After a day, We had finally made it back to Celestia. My body was completely drained of energy. We had to report directly back to the king. The minister took us directly to the king, as we kneeled he began to speak.( So it appears you have made it back unscathed, but there is something of grave importance. As you know, about two weeks have passed. The dark army, has begun to gather at pur border's. The army has been sceduled to move out, one month ahead of time. But I'm pleased to hear that you, were able to complete Gallamores trial. I'm aware that you have even recieved his sword. Well I must retire for the night, I bid you farewell. Minister please show them off, prepare yourselves please.) We left the castle, and on our way back home. We were confronted by a tall black haired man. Then He pulled out a dagger, He dashed desperately toward us. Drawing My sword, I swung to block his attack. But the sword broke directly through his dagger, I tried to stop the force of the attack. It was to late though, My sword had taken his arm. The man fell to his knees, screaming in agony. I stood frozen, afraid of what I'd done. The hood covering his face fell, and what it had revealed was a beast. He started to smile, he stood starring at Me. The man took off running. Suddenly I could move again, but I remembered being told. That the enemies We were facing, were beasts who weren't even human. Listen to Me Mira, what happened here today never speak of it to anyone. It's pretty dangerous here, let's get a move on. We were heading back home, to the barracks for rest. I layed in my bed awake, wondering what was to come. That trembling fear of taking his arm, was haunting me. If that were to happen on the battle field, I would be dead in an instant. Laying for several hours I couldn't sleep. That's when the door opened, it was Mira stsnding there. She toward Me, asking me.( I couldn't sleep, I wanted to talk to you about something. Do you think we'll survive this war, I've been asking Myself all day. I just can't loose anyone else, that I care about. Not again, Artemis the pain I felt when My father died. I just can't have that happen to you to.) She started to cry, burying her head in My chest. Listen to Me, I will never die as long as I have you. So don't cry, wipe those tears off your face. We layed for a little longer, that image from the tomb. Mira dying in My hands, it was all I could think about. But I will never let that happen. Passing out into the light, it was something I still didn't understand. After waking up, we left to go to the genrals office. He assigned us a mission in Desmend, a Large trading town. Which was right on the border. We had been briefed on the border dispute, We were told that beasts had been attacking. So We headed out right away, I don't know what lies ahead. But one thing I do know is, all I can do is beleive in My own strength. After getting ready we set out, for a new adventure in Desmend.
