Seventh Daughter of a Seventh Son and a Witch

Friends

It took about a month to get to the fortress. I ran, either on two legs as a human, or on four legs as a wolf. I flew, either using a spell that gave me wings, or as a dragon or a falcon. finally, I reached the fortress. I opened the great oak door, and went in. "She carries a staff!" someone yelled. "The weapon of a Witch! Surround her!" I was quickly surrounded by crossbow wielding guards. "What is your name and what is your business?" the captain of the guard shouted. "My name is Thalia Galadriel Skywalker." I said. "I am the Seventh Daughter of a Seventh Son and a Witch. My mother is Ember Cloven, the one who seized the Ancient Stone of Power from around Esmeralda's neck so she could be captured. She is the reason this world isn't a barren wasteland. Now, with Esmeralda free from her prison, my mother sent me here to embrace my destiny and topple Esmeralda from her throne." "Very well." the captain said. He gave me a piece of parchment with a training schedule and a barrack number on it. "Go put your belongings in your barrack. You start training tomorrow." I nodded, and walked to the barracks. When I got to my assigned room, I saw that one of the beds belonged to someone else. I shrugged, and set my stuff in the closet, then went to the great hall to eat. "Hey! Over here!" someone yelled. I turned to see a girl about three years older than me waving me over to a table. "You can sit with us." the girl said. "I'm Abby Wambach. This is Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Carli Lloyd, Hope Solo, and Kelley O'Hara." "Nice to meet you." I said. "So are you the one who caused all the hubbub this morning?" Hope Solo asked. She was tan, with dark brown hair and ice blue eyes. "Yeah." I said. "I guess that's what happens when you walk into a place like this carrying a staff." "They've become paranoid after the Attack of ten years ago." Alex Morgan said. She had brown hair and ocean blue eyes. "What happened?" I asked. "I don't know exactly." Alex said. "But from all the stories, it was just before Esmeralda was captured. She attacked the fortress, and caused a lot of damage." "Wow." I said. "Are those the only clothes you have?" Megan Rapinoe said. "Oh, and by the way, you can call me 'Pinoe'. Nobody calls me 'Megan', and the trainers all call me 'Rapinoe'." Megan Rapinoe had bright blonde hair and brown eyes. "Yeah, they are." I said. "I kind of left home in a hurry, so I didn't have time to bring more clothes with me." "Well, it's our off day." Abby said. "We can go get more clothes in town after lunch." "Oh, hey!" Alex said. "Cheney, Arod, and Tobin are here!" three girls walked up to our table. "Hey, guys." a girl with curly, reddish-brown hair and blue-green eyes said. "Who's the new girl?" "Thalia Skywalker." Abby said. "She just came." "I see." the curly haired girl said. "I'm Lauren Cheney, but you can just call me 'Cheney'." "I'm Amy Rodriguez." the girl with blonde hair and grey eyes said. "Call me Arod." "i'm Tobin Heath." the girl with brown hair and brown eyes said. "You can call me Tobs." "We're going into town later to get her some clothes." Abby said. "Wanna come with?" "Sure." Cheney said. "I'm in." Arod said. "What about you, Tobs?" "Sure." Tobin said. "Great!" Abby said. "Let's do it!" I looked around at the girls at the table, and I knew that this was the start of a deep bond.
