As Bella made her way back to her quarters , she couldn't help but feel accomplished. She had finally become a knight!!!!
At last she can honour her father's memory and protect the kingdom he loved. Before she could begin loosing herself from her armour, Gerald flew through the doorway. " That was absolutely awesome!!!!"he exclaimed , as he lifted Bella into the air . The sound of metals clashing rang through the air but they were too lost in each others gazes to even care.
Gerald and Bella have been in love since they were seven but after her fathers death, she had focused all of her time on honouring her father's memory by becoming a knight. But at this moment, her heart was yearning for Gerald . Her skin ached for his touch and her eyes were looking into his deep, ocean blue eyes." Snap out of it!!" she reminded herself and right there and then, the moment died.
Breaking the silence, Gerald punched Bella's shoulder plating
and said" You did good.... for a girl!. They both erupted into laughter, which ended the moment the royal guard entered the room. The pair instantly stood at attention knowing that the King would soon enter the room.
"Greetings ,young knights" exclaimed the king as he entered the doorway. The pair quickly bowed in respect and rose to face the king.
"Your majesty, I am glad that you honour my quarters with your presence" Bella said a grin creeping across her face.
"Well the purpose of this visit is not a luxury...in fact I am here with a quest for you two".
"A..A quest sire....we just got on the force" Gerald blurted out. His words were followed by a tap on the back of his head from Bella ,whose eyes held a " are you stupid" kind of look. "What kind of quest sire?" Bella enquired.
"A quest concerning the man who killed your father... Sir Eric"
Bella felt her blood boil like molten lava as she heard those dreadful words. For years she had fantasized about how she was going to kill that demonic archer who had taken her father away from her. The thoughts of skinning the filthy bastard and then boiling his raw flesh in oil began to flood her imagination all over again. She thought she had buried those feelings a long time ago but the bitter truth was that they never left. Her thoughts were interrupted by the words "amour piercers".
"Sire did you say armour piercers?"
" Yes indeed Bella" replied the king. A feeling of heaviness descended on the room as Bella contemplated the matter at hand. After a moment of silence Bella said "We accept".
"Very well..., " the king replied," "You shall be introduced to your team tomorrow ".
Tomorrow would be the beginning of a new legend, the tale of Bella the brave and the the Elite.
