Holding the sword in hand, swift under the mans feet until he weeped to capitulate the Match. Vera held her sword towards the mans throat.
"Any Last Words Waksman?"
Waksman couldn't even swallow until someone seized the sword from Vera's hand. Vera jerked and left Waksman to breath. "Did I tell you Vera to stop playing games and try to become more sincere" said Amoks.
Vera brushed her hands into Amoks hair. Amoks had pale blue eyes that were so fierce that they can frighten a whole herd of wolfs. He's aged and spent his whole life training Vera to become what he couldn't, a hero to their people.
"I was just playing a game, after all Waksman was enjoying it, right?"
Waksman gave a weak nod, and stood up. Amoks eyed both of them, and said" Both of you come with me"
Vera and Waksman trailed Amoks through the village. They passed the Physican center, then headed towards the forest were there was a small chimney house in the front. They went in the horse stable, and pulled their swords. Amoks gave Waksman a moving stare and told him to leave them alone. Vera tied her light brown hair into a ponytail and held her sword like a guard. " Soo, what's our training for today?"
"Nothing"
"Nothing?"
Amoks gave her a small smile. "Vera, I spent my entire life raising you on my own, training you to be our peoples hope". He dropped his sword on the ground and looked at the clear blue sky." Your time has come, you are nearly eighteen "he sighted. " The King has grew even larger, made our peoples blood his own medicine, and started to take orphaned child to war".
Vera gave a fierce smile." He will never annihilate our people, not as long as I am alive to save them". Amoks went to Vera and looked into her light green eyes." Your day has come, you shall start your mission starting from Tomorrow".
"I will go pack then". Vera was going out the stable until Amoka stopped her.
"Whats is it?"
Amoks let go of her hand. "Remember, you will go to captain of the guards, tell him you the guard that will take position in protecting the king, and then you will begin".
"With best". She gave him a friendly nod and went to bed. Vera wore her hair into a bun and layed down on her bed. She thought of the stories told her about how the kingdom treated people and about the luxury that can blind a fly. She stared to the celling and imagined the stars. Tomorrow was the day she has been waiting for all her life, the day that everything will change. She shut her eyes, and slept.
