A Song of Ice and Fire

#13 I'm in trial

             

"Lavendar is waiting for you outside, on the grounds. She'll straighten things out for you."

That's all the explanation I got. Great!

I walked out of the office and somehow found a way to the grounds. This place was like a maze. Outside, I found Lavendar waving at me from the middle of cluster of students.

There were at least forty people down there. The first thing Lavendar did after I came to her was hug me. Real tight.

"How was it?" She sounded like an excited poodle.

I just shrugged. How was it ? Oh I don't know, you tell me.

She made a face at me and opened her mouth to say something when a low whistle ripped through the air. The crowd silenced.

At the front, knight clad in silver armor stood still. The knight had removed her helmet to reveal a long stream of straight grey hair. Even though she had a helmet on, it was very clear what her gender was.

She was the one I saw early. Hacking at the wooden pillars.

She lifted her head and looked at us with a gaze of steel. Her eyes were slits. And I could see silver scales creep up her jaws.

She scanned the crowd, one hand placed steadily on her berserker blade.

She stopped.

 Her eyes narrowed on me. "You there, at the back. Step forward and prove you worth."

Huh? prove my worth? to who?

Everyone around me stepped back. In a blink of an eye, she flung something at me. It was a spear I think, but mid air it transformed. The silver turning ink-black and the tip bending to the side.

I caught the scythe as it hit the ground.

It was the most beautiful (And the first of its kind) weapon that I had ever seen. It stood seven- foot high. The curved blade towering over my head gleamed black. Around the tip was a cluster of blood red crystal roses. Their vines curling the around the long shaft.

The crowd gave out a collective gasp.

"Impressive." The knight commented. " Now, who is will to put her to trial."

Put me to trial? I hadn't even done anything yet.

Berserker sword is a really thick bladed sword.
