The Arcadia Chronicles II: Night Of The Hunter's Moon

Dire Experience

Janus' POV

All right, Sir Stein! Let's practice for the competition! I said to him as he stepped out of his room, yawning. He replied sleepily What? It's still early Janus, plus we can't practice with...

My stomach suddenly growled, I pursed my lips in embarrassment, he ended the sentence with a sleepy grin ...an empty stomach.

I saw Miss Liliana's head pop from the kitchen door So you two are joining the Arena of Valor?

We sure are, did you and Sir Alexander join the contest?

She replied from the kitchen No, we aren't, we would love to but Chief requested us to be the judges of the match.

After a few moments, Miss Liliana is putting a piping-hot, mouth-watering food. While we're still eating, Wilhelmina and Anastasia went out of their rooms, their hair are all frizzy because of their bed head.

Better join us Wil', Ana', or there will be nothing left for you two to eat.

When we're done eating, Sir Stein and I went to a clearing outside the Clan.

Third person's POV

The two faced each other silently, a breeze of wind passed them and rustled the leaves of the trees. Janus held in his hands two wooden swords and Stein carved a shape-like wooden scythe This may be a practice, Janus, but I won't hold back.

Janus replied in surprise Seriously, Sir?! You might kill me if that's the case!

No, I won't kill you, for goodness sake! He laughed then added What I mean is that I won't hold back in order for us to improve our skills.

Janus grinned then brandished his swords, Stein spun his scythe around and put it on his shoulder.

Dianne's POV

I went to the pharmacy to see Anastasia for I want her to become my partner in the Valor. Sir Damon is there and asked him where Anastasia is, he answered She didn't come today, she said that she's training with Liliana to master her swordsmanship on her rapier.
