Elissa...Elissa come home, we miss you. "Mom! Dad!" I scream and sit straight up in my bed. "What's happening?" Asks Darya new-awaked. "I'm sorry if I scared you, it was just a nightmare." I say and rub my tired eyes. Yesterday after Sylas told us about what's going on, we all went to bed. The cabin is quite small. Enlil and Jay share one room, Darya and I share another room, and Sylas sleep in the big room. In the cabin is it two smaller bedrooms and one big room, which is kitchen, livingroom, and dining room in one. Raven jumps up in my bed. "What is it?" He licks my hand. "Just a nigtmare." I say. Darya, who doesn't seems to be a morning person, looks irritated at me. "Well, I'm gonna try to sleep now." She says. Only a few minutes later, someone's knocking on the door. "Hello, time to wake up now!" Says Jay happy. Darya looks angry at the door, and almost throw the pillow at it. "Okay, coming!" I say and jump out of my bed. "How can you do that? Mornings are evil!" Says Darya. I have always been a morning person, so it doesn't take more than a few minutes for me to dress and brush my hair. "Well, I'm a morning person." I say and smile when Darya slowly crawls down from her bed. "I'm coming when I'm ready." She says. "Okay, see you then!" I say happy and go out to the big room. When I open the door I can feel that someone is making breakfast. Jay, Sylas, and Enlil are already sitting at the table. "Good morning." Says Sylas and smile. "Good morning. What's the plan for today?" I say and sit down at the table. "Today I'm going to show you some weapons." Says Sylas. I look surprised at him. "You can't just walk around here without anything to defend yourself with." He says. Then the door to my and Daryas room opens, and Darya comes out. "Wow! You're up!" Says Enlil and laughs. "I really don't like early mornings." Says Darya, and I can see a little smile on her face. Darya and Enlil seems to be wery close siblings. "What kind of weapons are you gonna show us?" I ask Sylas. "You will see." He says and smile.

After breakfast, we all are gathered outside the cabin. Well everyone except the animals, they stayed inside the stable , and probably sleep now. I'm very curious and nervous about all this 'Element keepers' stuff. "Okay, have anyone of you any experience with any weapon?" Asks Sylas and looks at us four. Silence. "Wow, I have much to learn you." Says Sylas when no one answers. Sylas holds up something that looks like a massive large knife. "Does anyone knows what this is?" He asks. I know what it is. "It's a dagger, smaller than a sword but just as dangerous." I say and smile shy when Darya, Enlil, and Jay looks surprised at me. "Well done Elissa." Says Sylas. It feels like I've just won an award, that's how proud I am. But the luck doesn't last long. "Do you know what this is then?" Asks Sylas and holds up a long stick. I've never seen something like it before. "Ehh." I say nervous. "Is it a fighting-stick?" I say. Sylas looks at us four. "Anyone who knows?" He asks. "Okay, now then?" Asks Sylas. I wanted to hit myself. He put a lace-looking thing on the stick and bows it. "It's a bow." I say sighting. "Well done, can you shoot with it?" Says sylas and gives the bow to me. The bow must be about 180-200cm long. I've read about this kind of bow, it's a longbow. "What's the pulling weight?" I ask and try to pull the bow, whit out any success. "About 45-50 kilos." Says Sylas and smile when he sees my surprised face. "You can try to hit that tree over there." Says Sylas and points at a tree 20 meters from us. "Okay I can try." I say nervous. I put an arrow with green feathers on the bowstring and pull the bow. I try to aim as good as I can, and then I release the arrow. "AOUCH! How could I forget?!" I scream. I forgot to put on a arm protection, so the bowstring hit my arm. I look up from my wounded arm to see if I the arrow hit the tree. It missed the tree by 15 meters, I managed to shoot it five meters. Stubborn as I am, I go to get the arrow to shoot again. Sylas smile when he see my focused face. "Anyone else who want to try?" He asks. No one answers. "Well, Elissa, it looks like you get the longbow as your weapon." Says Sylas. I sighs. "You just need practice." Says Sylas. It feels like there is hope after all. "A lot of practice." Says Sylas, and the little hope I had get's smaller. "What is my weapon?" Asks Darya. "This." Says Sylas and holds up a small dagger. The handle looks like it's made of silver, and the blade has a deep-blue shimmer. "Wow! It's amazing!" Says Darya and takes the dagger like it was made of sand. "You don't have to be that careful, it won't break, sis." Says Enlil and laughs. Darya gives her brother a angry look, but she can't hold it for more than five seconds before everyone starts laughing. "Enlil, here is your weapon." Says Sylas. Everyone stops laughing and look at Sylas. He picks up a sword from the ground, it's big with a golden handle. Enlil goes forward to take it. Suddenly Sylas swing the sword at Enlil, who backs away surprised. Then Enlil suddenly has two knifes in his hands. He put them in a X in front of the sword. That makes Sylas loose his grip of the sword, and it falls to the ground. Everyone stares surprised at Sylas. Enlil is the first one to react. "What was that good for?" He asks angry and surprised. "Didn't you notice how you suddenly had two knives in your hands?" Asks Sylas.
