Peregrine entered his classroom. He had darkened the windows and put black curtains over them and light torches and laterns made from gourds and pumpkins around the room. For dramatic effect, he made a roaring fire in the center of the room.

"Greetings, Mizu." Peregrine said. He had replaced the desks and chairs with logs around the fire.

((I think you might be left standing for awhile, sorry Aya.))
Peregrine cleared his throat and began the story.
"1,000 years ago, William and Mary Orceno were King and Queen of Scottland, Ireland, England, Wales, and the Netherlands. Their greatest treasure was their daughter, Diana Orceno. She was the most beautiful girl for many kingdoms on the contient. Many young suitors came to seek her hand in marriage, but she refused them all. Finally, her father decreed that she would be married by her 15th birthday. Furious, his daughter announced to both her parents' alarm and anger that she would never marry a mortal man. Her mother suggested that she be locked up in the marble tower adjacent to the castle.
Any comments so far?"

Shae slipped in, managing to knock over one of the pumpkins when she did. "Ooops, sorry professor." She sat down close to Mizukey, "I didn't mean to interrupt. I got lost on the way here."

"No problem." Peregrine said, picking up the pumpkins. "We were just discussing the first knight, did you, by any chance hear the beginning of the story?"

"No I didn't... sorry to make you start again." She send an apologetic glance towards Mizu as well, knowing that she must be annoyed with the interruption as well.

Peregrine continued.
"Bored out of her mind, Diana found she could perform magic through her element, which she discovered by accident, She continued to practice more advanced and dark spells until the eve of her 15th birthday. Then, by the use of dark spells, she blasted the locked door open and killed the guards with their own daggers. She then stole an oversized cloak, a dagger, a helmet, and boots from one of her victums. She put on her new disguise and ran to her parent's castle. From it she took a great deal of money and ruined her parent's throne room by magic, to show them who they were dealing with. Her final stolen item of the night was an iron dapple grey Irish Draft stallion which she fled on into the cover of darkness.
Passing as a man and donning the name of Fola she fled many miles and worked in a bar by day and practiced magic and archery by night. One balm June evening, she met a strange old woman who said that in exchange for a free meal, she [the woman] would show Diana a wonderous site. Eager for a link to magic, Diana stole food from her master's kitchen and served it to the woman.
After the old woman had eaten, she told DIana to ride into the forest where she would find a herd of "manhorses". Diana had no clue what man-horses were, but her curiosity got the better of her. Late that night, she rode into the dark forest to investigate. Immediately, she was surronded by a herd of centuars, who were all pointing loaded bows at her. Mistaking her to be man, they took her prisoner. She was thrown into a prison cell made of trees that grew so close together that nothing bigger shrew could slip between the openings. There was only one small, gap that led into another cell, just as forsaken of openings as hers. After a few horses,, her horse, who she had christened Crusader, was thrown into the cell with her."
Peregrine paused for a minute to catch his breathe and to add dramatic effect.
