Lydia's Alternate Ending
It had been three days since the foursome had left Arkney for the town of Farfoss, also known as Armina’s Domain. Lunabelle and Claude sung a song that they made up as they walked along the path to their destination.
“♪ We are the Knights of Garthram, brave and strong and true. There’s Ori, Luna, Claude, and there’s Lydia too! And soon there will be more! ♪”
Lydia’s eye twitched with annoyance as she listened; she didn’t like their singing one bit, but she had to put up with it. She looked over at Orion and was surprised to see him humming and stepping along to the tune.
“How can you three be so cheerful,” she hissed, clenching her fists. “My feet hurt and I haven’t slept since we left Arkney!”
The twins and Orion stopped and stared at Lydia, …show more content…
“Apologize.” he snarled.
Lydia narrowed her eyes and smacked his hand away. “Leave me alone, Marci. You might’ve forgiven me, but doesn’t mean that I’ll respect you.” She stomped ahead, kicking up a dust trail behind her.
Lunabelle walked to Orion side and looked up at him. “If it’s any conciliation, Claude and I respect you.” she said kindly but, as if he didn’t hear her, he continued walking down the path.
Claude put a hand on his sister’s shoulder then they followed after their comrades. They soon came upon their next destination, Farfoss. As they approached, they could hear cheering and laughter, for it was the first day of a grand festival known as the Festival of Armina, the goddess of war and forging. To the people of Farfoss, Armina was a symbol of hope and greatness, more than any other goddess. Lunabelle and Claude hurried on ahead, fascinated by the streamers and ornaments running along the town, all the way to the town square. They passed by many people and many food stands on the way.
“How amazing! I guess we came at just the right time!” Lunabelle …show more content…
None of them were familiar with the festival or had ever been to the town so it surprised them all when they saw a huge fighting ring in the town square.
“Who will enter the tournament for the title of Armina’s knight? Will it be you? Or you? How about you?” shouted a dwarvish man from atop the ring, Leroy Marksmith, as he pointed at strong looking men.
“’Scuse me, sir, what’s the tournament about anyway?” Orion asked.
The man turned his attention to him, a shocked look on his face.
“Whaaaat, you don’t know anything about the tournament?! Allow me to explain then.” He cleared his throat. “This tournament is held every year at the Festival of Armina, a celebration used to give thanks to the Goddess Armina.” he explained. “All you have to do is write your name on a piece of parchment and drop it in the entry box, which can be found next to the ring. After you enter then your name will randomly be drawn, along with someone else’s name. You’ll have to fight with the person whose name is drawn after yours and, if you defeat them, you’ll move up to the final round and you’ll get a five hundred silver Crowns!”
“We’re in!” Lydia said quickly. Her eyes practically turning into Crowns; there was no way she would pass up the chance to win
