Hey it might be a little short. Sorry about that, but here is the third part!
------------------------------------------------------
Ader's Pov
The doors flew open and my daughter comes stalking in, followed by a boy who's looking around in awe. I'm not sure what's happened, but I require a good explanation about him. As Celeste approached my throne, I stood and gave her a hug. When I released I asked, "Are you alright? You smell like burnt flesh, and who is this boy?!" Celeste looked me in the eyes and said, "Father, it's alright, he was about to die so I changed him! Haha we had to run across sunlight to get to safety. And I'm perfectly fine father, like always." She said this all with a cheery attitude. "You did good with your first change, but let me have a look at him." I said, "boy come here." The boy looked up and nods his head as he walks up closer to me. He joins me and Celeste. I look him up and down then ask him, "What's your name boy?" He looks up at me and says, "My name is Garret sir." I smile, and then I ask garret, "What did you do for work garret?" Garret's response was, "I was a weapon smith and a weapons master." "Good skills, are you actually any good?" I asked. "I can prove them sir." Garret replied. I smile at this and say, "Well our smith will decide on that, and if you beat our second strongest person, I will assign you to be Celeste's personal guard. If you fail, both of you have to leave and never come back, or face death." Celeste went to say something. I stopped her with a stern stare, then asked "Celeste will you take him to a room where he can stay?" She looked at me pleadingly, then a look of defeat appears in her eyes. She then nods, yes, and grabs Garret's arm as she passes him.
Garret's Pov
Lots of stress was all I felt, walking with Celeste to my room. I get one day before I start my first challenge. Celeste was ahead of me guiding me to my room. Looking at her more closely, she was thin but muscular, short but stands tall, she has almost the perfect form of balance, and a striking body. Her hair is a dark brown color and she wore darker clothes. Her mask, which was made of some type of hardwood, was painted with a demonic face on it. It probably would have scared most people, but I've seen a lot before my changing. I don't like thinking of that. I need to get my mind off of it. "So what should I be expecting for the fight?" I asked. She looked at me and her eyes brightened. You could tell she was grinning. She just shook her head and said, "I can't really tell you much, sorry." "It's fine, just tell me what you can." I replied. "Just be careful" she said. Then she walks off after pointing to a door. I just stand there watching her walk away. Then I went inside and looked around. To the left it had big heavy looking curtains. To the right it had a bed and a cabinet. Straight ahead was a table with chairs, and what looks like a drink. I turned to my right and slid into bed. I fell asleep fast. I woke up with a start and moved across the room to the curtain. I opened it enough to see if the sun was sleeping. When I noticed it was night, I opened the curtains and looked out across the valley that was now dark. Then there was a heavy knock on the door. I hurried and threw on a pair of pants, then went to the door and opened it.
