A few days ago, I, Fiona, Emily, and other few knights were fighting with the enemy army just to acquire a few hectares of land that will most likely belong to the kingdom in which they live from now on. This battle in which I participated and I was very involved in, it was a resounding success for our army, but also in my career as a future warrior after I finished being a squire, which will last a few more years.
However, just before I got back to camp, I fainted and fell asleep for a few days since I used all my energy for spells, that is, mana. This mana is the energy that helps the sorcerer to have magical powers, cast omnipotent spells, and heal enemies. I used almost every hand a ten-year-old wizard could have, and this excessive use of magic brought me to sleep.
I wake up to reality, I get out of the rest tent, I go back to the tent where I live to check if my things have remained intact, and to my luck they were. I did this because you don't know what kind of thief would want to enter a helpless child's tent and steal from him a lot of money that he had a hard time earning ... I really should deposit some of my money at a bank.
I stay in my tent until dinner time comes when all the warriors in this area go to eat some delicacies prepared by the chefs of this area, which in my opinion, are not as good as Diana's cooking, but better than Fiona's cooking. Until then, I had read one of the books I had borrowed from Emily, my aunt when the four of us spent a week in that bunker as punishment for throwing that huge boulder by mistake.
The book I read was about a young magician who learns certain spells and goes to an Academy of Magicians to become one of the best magicians in this harsh world because in this world lives a kind of god who plays with souls. people and kill only whoever they want for no reason, just to make life better. This young man in the book discovers that the god who steals people's souls, takes only the weak, but not the strong, so he trains hard not to take his soul, but during this story, he discovers that no god steals souls no god does this.
After a few moments or hours, Fiona appears at the tent door, she calls my name to see if I'm home, but it's obvious because I could have seen the shadow because of the lamp I used to read this book, and I used the lamp for the first signs of the night were beginning to appear outside. I open that tent, glance at Fiona standing in front of me, and she looks at me neutrally and smells of sweat. He's probably been to combat training or something if I'm not mistaken, and I'm rarely wrong.
"Looks like you are alright, Judah." says Fiona while she looks at me with relief, then asks me after she examined me: "We got new orders. But the fight will be in a few days."
"Alright." I say to Fiona while I am leaving my tent. "Where are the others?"
"Training. We arranged some funerals for our fallen soldiers. And we have occupied that territory."
"Sounds good." I say to Fiona. "Everythings sound nice and all, and... What happened to Emily?"
"Emily? Oh... She is on the other side of the battle to help in support because we do not have many healers at the moment. Yesterday she was called to go there."
"And when she will be back?"
"We don't know... Not even the generals know, but..." she looks at the sky and then after a few seconds answers me with a clear answer to the question. "Somewhere between tomorrow or two days later. Who knows?"
I look behind Fiona for a moment and notice that something is wrong. Fiona. Sensing that I was looking back, she glanced behind her, then breathed a sigh of relief that no thief or assassin had infiltrated the camp and told me.
"You know I do not have the sword, right?"
"Wait?" I say, amazed that Fiona doesn't carry her giant sword because this sixteen-year-old woman carries a sword so big that it would be so hard for Uncle Big Gus to do that. "What happened? Did you lost it?"
"No. I just brake the handle of the sword."
"How come?"
"Well..." she says blushing, but then shakes her head and then answers me. "I just did a much powerful swing and the handle has suddenly brake it and thankfully, he did not hurt Mar- I mean anyone around me!"
"Aha... I see... so how are you going to fight?"
"I-Ill just barrow a sword... So are you going to go and grab dinner?"
"Sure, I am starving."
"Me too."
We both leave my tent, but before I leave, I take my small bag of yellows, I put the spellbook in my scooter backpack, and the wand, I put it in my belt because I don't want to put it in my backpack and there is a risk to break and give a lot of money to repair such a wand.
As I was walking to where we were having dinner, I decided to ask Fiona about her sword because I had this question from day one when I met her, and I had always been curious. I couldn't do that then, but over time, I got to know her better and better, and she doesn't look like a cold-blooded man who kills everything in her path.
"You see..." says Fiona while both of us are walking to the tent where we are going to eat the dinner. "I discovered this sword four years ago at a stall in the kingdom. I was still a squire then, but that was my last year as a squire, after which I could become a knight, which I still am. So that sword had cost somewhere a hundred gold coins, a price I could afford because I and the knight I had worked with had a lot of missions back then, from hunting werewolves to arresting robbers. royal palaces. At the time, I only used a sword like any other squire, a medium-sized one that can be found in almost any weapons store. I bought the sword, and that salesman, who was a nice middle-aged man, asked me if I could carry it, and to be honest at first it was really hard to carry such a sword, but in time I managed to get it. I always take. I rarely broke that sword, and that was because I still couldn't learn those turns and attacks, but not to mention the defense, they were extremely easy."
"For real?"
"For real... Man, that sword is a good one. I hope they will send faster because I really wanted to train."
"How much it took you to wield that sword?"
"To be honest with you... Almost three whole months. But I had to train every day and night with my help of the knight."
"Did the knight you worked for had a sword like that?"
"Well... Not really, but he helped me to use a giant sword even if I was a little girl back then."
"Little girl?!" I thought to myself because that thing is exaggerated, she was still a monster back then... Well, at least its what Diana told me that time when we eat dinner together that time when Fiona wasn't home.
After a few minutes of walking, we arrive in front of the tent where the canteen is or the place where we serve dinner or breakfast, possibly some others come to serve lunch, but if they have something to eat. Knight Fiona and I enter that tent and notice that in the tent something normal is happening in a war camp, a few male and female warriors form a circle around two muscular men fighting with their bare hands and swearing as if to the tent door.
