Audrey knew all of this history.  It had been impressed into her thoughts from the time when they first began.  She knew what was expected of her and her brother by the family.  But she didn't understand why Gran was repeating it all to her now.  The knights only take the boys from the prestigious families, there had never been a female knight.  With the death of her brother any hope for the line to continue was gone.<br/><br/>"I don't understand.  What other choice do we have?  They won't allow me into the Riders, I'm a girl!"<br/><br/>As she looked into her grandmother's eyes, suddenly the plan became clear.  Her own eyes widened at the idea, but her mind began to race with thoughts.  People had always commented on how alike she and Jack were.  How they could almost be twins, except for the fact that Jack was a bit smaller.  But even that gap had closed over the past year with his growth spurt.  When they had gone to visit the academy for him, they were almost exactly the same size.<br/><br/>"No.... it'd never work.  People would know.  They'd figure it out.  Training takes years!"
