Just another Fantasy Story

Chapter three: Examination trouble!

I wake up and I check the grandfather clock, It's 7:32 in the morning. Hm, Better get ready because I might be late for the examination

I get out of bed and I leave to the washroom to get ready for the day

* after showering & etc *

I leave the washroom while drying my hair with a towel from my bag, I'm wearing my 'adventure' outfit again good thing it's still smells and looks good. I brush and tie up my hair to keep it out of my face, I check the clock again. It was 7:51, better start leaving

I take my sword & the little bag and I leave my room to see Ean also leaving his own room

" O-Oh, Good morning Ophelia "
" Are you heading to the examination too? " He asked

" Yeah I am actually, would you like to walk with me? " I offered while fiddling with the sword in my holster

" That'd be lovely "
He takes up my offer with a smile

I smile back at him and we start walking out of the inn to the examination arena, we start talking in a friendly manner but then I realized that Ean had no weapon for the examination

" Hey uhm Ean? "
" Yes, Ophelia? "
" I noticed that you don't have a weapon for the exam "
" Oh, I don't usually use weapons a-actually "
" what do you mean by that? "
" I–I uhm, Let's just say that I use my powers way more then weapons "

His powers? Wait–! I never asked him that!

" Oh, what is your power by the way? "
I ask curiously

" Oh uhm, my power is I can basically make black projectiles in the shape of.. scythes? Y'know what? I'll just show you "
He takes out his left hand and closes his eyes for second, when he opens his eyes there was a small dark glow coming from his palm and in the middle of the somber light there was a shape of a tiny scythe but he immediately closes his hand where the glow fades quickly

" That's my power, I guess? "
He chuckled lightly

" What's your power called? "
He looks at me in confusion but he immediately looks away bit embarrassed with a hint blush on his cheeks

" Oh uhm, It might sound a tad gothic but  I call it 'reaper's blade' "
He answers with an flustered tone

It's kinda of a nice name honestly I pondered to myself, I look back at him to see him wearing his mask again, I assume he's embarrassed again

I sighed quietly while patting him on the back to help him calm down as we were walking

As we continue walking, I noticed we were already at the gates of the arena

" Hey Ean, We're already here "

He removes his skull mask to see and he beams with excitement

We walk into the large arena to see a massive stage at the back and a crowd of people gathered around it, the people had weapons with them so, we assumed they were all trying to be knights aswell

We headed into the crowd and Ean checked his pocket watch in his pocket, it was already 8:56 am and that means the exam could start in a few short minutes. I start to fiddle with my sword's handl, wondering when it was going to start, till some footsteps were heard nearby
