Poem Salazar is an honored knight, from the great Salazar family. She works at the Floran palace like her ancestry. She's a great knight, who knows if it's in her blood or not, but she can slice an Android within a minute or even less.

"Great work out there Salazar!" Her coach stated contently. "You really do work as hard as your father! Maybe you'll even surpass his skills!"

         "Thanks.." Poem replied while looking away. She proceeded to get up and walk to where the main exit was.

"Wait where are you going?!?" Her coach said looking up in surprise.

"Home." Poem said not even looking back. Poem lied. She headed to the entrance of the main room of the Palace.

       "What it do homie" A mysterious voice called out as she entered. However, it wasn't all mysterious to Poem.

"Cassandra please.." Poem said looking over at her. "You attend a private school yet you still can't speak proper English?.." Cassandra began to speak

"First of all, I told you not to call me that. I said to call to Kass. Second, why would that matter?" Cassandra spoke back. Poem rolled her eyes and continued walking down. "Hey? Where you going bro?!" Kass spoke again

      "You're not the queen yet, now are you? I don't have to obey you." Poem mumbled. Poem continued walking down the hall.
"WHY DO I ALWAYS FEEL SO WEIRD AROUND HER" Poem thought while walking. "Do I have THOSE type of feelings for her?.. But that's weird! She probably has an arranged marriage awaiting for her! And- and- I'M A GIRL!! AND SO IS SHE!! GRAGHH!!"

       "Poem?.. Is something wrong?" King Kinjari spoke looking down at the troubled Poem.
"O-OH!! King Kinjari!" Poem bowed nervously.
"What seems to be the problem Poem?" Kinjari asked. Poem looked up nervously and spoke.

       "Well.. your majesty.. It's just that I uh.. I think I'm too far experienced to keep training!" Poem practically mumbled. "I keep beating all my fellow knights! Every single time! Can't I get anything better then this!?" Poem shouted, but then she thought, then proceeded to add ;

" I-I respect the army and kingdom and all that, However, I think that my class of knights is far superior than the highest ranking here, can I not be offered something to hone my skills more? B-but of course it's just a question!"

          "Well.." Kinjari started "I only have one option.. and honestly I'd prefer if you accept it.." Poem listened eagerly, anticipating a great opportunity. "You can protect my daughter, Cassandra! The princess of Kool! Like a bodyguard" Poem's face became blank.

"W-what." Poem thought about it. "Disappointing the king is the last thing I want.. it could affect my families legacy and reputation."  Poem signed and looked back up at the King. "I-I'll do it." She said embarrassed.

"Wonderful!" Kinjari happily replied. "You'll start tomorrow. I expect you to come back to me everyday with a report on what happened or what you guys did. I'm suspicious on why she stays out so late." Poem was starting to reconsider her decision.

"I have to rat her out to her father?.. That's just unloyal and barbaric!" But, at last she just nodded and started her way out the palace.

       She got home and was congratulated by her mother. "You make me so proud! Your father would be proud of you too!" She said as she hugged Poem. Poem hugged her back, feeling a sort of reassurance from that comment. Once she got to her bed, she sat down and started thinking about all the consequences of this.

"I'm gonna spend my whole day with HER?? I'm not gonna last a day! I'm gonna explode, Implode, Obliterate, A-and just do anything with erupting!" She finally got into bed and started dozing off. "What am I gonna do.." She though before finally falling asleep.
