"Thank you, I will take that into consideration," he said, thinking about what kind of debt she meant. If it was money, him and his father would be able to purchase new animals and crops to grow and sell to the market. For a moment, Will glanced at the ribbon on his lance. She said it would throw Jonathan off, and he believed her. At least, he hoped what she said was true. An announcer called up the first knight for the metal rings portion of the tournament. Will looked over towards the scoreboards and noticed that he would be the last person to compete in the first round. It was at that point Will realized he had not gotten the lady's name. He shook his head and decided he would wait till the end of the tournament to ask her.<br/><br/>After 30 minutes or so, it was finally Will's turn. Gripping his lance tightly, the announcer called him up. A squire brought over his horse that was raised on him and his father's farm. He named her Elessar. Elessar slightly moved her head as if to say that they would win. Will blinked a few times and saddled her. 10 metal rings were lined up in front of him. A countdown began, and Will leaned forward in his saddle. The count reached zero, and he rode forward towards the rings. He approached the first one and slid his lance through it easily. This wouldn't be too hard. Another metal ring neared Will as he moved forth, and he slid his lance through it as easily as the first. With no problems, Will repeated the process for the next seven rings. Nearing the final ring, Will raised his lance and galloped faster towards it. It came upon him quickly, and he slid his lance through. Sensing that she had served her purpose, Elessar slowed to a stop. Will got off the horse and held his lance high. He had completed the first round of the tournament! Breathing in air, he wished the rest of the tournament would not be very difficult, especially the jousting portion.
