Malikor:
I sat in front of Caitlyn and she began her obnoxious ramblings about how the new council and the new king were all better for the kingdom how the old ways were only good for the rich, OF course she would say that since she was one of those poor trash if it wasn't for that old drunk giving the layout of all are weak spots they would've never won if they gave sentinel time to actually fight they would've all fallen to his power but there all cowards and fools I've played with their ideocracy for too long just waiting for sentinel to come back but it seems he might've actually fallen. So I will bring this kingdom back to its actually glory. I got out of Caitlyn office which was some shack a couple minutes from the camp, I made my way back into the kingdom and went down a dark unlit alleyway i stopped half way and spoke to the shadow
"Who are you and what do you want! "I said menacingly
the shadow spoke back in a crackly voice
"Ah Mr.Malikor your strength has been seen by HIS majesty and wishes to aid you in recovering your kingdom back with you as its king"
"Who do you mean HIS majesty and how do you know I want to recover my kingdom back"
"ah do not be afraid Mr.Malikor as There is only one HE you all know HIM all HE wishes is for your help once you've done that HE will grant you everything you have wished"
"I don't know who HE i.."
I stopped as i now knew Who HE was, The most feared man in all the three kingdoms, does he already have spy's in the kingdom already tsk that doesn't matter right now what matters is HIS offering HIS help to me if HIS on my side nothing can stop me HA HAHAAHA GREAT,GOD TRULLY DOES BLESS THOSE WHO ARE GOOD!
"Fine I accept what do i have to do."
It spoke back happily
"GREAT GREAT yes now the only thing you have to do is kill that boy you were sparring with once that is done HIS majesty will send his army over and help you take it over."
"There's only one problem to that, I got suspended so i cant go to the training grounds."
"AH that's ok there's no rush, all HIS majesty wants is for that boy to die. Will that be all?"
"Yes. "I said with a grin forming on my face
The shadow vanished and I continued walking back to my house with a gigantic smiling on my face not only do i get to be king but i get to kill that annoying boy and while I'm at it ill kill that bitch Caitlyn ahahaha life is good."
William:
I woke up but my eyes remain shut i tried to open them but they refused to open for a moment i thought that Malikor killed me but that quickly went away as i could feel myself breath. I just laid there i tried to hear anything but nothing i assumed that it was midnight i tried to go back to sleep but couldn't as the pain in my chest was just right to were I couldn't fall asleep, so instead i tried to meditate and focus on the wind mana trying to see if mana would come to me, a few minutes passed and some wind mana came and observed me closer than usually they flew all around my body but none came into my body they just kept observing and flying all over me.Until one came to me closer than the rest and flew to my chest just observing then went into my body the rest just flew above my body and one by one went into my body.
The feeling was like nothing I've felt this was pure wind mana, with the other technique you force the mana to come into your body so you lose a lot of the pureness resulting in you having to pull in hugh amounts of mana to make at least one basic spell but with this method all i would have to do i meditate for a couple minutes and have enough mana for multiply fights. All i would have to do i learn how to use the wind to make myself as fast as i could, I felt excited and with that excitement my eyes open to see Evelyn continue to heal my body her whole body relaxed when she saw my eyes open and she spoke her voice seeming very tiered
"Jeez I thought I was gonna lose you whisk"
it took me a couple seconds to take all the information i had just received when i open my eyes the first was that I was apparently dying and Evelyn managed to safe me the second was the Arthur was also in the room across from me laying in a bed from the look it didn't seem like Arthur was greatly injured so i turn my attention back to Evelyn where she had a smile looking at me so i spoke and the words coming out of my mouth sounded so ruff and dry
"Thank you "I coughed
"Don't speak right now whisk,Malikor gave you a injury that should've killed you so just rest for now also key is here his not hurt he just overexerted himself so don't worry about him."
I tried to say thank you but the words just didn't come out, Evelyn walked out the room. I pulled my white shirt up to see that where Malikor punched a hole in, but it had been healed the only thing there was a red outline of where the injury was i pulled my shirt down and began to gather as much wind mana as i could but instead i fell asleep.
"Alright, that's enough for today, everyone. Go rest and gather all your strength for tomorrow's test. Dismissed!" Sergeant Caitlyn yelled out.
It had been a week since the incident involving Malikor. From what I heard, Malikor disappeared after getting suspended. After that, I got put with Sergeant Caitlyn and her group. Arthur and I fought with Sergeant Caitlyn for the remaining time, in which I figured out how to use my wind spells with the help of Arthur and another student named Zax. Since Arthur and I were stronger than the rest of the group, our training revolved around trying to take down Sergeant Caitlyn, while the others worked on improving their bodies and their technique. Since the last day of training was today, that meant that tomorrow was test day. In which we had to fight Sergeant Caitlyn one on one. For the others, the way they pass is if they do well against her. Ours was different; since we've been sparring with her all this time, the way to pass, the way to get the rank we wanted, was to beat her, which would be a challenge.
"Jeez, William, do you think we can beat her? We've been fighting her two on one and we still can't win, so going one on one is going to be nearly impossible," Arthur said as we got into our room.
"Impossible or not, we have to win for our mission," I said, changing clothes.
"William, we got our butts kicked. There's no way in hell we're beating her solo," Arthur exclaimed.
"I'm sure she went all out when we were fighting her, but she'll lower her power once we go head to head. She knows we can't beat her with her full strength, so she'll lower herself to a level where we can reach but also struggle," I said calmly.
"Eh, I guess," Arthur said, falling onto his bed.
Then a knock came from the door. I opened it and saw Evelyn and Zax. Evelyn spoke first.
"Hey, Whisk, me and Zax are going to throw a little celebration for surviving the camp. Would you and Key like to join us?" Evelyn asked nicely.
I was about to decline her offer, but Arthur yelled from behind me.
"YES, WE WOULD!"
"Alright, we'll be downstairs waiting for you guys," Zax said.
I nodded and closed the door, then spoke to Arthur, who was still laying in bed.
"I didn't want to go, Arthur. I wanted to meditate and sleep," I said sternly.
"Well, when do you ever want to do anything? All you want to do is train, you lame-o. If I weren't by your side, you would be inside 24/7 training all day, no life, no friends, and no love life!" Arthur said mockingly.
"So what? At least I would be strong. As for love, I don't wish to protect more people. I'm already protecting you and the princess."
"Aww, so you do care for us. How sweet!" Arthur said, clapping his hands together.
I rolled my eyes.
"Well, get up. We have somewhere to be because of you."
Arthur got up, and we left the room and headed downstairs. Once arriving downstairs, both Evelyn and Zax greeted us again, and Zax spoke.
"Okay, before we head out, we're going to have to blindfold you two."
Both Arthur and I looked at each other, but couldn't see each other's facial expressions due to the masks we wore. Zax began speaking again.
"Just trust us, okay?"
Zax and Evelyn came over and blindfolded where the eyes of the masks were. Evelyn spoke to me.
"Here, take my hand. I'll lead you."
Evelyn grabbed my hand, and we began walking but stopped as we heard Arthur and Zax bicker. Arthur was yelling.
"NO, I don't want to grab a dude's hand. I only grab the finest hands of women, not some dirty dude. Release me at once, you!"
"Stop being such a crybaby and just grab my hand, dude. It's not going to kill you!" Zax said, trying to hold Arthur's hand.
I got pulled by Evelyn towards them, and she held Arthur's hand. Arthur spoke.
"Why is your hand so soft and small, Zax? I thought your hand was more like a Grumbaloo, you know, big, hairy, and rough."
"Well, that's because it's my hand, Key," Evelyn spoke softly.
"ALRIGHT!" Arthur yelled excitedly.
Once that was done, the both of us were led to the unnamed location. The walk didn't seem far, just a couple of minutes away. Once we arrived, they told us to remove our masks, and a group of people yelled, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WHISK AND KEY!"
I assumed Arthur was as confused as I was because it was indeed not our birthday. Then Evelyn spoke.
"Why didn't you guys tell us yourselves? The only reason I found out was that was because I asked Caitlyn about you two, and she told us your birthdays."
Arthur spoke first, and he sounded hurt.
"Well, you see, our birthday involves terrible memories, so we chose to ignore this terrible day," Arthur said, looking away and putting his hand in front of his face.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. We'll put away all the food and alcohol," Evelyn said.
Arthur quickly looked back and spoke extremely fast.
"Well, now that everyone's here, why waste all this time and effort everyone put in? Let's celebrate! What alcohol did you get?"
Arthur followed Zax to the alcohol, and Evelyn came up to me with a sorrowful expression and spoke.
"We don't have to celebrate if you don't want to, Whisk. I just thought that..."
I cut her off and said.
"It's quite alright. It's been years since that thing happened. I think we can celebrate now," I told her in a happy voice.
For the next five hours, we all celebrated. Arthur got blackout drunk, as did Zax, and they started to take off their shirts and sing together on top of the tables. The other people left one by one, and by the 5th hour, all that was left was Arthur passed out on a table, Zax passed out under the table, and Evelyn cleaning up the mess those two left. So, I helped her clean up.
"Sorry about Art... I mean Key, Evelyn,"
Evelyn smiled at me and told me, "It's fine. They both earned one night of fun. That's why we invited you two."
We continued cleaning everything in silence until everything was done.
"Can you take Zax back to his room, Whisk, while I take everything to the trash?" Evelyn asked.
I nodded and carried the shirtless men to their rooms. First was Zax; he lived a couple of rooms down, so I just laid him onto his bed. Then I carried Arthur back to our room and placed him onto his bed. I thought about going to help Evelyn, but sleep overcame me, and fell asleep.
