Introduction

Well, yesterday marked my seventeenth birthday and I couldn't be any happier. One of the knights in King Relylo royal guard asked to ride in the upcoming tournament with my favor! I have never had a knight ask me for my favor before. His name is Jokyshe and is the talk of all the women. My mom says I should be careful because men that have everything going for them tend to developed huge egos, which leads to relationship problems. I don't know about that, but what I do know is that he has definitely swept me off my feet. I still can't believe he asked me out of all the other women that have been trying to get him to ask for their favor.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if he won? I would get to go to the royal ball escorted by the tournament champion. Can things get any better? While, there is a lot of competition in the tournament, I am sure that Jokyshe's speed and agility will easily propel him to victory. The only obstacle is Stanton. Stanton is a lot bigger that Jokyshe and more experienced, however, he is also a lot slower, which means Jokyshe should have the advantage in both the sword and jousting championship.

Well, I will let you know how it goes. Right now I need to go and decide what to wear and what handkerchief I should give to Jokyshe as a symbol of my favor, so I will talk to you later.
