The Realm Of Reklaan

Chapter 3 - Galen

Galen had managed to survive through the whole day. The only class left now was that extra class. As he entered the classroom, he saw that the everyone was standing together. The teacher, a short old woman stood before them, waiting for everyone to become silent.

Galen joined the group as the old woman said, "Hello, my name is Rory and I'm here to teach you how to fight with a sword."

As she finished saying that, there were some chuckles around the class. Galen wondered how she could even manage to lift a sword.

Rory who seemed used to this, ignored them and called upon a volunteer. A bulky guy stepped forward. She motioned him to take a sword.

Galen felt this match would take a few seconds and the guy would thrash her.

He was right about the time of the match just wrong about the victor.

As they started, his classmate charged forward towards Rory. But in one quick sweep of a movement, the guy was lying on the floor, groaning from the pain.

There was deathly silence in the class as they stared at her in absolute amazement.

Rory chuckled and said," Yes that's how bad you all are, now all of you pick up your swords and pair yourselves up."

The class, with some newfound respect for their teacher, hurried up.

Two hours of absolute mayhem ensued. Galen's hands were absolutely aching and he was sure that he would not be able to move his hands for sometime.

Rory now facing the exhausted class said, "Not bad for first timers, since you all did so well, I decided that I would take on someone closer to my skill level."

A young man who looked a few years older then Galen entered the classroom.

Rory said,"This is Jake. He is my student and assistant."

Silently, both master and pupil took their positions facing each other . The fight commenced but both stood still. Just as everyone started wondering what was going on, Jake sprinted forward and lunged at Rory with his sword. However Rory easily defended herself and even managed to throw him back. Soon each of them were attacking each other very ferociously. However Rory outclassed her assistant by miles. Finally, both stood at each end of the room, ready to deal for what seem to be the deciding moves. Both charged at each other at the same time. Galen, who was just as astonished at this skill set as the person next to him, suddenly saw a purple light emit from Rory and a yellow one from Jake. Their swords seem to change in sight. But in a fraction of a second it was all over, Rory had left Jake groaning on the floor. It seemed to Galen that nobody else had seen what he had just witnessed in front of him a few seconds ago. He thought his eyes must be seeing things at first but then remembered that the optometrist had deemed his eyesight normal just last week so he couldn't be seeing things.

The class started to leave and Rory and her assistant started packing up. Galen wondered whether he should ask them what was that. But they themselves may think that he is weird.

" Naah... they must know something about that fancy gimmick they just did"

However he wasn't sure how to approach them. He was saved of doing that though because the old lady Rory came up to him and said, " Hey kiddo, what are you still doing here? Your classmates left already."
Galen was for some reason nervous but still managed to say, " I kinda noticed some purple light come out from you and..."

Galen wanted to hit himself so badly cause he realised how dumb he sounded right now and he was right because Rory was staring at him.

Rory said somewhat hurriedly, "Kiddo, you must have been dreaming or something. Why don't you go home and take bit of rest."

Galen was so embarrassed that he just nodded and started to leave. Just as he was about to close the door behind him, Rory asked him," What's your name kiddo ?"

"Galen", he said before leaving.

However he heard Rory say," What an interesting name."

Galen decided to heed the weird woman's advice but for some reason he felt that he had actually seen those weird things happen. He decided to ponder upon this later and went on his way to his home.

RORY

Back in class, Rory was talking to Jake. She said," I think they may have actually found him this time Jake. He saw us when we fought."

Jake however, was skeptical.

"Even if he was the one, he couldn't have seen us, nobody this raw ever has. "

"Well he must be very powerful then."

"If he could see us now in his raw state then he is potentially the most powerful, Reklaan has ever seen."

"Maybe he is...maybe he is." Rory said silently.

"Well should we inform them then?"

"No, it's their mission, we weren't supposed to be here and we wouldn't have if the old man hadn't insisted."

"I suppose..." Jake reluctantly agreed.

"I like that kiddo though, I hope he is the one." said Rory with a chuckle.

And with that Chapter 3 is done. What did you guys think? It would be awesome to hear your thoughts.
I know that you guys don't know much that's going on. As much as Galen really. But you will when Galen does. The Rory POV was a special that I thought of at the last moment, as of now I don't plan to actually include POVs of characters other then Galen and Rayne, but who knows.

So guys, please do vote, comment and share cause that would be awesome
