“You don’t have to word it like that. But, please, show me.” I spoke in earnest. “Well, my arm isn’t going to be doing much better than you. However, I will tell you what you need to do.” I knew the basics with a bow; it wasn’t something I was interested in using then… But now, learning from someone as …

The following day begins as I get ready for my daily training. Eckhart had expected Carlo and me to arrive around noon. So, with time to spare, I decided to make a quick visit to the Guild. Saying goodbye to Celia and Mei, I walked into the snowy streets and walked straight to the Guild. I stepped inside and found …

Holding the blade tightly, Caleb takes a deep breath to focus on Eckhart. With a moment to size each other, the renowned knight has the blade in his left hand, placing his other behind his back to hold back. “I know I am just a kid, but going easy on anyone can be life or death, Eckhart,” Caleb speaks loudly. …

Opening my eyes after a blurry dream, the stinging pain of my head and arms weighed heavily. I stared at the familiar ceiling of my room. “Mm… Worst headache…Ever.” My voice was raspy, and a fever had set in. “Master, you’re awake!” Celia was sitting next to my bed. “It seems I find myself bedridden quite often.” I chuckle at …

A splash of warm liquid falls on my face and body. Then, a hideous yell pierces my ears. I expected death, but the warm sensation over my body was puzzling. I cannot dare …

Breathing heavily, I rush to the gates. Loud thuds bang against the hardened wood. The sounds of pleas and cries for help ring through my ears. The standing sentries watch as they decide to keep the gates closed out of fear and ensure the village isn’t exposed to danger. “Open the damn gates! Those people are defenseless!” I shout at …

The long night I had risen. Sitting in front of me was the blade. My soulless expression told a long story. I attempted to grab it again, but the sudden emotion to reel back overcame me.

Getting up from my bed was difficult. My hands were shaking continuously, and my mouth was dry.
