Seven of the Saber Holders

Chapter 1: Birthday Present

Chapter 1: Birthday Present

"Holders of the Saber Cards... They are said to be the protectors of the world, granted with the God of Destiny's blessing, and were to be reincarnated every generation. However, legends say that the Saber Card's powers completely disappeared off of the face of the planet and never returned since the last one hundred years. But, were they actually real or were they just a famous folktale?"

With a sigh escaping from his mouth, a pale blonde haired male sat boredly at his desk as he tapped his fingers against his desk. 'Holders of the Saber Cards... Psh. Like they actually exists. Why are we even learning about this in school when there's no actual evidence to prove their existence? It's a complete waste of time and energy...'

"And so the girl, who I was with, was hella hot and- Sawyer, are you even listening to me?"

The said boy whipped his head around, "What? Oh yeah, totally..." He muttered, before going back to droning out his friend who sat beside him.

"So, anyways, like I was saying, this girl will totally be my last love, I swear it."

"Ryder, you say that every single time you date a girl. I'm sure you'll just easily lose interest in her within a second this time and the next... And the next after... And the next... And then the next... And then the-"

"Okay, I got it dude, jeez! No need for the over kill..." The dark brown haired boy mumbled, "You should've been there though. It was super fun."

"Pfft, yeah right... I would just be the random third wheel. Plus, I don't want to be in the middle of your stupid so-called, 'love life'." Sawyer replied easily, making the opposing male nearly choke on his own breath.

"Hey! My life is not stupi-"

"Mr. Zarion and Mr. Rotiart, if you two cannot stay quiet, I will have to force you two out of the class so the students who what to learn can focus without your loud chatter. Do you understand me?"

Sawyer sighed and quickly apologized to his teacher, while Ryder just rolled his eyes and ignored the venomous woman. 'Great... That's the third warning this week...' The emerald eyed boy thought angrily, 'Thanks a lot, Ryder. You just made the both of us one step closer to getting kicked out of this class for good...' As he sat in his desk, ignoring his best friend's constant rambles, the bell finally rang and Sawyer quickly packed his things and left the classroom, with Ryder trailing from behind.

"Hey! Wait up, dude!" Ryder called out, running to catch up with the blonde haired male. "Oh come on... You seriously can't be giving me the silent treatment...!" No response... "You're acting like a little five year old right now!" Still no response... "Alright, alright! I'm sorry, okay! At least let me treat you today for your birthday! At the end of the day, you can be mad at me for as long as you want. I promise."

Sawyer slightly turned his head to face his friend before sighing heavily. "Fiiiiine... But you better not get me in trouble again. For now... I'll forgive you."

"Yes! You're the best, Sawyer!" The amber eyed male grinned widely while smacking the said boy's back hard with happiness, before wrapping his arm around him. "You won't be disappointed, I swear it! Now, let's go and eat first. I'm starving!"

"Alright, alright. Just let me drop off my things at my dorm room first, okay? Wait for me at the front of the school. I'll be back in a jiffy." And with that, Sawyer turn on his heel and quickly ran towards his room the large college campus. He didn't want Ryder to wait for him, so he ran as fast as he could, weaving through the crowded hallways filled with students. Once he left out from the back exit of the building that was the fastest route to his destination, he dashed towards his dorm as fast as he could. However, since he was focusing on getting to his room as fast as he could, he didn't notice a person turn around a building corner towards his direction and the two instantly collided. Sawyer immediately fell down from the power force from the figure, but the said person was only knocked a step back.
