Thanks for playing guys!!

There was a rush of wind, the cheer of the crowd, and suddenly, the match that Almina had been waiting for was starting. She ran, darting around, managing to grab hold of the round object that the knights were kicking around, knowing she had to get it to the goal. It was imperative, she had to prove herself with this.

The Jupiter page drew in a steady breath, the scene around her slowing down to the point where everything seemed to be stopped. Well, if this wasn’t an adrenaline rush, she really wasn’t sure what was.

Be slow, be steady, don’t lose the ball. The girl continued to repeat these words to herself, muttering under her breath. This was nothing more than a game. Nothing more than a chance to shine. A chance to win. A chance to really prove herself.

Okay, so maybe it meant a lot more than just a game, but that was completely besides the point.

Keep running, keep steady, keep going.

She was getting closer to the goal, she could see and feel it even. Her leg struck out, kicking the ball as hard as she could, and it flew past the other team members with a wooshing sound that couldn’t be replicated.

Yes! The first goal was for the Jupiter team. For a moment, it seemed like everything sped up again, going the normal speed that things should go again, but, too soon, Almina got hold of the ball again and time seemed to stand still.

It seemed that the game was over much too quickly, but one minute the page was running and kicking, the next, she felt herself being tackled by other Jupiter pages and squires and knights. They had won.

They had won the soccer game, and they were bringing the medal home to Princess Jupiter! It was like a dream come true, it really was. The page looked into the crowd, imagining that she could see her princess there, smiling at her and congratulating her for all she had done.

Well, someday she would be sure to make that fantasy come true. She wanted recognition from Princess Jupiter…and if she could get it by proving herself the most athletic of the knights, then she would.

She would do anything.


Very late solo! Haha! 379 words!
