful horse, Moonlight, a powerful magic gift, and the rank of knight. What more could a girl want? ➸ 「 controlling the A D V E N T U R E 」

Her father left when she was very young and her mother died of a deadly sickness when Ani was five. Ever since then, Ani has been alone. Unable to afford her home, she was left to die on the streets with nothing but what little belongs she had. Her family had been terribly poor and had had no friends at all. Once her mother was gone, Ani was left alone. she lived on the streets for a long time, stealing food form stands and living in deserted streets and abandoned houses. it was a hard life but Aditi managed to make it through. She was an outsider to everyone, some people didn't even look her in the eye. She learned not to expect help from people and learned to hide her emotions so no one would know what she was feeling. She never stayed in one place for long and was constantly on the move. During her time on the streets, the young girl befriended a group of sparrows that followed her everywhere and helped her.
When she reached the age, Aditi began to train to be a knight. It took much convincing but she managed to get in, even as a girl. She refused to hide her identity and wore dresses when she wasn't training so everyone would see she was a girl. She was an outcast, like always. No one accepted her and she didn't trust anyone there. She trained hard and impressed everyone with her skills. She was very good with a sword but showed to be excellent with a glaive. She trained very hard but they made her probationer. Ani was furious. She was just good as the other boys but she was being held back! She still hasn't forgiven her training master, Lord Wyldon, and the king for putting her on probation. When she was twelve, she bought a young filly from a man and named her Hoshi. The bay mare and the girl grew very close but Hoshi was never a war horse. She would fight for Ani but was more a riding horse then a war horse. Aditi loved the mare anyways and took good care of her.
After some time, a few years, Aditi was finally assigned to a man to be trained to become a knight. She respected her knight-master and learned quickly. Her master, The Knight Commander, taught her very well and she moved up the ranks quickly but he still remained her master and she still remained his apprentice. Aditi didn't mind, as long as she was training to become a knight. When she was fifteen, Ani found a old war dog abandoned on the city streets. Her master told her to leave it but Ani couldn't. Secretly, she nursed the dog back to health and named him Jump. He was a very strong dog and, despite his appearance, is fairly young and has a lot of life left in him. Ani trained the dog and he became her partner in battle. The two were a good pair and Jump proved to be a very experienced war dog. He ended up saving Ani's life multiple times and Ani saved his life many times as well. She continued her training and showed her master what she could do. She was glad he didn't hold her back because she was a girl so their relationship was a good one. Aditi respected him greatly and also cared about him. She would risk her life to protect him.
When she was eighteen, she found a badly beaten and abused strawberry roan mare tired up in the woods left to die. The mare extremely vicious and tried to attack Ani multiple times. Luckily, the mare was okay with Hoshi and was comfortable with the mare. While the abused mare was distracted with Hoshi, Ani slipped a halter around the mare's head and removed the bloody rope from around her neck. The mare lashed out instantly, landing a few good kicks and bites on Ani and Hoshi. Although, the mare was weak and quickly stopped the struggle as her energy faded. Ani took her back to the stables and put her in a stall next to Hoshi. She named the mare Peachblossom and nursed the mare back to health. It was a terribly slow process since, at first, the mare wouldn't even allow Ani into her stall. After many months, Peachblossom's wound shad healed and her strength had returned. The mare was still young but, after som research, Ani discovered that she had been a great war horse until her rider died and left the horse to his son. The boy had been the one to abuse the mare and force her to become violent. Ani was determined to ride Peahcblossom and ride her into battle for she could tell the mare still loved to fight. Every time the knights were called out for something, Peachblossom would p***k her ears, whinny, and kick at the door. Ani eased the mare into training, but by then, Peachblossom trusted Aditi fully since the girl saved her life. The mare let Ani get on her right away and showed the girl just what she could do. The mare was a top war horse and knew what she was doing. Half the time, Ani let Peachblossom do what she wanted during training session. Although, the mare still didn't trust anyone expect Ani. She even tried to attack The Knight Commander many times. So, Ani doesn't let anyone get near the mare and is fully in charge of the mare's care. As she grew older, Ani began to develop strong feelings for her master, The Knight Commander. She would anything for him and cares for him deeply. Though, he is so high up in the ranks that she doubts he will ever look at a outcast like her. ➸ 「 controlling the A D V E N T U R E 」

rabella was born into a rich family and was definitely daddy's little princess. She always got what she wanted just by batting her eyes. She had charm and she wasn't afraid to use it if necessary. Her mother had beauty along with a brilliant magical Gift that was passed on to her. She uses her Gift mainly to make things the way she wants them to be. Like decorating a room or creating a whole new outfit. She is very skilled with her magic and everyone knows. Though none of them believe she could be any good at combat. Even though she learned to weild a war hammer in her defense training. Maybe she's not the best, but she also shows no mercy to her enemies. She was raised not to let people walk all over her and in order to do so, she made people fear her. When she went to the University, it didn't take too long for her to make friends. The Warmage was her very first friend and he's always been there for her ever since. He always took the fall for the pranks they pulled and she always tried to make it up to him. Though she never noticed the Warmage as much as the Blackmage. She loved the Blackmage and she wasn't the one to handle rejection especially since there were already so many men waiting in line to court her. None of them were as interesting as the Blackmage though. But she gave up on him after she graduated as a crimson robe since she knew he would always be too busy with his magic to even acknowledge her presence. She wasn't shocked when she found out her magic was only one level under his. He was her mentor, but there were things she taught herself just to impress him yet it was never enough.
So she went on to do what she loved best. She became a proper young woman and joined into the Crown's service with the Warmage. Over her time working for them, she became close to the Queen and her daughters. She just knows how to keep a smile on her face and do as she's told. She was given the job of head decorator and she organizes all the social events that go on in the palace. It made her happy at times to see people enjoying her fine work, but the Warmage could always put a real smile on her face when they'd pull pranks on any of the guests they didn't like. She knows the Warmage will always take the blame and she always says she'll repay him. Yet she'll somehow forget and he'll always forgive. She doesn't think anything of it though. She believes he doesn't care and it's not a problem. Though she's more focused on her reputation. Ever since she was employed as head decorator, everyone began to believe she was nothing more than a girly girl. Someone who needed people to protect her instead of her protecting them. And she hates it. There are days when she feels completely useless because she knows no one even needs her. Or at least they think they don't need her. She tries her best to not care and to just keep smiling and pretending like everything's ok. Why should she complain with the life she has? It's absolutely perfect in the eyes of others. ➸ 「 controlling the A D V E N T U R E 」

His father was a knight, and Will knew he was going to follow in his father's footsteps. He had no magical Gift, but his strength was nearly an equivalent. He was always a large boy, always out wrestling his friends. He grew up being taught by his father, Sir Myles, to ride, fight with a sword, joust, and most imnportantly, the knight's code of honor- chivalry. Will took to jousting like there was nothing to it. His strength and size made his almost unbeatable. Will was proud of who he was, and his father sent him to the palace to train to be a knight.
Will was the largest page there. He was a year older than the prince, Jonathan, and a year older than the Lioness, Red. The Lioness was a boy when Will first knew him. Will became good friends with Jonathan and Red, and also became good friends with Gary, the now head advisor to the king. Will was the easygoing, quick to joke page that made everyone laugh. He himself had a roaring laugh that always made his eyes dance. His green eyes were always dancing, a constant good humored shine in them. His pagedom wasn't too much to crow about, but it was like any other page's. By the time he was in his last year, he had knocked all the pages, and some squires, from the saddle in his jousting. He was a master with a sword, and could be a fairly good archer.
Squiredom as well, nothing big happened. He was squire to Duke Gareth of Naxen, Gary's father. Duke Gareth was a fighting knight, and had many adventures with Will. Will saw many battles, and his arms show the scars. During one battle, Will was forced to carry two men from the field, and fought off five sword armed men. But it was then when he met his warhorse, Black Drum. Will was battling his way through to get to his knight-master, since it was his first battle, and the duke had told him to stay close. All of a sudden, a booming whinny sliced the air. Many men were taken by surprise, and Will used that opportunity to force through the crowd, toward the whinny. Will shoved past one last swordsman, and there he was- a large black horse was kicking and fighting the men that held him with ropes. The wild stallion was fighting, biting, kicking, and knocked one man's skull in. Will stared on in awe. All of a sudden, three of the men that held the horse fell dead. The horse kicked the last man and ran off, and Will followed. The large squire leapt up a tree, since it was faster than running. Leaping through the trees like a monkey would, Will finally got above the stallion. He dropped down at just the right moment and landed on the stallion's back, wrapping his large and well muscled arms around the horse's neck. The black horse fought, rearing and bucking and snapping and Will's arms, but the boy hung on for dear life. The horse finally bolted- right out into the fighting! Duke Gareth's horse reared, letting Will's knight-master catch sight of his squire hanging on for dear life to a wild stallion. The horse's eyes rolled and the two were off again! Thundering through the fighting, the black horse's powerful hooves struck down innumerable enemies. Suddenly, a rope caught around the horse's neck and stopped it. Breathless, Will slid off and grasped the horse's nose. The boy looked around and spotted a fallen horse; he grabbed it's bridle, slid it off, and put it on the black horse. The horse took the bit quietly. Will figured it had been a warhorse, from the way it had been trained and took the bridle. Will remounted, reins in hand, and turned the horse. This time the horse complied willingly, ears pricked and ready to go. With a war cry, the older squire rode into the fighting, bareback, striking down enemy soldiers with his sword and new warhorse. He named the horse Black Drum, after the way his whinny boomed.
Will's Ordeal of Knighthood was on that same day- two years later. He went in a boy, but came out, sweaty, pale, and exhausted- a knight. He was then knighted Sir William of Mindelan, also Lord William. As a gift from his knight-master, Will recieved a stunning chesnut gelding with a fiery temper. As his temper was, Will named him Tempest. Tempest means both noble and mean tempered, and the gelding was both. Will had come to like geldings, though many knights rode stallions as a symbol of their position. But in war, stallions take one look at a mare and they're off. Will's knight-master knew this, and Will recieved another horse- an plenty of tack to go with it. Tempest was fully armored with the best armor in the realm, and a new set was given to him for Drum on his birthday. Will used Drum as his warhorse, but used Tempest as his riding and scouting horse, since the Thoroughbred was astonishingly fast, agile, and strong. As a knight, the king sent him on many missions- but he was also forced to go to many social events. But Will absolutely hated social events. He was too big to be graceful on his feet, and he was clumsy! He couldn't strike up an engaging conversation with proper ladies- unless it was about war or tournament games. Will soon found an escape to the social events, much to the dislike of the king. He was appointed Knight Commander of the King's Own, taking soldiers to different fiefs and sorting out issues. As a knight, he went on many adventures. He came back a year later, to see his friends Red and Prince Jonathan knighted, and was taken by not entirely complete surprise when Red revealed she was a girl. But Will didn't care about her sex- she was an excellent fighter, boy or girl. He was infuriated when he found out that people doubted her and misjudged her, but never left her side as a friend. He was always there for her, joking around with her or mock battling with her in the joust or fencing. He was proud of his friend, the first lady knight in history. He never abandoned her, like many others did. The prince was a bit wary, but soon chose her to be the King's Champion, the realm of Tortall's best fighter. He never had any romantic feelings toward her, but she will always be one of his two best friends- Red and Aditi. Three years later, he took a squire- a female one. Her name was Aditi. Ani, for short. Will enjoyed Ani's company, and her animals as well. Her sparrows were great spies, and her dog, Jump, was just like a four legged soldier. Surprisingly, Drum, now a gelding, got along with her two mares, Peachblossom and Hoshi. Before that, Drum was the head of the herds. He was mean and vicious, but a great warhorse! Will took Ani on all his missions, which also meant he had to teach her about accounting for armies and supplies. He helped her with many of her problems, but he never got out of stupid social events. To this day, he still hates them.
But all too soon Ani's Ordeal of Knighthood came. Sadly, Will lost his only squire to be a knight. He was very proud of her, but it still hurt because they were such good friends. But Will never married. Many persistent mothers had come after him, but he enjoyed being a jolly bachelor. He didn't want to marry and become a father and have to run his fief, yaddah yaddah yaddah. He liked adventure! However, Will had started to develop feelings for his former squire, Ani. She's different, a lot more different from the proper ladies. Will liked her because she was a warrior, not some princess. He hasn't admitted to anything, nor shown anything. But he can't help but wonder if she feels the same. ➸ 「 controlling the A D V E N T U R E 」

The Wildmage
╚══════════════╝
A sleek golden eagle glided from the pale blue skies of Tortall, descending toward the dark gray flagstones of King Jonathan's and Queen Krysta's castle in Corus, the capital. The eagle circled once, calling it's scream over the castle walls and to all the animals. It's murderous black beak pointed toward a closed window, and it's sleek wings carried it swiftly toward the window. Growling curses, it landed on the windowsill and attempted to open the window with its talons. Exasperated, the eagle re-shaped it's wings to human hands. The hands cranked open the window, then fluttered in with it's hand reshaped to wings. It fluttered up, grasped the velvet red curtains in it's black beak, and pulled the curtains shut. It landed awkwardly on the floor, then teetered over to the closet in the large bedroom. The eagle than transformed into a girl about nineteen years of age with sandy brown hair and kind brown eyes. The girl shivered; despite the curtain, a breeze blew through the window to strike her bare body. Quickly, she grabbed a pair of tan breeches and a pale blue blouse, pulling them on. She tucked the blouse into her breeches, fastening it with her knife belt. She then grabbed a pair of brown suede calf high boots and pulled them on over her breeches. She pulled on a leather jerkin (like a vest) and fastened it in front. Lastly, she grabbed her hairbrush and ran it through her soft brown hair, then tied it with a plain piece of ribbon into a neat ponytail. She grabbed her longbow, it's string, and a couple arrows, some regular, some griffin fletched. The young woman preferred griffin fletched arrows in battle, since they practically flew themselves. However, griffin feathers were hard to come by. They were sold for very high prices, and the young woman only had then because of her relationship with animals, mortal and immortal alike. The feathers were gifts from griffins themselves.
Once she checked her equipment, the girl whistled. Out from an adjoining room strolled a four foot tall blue and gray scaled dragon, with keen blue eyes and a two foot long tail. The girl smiled as the dragon chirped a greeting, and patted the dragon's head. "Have a good nap there, Kitten?" the girl asked with a smile. The dragon, Kitten, butted her head against the girl's hip affectionately in reply, and trilled cheerfully. The girl laughed and pulled open the large maplewood door. She let Kitten wander out first, then followed. She turned to close the door and locked it, tucking the key inside her breeches pocket. She stopped to admire the golden nameplate carved into the door: it read 'Natiri Frost'. The girl smiled, fingering her silver badger's claw that hung around her neck. Natiri had gotten it from the badger god that was looking after her at her father, Wieryn's, request. Her father, the hunting god, wasn't allowed to visit Natiri for the moment, being that he'd taken her into the Divine Realms- the realm of the gods.
Natiri turned from her door, then began strolling down the numerous polished wood floor hallways. She navigated through servants' quarters, the armory, and the kitchen, avoiding being stuffed with food by the cooks, no less. She and Kitten finally made it to the courtyard exit, the closest to the stable. Natiri pushed the door open, letting Kitten and herself out. She broke into a jog, bow in hand, quiver on her back, towards the stables. The elegant wooden building- with fire retardant spells on it- had five exits, over 100 stalls, and 15 tack rooms. Not to mention the numerous hostlers and stableboys. Natiri entered the stable to be greeted by the many whickers of excitement and greetings, and the occasional beg for treats. Natiri greeted each and every horse in turn, patting and rubbing them. She lingered longer at the Lioness's horse, Moonlight, the Knight Commander's horses, Black Drum and Tempest, and the Protector of the Small's horses, Peachblossom and Hoshi. Finally, Natiri recognized her favorite whinny. It came from a roomy stall by the water fountain, and a gray mare stuck her head out. Natiri rubbed the mare, murmuring to her. "Hey Cloud. Whaddya say we take a ride around the grounds?" The mare, Cloud, chewed on a haystalk thoughtfully. She then snorted, and Natiri let the mare out of her stall. The mare eyed her doubtfully. I can open my own stall, thank you, Cloud mind-spoke to Natiri. The girl rolled her eyes and waved to the chief hostler, Stefan, and then hopped nimbly onto Cloud's back. Kitten trilled, and then fluttered her still immature wings. Natiri smiled, amused, and Cloud walked out of the stable. Natiri grinned and waved at Sarai, the K'miri Queen's Riders commander. She and Natiri became close friends over the few years Natiri had been at the palace, training with her mentor, Demetri. Thinking of him made her look around, wondering where he was. She smiled at the thought. Knowing Demetri, he was probably somewhere, concocting up some new spell. To take her mind off things, she and Cloud wandered around the grounds, talking to some people and waving to others. Natiri laid on Cloud's neck as the mare wandered into the green pastures, nibbling on grass here and there. Natiri had a special kind of magic, wild magic, she had great company with Kitten, Cloud, and sometimes Demetri, she was living at the palace, her mother was a minor goddess and her father the hunting god, so she herself was a demi-goddess. What more could a girl want?  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh why you look so sad

She sighed as she forced herself to get up and walk over to her window. Her pale hands closed the curtains as she yawned and let her bright blonde hair fall in her face. She had a feeling that today she would either have a lot of work or hardly any work at all. It didn't matter to her though since she knew there was always something for her to do. And even if there wasn't, she could always just spend the day redecorating her room again. She pushed those thoughts aside and went to her closet to find an outift to wear. Her closet was filled with some of the finest clothes from silk to velvet and even a few things with frills. She liked the fancy things though. They could show true beauty and didn't have to worry about feelings or love or anything else Ara thought was completely pointless. The blonde chuckled at the thought and pulled out a velvet dark pink spaghetti strap dress along with matching heels. She slipped off her nightgown and then quickly put the dress on before lacing the heels. She felt herself yawn again and wonder why she bothered even going through this. Every day she would make herself look absolutely gorgeous, not only because she spent her days and nights around the castle, but also because she tries to capture the attention of a man who wouldn't even give her the time of day. She didn't understand Demetri at all. Before she met him, every guy wanted her because of her beauty. Yet Demetri only cared about his power and his magic that he never once even noticed her. But she still thinks about him when she first wakes up and as soon as her head hits the pillow before she falls asleep. He was all she could ever think about and she promised herself to give up on him, but that was easier said than done. She shook her head, trying to clear her mind of every thought as she brushed out her knotted hair in front of her vanity. Once she finished with her hair she began to work on her makeup. She stared at herself in the mirror and groaned. Everything was perfect like always and she knew she would get nothing but compliments on her beauty or jealous comments from petty women. Either way, it was always the same thing.
Everyone believed she had the perfect life. She lived in the castle with her own room, was able to attend every ball since she was the one who worked so hard on them to make them wonderful, was beautiful in every way possible, and could have almost any man she wanted. Though Ara didn't believe her life was perfect at all. It was hard work arranging balls or setting up for royal meetings and it wasn't that easy for her to get any guy she wanted because the guy she does want obviously doesn't want her. And as for her beauty, she didn't see the point in it. It's only made her life a complete mess and she would give anything to get rid of it. Unfortunately, life just didn't work that way. You couldn't just wish for anything you wanted and expect it to happen. Though it seemed like whenever she needed her best friend, he would always show up as if he knew he was needed. That was one of the things she loved about the war mage. He was always there for her and could always make her smile even if it was just a smile she had carved on her face to pretend like things were ok. He was the one who would cause trouble with her and always take the blame. She felt bad every time he got in trouble though and she promised to repay him somehow. She just wasn't sure how to make it up to him though. She sighed at the thought and stood up, heading out of her room to see what was going on inside the castle. She noticed some of the servants seemed to be rushing around trying to get things done which meant something big was going on today. Ara looked at the pink gem that hung around her neck and smiled softly as she knew she could get through today with the help of her magic. She talked to one of the servants to figure out what was going on. They told her that a few guests would be coming today but there was really nothing she needed to do. Ara nodded and waved them off before heading out to the courtyard to see if the fresh air could help her relax.╚══════════════════════════════════════════════.♥.═╝ xxxxx xxxxx

xxxK ayden, or Red, opened her hazel eyes and glanced around the room. The young knight let out a sigh and pushed the covers off the bed. Her sandy blonde hair fell over her eyes slightly and Kayden pushed the stray pieces behind her ear. She stood up and made her way over to her closest. She opened it and pulled out a pair of brown breeches, a gray shirt, and a pair of brown boots. She quickly dressed herself and walked over to a sword leaning against the wall. The blonde haired girl picked up the sword and pulled it from it's holder. The sunlight shone off the silver blade and Kayden made a few quick strikes at the hair with the blade. Along the side of the sword was a word that had been inscribed on it since it had been made. The word read Lightning, the name Kayden had given her sword when she had made it years ago. The woman quickly glanced over her freshly cleaned and sharpened blade before nodding and putting the blade back in it's holder. Strapping the sword to her belt, Kayden made her way the the door of her bedroom. She slipped out into the hallways and walked through the castle, her head high. As she passed by some people that were already awake, she received greeting and nods of the head. She expected that, after all, she was the King's Champion, also known as the king's firsthand knight. She had worked hard for that rank, especially after she had revealed to everyone that she was a woman. It had been hard to gain respect after that but the king had judged her on her skill, not her gender, unlike some other who still disliked her. Though, she had made friends that had stayed with her even after she revealed she was a girl, like her best friend, Will. Red had known Will since they first started training and they had been best friends since day one. He always was there to support her, even after she revealed that she was a woman. She had also become friends with Aditi, who had used to be Will's squire. She had occasionally helped Will train Aditi and the two girls had become good friends. As she passed Aditi's room, Red stopped, knocked loudly, and popped her head in when she got no reply. "Ani? You up?" she asked only to find that her friend was already up and about. Red glanced around her friend's room for a few more seconds before shutting the door and continuing the down the halls.  Instead of heading outside, where she guessed Ani was, Kayden made her way quickly through the halls toward Will's room. She had no idea if her friend was up yet or not but, if he was asleep, it was about time he was up. She stopped next to Will's door and pounded loudly. "Will, get up! I'm heading outside to see Moonlight and train," she said, making sure he could hear it through the door in case he was still asleep. Kayden then turned on her heels and quickly made her way outside. She walked out into the morning air and took a deep breath. She nodded to a few other knights as she headed for the stables. It was a beautiful building but Red never cared much for beauty. She walked quickly down the aisle, ignoring all the other horses until she came to her horse's stall. She stroked the palomino mare gently and smiled softly. A sharp neigh made her head snap up and she spotted a large strawberry roan horse, with her ears back and nostrils flared, snorting angrily at a girl that had just left her stall door. Red recognized the mare immediately, it was Peachblossom, Aditi's horse and a very vicious horse. The bay mare in the the stall next to Peachblossom, Hoshi, nickered softly to the angry mare and nudged her neck softly. Sometimes, it seemed to Red that only Hoshi or Aditi could calm Peachblossom down. Once the mare seemed semi-calm, Red glanced toward the girl that had angered her and recognized Natiri with her horse, Cloud. The young knight nodded in greeting to the other girl before heading into a tack room to get Moonlight's tack. She grabbed the mare's equipment and returned to her horse. Placing the tack down, Kayden led Moonlight out of her stall and tied her up in the aisle before she began to get the mare ready. She had been with Moonlight for a few years now and the two got along well. They both loved to ride into battle but it seemed that Moonlight was much wiser and less reckless than Kayden. The mare nudged Red's arm gently and nickered softly. The young knight smiled at the mare and began to tack her up. It only took Red a few minutes to get her horse tacked but she decided to wait for Will or Aditi to show up before going anywhere. Moonlight pawed the ground impatiently and snorted, tossing her head. Red smiled and patted her mare's neck. The young knight let up a sigh and sat down on the stable floor, leaning against the wall. She hoped her friends would get here soon since one of the things Red hated was waiting. She had been impatient since she was a little kid and still was. She loved action and hated standing around and waiting.

Oxxxuxxxtxxxgxxxoxxxixxxnxxxg Lord William of Mindelan, the Knight Commander of the King's Own, opened his eyes to darkness. He usually rose before dawn to practice on his own with his sword. The burly blonde haired man swung himself out of bed with a grunt, shaking his head. He stood, almost slipping in the darkness. Then he remembered that his friend, Demetri, had equipped all the castle rooms with clap on candles. How he did it, Will had no clue. But this was the Black Mage we were talking about, after all. Will grinned and clapped his hands, his room lighting up. Not too bright, but enough to see. Will sauntered over to his closet, and grabbed a pair of olive green breeches, a pale silver shirt, and a royal blue tunic. Normally he'd only wear the shirt and breeches, but he had a meeting in the morning with the king. Will slipped on his black boots, not too heavy but durable as well. Will grabbed his sword sheath, pulling out the gold hilted blade. He tested it's sharpness; it fair well sliced his finger open. Will grinned and squeezed the wound, cutting off the blood flow. He then ignored the small cut. He shok his head, his earlobe length blonde hair sweeping behind his ears. He ran his fingers through it, finger combing it, and then started to practice.
He feigned left, then parried right. He performed an overhead swoop, powerful enough to cleave an unaware or unready man in two. Will then spun in a ferocious twist, then ran his ghost enemy through. Leaning on his desk, he wasn't even panting after a complicated and intense pattern dance like that. Will grinned and slipped his sword back into it's sheath. He strapped his sword on just as he heard Red's voice. He chuckled, thinking. Him not be up already? Yeah, right! Will grabbed his bow and quiver of arrows, some goose-fletched, some griffin-fletched. He then grabbed his key strap and hung it overhis neck. Turning, he opened his door and sauntered out. The laid back Knight Commander whistled a merry tune, greeting servants and maids and butlers on his way out. Even he knew better than to keep the Lioness waiting. Just thinking of his best friend made him smile. Will pushed open the doors to the palace, the side doors leading toward the stable. He was always eager to see his horses, Black Drum and Tempest.
Will pulled a side door of the stable open. He was greeted by two deep whinnies. Grinning, he walked around a corner into the center aisle. That's where all the regal horses were kept. Will's horses, Natiri's mare, Red's mare, Ani's horses, and the king and queen's horses were kept. Will patted Black Drum, a large black Freisian gelding with a laid back attitude but vicious in the battlefield. The horse next to him, a chestnut gelding still, was more of a speed horse than a war horse. Will used Tempest for his scout riding, and Drum for his war riding. Either way, he loved his animals more than life itself. He was greeted by a loud bark down by his feet. Will smiled and bent down to greet the border collie stable dog, company to the chief hostler Stefan. Will waved to Stefan, then his gaze met Red's. He grinned impishly at her, then grabbed his tilting saddle and Drum's bridle. "Red, whaddya say to some jousting?" Will asked. More like teased, really. While the Lioness was the best swordsman- or swordswoman- in the land, Will was the best jouster. He had gone undefeated. But sometimes, his friends would tilt with him for fun and practice. Will slipped into Drum's stall, the burly man fitting the burly horse perfectly. Drum nosed Will for treats, and then pricked his ears when he saw the saddle. Will didn't need Natiri to know what his gelding thought. When Natiri arrived at the palace, all the animals got smarter. Heck, the horses even broke up a page fight! Will grinned at the memory. Three bully pages had gotten into a fight with a younger page. Not wanting to run away, the younger one fought back, and HARD. The horses had opened their stalls and broke it up, dragging the boys back. Will ran a hand over Drum's back, knowing Stefan groomed the regal horses himself. Just to be sure, Will flicked a brush over Drum. The black gelding stood perfectly still as the saddle was settled on and the cinches were fastened. The breast collar was attached snugly, than the horse's over-saddle armor was fastened on. Will only used it in battle and for jousting. He slipped the bridle onto Drum's head, the bit in his mouth. The blonde haired well muscled man looped the reins over Drum's head, then led him out. Well, more like Will walked out and Drum followed. Will grabbed his lance and also the Lioness's, just in cas eshe wanted to join him. He stopped by her mare's stall and leaned over the door, while Drum nosed Stefan for treats. "Jon called a meeting around midday for his advisors. We're discussing Flindan and his latest screw-ups," Will spat, the words distasteful in his mouth. The usual goofy and easygoing man hated Flindan with a passion. Will then regained his easy to get along with mood, then shot Red a grin. He turned and jogged outside, lance and shield in hand. Drum followed, after finding Stefan had nothing. Will waved to Natiri, who was at the stable door, staring into the stable. She seemed to have a concentrated look on her face, as she always did when she talked with the animals. Will strode to the tilting ring and mounted up, easily settling into the saddle. He set his lance against the fence and hung his shield on it, then nudged Drum forward. The large draft horse strode forward with a tremendously long stride, his steps sure but fancy. Will warmed up his warhorse by walking, trotting, loping, galloping, and running him. He saved the charge command for when he jousted. Charge was used when Will wanted to go as fast as he could, as hard as he could. It was great to have a powerful horse underneath you, especially. But hey, Will was undefeated. Will moved with his horse as if he were part of the horse, like a centaur. Will slowed Drum to a light jog around the ring, circling the dummies that served as page tilting practice.

xxxMoonlight nickered as Will came into the stable, her ears pricked toward the boy. The palomino mare had always liked the young man almost as much as she liked Red. Red smiled and patted Moonlight's neck gentle. The blonde haired girl turned around and looked at Will as he asked about jousting. She had tried to beat him so many times but he always won. Though Red wasn't jealous, since she crushed him every time they sparred. So she didn't mind being beaten in jousting, Moonlight wasn't all that big about jousting either. The mare had never liked charging straight toward a bid pole, though she was perfectly fine charging into battle. Though, she would do it if Kayden asked her to. Kayden smiled and leaned against the stable wall and sighed. She knew it would be fun to do some jousting, even if she ended up on the ground but then she'd want to spar with Will later, just to get a little revenge. Red smiled at the thought and took her lance from Will. "Alright, Will, I'll joust with ya, but we are sparring once we are done," she said with a smiled and leaned her lance against Moonlight's stall. She left her horse's stall and headed to get her shield before returning to moonlight and slipping the bridle onto the mare. She gazed at her shield, which was decorated with a beautiful picture of a lioness. it fit her since her nickname within the kingdom was The Lioness, due to her fierceness and strength. As Will mentioned a meeting about Flindan, Red couldn't hold back a snort of disgust. She hated the man almost as much as Will but she knew Aditi hated him the most out of the three of them. After all, the stupid young knight had been all over her and wouldn't leave her alone. Red had stayed by her friend and remembered beating Flindan up in the courtyard when he wouldn't leave Ani alone. Though Kayden had gotten in major trouble for attacking a fellow knight, it had been worth it. No one messed with her friend. No one. She, honestly, believed Flindan didn't deserve to be a knight, when he wasn't messing with Ani, he was constantly screwing up. What was this, like meeting number 200 about his screw-ups? When was the king going to kick him out? Though Red doubted that would be soon, since Flindan always seemed to have some sort of good (stupid) excuse that got him a little slack. Kayden let out a sigh and grabbed her lance and shield. She double checked Moonlight's tack before opening the stall door and walking out. Moonlight followed close behind the girl and snorted. Red spotted Natiri outside the stable but, seeing she was deep in thought, didn't bother her. Moonlight pricked her ears when she saw the girl and her horse, Cloud, and neighed happily. Red glanced to the left and spotted a familiar figure walking toward the stable. "Hey, Ani! Will and I are heading over for some jousting, you should come," she called to her friend before heading into the tilting ring and rested her lance and shield next to Will's before mounting. She let Moonlight have a loose rein, letting her warm up, before shorting them and asking her for a trot. Moonlight pricked her ear and elegantly stepped into the trot. Even though she was a warhorse, Moonlight still had a beautiful elegance to her. Kayden moved her horse into a lope and then a gallop before asking her to return to a walk. The girl moved well with Moonlight, not as well as Will or Aditi, but she still was able to move with the palomino mare. The mare flicked her ears back and forth and glanced over at Black Drum. She nickered a greeting to the black gelding.
Red sighed and glanced up at the sky, waiting for Will to finish warming up Drum. The Lioness patted Moonlight neck and smiled over at Will. Hopefully Aditi would come and join them. The knight was still young, she was only made a knight less then a year ago, but she showed poteintion and Peachblossom was a fearless horse. During a fake battle for practice, Red had watched the mare charge, alone, into a large group of "enemies" without any hesitation. The mare, though violent, showed that she was a fearless warhorse and wouldn't back down or run away, even Aditi sometimes struggled with the mare. Red smiled at the thought of Peachblossom and her friend. They were a great pair, though that was probably due to the fact that Ani had saved the strawberry roan mare from death. Kayden shivered as she remembered what Peachblossom had looked like when she had first arrived. She had been all skin and bones with terrible gashes over her body and a terrible rope mark but she was still fighting, and hard. She had injured many stable hands in her first days here and only Aditi was able to touch her, though the mare had still lashed out at her too. Peachblossom had healed well and now showed no sign of her past life but her vicious temper didn't leave. Red still wasn't able to go near the horse with her letting out a angry cry and ramming into the stall door. Red smiled and shook her head before glancing toward Will once again.

Oxxxuxxxtxxxgxxxoxxxixxxnxxxg The burly man galloped Drum around the ring once more, pulling (barely) his black warhorse to a stop. The gelding tossed his head and reared in pride, he picture of pride and fury. But the kind of fury that fueled bravery, and the kind of bravery that won battles. Will nodded at Red, then tightened his breastplate and gauntlets and the rest of his armor. All knights had to wear armor when jousting; it was dangerous if you didn't. Will had seen men die because they chose to wear no armor when jousting. And making that mistake made with Will was deadly. Will winked deviously at Red and leaned down and grabbed his shield. His shield was the Mindelan coat of arms; a gray owl on a pale blue field. The same shade of gray that was the owl bordered the field. To make it Will's own, it had a black lining through the gray border and a strip of dark blue inside the border. Will shouldered it, then grabbed his blue and gray swirled lance. He hoisted it into the crook of his arm, then pointed it up. His lance was heavier than most; it was weighed with lead. There was at least ten pounds more on his lance than others, as to keep him in practice and strengthen his arms. Like he needed strengthening; he could easily knock a three hundred pound man across a ring, sending him flying. But Will would never brag; he was a modest and carefree fellow. But when it came to his friends, he'd die for them. All of them. The king, the queen, Red, Aditi, Natiri, and Demetri. Will steered Drum onto the jousting field, with a wooden barrier seperating the two lanes. Drum positioned himself automatically; the black horse LOVED jousting!
Will pulled his shield onto his right arm, locking it into place. The brawny man set his lance into the crook of his left arm, leveling it parallel with Drum's withers. Will only wore a breastplate, arm protectors, thigh protectors, and gauntlets. He wore no helmet, since it was only practice. He shook his jawbone length hair out of his face, his brown eyes locked in amusement and concentration. Will adjusted himself in the saddle, settling his back into the padded high back of the tilting saddle. Will stared down the lane, imagining the joust. He would rise at the right moment and thrust his lance, while Drum was pounding down. With a crash, Red would pop from the saddle and land on her back. Will grinned; it happened that way all the time, no matter what knight he jousted against. He'd even popped the king free. Being friends, they laughed it off. But there was another part with Red. Her deal was when they jousted, he'd spar with her. And then he'd get crushed. While Will was an amazing swordsman, he wasn't a hair as good as Red. Red was nimble and fast, and a truly great swordswoman. She truly deserved the title of King's Champion. Will was the best jouster in the land, and one of the best swordsman, but Red was better. Red always crushed him in sparring, just like he crushed her in jousting. But being best friends, they always got along and laughed it off. Will grinned and tightened his grip on Drum's reins, grabbing a handful of black mane as well. No matter how good a rider he was, Drum's charge could throw any unsuspecting rider. Will knew better than to get cocky; Drum's charge would throw him clear back, high back of the saddle or not. Will knew Drum wouldn't intentionally do it, but his gelding loved competition and tilting as much as his master did. Will gripped the reins and mane in one hand, then waited for Red to be ready. Once she was ready as well as Will, Drum snorted, staring down the lane as his master.
"Charge," Will murmured, barely audible. As thunder in a storm, Drum leapt forward, his massive hooves striking the earth in a dead run that could penetrate the earth. Will was whiplashed backward, but recovered soon enough. Will leanded forward, his lance aimed at Red's lioness shield. His own owl shield was guarding his torso, all the strength in his right arm guarding it. Drum thundered on, his black head down and his speed lightning fast and as powerful as the roaring seas in a thunderstorm. Will rose in the saddle at the perfect moment, shoving his lance forward. It met Red's shield with a crash as the two lances met shields. Will had put enough force behind his blow to pop Red from the saddle, but she could have somehow evaded it. Either way, his lance was shattered. Red could go flying, or they could give it another go. . .

Aditi Storm
((I'm still working on Ani's posting style))
The young woman sat peacefully in the field, the wind gently blowing her long brown hair. She had been up before anyone else, just wanting to get time alone. The field behind the castle was her secret spot, no one, other then her friends and herself, knew about it. It was very peaceful and the woman was able to forget about all her troubles, if only for a few moments. She took a deep breath and glanced over at the German Shepard sitting at her side. The dog wagged his tail happily and barked, standing up quickly. The young woman, known as Aditi Storm or Ani for short, smiled at her dog, Jump, and stood up calmly. Her brown hair blew in the wind and Aditi pushed the long brown strands out of her eyes. Jump stood at her side, tongue out and tail wagging. Ani let out a sigh and rested her hand on the dog's head. She had been so excited a few months ago when she had made a full knight, like her best friends Will and Red, but then things had gotten... complicated in more ways then one. The Queen kept asking her about men she would be interested in courting and was always trying to get her into social events. Aditi had never shown any interest in social events or courtships but, according to the Queen, she was of the age when those things started. Oh joy! She couldn't help but envy her friend, Red, who wasn't bothered by the Queen about stuff like that as much. It was probably because Kayden scared off any suitors but it was better then being put through the tortuous events. Then there was Will, her other best friend, who, unknown to anyone, she had started to develop strong feelings for. She had originally been his paige, which was how she had become friends with him and Red, but, over the past months, it had developed into something more. Though, she was able to hide her feelings well since Will probably had many other woman interested in him and why would be want anything to do with a girl that grew up on the streets. Then, finally, there was Flindan, a young knight a few years older then Ani. In her mind, he was a jerk but he seemed interested in her. She constantly spotted him watching with her all the time. Honestly, it freaked Aditi out but she had been able to handle it. She had mentioned it to her friends once and Red then beat Flindan up really well, but he still wouldn't take a hint. After Red beat up Flindan and got in trouble, Aditi stopped mentioning that Flindan was still watching her to them. She didn't want them to get into trouble for her. Though, the last few weeks, it had gotten worse and worse. It was almost like everywhere she looked, he was there watching her.
A wet nose brushing against her hand broke Ani from her thoughts and she glanced down at Jump, smiling. "It's nothing, Jump, just thinking," she said as the dog whimpered slightly. She ran her fingers through her hair before heading off at a brisk walk toward the stable. She had heard that there was going to be a meeting later on Flindan's latest mistakes, that would surely be interesting. Aditi pushed the young knight out of her mind and turned her thoughts to her two horses, Hoshi and Peachblossom. Hoshi was about seven years old and was a bay Arabian while Peachblossom was four and a strawberry roan mustang. Hoshi was more of companion horse while Peachblossom was a pure warhorse. The mustang was always in a bad mood and only Aditi or Hoshi was able to calm her down. Aditi had already groomed the mare since it was impossible for the stable hands to do it, unless they wnated to break an arm or leg. Her thoughts were broken as she heard Red's voice. Ani smiled and nodded before hurrying into the stable, Jump trotting at her side. Hoshi nickered from her stall while Peachblossom threw her head up and snorted. She tossed her head in both happiness and anger. Ani remembered the day she had found Peachblossom, tied up to a tree in a forest. She had almost been starved to death and had been badly abused. Now, Peachblossom was the model of pure health and strength. At times, the mare could be an angel but only to Aditi. She had even tried to attack Natiri multiple times. It was strange, since the girl could talk to animals, but it was just how Peachblossom was. Aditi quickly tacked the mare up and clipped a rope to Hoshi's halter before grabbing her shield and lance. The girl lead her horses out of their stalls and walked them out of the stables. Jump, like always, followed directly at Aditi's side, his tail wagging rapidly. Peachblossom let out an angry neigh toward a group of people coming over and the group quickly changed direction. Almost everyone at the castle was scared of the mustang mare ever since she had nearly killed a stable hand for entering her stall. Hoshi nickered softly to Peachblossom and nudged the other mare's neck gently. Peachblossom snorted in respounse but relaxed slightly, her ear still back and nostrils flared. At Jump's bark, Aditi's head snapped toward where the dog was looking and saw none other than Flindan looking over her. He smiled but Ani refused to return it. Instead, she quickly mounted Peachblossom, Lance and shield in hand, and asked the mare to walk on toward the tilting ring.
Aditi arrived just as Will and Red were beginning. She glanced quickly over her shoulder and let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Flindan hadn't followed her. She quickly set her lance and shield down before watching Will and Red. Will was, obviously, the best jouster in the kingdom though Ani had lasted a few rounds against him. Peachblossom wasn't afraid of the lance or charging straight toward it. She was mazing at charging and was constantly pulling at the bit, wondering why she couldn't go faster. Aditi was certain that if she didn't hold Peachblossom back, then the mare would surely run herself to death. At the clash of the lances, Ani's attention snapped back to the joust. They had both gone in well and it looked like Red would have stayed on but Moonlight moved at the last minute, throwing Red off balance right as Will's lance hit her shield. Aditi watched as the blonde-haired girl tumbled onto the dirt with a thud. She glanced at Moonlight, who was still running, and let go of Hoshi's lead before nudging Peachblossom forward. The mare charged forward and cut the palomino mare off within seconds. Ani grabbed the mare's reins and led her back to Red. She smiled at the girl, who was slowly standing up, and held out the reins to her. "How are you?" she asked and tilted her head. Red glanced up at Aditi and smiled at the girl. She calmly took Moonlight's reins and rubbed her arm. "Just peachy," she muttered. Peachblossom snorted angrily and Aditi quickly took the mare away from Kayden. She stroked the mare's neck and whispered softly in her ear, calmly her down. She glanced up as Hoshi and Jump came over to them. She patted Hoshi's neck before glancing toward Will and waving, a smile on her face. "Hey Will, how are you doing this morning?" she asked. He truly was handsome, at least to her, though she couldn't think like that. After all, what chance did she have with him? If she kept fantasizing over him, then she was just asking for her heart to be broken when he went off with someone else. The girl let out a soft sigh and stroked Peachblossom's neck.

The Wildmage
╚══════════════╝
The slender brown haired girl narrowed her eyes at Peachblossom, and Cloud laid her ears back. Kitten barked (dragon bark) angrily, waving her tail in indignance. "Well, Peachblossom, keep acting like that and maybe the next time you hurt yourself and want a healing, I'll turn your insides out!" Natiri mind-spoke to the bad-tempered mare. Natiri was only teasing, though it wouldn't sound like it. Natiri would always heal an animal every chance she got. She was an incredibly caring and kind individual, and even was patient with Flindan, a young knight and mage. However, Natiri was the only one who knew the truth about him. She planned to tell everyone at the meeting with the king today. She was the only one who knew the Queen of Chaos was ressurrected, and she was focusing her power into Flindan so she could rule the Mortal and Divine Realms. The only reason she knew this was because she herself was a demi-goddess, and her father was the hunting god. Natiri shot the rest of the animals a smile and a warm word, then rode Cloud toward the tilting ring.
The gray mare pricked her ears and neighed encouragement to her fellow comrade horses. Natiri smiled; her horse was extremely intelligent. So were all the other palace animals. The horses, birds, dogs, even the rats, to Natiri's distaste. All the animals were more knowledgable since Natiri arrived with her wild magic. Natiri smiled and waved at Ani, then eyed Peachblossom with a challenging stare. Natiri's eye softened when she saw Hoshi, Ani's bay mare. The mare was always so sweet with Peachblossom's temper. Natiri admired the mare for that. Natiri was about to say something to Hoshi when she turned her focus to the jousting ring. She watched the lancing with a wince; she didn't really like the idea of two huge sticks coming together on horseback with only shields. Natiri's brown eyes widened as she saw Moonlight flinch; she knew Moonlight was going to shy, but she couldn't get a warning out fast enough to prevent Red from falling. She hid a smirk behind her hand as she saw the tough woman fall and get back up. Natiri slid off of Cloud and slipped into the ring, walking up to Ani. Natiri took the reins from Ani and stroked Moonlight gently, mind-speaking to Moonlight. "Dear, you're fine. Jousting is just a fun way for two-leggers to beat each other. I don't like it much either, but Red wouldn't let you get hurt. You're a brave soul, you are, but don't let big sticks scare you. Remember Ani's spear-like glaive, or the spears you ride into for battle? Imagine the lances as that, and you won't be so scared," Natiri soothed, her eyes locked with Moonlight's. She patted her once more and handed the reins back to Red with a smile. "I hope she'll be better for you now. She was just scared," Natiri explained with a soft tone of voice. Natiri wasn't a harsh individual, but when her friends or animals came into play, Natiri was no picnic. She could be quite vicious with her magic and longbow. Natiri smiled at Will and waved, mouthing a 'good job' to the knight. Natiri jogged to the outside of the ring again, where she hoisted herself up onto the rail to watch. Cloud came up beside her, her brown eyes thoughtful. You know, if you were a horse, you could show Moonlight what to do, Cloud teased, and Natiri raised an eyebrow at her horse, then shook her head, her brown hair whipping around her face. Natiri stroked her mare, who seemingly shrugged, and went back to grazing lightly. Natiri went back to watching the jousters.
(( If you guys want to, you can have your animals speak back to Natiri, since she can talk with animals. ^^ If you want to, you can. C8 )) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh why you look so sad
