OCC; Yes, it was very good. It was easy to make as well, involved only the microwave to defrost the meat and the range on top of the stove for the meat and refried beans.
BIC; Wars date back to the dawn of time. God made mad, and once man procreated, it didnt take long for man to start wars. Its a sad fact of life. Shadow continued. Star was becoming restlest again. Shadow looked over at him. Star, why don't you come over heard and listen, before you break the Energizer Bunny's record for energy duration. Shadow said. Ok! Star said as he galloped over to Shadow and Jonathon. Now Star, since you do not know much about medieval times, why don't you ask Jonathon about what you have been wanting to know? Shadow asked. Ok! Star complied, turning to Jonathon. What happened when a Knight got knighted? What did they have to do to become a knight? Star asked.

Jonathan turned to Star, "Well, to become a knight, you have to be of noble descent. But that wasn't always the case. When you are 7 to 8 years old, you are sent to some Lord's castle to train for knighthood. This is when you are a page. When you are a page, you learn how to handle hawks, cut up a deer, and learn how to properly carve meat being served to other knights. Pages would practice fighting with swords against a wooden stake to develop muscles to become a strong knight. You also needed to know how to use a bow and arrow. A priest will give you religious training and teach you how to read and write. When you finally are 14, you become a squire. Then you have to follow a knight as your master. You were expected to protect him if he fell and around the 13th century, squires fought alongside their masters. Squires were required to dress their masters for battle and tournaments. You also had to take care of their armor and weapons. And you learn how to use other weapons. When you are finally considered ready, this takes place when you are around 18 years old, you are dubbed a knight. This was usually performed by the knight who trained you. The evening before the dubbing, you had to confess your sins and you did many other things to 'cleanse' your soul. You would wear red, white, and brown colored clothing. Red for your blood, white for purity, and brown for the return to earth when you die. With a tap on each shoulder, you were dubbed a knight. But you had to be courteous as well. It isn't all about killing other people for glory. There are other ways to become a knight. If there is a battle and the king needed more men, he would knight squires to fight. Or if you show great courage and bravery in combat, you become a knight." Edit: OOC: Refried beans? I HATE refried beans! They are disgusting.

OCC; I needed something to go with the meat. They weren't too good of a filler, but the crab tacos were still good. Didn't you forget the part of after a knight was knighted, he got a slap on the cheek; this was to symbolise the last time he could recieve and insult without having to take retailitory action. he was also expected to behave honorably and to show respect and restraint. I slearned that on that show that usually came on after mail call but was replaced by guts and bolts; the name of the show has evaded my memory for the time being. It was the one where the host would take you into a crash course battle technology, some old, some new, some ancient. It will come to me later; most likely when I do not need to know that.
BIC; Star nodded in agreement. That's good! . He then looked over at Shadow to, and then to Jonathon, to make sure no paw was about to come down on his head.
What all has gone on in the struggle between the angel factions lately? Shadow asked Jonathon.

OOC: The people who made the beans were terrible cooks as well, except for a few. I didn't know that part though, when they are slapped. I guess I'll add that too. BIC: "Oh yes, you are struck forcefully as well and you were usually knocked over. And you are expected to be chilvarious." Jonathan turned back to Shadow, "I wouldn't know, since I am not an angel." He removed his helmet and reverently set it on the ground.

OCC; I still wish I could remember what the name of the show was; it was a really good show. For some reason they do not show it any more.
BIC; Then where do you usually spend your time? Shadow asked Jonathon.
OCC; I had to lower the resolution on this laptop; I can't read that small text very well.

OOC: I just found out that in the earlier middle ages, you were struck very hard. And you usually fell to the ground. BIC: "Well, usually I am at my tower. Experimenting, honing my skill with the sword or magic, learning new magical spells, or sitting idly in my garden. But I like taking walks around San Francisco when I get tired of being cooped up in my tower. But at sundown, I can be found sitting on top of either tower of the Golden Gate Bridge."

Do you have any magic that can keep me from getting bonked on the head? Like some sort of protection spell? What can you teach me? Star asked.

"Yes I know A few. One is mirror force,The other is mirror wall. Mirror force is a clear shiled, that is shphere around you, It repels all opsing attacks, and bonces them back to the user but Mirror force will break if ya attack. Mirror Wall is Wall that is a Mirror, won't break when youu attack or move trough it, It refects the opsing attack and weakens the user.Those are my key spells.Which one do you want to know Bella woke up, starting with a yawn.She then brought out her wand and was tapping it on her paw, so she could get strted, helping, Star and Big bro, but only smoke,steam,cloulds, and magic dust were being realeses.

I never fight back; I am too small and the other dogs are too big. Star replied. If the mirror force repels all bonks...I mean attacks as long as I do not fight back, I want to learn that one.

"Yes!So I think I know it, It from a book"Gabe pulled up his spell book from Libray in his lab and started looking.
Bella had Cast a spell. I looked like a Ray of a rainbow, the attack exploded on a brick wall, the carector smodeing and the rubble was on the street, now ash. Bella wand was now sparking with Magic Sparks, and bella had one paw holding the wand tightly, pointing towards were she had cast the spell, the other paw clinging to her Big bro's body
