He opened his eyes. Did not recognized the place he was, it looked like a nebula, a giant web of white, beige, blue and pink dusts, drizzled with many shining droplets. Under his feet, a square plain made of a white quartz-like material, in front of him, big stairs made of the same material as the platform he was in, the first step of the stair was not connected to the platform; he walked close to it and looked at the gap between the two structures. There it was nothing bellow it. He started to up the stairs.\\
The further he climbed, the more the stair steps darkened in dirt and neglect, cracks and holes made out of emptiness were slowly gnawing the place. When he reached the top, found a circular area, large, with an unevenness in the middle. From the place he was, he could see the northern end of seven pillars and another set of stairs connecting the area he was in to the closest and smallest of the pillars. He was walking to the stairs on the other side of the circle and looking at the strange white pillars, unlike the place he just walked on, all of the pillars were polished and clean, as masterful sculptures made by geniuses.\\
He climbed to the top of the first pillar, there he found an altar with a large basin on top, approached and looked inside, it was a well with a ladder on the side and filled to the top with water. On the bottom, he could see something shining but he could not reach it using just his arm, he put his head in the water and looked down the well, he decided to jump inside it and swim to the bottom. Getting close to the shining object a covering of fire rose from the walls blocking his path. He swam back to the outside of the well and stood there staring at the basin and thinking. After a while he got closer to the basin, gently touched it and froze all of the water layer, he climbed over the basin and punched his way through the ice until he reached the fire bellow.\\
When he finished the hole in the ice he accidentally fell in the fire, but he was not swallowed by it, he could stand up on top of the fire without felling it touching him, as if it was an invisible wall between him and the fire blanket. He knelt and tried to punch the wall but his hand went right through it, when he felt the heat of the layer below him, he quickly pulled his hand back. Looking at his next challenge, he noticed a small rock of ice that fell down while he was making his way through the first layer, that little thing was touching the wall, blocking the fire to coming out of that direction. Just like he trained before, he created a circular ice sculpture and let it fell in the fire creating a path for him straight to the shiny thing at the bottom. He jumped in to take the thing but before he could reach it, the thing sank at the sand bellow it. For the third and last layer of the well, he simply created an ice shovel and dug until he reached the thing. When his shovel touched the abject at the bottom of the well, it melted; Mikael dug with his hands until he uncovered the thing. It was two cleavers, in the moment he held them in his hands they started to shine, much more intensively then before; Mikael did not looked away until it stopped. \\
When the cleavers stopped shinning, all of the elements in the well disappeared, making way for him to climb the ladder.\\
Once on the surface, Mikael started to look and test the cleavers in his hands, they were heavy, even for him, the edge was extremely sharp despite the size; each one of them was about the same size as his upper body but that did not bothered him, he was a great appreciator of the heavy weapons. After playing with them for a while, he noticed some inscriptions close to the handle on both of them, they read: "Rigil Kentaurus" in the one he was holding in his left and "Toliman" in the one he was holding in his right hand. \\
In the other side of the first pillar was another set of stairs going to the second pillar, when he got there saw a big sculpture made of the same material as the pillar, it was a giant bow with its lower tip stuck on the pedestal. The base of the support had an inscription that said: "Gamma Velorum". He said the words out laud and waited to see what it would happen, it did not worked. There it was nothing else in the second pillar, the stair that connected the second and the third pillar was broken and the space in between was far too big for Mikael to jump to the other side. From where he was he could see the other pillars from bellow, something in the third pillar would start to shine, stop a few seconds later and then, it would repeat the process. In the fourth, fifth and sixth pillars, the light was constant but the fourth pillar was shining in a red, a little orange tone, while the fifth and sixth pillars were shining in a bright and intense blue, the light of the sixth pillar was extremely intense, almost blinding. From where he was, he could not see what was on top of the seventh pillar, the nebula was in the way. After a couple of minutes admiring it the view he decided to try and make the jump to the third pillar, he left the cleavers on the second pillar, took distance and ran to the last step of the third pillar's stair jumping as far as he could. He fell in the abyss.
Mikael woke up from his dream, sweating and confused he remembered every detail of the place he was. Like a call in the distance, the names engraved in the weapons were echoing in his head, he looked at his left hand and remembered the feeling when he held the giant cleavers in his hands.\\
—Toliman — He thought out laud.\\
Under the blanket he felt something come up in his hand, he could feel the shape of the handle with his right hand. He raised his right hand, and with it, the cleaver engraved with the "Toliman" inscription.
In the third combat class, Haamiah was wearing the limb parts of her armor, leaving her torso and head unprotected, just like in the past classes. Valon was unusually electric; even he could not avoid the excitement of using his armor for the first time, he tried to talk with Mikael on the way to the arena but the other cavalier was strangely silent until the class started.\\
When Haamiah officially started the class, Mikael instantly charged to the attack, Haamiah looked at him and smiled as she always did. Mikael looked deep in her eyes, smiled and then called his armor, Haamiah's smile turned upside down. The four girls that have not seen his armor stood paralyzed looking at it. \\
Haamiah stopped and prepared to defend his punches with her axe, Mikael's smile got wider than before. He raised both of his hands behind his head and shouted.\\
—Rigil Kentaurus and Toliman.\\
The two cleavers appeared in his hands and he unleashed a downwards attack with both of them. The attack was strong enough to divide Haamiah's axe in three parts and hit the ground after it. Haamiah was shocked, something like that has never happened to her, she avoided his next few attacks and then jumped out of his range. As soon as she landed, a projectile fell from the sky at full speed on her, she countered the attack and send the projectile away. It was Valon; he came flying and tried to kick her. She looked at them with their new acquired armors and felt how much they were excited to fight. She liked that.\\
They charged at her, Mikael would swing the cleavers and let their weight take him, Haamiah was using these openings to punch him and throw him away while countering all of Valon attacks. Haamiah's hand-to-hand combat was ridiculously good, she was able to avoid the edge of the cleavers and hit Mikael's hands with the palms of her own hands, weakening his grip and making him take longer to attack again. Valon's attacks were not as lousy; he tried to attack at the same time as Haamiah was attacking Mikael but she was faster and more precise. She placed Mikael between them and pushed him away, Valon was able to avoid colliding with the other boy but not with Haamiah's punch that followed. \\
The other students were looking at the fight from a certain distance; none of them had the courage to join in except for one. Asphela waited for the moment when the two boys were further away from Haamiah and ran in. She grabbed the gold soul and threw her up while Valon and Mikael jumped after her and continued to attack the gold soul without cease. When they were about to fall Haamiah kicked Valon to the ground and immobilized Mikael, she held his hand and made Toliman crush into Valon's chest killing him. In the split second Mikael was looking to his friend dead body, Haamiah snapped his neck with her foot.\\
The rest of the fight went down very quickly, when the two new cavaliers died Asphela continued to attack followed by Prospounae and Thysíla. Even unarmed, Haamiah was able to punch through Prospounae shields and kill every student one by one, Asphela was the one that survived the longest against her, every time Haamiah was about to get her she would run away. Since Asphela was also unarmed, she was able to move faster and react quicker than she could before while holding the Diamond Limbo. \\
When everyone was dead, Haamiah restarted the simulation and gave another chance to them since they still had class time. It was no use, she crushed them all.\\
Now that she was aware of Mikael and Valon, they could not destroy her axe in the beginning of the fight. With the axe and part of the armor, her movements became faster than before, Asphela was the only one matching with her in that point. Valon was flying above them and looking to the Cavalier, to him, it did not made any sense that she could move as she was. In the end, they lost in a very one-sided battle.\\~\\
—Is it bad luck? — Exoutius was talking to Adam, Tius and Thysíla.\\
—Maybe is divine punishment… — Adam suggested.\\
—Karma or something. — Tius complemented.\\
—I think it is just ironic. \\
—He must be so sad… — Asphela sat with them at the table — Ever since the first day that is the only think he talks about, and now this happens…\\
—I don't think he is sad — Onami sat next to Exoutius — This is way better than not having an armor. Besides, the one he won has weapons already. I don't even know if mine has any.\\
—And they are cool too, two cleavers… I wish mine had those. — Adam said in a sad tone.\\
—I've wanted to ask you two about yesterday night… — Exoutius said to Asphela and Onami — How did they found those armors? Tius tried to explain but it didn't make any sense.\\
—We don't know the whole history, we only helped them steal the armors from Raphael's office.\\
—He said the crash from yesterday was a cavalier. — Thysíla said.\\
—Apparently, a Cavalier fell with Mikael's ring, which is the armor that 41 is using now.\\
—Which Cavalier?\\
—I don't know, I haven't seen him. When we found Mikael and Valon, they were near the commander's office and the guy that fell down was taken to the infirmary.\\
—The guy had 21's armor too? — Exoutius asked.\\
—No — Adam explained. — Valon said that the commander had a fused armor, but the armor "desfused" and now one of the halves is the thing he is using.\\
—The name was a bit strange… — Onami commented — It was Valon something. I don't remember the full thing.\\
—Me neither. — Adam said eating.\\
Mikael and Valon were entering the cafeteria, all of the cavaliers in the table were staring at them. They sat down with and Mikael noticed the curious eyes.\\
—What happened? Why is everyone staring at us?\\
—How are you feeling? — Adam started.\\
—Good… I think… Why you ask?\\
—We were very worried with you…\\
—Why?\\
—How you feel about Valon's armor having wings and yours not? — Tius asked consoling him.\\
—Oh… so that is what this is about.\\
—Open up with us, no one here is going to judge you… you can even cry if you feel like. This is a safe place. — Adam said while the others laughed.\\
—Shut up both of you. There is no way something like that is going to bring me down. Have you seen how awesome is my armor? Way better than ValonVorum. \\
—Why attack me? I was silent.\\
—So, you do like your armor… right? — Tius asked him.\\
—Yeah, of course.\\
—Will you give up the wings idea? — Onami asked.\\
—If you do, I'll be the one who will kill you. — Valon said excited.
—What? — Thysíla asked.\\
—I did not gave up on the wings.\\
—So what is your plan? — Asphela said laughing.\\
—I will ask the gold soul that fell yesterday to make them for me.\\
…\\
—Is he alive? — Exoutius broke the silence.\\
—I think so… They took him to the infirmary. I'm going to make a little visit to him after all the classes today.\\
—Was he the one that made your armor? — Asphela asked him.\\
—I do not know… He was the one that fell from the sky with it; if he was not the one that made it, I'm sure he knows something else.\\
—This thing is so weird. — Exoutius ranted — A Golden Cavalier falls from the sky one night and goes around giving armors to everyone. It is really weird…\\
—Mine did not fell with him… — Valon murmured.\\
—What about those weapons today? — Thysíla said slightly angry and curious — Where did you found the cleavers?\\
—Now that was crazy. — Mikael answered excited — I found them in my dream.\\
…\\
—We are going to need more than that… — Asphela.
—When I fell asleep last night I had a crazy dream. I was in space… I think… and there were some really big stairs in front of me. In the top of the stairs were some pilasters, pillar, things… — None of them was understanding — And on the top of the first pillar was a well that I used an ice shovel to reach the bottom of it. There I found the cleavers: Rigil Kentaurus and Toliman. — They appeared in the table, all of the cavaliers were impressed.\\
—If you want to use them it's just say these names? — Thysíla asked.\\
—That's what looks like…\\
—This is so cool — Adam said grabbing Kentaurus — and heavy.\\
—You barely got an armor and already have two weapons. — Tius said — You lucky bastard.\\
—There was a bow in the dream too… — Everyone stared at him again.\\
—A bow? — Onami was extremely interested — Let me see it.\\
—I can't.\\
—Why?\\
—I don't remember the name.\\
—What? — Tius said.\\
—I forgot what is it called.\\
…\\
—Are you kidding right?\\
—nop…\\
—What are you going to do then? — Asphela asked — Is there another way to get them?\\
—I am going to ask the gold soul when he wake up, he will tell me and I will go to all of the ten pillars.\\
—Ten pillars? — Valon asked outraged — Does that mean your armor has ten weapons?\\
—I don't remember the exact number but it was about ten…\\
—Maybe they are not all weapons… — Asphela said to Valon — Maybe some of them are like… shields or things to put in your armor. — She turns to Mikael — You should go talk to the guy now, maybe he already made wings for your armor and you don't know it…\\
Mikael's eyes widened.\\
—I haven't thought about that… I need to go there — He said as he stood up. — Does anyone want to come with me?\\
All of the cavaliers in the table stared at each other without saying anything.\\
—I'll go. — Onami breaks the silence.\\
—Really? I thought you didn't want to get into trouble… — Asphela commented.\\
—I'm curious about the bow.\\
—Does anyone else would like to come? — Mikael insisted.\\
Thysíla and Adam stood up and decided to go with them.\\
—Cool. So it is the five of us. Let's go. — He grabbed the collar of Valon's red cloak, pulled him from his seat and started to walk while carrying the cavalier with one hand.\\
—Let me go, I'm not going. — Valon shouted.\\
—Don't be silly, I would never left you behind.\\
—I don't want to go.\\
—What? Why not? — He placed Valon on the floor.\\
—Every time I go with you in one of your stupid ideas, something weird or bad happens.\\
—Last time you followed one of my "stupid" ideas, you won an armor.\\
…\\
—Alright but this will be the last time…\\
The five cavaliers were walking towards the cafeteria's door when Raphael turned the corner and entered the refectory with an uncommon smile. They stopped right in front of him and stared at the giant Cavalier, his smile slightly turned.\\
—What is going on here? — Raphael asked staring at Mikael.\\
—What? Nothing… — Mikael quickly responded — Why would you think we are going to do something?\\
—There is definitely something going on here…\\
—It hurts me… Know that you think so poorly of us. Why is that? Can't five, innocent, cavaliers in training walk around this freedom castle…\\
—Just say where you guys were going so I can say that you are not allowed.\\
—We were going to the infirmary…\\
—Do you want to talk to Idiofyel?\\
—That's a really ugly name… — Thysíla whispered to Valon.\\
—He hasn't woken up yet. When we took him to the infirmary to treat his injuries but he only had a few superficial ones.\\
—Then why he hasn't woken up yet? — Adam asked.\\
—He is exhausted. He probably used too much energy and power reentering the atmosphere. Just give him some time, he'll be fine. Then you'll be able to talk with him about your armor, I presume… — Mikael smiled — Talking about it, how is the armor? Are you adapting well?\\
—I think so…\\
—You Think So… Euphemist. — Valon interrupted him — He has weapons already. Ten of them.\\
—Ten? That is not possibly… Show me.\\
—I don't have ten. So far, I only have one.\\
—Show me…\\
He called the cleavers and showed them at the Paladin that exhibited no surprise in his face; he only stared at Kentaurus and Toliman while thinking. Mikael tried to call him many times but had no response. After a couple of moments of silence, Raphael turned around and walked away leaving the cafeteria and the cavaliers without any answers. Asphela, Exoutius and Tius walked to the others when they saw the commander leaving, at the same time Prospounae and Sotíel walked to the cafeteria and found the cavaliers at the door trying to understand Raphael's reaction. After a while talking, Prospounae noticed the weapons in Mikael's hands and talked to him.\\
—Hey, I kept thinking about what happened last night. I looked at the cleavers now and remembered. \\
—What? — Mikael asked.\\
—When you screamed the names of it this morning, they were very familiar to me, I've heard those names before but I could not tell from where. During the match, I remembered but then Haamiah killed me…\\
—Then you know where the names are from?\\
—Yes. They are stars.\\
—What?\\
—These are stars names. Rigil Kentaurus and Toliman I've heard them in a especial astronomy class during middle school and if I remember correctly, they are stars names or something like it. — He turns to Asphela — You should remember something of that class, you were there two…\\
She looked very confused. Valon overheard the conversation between them and said:\\
—Maybe the one you forgot had a star name too. If you remember which star it was, you would be able to use the bow just like the other two…\\
—Oh… shit… I know nothing about astronomy.\\
—We have a library in the castle, have you ever tried to go there? — Valon said grinning. \\
—Shut up… I already visited the library… It wasn't were I wanted to go but still. — He turns to Prospounae — Thank you. Do you guys want to go there with me?\\
No one responded.\\
—Really? Don't you want to know about the bow? — He said to Onami.\\
—Yes, I do. But… there are so many stars in the sky… it sounds like you are going to take a while looking for the right one.\\
—Fine. I guess it is just the two of us then. — He said to Valon who immediately pushed him away and entered the cafeteria.
