The Holy Knights

New queen, which meant new servers. Some of our recent knights have become to old to fight and became elders. Which meant we needed new ones. I entered the training grounds to see a line of men and women with armor on ready to show what they have trained for. I met up with the Head of the Knights. People call him Lord Ace since he plays an important role in the kingdom, so I call him that too even though I'm higher class. "We have about 58 people here willing to join Lady Chantel," he said. 58 isn't a big number but it's better than 10. "Ok I would like to watch them train and maybe see if some people aren't prepared for this," I said to him and walked to the wooden tower in the corner to watch them train. I looked at the future knights before me and suddenly I saw a familiar face among the 58 men. Then I saw 2 more familiar faces. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was Durin, Wyrda, and Revan. I still recognized them. I recognized Durin's short curly black hair and his brown eyes. Wyrda's short brown straight hair and his hazel eyes. And Revan's long white hair that went to the middle of his back with his gray silverish eyes. I knew it was them. "I would like to see how you do in melee combat," said Lord Ace. "Choose your weapons from the back of the field, first come first serve. We're going to do 1v1s." Lord Ace started pairing up the future knights to determine who fights who. "You are only aloud to attack who I assigned you with, fall back when it's necessary. When you fall back you must go to the resting benches on the right, if you have won go to the benches on the left. Is that clear?" "Yes Lord Ace," the knights said. "Alright let's begin."

Wyrda and Revan were assigned to fight against each other and Durin was assigned with a man named Floyd. The fights have begun. Durin and Floyd fought a long hard battle but Durin had to fall back because Floyd had attacked Durin's feet to make him trip. Durin wasn't really the best at this, I could tell he was struggling and I guess Floyd went a little easy on him. Wyrda and Revan's went the longest. It was so long that we had to make them stop to make room for the archery training. They both took their seats on the left bench, the winning bench. "Alright, those to the right, you better step up your game, archery is next," said Lord Ace. Everyone grabbed a bow and a few arrows and went to the archery section of the training grounds. "Here we will see how many attempts it takes for you to hit a bullseye, begin." Wyrda and Revan were the first ones to get a bullseye with only 1 attempt. Then Floyd hit it with 1 attempt but took a little longer to make sure it was on target. Durin wasn't the best, but he wasn't the worst. It took him about 4 attempts to get it, but some people took more than 10. After the archery training they did other training as well that took about another hour or so. "May the queen come down and choose 3 knights that seem they are the best?" I followed Ace's wishes and went down from the tower. I went straight to Wyrda and Revan and chose them. They were no doubt the best out of all of them. Then it came down to Durin and Floyd. Floyd was better than Durin, but I knew the knights that I chose were going to be the Holy Knights and have access to magic, and I couldn't reject Durin. "I thought you would've chosen Floyd," whispered Lord Ace. "Though I think Durin showed more effort than Floyd," I whispered back. "Are you sure? I mean-" "Are you questioning your queen?" Ace sighed and whispered, "My apologies you majesty." And so Wyrda, Revan, and Durin were the future Holy Knights and they will soon receive the ability of magic.
