"Girls can't be heroes." Billy Smith said with a derisive snort. For a moment, Bri wanted to ball up her fist and knock some sense into his stupid nine year old sneer. However, that wasn't how a hero behaved, she knew. The heroes in the stories her father had told her never hit kids. They hit the bad guys, the fallen demons that threatened to destroy everything in fire and hate. Findelfin wouldn't hit Billy Smith, and so neither would Brigette Benson. She took a deep breath, leaning down as if she were speaking to a puppy.
"They can, too. There's lady Ritters in Ettermire. My daddy took me and I saw one. She was pretty, and had armor made of Delyn. And she could... she could..." Bri glanced around for a moment, making sure that there were no parents standing around that might user her act of rebellion to get her in trouble. "she could kick your ass!" she whispered. Billy's eyes darkened, and he shoved the papers that he'd been perusing back at Brigette.
"Well, I guess we gotta let you in or you'll cry and get me in trouble." he said, the weight of the situation's unfairness bringing his voice into a sigh. "But you gotta prove that you're a hero. You gotta do something amazing."
"Like what?" Bri asked, her eyes lighting up. She couldn't hide the smile on her face, visions of saving Alerar from evil dancing in her mind.
"Well....Lenoma Deathslasher lost her cat yesterday. She could use a hero to find it."
