After a few months, the Ionian warriors called all citizens who were able to fight with arrow or sword to participate in a test which decided if they could fight with the army or not.

Of course I wanted to participate in that test, and Lulu cheered for me to never give up, because if I wasn't good I would have shot her on the first day we've met. But the arrow hit her slightly above her head, and since that she believed that I am the chosen warrior, who could be one of or the strongest warrior in our country. I was really grateful that she always made me happy and enthusiastic.

Then, after a short while, the final day came. My arrows on my back, bow in my hand, I walked forward towards the huge castle where the test would take place. Lulu was not by my side, which kind of made me feel lonely. But I'd have to believe that she thought of me. Thinking of her made me feel fullfilled. Was that true friendship? I don't know since I never had real friends. All young people my age went into war or were killed when they were kids. The past of our country is not as rosy as you may think. My parents protected me back then, and that may be the reason why they don't want me to go to the army. But it had always been my wish to protect the country and people I love, even if it meant to disappoint my parents. But I would not let them suffer from war anymore. Never.

The test contained shooting with arrows, fighting with sword and other crafting things you may need in fights such as making fire with wood. One of the operators watched us carefully as one after the other stepped forward and showed their talents. As it was my turn, I did my best and even hit the red circle. It was a success for myself, and the operator patted my back.

"You seem to have a talent with the bow, how did you learn that?", he asked while I took out a new arrow. I blushed in embarassment and answered. "I trained by myself for years, I've always wished to be a warrior." The operator nodded and murmured something to another one. Later on they called me to them and gave me the confirmation that I would now officially be a part of the army. Now I'd have to participate in weekly practise sessions in case of an upcoming war. They've often praised my skills, calling me a naturally talented warrior and fighter. It felt as if my dream came true.

"Mother, Father! They accepted me! I now am a warrior for Ionia!!!" I shouted once I've reached home. Lulu opened the door, a wide smile along her face. "I'm so happy for you, Varus!" She pulled me into her small arms and pressed her body against mine. "That's only thanks to your motivation, Lulu", I whispered on her shoulder. Her sweet giggling and my raising heartbeat were the only sounds between us, until she slowly pulled back and held my face in her small hands. "Congratulations", she breathed and lightly layed her lips on mine. This moment was the most beautiful moment I've ever lived through.

It felt like heaven. Three times a week I had the training, the rest of the week I practised and spent time with my family and Lulu. It seemed as if nothing could ever destroy our peaceful world. But of course it could, and I soon would find out what it would be.
