-The sunlight came through the window, while the noise of people passing by outside increased.. it seems that I fell asleep while I was reading, I turned to look at my brothers' bed, they were not there, it seems that they got up early, it was strange, walking towards the kitchen, my mother was making breakfast, I did not see my father, it seems that he got up to go to the market to buy what was missing with my brothers, it seems that it is only her and I.
"Good morning, how did you sleep?"
"Well, I think, can I help you with something?"
"No, it's almost done, why don't you get ready to leave as soon as possible"
"Okay"
-I returned to the bedroom, my hair was messy, the gray strands had combined like roots with the brown strands, arranging the rebellious strands, I began to comb my hair, I tried several styles, but in the end I decided on a side braid, my brown eyes looked slightly tired, I simply washed my face, while I got dressed I heard my brothers and my father talking, although it also seemed that someone else was coming with them.
"So, it wasn't a coincidence that we met the captain?"
"That's right, we were actually waiting for a messenger from another kingdom"
Caleb happily expressed the fortune we had had while drinking something similar to beer. My father seemed interested
"And who were they waiting for?"
"They were knights of the Fyrelis kingdom, it seems that an alliance is going to be celebrated in a few days, but they didn't hear anything from me, professor, ehh"
-While they were talking, Thomas and Alan quickly approached, stretching out their hands to give me a small keychain. It was cute, made with the plumage of a Eurycia, a bird that lives in the desert. It is normally attributed with hope since these birds live near water sources. Its feathers were yellow like sand and were really beautiful, but they didn't compare to my brothers' smiles.
"What do you think? Do you like it?"
"We chose it together."
"I love it, thank you both very much."
-While I hugged them, I looked at the gift they gave me. It was something that seemed very familiar to me, but unexpectedly it made me a little sad.
"Children come, we're going to eat now"
-We sat at the table to have breakfast, my father and Caleb continued talking happily about their reunion, while drinking coffee with bread, suddenly Thomas joined the conversation.
"Why did you become a knight?"
"Well, you see..." She turned to look at my father in search of approval when he nodded politely and began to tell her story with joy.
"A couple of months ago a group of masked people came to the inn, there was nothing wrong with them, they had the usual luggage of an adventurer so we thought they were some, but one day in the square they started to announce the end of the sun and I don't know what else..., anyway they tried to blow up the central pond, but it had a barrier that prevented their attacks from doing any damage, they called attention and quickly several knights showed up to stop them, it was then that a battle began where both sides were injured, seeing themselves cornered, two of them escaped back to the inn and well... that was when they took us all hostage inside the inn"
-His cheerful tone fell a little in the telling of his story, clenching his fists slightly he continued telling.
"Fear flooded me, we were surrounded behind the counter, but my sister being as reckless as always distracted the terrorists by activating a special alarm that we have, so that everyone in the inn could escape unfortunately we could not get out, they had gotten angry they were discussing how they were going to escape"
"We just need a weak hostage" One of them said while looking at my sister maliciously through his mask
"Fear flooded me, I ran towards them to stop them while I yelled at Drey to run away, I felt a great pain he had kicked me to stop me, but I did not stop and I managed to grab onto one of them I continued screaming and watching as Drey ran, when an intense cold entered my body, apparently I had been stabbed by the other"
"Drey was already halfway down the hall towards the exit, while crying she screamed for help, one of the terrorists threw a dagger straight at her, my vision was a little blurry I wanted to get up it seemed that everything was over, but Then the captain arrived, the plants in the hallway grew enormously forming a barrier around us, capturing the terrorists in the process, I couldn't believe it, my wounds were healing where leaves were wilting, it was the first time I saw someone using Vitaly"
"After that, everyone was arrested while the captain apologized for the lack of security, that made me realize how weak I was, so I signed up for the cavalry entrance exam, even though Drey didn't want me to, I trained for several days and finally passed... because of that event now the security is stricter, and it is said that it was demons who attacked us, but with their faces covered it was never known."
-Everyone at the table was speechless at such a story, Alan seemed to want to say something when he was interrupted.
"! So can I be your apprentice?"
-Thomas looked at him with eyes full of admiration. While the atmosphere of the table returned to normal
"It's not like in other professions you know... I said before you must take a test to be recognized as an apprentice, just like your sister"
-If that's so, wait what? Did I hear right, do I have to take a test? I turned to look at my father quickly with a serious look, no one had told me. My nervous father avoided eye contact.
"What are you talking about?"
"I hadn't told you teacher?"
"Well, the test is actually simple so I didn't find a reason to tell you"
"Anyway, you're just going to register as an apprentice so you have a month to study"
-He was right I have time to develop my skills before taking the test to be recognized as an apprentice. While I thought everyone was watching me, my mother took my hand with which she was holding my chin.
"So what "You say we're going to register?"
-My brothers had already packed everything before I realized, how fast these two were, I nodded with a smile as we went outside. We went down the stairs, Drey got up from the reception to say goodbye to Caleb who seemed embarrassed by his sister's actions, however, it was noticeable that he actually liked her, the small gesture on his face showed it. Already at the door we said goodbye to Caleb who was running in the opposite direction to us wishing us joy.
-We headed towards the academy as we approached the long walls that hid it began to appear, the main entrance was open several people entered and left, without realizing it I was already in the middle of a large garden, in front of me a huge building rose before my eyes, full of glass walls, circular columns, sloping roofs, doors that opened by themselves and different floors of different sizes.
-It was clear that the academy had been built by heroes, the technology that was in the building was not known or common in all the other areas, the various bridges that crossed the lobby created a labyrinth on the ceiling. As soon as we entered a lady had greeted us giving us a kind of token allowing us to sit on some benches they had to wait for our turn while a black crystal changed shape to show our turn.
-It was like a fantasy, several artifacts could be seen, Thomas and Alan were observing everything around them. My father explained to my mother about what he saw, they really seemed to be very much in love, a short time had passed and the black crystal already showed our number.
"Let's go Viana"
-I got up next to my father, while my mother and my brothers remained seated.
"Mom and my brothers aren't coming?"
"No, they can't go in, but they surely won't get bored in a place like this, don't you think?"
"You're right, it's like another world here."
"It certainly is another world."
-Happy to be here, I followed my father to the counter where we were expected to register. The young man who attended to us smiled politely as he gave us the form to fill out.
"You just have to put your name, the name of the person who will be your teacher, the basic skills you have and the amount of Vitaly you possess and that would be enough, do you have any questions?"
-I had been waiting for this for a long time, I hadn't let them ruin my ability to surprise everyone with my incredible talent, and it was more exciting this way. Nervous, I said what I had wanted to say for a long time.
"Excuse me, I haven't measured my ability to use the Vitaly yet"
"Really? Don't worry, we can check your ability right here, just give me a few minutes"
"Sure"
-Not much time passed when he came back with a helmet made of several plates that moved, it was very strange, several cables came out of it, which he began to connect on the desk, then he began to accommodate my head with the helmet, each plate could fit perfectly on my head, in the end the helmet seemed to be made to measure, while the young man indicated to me that he would begin the process "please don't get scared" several noises began to sound, the plates began to shine a deep blue while in my mind I thought.
-I'm nervous what happens if I don't have it, but as far as I know, we call Vitaly the vital energy of the body, there is no living being that does not have it, in turn everyone can use this energy, however, this energy has 6 different natural forms depending on what form your heart has you may have a better affinity with one element or another, also not all people have the same amount of vital energy, although this is not an impediment since you can train and improve this reserve, although normally the heart takes shape after 18 there are cases where it can be known before I wonder what kind of heart I have?
