"The knight kisses the princess and they live happily ever after, the end." What a joke, life isn't just a fairy tail. If that were true I wouldn't be stuck living on the street. I close the book and slip it between the books on the shelf. It's sad, this library is the only thing I don't find boring, that and farming. I dig in my pocket and pull out my spoon. Its pathetic, this is the only thing I have. A silver rusted spoon that seems that its about to fall apart at any second. I walk to the exit of the library. "Thank you, come again!" I hear as I exit. Two more days until im able to join the weapons academy. I don't think they'll accept a spoon as a weapon but its worth a shot. I will prove my family wrong! I rhythmically walk down the road twords the river. The street has somewhat of a lively feel to it. Or maybe I was just in a good mood.

The river comes into view and I speed up my pace. Gotta keep up with my daily routine. I get on the bridge and take out all the items in my pockets. Spoon, napkin, book page and a metal ball. I have no clue how i survived all these years just using my brain and my spoon; I shake my head at the thought. I then carefully step down closer to the river. Green grass, blue water and blue sky. I hold my spoon underwater and brush my hand on all the dirty spots. Will I be able to make it into the academy? I take it out the water and dry it off with the napkin. I have to get in, its the only way I can get off the streets. I then scope the water with my spoon and start drinking. After all these years I still cant believe that I have to live like this. All these years I've been living off of the rivers water and apples from the market. I cover my mouth, the thought of it makes me want to throw up.

After im full of water I stand up and start walking. I decided I'd stop by the weapons academy today. The roads were busy. People buying or selling, children playing or dancing. There's no way I can blend in. I continue walking. These people are all so cought up with their own life they don't look around at others. See what the others are going through. I feel myself tense up. "Calm down" I say to myself. The weapons academy, the building that makes the Backmide kingdom popular. They say it's presence makes you want to get on your knees. All the finest warriors trained at that very building. "There it is..." I say to myself. So all the rumors were true. The building was made of pure metal on the outside and it gave off a strong aura. It's like that building is power itself. I gaze up and down. Is that really where i want to go? That question spun around my head like a starved mosquito. No, I do want to go here. I have to prove my family wrong!
