"So you finally made it here, thank you for coming. We are still waiting on a few other people to arrive but if you could, do you mind helping pass out these fliers?"
[Sheia - Phoenix]
"Uhh, why do we have to do this?"
[Temti]
"Well since there isn't anyone else here I was hoping you two would be able to help us out. "
[Sheia - Phoenix]
"Is there somewhere specific you would like to have them posted?"
[Twilight]
"No, anywhere around the village is fine, just make sure it's visible."
[Sheia - Phoenix]
Temti and I began to walk around the village posting the fliers. While we were going around we ran into a few of the people we helped and some of them were also from Mine City. They showered us with warm praise as we went around the village. A lot of the possible recruits were eager to take fliers and join. They had a lot of questions so I redirected them to Sheia at the Guardian Knight Headquarters. Once we were done I returned with Temti.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started with the first task. It isn't anything hard, I'll just need all of you to clean the Dojo."
[Sheia - Phoenix]
"Clean?"
[Traniee 1]
"Are you serious?"
[Traniee 2]
"Yeah, it's not going to take long."
[Twilight]
"What would we have to do?"
[Temti]
"I would just need all of you to clean the dojo mats, clean the zen garden, as well as clean the floors."
[Sheia - Phoenix]
"How many of us would that take?"
[Temti]
"Honestly, all of you should do it, minus you Twilight I actually want to talk to you about something else."
[Sheia - Phoenix]
While the other recruits cleaned, including Temti, Sheia and I discussed what Anita had told me, about being the Twilight Guardian. Afterwards, Sheia told me about her late father and how he was when he was a White Phoenix, he apparently journeyed around with the previous Twilight Guardian. They had traveled all over the world it turns out, and it so happened that he also knew the Fae King.
"So what is Manshu like?"
[Twilight]
"I'm actually not sure anymore, it's been a while since I was there, the last time I went it was when I was a kid."
[Sheia - Phoenix]
"What was it like then?"
[Twilight]
"I'm honestly not sure, the world has changed a lot since then. When do you plan on leaving?"
[Sheia - Phoenix]
"Well I believe this should be the last thing I have to do before we head out."
[Twilight]
"Okay, if that's the case do you mind helping me with a few more things?"
[Sheia - Phoenix]
"Like what?"
[Twilight]
"Well since you pretty much already know how to carry yourself why don't you help the other trainees. Temti can help you as well. He doesn't seem to know as much as you do, but he's definitely able to handle himself."
[Sheia - Phoenix]
"Okay what would you like me to teach them?"
[Twilight]
"What about some hand to hand combat? That or maybe some dagger skills since that's your main weapon."
[Sheia - Phoenix]
"What about me, what would you like me to do?"
[Temti, returning after helping the other trainees]
"Why don't you teach them some magic. I've heard from Anita that you're pretty good with a wand."
[Sheia - Phoenix]
After the rest of the trainees were done, Temti and I began our lessons. The class was split 50/50, seeing how Both Temti and I weren't much older than the others, with a few of them well past our age, so they didn't really seem to want to listen. It took us a while to get them to pay attention but when they finally did it was smooth sailing. A lot of them were fast learners and Jekab decided to learn from both Temti and I. We finished up quicker than expected, and the groups came back together for an announcement from Sheia.
"So it looks like you've all made at least some progress today."
[Sheia - Phoenix]
"Does that mean we're going to be full fledged hatchlings?"
[Jekab]
"Yeah when do we get our uniforms?"
[Trainee 1]
"Do we get to choose our classes yet?"
[Trainee 2]
"I want to be a Warr..."
[Trainee 3]
"Calm down, there's plenty of time to figure out all the extra stuff, but Jekab is somewhat correct. Some of you have the skills to pass, but the rest of you do not. You'll need to try again during the next recruitment day."
[Sheia - Phoenix]
"So which of us passed?"
[Trainee 6]
"Well for sure Twilight and Temti are allowed to become full fledged knights, but as for the rest of you I will be posting a list in just a moment."
[Sheia - Phoenix]
The results didn't take long to figure out. When Sheia returned she announced those who passed. Of course Temti and I both passed, becoming full fledged Hatchlings, as well as Jekab. Other than that there weren't many others who passed in the class. She announced that another class would happen in a few days.
"For those of you who didn't pass you are dismissed. As for the passing few I will now hand out your badges, granting you the title of Guardian Knights of Areon. As most of you know I'm a White Phoenix, and this makes you my hatchlings. It gives you the right to train under other Factions."
[Sheia]
"By any chance is there a faction in Manshu?"
[Temti]
"Actually, I'm not fully sure, the last time I visited was back in Shiro time, with my father. Since then I haven't heard anything from their faction."
[Sheia]
"Since we plan on heading there, would you like me to check for you?"
[Twilight]
"Actually that would be great, because you're traveling by boat I'm going to go ahead and inform the Sea Captain on how to get in contact with us."
[Sheia]
