[Well she would have to send a letter considering her mother and aunt were never around. But surely they would approve her her idea to be wed to Keisle! Their families were close, he was of very high standing, and he and Oktavia were childhood freinds.. So yes, it should be fine..." Then the captain of the guard and Oktavia's idol Sir Bruce approached. ] "good evening Lady Von Seckendorf." "Ah, Sir Bruce!" [ Oktavia curtsied, giddy with more excitement] "May I talk to you for a moment?" "of course" [he led her outside] "Lady Oktavia, I must discuss with you about you becoming a knight." "yes? You said there was an open position, and that you were going to bring it up with the queen about a recomendation for me?" [her eyes glittered] "Ah, yes, I have. However.." [he shook his head, looking regretful] "the request was declined. I know you are skilled and just, and I believe you would make a fine knight. But the fact remains you are a lady, and a noble one at that.] [Oktavia's heart syunk at that]
...Oh, Sir Bruce - I wish I had been born in the Purple Kindgom sometimes, I really do. They even have a Lady General in that country, from what I've heard?
[Bruce snickered at that.]
- Oh, yes, they do indeed - And General Armstrong is the match of any General in the continent, I do believe.
[And then, he leaned over to her, whispering.]
- Did I ever told you I met her once, back when she was a pretending to be a man and calling herself "Oliver"? Oh, the stories I could tell...
[Oktavia looked at him, her eyes wide.]
...You...You did?
[Oktavia's eyes shined, then. So maybe that was part of the reason Sir Bruce had agreed to teach her the ways of the sword, when everybody else she'd asked had just laughed at her, and called her a silly tomboy behind her back...]
"Indeed. I shall tell you more about it." [He patted her shoulder] "I am sorry though. For now,you shall just have to remain the way you are..." [he gave her an apologetic smile and her left. after a bit Oktavia sulked out to where the ball extended outdoor among the lovely gardens, including a pond and stream thta was said to flow form the ocean. She was fairly miserable now] "...hey.. you ok?" [ophelia slank up next to her, looking concerned] "I, couln't help overhearin... sorry about that." [She sighed, and wiped a tear form Oktavia's eye] "hey. just forget bout it. those knight, they dont know what theyre missin! So, theres always mroe chances, youre lucky like that. So dont, let this get you down, ok?" [Oktavia sniffled, and nodded] "..all right..." [she managed to smile] " thank you, Ophelai. You are quite, cool.." "ya bet I am! So, wanna dance?" [Oktavia nodded again and they join in a waltz together.
As they danced over the small bridge over the pond, Rillianne brushed close with her dancing partner, just the right angle... and gave Oktavia a shove , toppling her down, her skirts snagging on the railing of the bridge and tearing off, and she landed with a splash into the water. There was some] laghter form the crowd at this, especially from Rillainne. "Oh my, you sure are clumsy,Lady Vond Sekenforf! And your poor dress!" "You! Why you_" [Oktavia, red with emabrarsement, started to stand up, but froze as a strange feeling came over her. A numbness, then pain, especially upon her legs, she whined and started to shake.] "Oktavia!" [Ophelia jumped down beside her, her disguise starting to slip] "Whats wrong! Shes in pain! someone call a doctor!! under the ripped parts of her skirts she could see her bloomers, but it seemed her legs started to twist at an odd angle. a few Sclaes started to emerge on Oktavia's shoulders and face, and what seems like fins growing on her wrists and over her ears, webbign ebtween her fingers "What the hell...." As Oktavia's pained screams intensiefied She tore the bloomers and stockings off. the colorful scales now fully covere Oktavia's legs, which were fusing togetehr and changing form a bit into one limb, her feet melding into fins. Her whole lower half was like that of a fish. Oktavia finally eased, the transformaiton complete. People were gasping horriifed at the transformaiton, a few even fainted. ]
