Arcadia And The Legend Of The Elite Fore⚔

Prologue

My eyes flew open at the chill that had entered my room. I shut my eyes and counted the hours I had left to rest. With a displeasing groan I slowly rose from my bed and eyed the widow across from me. The sheer curtain that was hung over the window danced whimsically before me. Narrowing my gaze I though to myself,"I could have sworn I closed that."

Swinging my legs of the side of my bed, I slowly made my way over to the window. Griping the bottom I pulled it shut with more force than was needed. A sudden sense of de ja vu washed over me. Not only shut this window, I had locked it.

Behind me I heard the unsheathing of blades and the intake of even breaths. I was not alone. I reacted as if on impulse and side stepped the airborne knifes that had come flying through the air, shattered the glass and went flying out the window. I turned around to view my opponent and was careful of the broken glass the airborne knifes had left in its wake.

They had two swords and good footwork too. I only had a second to process the information before I saw the two blades cut the air before me. I dodged and evaded as my enemy combined deadly strikes with fluid spins.

"Stop with the defense! Attack Arcadia!", I heard Naomi bark at me.

I studied their attacks and waited for an opening. As if on cue my opponent swirved forward. This was the opening I needed. I attacked and pursued them with kicks and blows effortlessly coordinated. I watched my opponent lose their footing and delivered a deadly blow to their abdomen.

They flew back against the wall. I saw my opponent begin to unmask themself and caught a glimpse of the sword she had tattooed on her forearm. She was one of Naomi's trusted guards.I knelt down and drew in deep breaths.

"Raise Arcadia, and face me.", I did exactly as Naomi instructed and turned my attention away from the guard to her. She smiled at me warmly as she made her way over to me from across the room. Her green pale eyes gleaned with pride as she placed her hands behind her back and straightened her posture. "You are now ready for Silver and Grey.", Finally, I was one step closer to answers.
