this is the first chap of my new story ... enjoy
The Gold Dagger
It was a normal day in my parents Manor in London . Until two horrible events that would my life forever . “The Lord of this Manor your father is dead .” cried my mother . Shock over came me as she breath to tell me the next set of news .”And your beloved brother Meric has been killed .” she cried more . The news was unbearable my father and my twin brother both gone forever . I would never see them even after I die because of the legend . If a lords son dies in battle he goes to hell . Though I prayed he would not go there my mother kept repeating it .
I knew in my heart I had to do something . My fathers golden dagger which has been handed down for ages which symbol of my family hung on the wall .That’s when I knew what I had to do . “Mother you haven’t told anyone else of Meric’s death have you ?” I asked . She looked at me utterly confused . “No have you not seen me mourning all day ?” she replied . I stepped in front of the dagger . “ I will not let this family fall to ruin .” I stated taking the dagger down . My mother looked more confused . “Tell no one of my Brothers death FOR I WILL TAKE HIS PLACE !” I yelled tarring out the dagger and slicing my long brown locks to shoulder length .
“Tell the King I will take my fathers place , but before that I have to master a few things out in the country .” I said sounding like my brother . My mother understood now . “I will tell the king , where are you going and what does one tell people about her daughter disappearing ?” asked mother . I thought for but a moment . “ Tell them Lady Mora is visiting family in the country for that will not be a lie .” I said walking out of the room . I packed a few simple things and dressed like my brother and took his mare . And I rode un-lady like . It was easier and more comfortable then side saddle . Also quicker and it took me less then a week to get to the house of my grandmother .
The servant answered the manor door with a smile . “Oh my lord Meric .” she smiled . I smiled and walked in .”Where is my grandmother ?” I asked with a rough voice . The servant inclined to the dinning area . I walked in there and almost scared her to death. “Meric my grandson what is one doing here ?” she asked in a shaky voice . “May I speak to you alone ?” I asked . She nodded and set her servants away . Once I felt we were alone I proceeded . “ I am not your grandson .” I said . Her face took shock and confusion .” I am your granddaughter saving the generations of her family from ruin .” I said softly . My grandmothers face softened . “ I see you are brave my dear .” she replied .
“So may I have your .”I stopped . She smiled .” Use what ever you need my granddaughter .” she replied turning back to her meal . I left the room and headed upstairs for a good night sleep . But that’s not what I got , I was restless and did not sleep through most of the night .The next morning I headed to the forest . I remembered my brothers skills jousting, hand to hand combat , and sword fighting. Jousting I could practice on my own but u was gonna help with the other two . I took my brothers horse out to the field.. Hours on end and I barely hit my target . I headed back . “ I say jousting isn’t your strength .” said my grandmother just looking at me . I laughed a bit . “ No , its not .” I replied . She nodded .” You will find your strength .” she smiled .
I headed to bed ready to try something new tomorrow .I woke up a little dizzy for some reason .
“Morning dear .” greeted my grandmother. I sat up and nodded . “I have a surprise for you .” she smiled . I was confused so I followed her downstairs after I got dressed . “ A little gift from me .” she smiled more . I knight stood there .” Uhhhh thanks?” I said. . My grandmother laughed he’s here to teach you and he’s one of the best .” she said . The knight looked towards me .” An honor Lady Marie .” he smiled . I looked in shock at grandmother .” YOU TOLD HIM ! “ I yelled in panic .”Heh its alright Mi lady your secret is safe with me .” he smiled . “ Your sure of your loyalty .” I asked . He smiled and laughed . “ If I wasn’t I wouldn’t get paid mi lady .” He laughed . I smiled and nodded a bit .
