It was still dark and early in the morning, the sun had not risen . Rian turned to look at Lily by his side, she was the reason he was embarking on this journey. He gave her one last kiss and made his way for the door .
" Good morning, your highness " Dru greeted on seeing Rian at the stables
" It's going to be a lovely day, isn't it? " Rian questioned
" Well, we can only hope for the best, your highness. "
" Let's go then " and they both rode off. Since the sun had not risen, the place was still very cold. Rian and Dru rode side by side in an unbelievable speed. They got to the eastern sea at noon , the sea was unlike any other, it was magical, historical, it was red in colour.
Rian got down from his horse and went closer to the magical sea. This sea held histories, it was on this very sea that the era of the living dead began. Obviously, tempering with it would not do any good. But, Rian had to fight for her.
" Your highness " Dru looked startled and scared " We could keep riding till we get to the valley of Ragno "
" That would take days, I can't wait that long "
" Your highness, please . The sea's too powerful "
" I don't care " Rian replied and pushed Dru forcefully, Dru fell to the ground with a loud thud . Rian turned to look at the sea and started casting the spell " Esperitum excrus decreson , dimini dopresso " nothing happened at first , Rian cast the spell a second time, there was still no success . The third time, Rian channeled all his energy, he forcefully hit one fist on the ground and the sea did began to move. There was a sudden gush of wind spiraling from the ground and then into the sea. Waves, as tall as mountains moved and together formed a portal, a portal to the valley of Ragno. Rian fell to the ground exhausted, the sea was indeed too powerful
" Your highness " Dru rushed to his side " I told you this wasn't a good idea "
" Let's go in before the portal would close "
" You have to regain your strength, your highness " Dru coaxed
" I'm fine , let's go " he said and they both entered the portal. The portal was about to close when somebody else wearing a hood entered with them and only then did the portal close

( The castle)
Lily wore her boots and went out with Doric to attend today's classes
" Where did my brother go to again ? " Doric asked unsure ,she knew her brother was very stubborn and unwavering when it came to his decisions but, he always told her whenever he wanted to leave.
" I'm not sure, he didn't say. He only told me he was leaving " Lily pouted
" Would you look at that ? You miss him? " Doric intentionally teased her
" I'm his wife, after all "
" You don't have to say that to my face you know? " Doric said and they both laughed. Suddenly, Rosamund appeared in front of them.
" Hurry, lady Amstrid is about to make an important announcement for us I'm grade two " and she ran away. Lily and Doric looked at each other before they ran to class. When they got there, lady Amstrid was handing out special bows and arrows to all the women in grade two.
" Lily and Doric, you're late " Lady Amstrid scolded on seeing them
" I sent them on an errand, my lady " Princess Karina lied to protect them and they both mouthed a ' thank you ' to her.
" Today " lady Amstrid began " We begin the hunting game. We also want to see if you in grade two can aim for an object in motion "
" What are we to do my lady? " Elsa asked impatiently
" You are to hunt and kill three wild boars " lady Amstrid said
" That's easy " some of the ladies present smiled
" Yes but there is a condition, you have to aim the side of its head. If you aim for anywhere else, even if the animal dies, it's considered that you have failed " Lady Amstrid shocked them with her words, the smiles on their face dropped in an instant
" What? " Lily asked in disbelief
" The women who would complete and pass this trial would be promoted to grade three where we would start learning swordsmanship skills. Good luck "
