Flashback part 3:

Gabriel's POV

"Landor, the one who killed a Victorian is now a Protector of Skandorian. He killed the Victorian, because Slik the Victorian was stealing and he refused to pay. I will have to teach to be less lethal though. So just don't commit a crime in a couple months."

Loretta shut the door and smirked at Landor, "Sit down, my Student."

Landor said sadly, "You would take the fun out of it."

Loretta replied innocently, "I thought training with you would be fun."

Landor just shook his head.

Loretta said with anger, "This isn't a question of choice, it is a command of must!"

Landor laughed, "If we are arguing for this, I can picture training being fun." Then he changed to a serious tone, "Fine, I'll train with you, if only I get to train with a group."

Loretta sighed and said, "Fine."

"And I get to choose the members.?"

Loretta growled and Landor knew he was pushing it so he quickly said, "Fine, one person!"

Loretta asked curious, "Who?"

In my suprisement he pointed to me. Loretta laughed, "A peasant?!?!?"

Landor argued, "He can shoot a bow!"

"A bow is a peasant's weapon."

"Well maybe that explains why you need to train him." The he grinned, because he knew she was stuck training me too.

Landor then said, "Well as much as I love beating you in arguments, I am leaving."

Loretta ignoring the insult and shouted while Landor was walking away, "You better be at the training grounds at 6:00 AM."

Landor turned, "I need my beauty sleep, you obviously wouldn't know because you have no beauty, so 8:00 AM."

Loretta said, "I'll knock all the beauty out of you if you show up at 8:00 AM."

Landor smirked and yelled, "You'll be up all night tomorrow if you try that." Then he shut the door.

Loretta turned to me and demanded, "6:00 AM, unless you'll like to join Landor."

I shook my head and left.

The next morning, I got up at 5:30 AM and went to the training grounds. When I got there it was 5:55 AM. Loretta looked at the main clock of the town when she saw me and said, "Good, now we are waiting for one more person... Can you guess?"

I said trying to keep her in a good mood, "He'll be here."

Then I looked around there were two more people with me one woman and one man. The woman had black hair, slick body and brown eyes. The man was very burly, but he was very nice, a gentle giant. He was bald and let's.... just leave it at strong. At 6:04 AM, Loretta was tapping her foot with her arms crossed impatiently, she kept glancing at the clock.

Then Landor strolled in with some bread and said, "Sorry I'm late, I just had to beat up some Victorians."

We chuckled, well when I mean we I mean the students. Loretta glanced at the clock and said "6:05AM... Five minutes late... Looks like we will all be running five miles today."

Everyone groaned- yes again only the students- and I went up to Landor and punched him in the shoulder and I laughed, "So which Victorian was this one."

He snickered, "One was called Milk and the other is called Bread, defeating Bread though."

I said smiling , "Maybe you should tell Loretta that she might bring it down to three miles."

Landor sneered, "Yeah, she'll understand."

Then Loretta barked orders to line up. I went to the back of the line and Landor went to the front. Loretta snickered and dragged Landor to the back of the line, "You are in front of me, just in case you try to sneak off." Then she ordered us to run.

We kept a steady pace and ran around the town, waiting for Loretta commands to go left or right.

Finally we got back to the training grounds, and were lead into a room.

Loretta gave a speech on how this training will be for a year and it will change us to do greatness.

Then a voice interrupted the story, "WAIT, LANDOR TOOK LORETTA'S RADICAL TRAINING CAMP AND THAT WAS THE SPEECH OF CHANGE?!?!?"

///Out of Flashback/// Aela's POV

Gandrial said, "Yes, it was that."

Al Dadorian Von Pers still shocked said, "I know that, why didn't you tell me Landor was in the training session."

Gandrial seemed a bit worried, "You would have killed Landor."

Then I interrupted and asked, "What is so bad about her training session?"

Al turned to me and took a deep breath, "There were four people in this session, everyone became radical besides two, Landor is one of the two. Now that I know," He glared at Gandrial, "Landor is the one. Landor is the prophet and the key of evil. He will be the reason why our gods will let go of the door of evil and allow it to come. Landor will be our protector or killer now, we must see what he chooses."

I said, "Why don't we just kill him, the gods will keep the door closed then?"

Gandrial said angered about the thought of killing his friend, "If we kill evil now, there will be none in this world. We can wait and get attacked with no prophet or we can fight with a prophet."

Clorida groaned, "I wanted to here the rest of the story."

Gandrial said in a nicer tone, "You can come sometime, and I'll tell the rest."

Al then said getting back to the topic-surprised it wasn't Arivian, "Fortunately, Gandrial is a bookworm radical. He helps with the Library."

Arivian then asked, "What happened to the other two?"

Al replied, "One died sadly, the man, and one had ran away to the north...." Then he slouched his head.

Al finished with great sorrow in his tone, "To wait for evil to come."

Arivian said- once again ending the fun, "Thank you, we shall be going now."

We all went back to our towns and thought of what to do. How would we convince Landor to do good?
