Title: Dependant Rating: G Length: 177 Competitor: Alanna Round/Fight: 3/A Summary: It all depends on Kel.
:::
Alanna had been ecstatic when she learned that Keladry of Mindelan was going to try for her knighthood. She had been relieved that, finally, a girl had decided to fight for the kingdom. But when the shine of it all wore off, Alanna began to worry. What if Keladry did not have what it took? What if she gave up and went home? The future of Lady Knights rested on Keladry of Mindelan’s shoulders. Her success could inspire girls from across the realm to become pages. But if she failed the repercussions could be disastrous. People would believe that Alanna’s success as a knight was a fluke, and that it could not be reproduced. Whether Keladry knew it or not, she was going to play a very large part in the future for Tortallan women. Alanna decided that she was going to help that girl as much as she could until she reached success. Alanna would insure that she could not fail. But if by some chance she did, Keladry would have the Lioness to answer to.

I love the last line -- I never thought about it that way before! This is delightful.

I agree. That's a really fascinating way of looking at it, and beautifully expressed.
