The Dark Elf: The Last Goodbye

The Quest Of The Strength Stone

The fourth quest was for The Strength Stone. Lee had spent the night before, reading the quests other Kings have done for the strength stone and finally, his day had come for his fourth quest.

Lee woke early that morning to change and head to the tavern for something to eat before his quest was to start.

Quincy made his way to the front of the bar to where Lee was finishing his meal.

"Lee Snow?"

"Yes?" Lee looked up to the older man.

"It is time to begin your fourth quest." Quincy spoke.

Lee stood to his feet and followed the black haired man out of the tavern.

The two made their way through a green, grassy meadow until they came upon the area where the five portals stood open, hovering above the ground.

Lee stood in front of the opening of the fourth portal. He looked over to Quincy and gave a nod of his head.

"For this quest, you will have to compete and show your strength in sword combat . I wish you luck."

And with that, Lee walked into the portal and disappeared to the other side.

As the Lee reached the other side, he was met by the same different coloured and patterned dream catchers, hovering above his head, floating in the air.

As the future king of Brunuhville ventured off through the Dream Realm, the dream catchers began to fade away and the Brunuhville training ground began to fade in in front of Lee.

Lee looked around himself to see that everything in front and around him was like the real training grounds back in Brunuhville. But he knew this was all in the Dream Realm.

Lee walked over to one of the straw filled potato sack dummies that was held up by a wooden pole. Lee looked to the side of the dummy to see a wooden sword rack with three swords stood firmly against it.

He took hold of one of the swords, even though he had his own, and pulled it out from the wooden rack. He stood back in front of the dummy, took hold of the sword in both hands and began to swing the sword towards the dummy.

Some time had passed and Lee was now swinging the sword with one hand, not missing any of his shots.

Standing in the background, watching Lee, was Sam. He stood with his back against the wall with both his arms and one if his legs crossed as he watched Lee never miss a swing.

Sam walked over to Lee clapping his hands together. Lee turned around and smiled when he saw the leader of the Golden Knights.

"It is great to see that you have not lost touch in your swordsmanship Lee. I am still impressed with how well you have done and how far you have grown." Sam smiled.

"Thank you. So what are my tasks to gain the strength stone?" Lee questioned.

"You have three tasks to complete. Task one; you will have to fight Zak in sword combat." Sam spoke as he pointed over to Zak who was ready to test his King's talent.

"Task two; you will have to fight a goblin archer with your sword." Sam spoke as he pointed over to the small goblin archer ready to fight.

"And your third and final Task you will have to wait and see who or what you will be up against." Sam smirked.

Lee looked at Zak and then back at Sam with a smile on his face.
