Fate: Trial Of The Past

A New Word

"Sorry, I didn't take that into account." I looked at her, she then smiled at me, "It's fine, next time if you're not sure, don't risk it." She then hugged me, "At least it worked." Of course it did, I mastered that spell. Oh wait she's hugging me? I'm moving up in the world. I hugged her back. She is beautiful. She immediately realized I was hugging her back and quickly stopped along with pushing me away a little. "Stone, don't get too attached." Yeah, I'm getting attached. I cannot not fight this feeling. "Wait, you called me Stone, why?"

She looked up at me, "Well, it's a sign of respect." Respect huh. Okay I can accept this. The rest of the group made it down, "That was cool!" Hugo said as he raised his hand out as if reaching for something. "High five man!" He exclaimed. I should have caught her! Idiot! "High five?" Also what's a high five? "Oh, sorry, a high five is done like this." He demonstrated a clap, "But with two people." He put his hand up again, and I did what he asked, "A high five?"

He nodded, "Yes." He looked at Kaida and me, "You didn't catch her?" I looked at him and then Kaida, "Ahh, no, I-I didn't uhh..." I looked at Kaida, idiot! "It's fine if he is not at that level yet." Wait what? "Not at that level yet..." I looked at Kaida, "What do you mean by that?" Hugo looked at me, "Even then, catching you would make the situation less of a situation." He looked at me, "It would be cool! And a gentleman thing!"

"Then he'd be a simp." A new voice came up. It was an adult, he was covered and coated in black. "Oh, hey. Hunter you're here." Hugo greated him. "He would know the act of being a simp as the act of being chivalrous." I looked at him, "Being chivalrous isn't all too bad. To a certain extent, however." He chuckled. "Are you chivalrous?" I looked at my friends, "I don't think I am." I choose not to, as kingdoms, like the era of first Stone, can be corrupted. "That's why you didn't catch the girl."

I looked at Kaida, "She is a strong independent, and doesn't need a male to save her all the time." She smiled, "Thanks." The guy put his palm on his face, "He's a simp." Hugo then looked at me, "Oh well, he might grow out of it." Kaida poked me, "They are talking about you as though they were your parents." Why is she not wrong!? I picked up a pebble and threw it to Hugo, "Who is he, and where are we going again?"

"Oh right! This is Hunter." Hunter. "He is all black because he blends into darkness better that way. He is a Shadow wolf." A shadow wolf. No way, I thought they were myths. "A shadow wolf you say." Wait, I'm an idiot, that's why I know the term shadow wolf. My sword! I took out my sword, "Hunter meet, Shadow Sword." He looked at me, eyebrow raised, "It contains the soul of a shadow wolf." I looked at him.
