Journey for The 10 Gemstones

Meet Stavenger

The alarm jolts open, and an entire stampede of seemingly desperate people. Some were praying, some were holding good luck charms, seems like whatever we signed up for. It was intense.

I'd now look back at Olivia and Noah, who seemed a little nervous. Olivia bites her lips, whilst sharpening her nails. Her delicate, white porcelain hands continue to embrace her fingertips like an embrace. Noah on the other hand was dripping with sweat, his teeth gritting. I looked over his iron boots, which seemed to be intensively shaking.

" Uhh... Why are you all so nervous..? "

Olivia shushes me, putting her hand over my mouth. She looked at me seriously, she has a clear stoic expression.

" We're gonna meet Howard Stavenger. Legendary Knight of Valia. He's part of a lead association of Elite Knights. Arcknights. "

My eyes widened in surprise... My idol, HOWARD STAVENGER! I was about to meet him, in-person, and if I pass the training exam. I'll get to train with him!

I'd now jump and screech in surprise, I'd now jump, getting a sign and writing

" WE LOVE YOU, STAVENGER! "

I'd now hold it up in the air, attempting to try and make my dream idol, Howard. To notice me. Ever since I was a child, I dreamt to be like him, Now I'll train to be him..!

Noah smirked, his amusement visible. His lushious tan skin was noticeable, and his white, porcelain teeth made a difference. Emanating an amused aura.

" Looks like someone is dedicated. "

He'd say, whistling as he said that. He continued watching over the stage, iron boots begin to clad. Everyone went silent, silent as a cricket. Murmuring can be heard, and finally. The legendary Knight, Howard Stavenger has appeared.



He'd now walked up, and finally removed his helmet. Revealing wavy brown hair, perfect blue eyes, his perfect, porcelain white skin. When I saw him, I could already hear the girls screeching. Oh wait, That was probably Olivia.

I'd now look over Olivia. Who was screeching at the sight of his removed helmet, She jumped in excitement and chanted

" HAVENGERR!!! "

Everyone continued to cheer and gasp.

Howard would now show up.

" Alright, alright everyone. Settle down. Settle down. "

He'd say, his skin looks white as new. He's the definition of an attractive man. Even I wanna fall for him. I continued to listen to Howard. An entire crowd of people had gathered.

Howard then said.

" Alright. For your first test..... You have to duel me. "

Everyone gasped in surprise, murmurs and whispers elevating the mysterious aura like a blanket. The mysterious aura soothed me. Waves of gasps, murmuring and shocked people echo through the air. Yet, Howard has a strangely unique aura out of all of them. His stoic expression echoed through the silence of the crowd.

" And... To make this more quicker, It's gonna be a 10v1. And the last people standing when they win will be the participants of the 2nd Stage. "

More gasps echoed through the air. Murmurs and whispered through the crowds like the plague, a blanket of intrigue wrapped around the crowd with each word that Howard said.

" Alright, Column 1! John, Maria, Dora, WHATEVER. "

The people came up, swords ready. The first knight-in-training, a cocky, bold guy laughed. And smirked
