My name is Rune am only 16 years old and this book is something I dislike. I am mainly a technician, but I am also trying to be a swordsmen... wait I meant a swordswomen. This is something my brother makes me write, and my brother is a mage knight from Etruria. We are traveling together to meet one of his friends Lucius from Calien I believe. Well it is nightfall and we are right now camping. I dislike some things about this trip, because the only person who knows how to fight here is my older brother, and not to mention I'd only get in the way. My older brother's name is Edward. I'm afraid that if he doesn't get rid of the bandits fast enough then he'd have to do a close-range attack with his anime magic and end up getting caught in the blast. It would be horrible and not to mention he is the only one who knows how to use a staff completely. The only way for me to help someone is giving them a vulnerably or a elixir! I shall stop for tonight for I need to do my training... if I could ever get the hang of using the sword.

Rune

Rune let out a sigh as she closed the brown leather book. It was the first page of the diary. The main reason she was writing it was because of her brother, but then it would hold information about her adventures, so then she would be able to look back at it if they make it back to Etruria safetly. If there is an adventure. She went out of the tent to see her brother pouring the soup into a bowl. He looked up at her and smiled.

"Rune you are just in time. Tell me what were you doing in there?" Edward asked. Rune gave out a little sigh as she took the bowl from her brother.

"I was writing in the book like you wanted me to," Rune said. Edward nodded his head in agreement.

"I'd be expecting that book to be finished by the time we are back home," Edward rolled my eyes.

"If we could get home in time and make it there before getting slaughtered," Rune said. Edward let out a loud sighed.

"Rune my dear little sister. You think we will never get back home from this little trip," Edward said as he started to drink his soup. Rune gave her brother a hurtful look. Her brother had dirty blond hair with his crystal emerald eyes. His staff andfire, thunder, and elfiretomb was only placed right next to him.

"That hurts my feelings my dear older brother. Besides I have a feeling that something will delay us..."Rune said. Edward gave her a puzzled stood up as she brushed her sky blue hair that was only pasther shoulders. Closing her crystal blue eyes before walking off.

"Well off to training," Rune said as she walked off before Edward could ask her anything. Edward putted down his empty bowl of soup as he stared at the dark sky.

"Hmm I wonder if Rune has the same powers as you do mother," Edward said as a smiled started to appear on his face. Rune was outside swinging her iron sword around in the air.

Who am I suppose to be? Rune then stopped swing her sword at nothing and looked at the horse Edward uses. Elina was what Edward called the horse, but then to Rune the reason why he did was different.

Flashback 1 year ago

"Hi Rune! Did you see Edward anywhere?" asked a red orange hair girl with pale rose eyes. Behind her was a horse she was holding.

"Oh he should be somewhere around the pond," Rune said then looked at the horse, "You know that it isn't his birthday yet?"

"Yes I do, but this is a gift he will need if he wants to become a mage knight. My mother told me," said the girl.

"Yeah right Elinsa... you just fancy him don't you? Well good luck with that I'm off practicing," I said before Elinsa could say anything else.

End of Flashback

"Hmm?" Rune said looking at the bushes. She looked to see something appearing and someone walking towards her wearing a black cape with the hood on. Rune gasp a bit as she took a step backward as the man took one forward every time. Then she stops having to see how much blood was spilling every step he took.

"Are you alright?" Rune asked with her eyes widen in fear. After taking another step the guy ended up falling, but then Rune finally was able to move forward to catch him. As he fell his black hood came off revealing a boy at the age of 16 as well. His dark forest green hair was shown as Rune looked at his deep green eyes.

"Could you walk?" Rune asked snapping herself out of her trance. The boy nodded and they started to walk at where Edward was last seen. Rune was supporting the boy as much as she could while she tried to put pressure on his opened stomach wound. The boy's right arm was over Rune's shoulder as Rune's left hand was on the boy's waist as her right hand was pressing down on the wound.

"Edward!" Rune yelled and her brother poked his head out of his tent.

"Rune what is the matter?" Edward asked.

"Quick bring your staff! There's a boy with an open wound on his stomach!" Rune yelled as she started to feel uneasy. Edward didn't say anything else, but then went back in his tent and out at lighting speed holding his staff in his right hand.

"Where is he?" Edward asked then looked at the boy Rune was supporting, "Lay him down and I'll take care of the rest." Rune nodded her head as she slowly place the boy down and moved out of the way. Her right hand was covered in blood trying to put pressure on the boy's stomach, but then now the wound was completely gone. Edward let out a sigh as he stood up.

"Where did you find him at?" Edward asked.

"East side of the camp near the forest," Rune said, "Close to my tent." Edward nodded.

"I want you to go and sleep in my tent tonight, and the boy will be in it as well," Edward said. Rune was about to protest when Edward put his hand up.

"You do not know how to wield a sword correctly yet for battle with a bandit. If anything happens to you I will never forgive myself. You know that very well," Edward said then Rune stepped back.

"Yes brother," Rune said. She knows her brother was right about what he said, because then she was his only family left.

"But I get to take the first night shift," Rune said instantly. Edward let out a sigh.

"Fine, but if anyone comes out of the forest or anywhere scream. You only get 2 hours then we switch," Edward said. Knowing Rune she would keep on persisting that she stays up with her sword in hand. Rune bit her lip, but then agreed. So then Rune and Edward got the boy in Edward's tent as Edward went to bed. Rune left the tent holding her iron sword in hand looking around the horizon.

Who is he? Is he with anyone? Mom... why did you have to go? Rune let out a sigh as she closed her eyes and bit her tongue to get her eyes opened. When she did she saw the dark forest green hair boy sitting in front of her. She jumped pretty high, but then was able to calm down rather quickly.

"Shouldn't you be asleep?" Rune asked. The boy looked at Rune for a minute before sending her a little glare.

"Who are you?" The boy asked.

"Ummm I'm the girl that you met on the outskirts of the forest," Rune said gripping on to her iron sword tighter.

"Oh my apologies. I am Roland," the boy said.

"I see my name is Rune. The boy in the tent with you is Edward," Rune said with a smile, "You may go and get some more rest I'll be doing the look-out." Roland shook his head.

"Do you know how to wield that sword correctly?" Roland asked taking a look at Rune's sword that was in her hand.

"Nay," Rune said giving out a sigh as she grip the sword tighter. Roland gave her a puzzled look.

"Then why do you take the look-out shift if you cannot wield a sword correctly? If you were to face a bandit you will most likely lose," Roland said. An anime vein appeared on Rune's head.

"I'm mainly a technician!" Rune said standing up instantly. Her black cape was now moving back and forth a bit from Rune's sudden movement.

"I see… here let's spar and see how well you really are," Roland said as he grab his sword.

"Wouldn't you prefer to use practicing swords than real swords for sparing?" Rune asked as she got into her battle stance.

"If you have any," Roland chuckled. Rune let out a sigh. She would always practice on her own without anyone to spar with so she didn't even bother carrying around any wooden swords. Rune made a swing to hit Roland on the side, but then he blocked it. He then quickly moved to get a chance to hit Rune on the back, but then she blocked it diagonally on her back. Roland started to press down harder on Rune so then Rune did the only thing that came to mind. She slid out of it and turned around to face Roland. Roland made an attack for her head, but then she blocked it once again. He made continuous attacks at Rune, but then she either dodge them all or blocked them. Roland then made another attack at Rune, but with a lot of force making her sword fly out of her hand. Rune tried to sprint over to her sword, but then Roland pointed the tip of his sword at Rune's neck before she could even reach it.

"Check," Roland said with a little hard breathing then put his sword back in its sheath.

"You are pretty good with your sword. You just need to grip it correctly," Roland commented. Rune nodded as she picked up her sword from the ground.

"So who taught you to use a sword like that?" Roland asked. Rune blinked at Roland for a couple of times.

"Roland are you aware that Etruria is mostly filled with only mages?" Rune asked. Roland nodded.

"Yes I am fully aware of that, but you haven't told me where you are from," Roland said. Rune slapped her forehead.

"My apologies! I am from Etruria and so is my older brother! He is the one who knows how to use staves and anime magic," Rune said.

"Ah, but then why aren't you using magic as well?" Roland asked. Rune let out another sigh for about the 300th time already!

"It's because even though I have the intelligence to do so, I just can't even make a fire ball! So then I decided to work on using swords. Anime magic is a long-distance attack so if a bandit where to be close to my older brother then he may get caught in the blast. If I know how to use a sword then I maybe able to rid us of the bandits close-by and he could rid us of the ones far away," Rune said as she started to twirl her sword around like it was a stick. Roland backed away from Rune a bit.

"How long are you able to keep yourself from letting your sword fly out of your hand?" Roland asked. Rune looked at him and blinked for a minute before throwing her sword in the air. As the sword started to fly straight down at Rune she grabbed her sheath and got the sword to land in it.

"Was there something wrong with me doing that?" Rune asked.

"Yes you could have hurt yourself," Roland growled. Rune gave out a little nervous laugh.

"Eh heheh I guess you are right, but I've been doing that for a while already," Rune said. Roland let out a sigh. This girl he just met says she isn't good with a sword though from what she was able to do it seems she's been using a sword for a year already, but then he could change it to 4 years within only 1-2 weeks.

"Come," Roland said. Rune gave him a puzzled look.

"Why?" Rune asked.

"I have been doing swordplay more than 5 years already. If you want to improve I'll help you with it," Roland said. Rune then smiled as she ran over to where Roland was. As the time passed Roland taught Rune how to use the sword better and how she could go and dodge her opponent if she needs to.

"Rune go to sleep it's my…" Edward stopped as he looked at Roland.

"And you maybe…" Edward let his sentence trailed off.

"Hello brother. This is Roland. Roland this is my brother Edward," Rune said.

"Hello. I'm Roland from Calien," Roland said as he bowed to Edward.

"Hello. I'm Edward from Etruria," Edward said now bowing to Edward.

"Yes, Rune here was nice enough to give me that information already," Roland said.

"I see. Since you two have been up go to sleep. I'll take watch for 2 hours then we may switch," Edward said. The two nodded as they went into Edward's tent and fell asleep. Edward let out a sigh as he looked at the forest and did a fire magic at a nearby tree.

"Come out. There's no point of hiding," Edward said narrowing his eyes at the tree he set if magic fire on.

"How did you knew we were there?" a bandit yelled as he appeared from the shadows followed by 30 more bandits.

"There's no point in telling someone who is going to die," Edward said as he pulled out his thunder tomb and attacked the bandit.

"You asked for it! Go kill the mage and swordsmen! Bring the girl to me!" the lead bandit yelled. 15 bandits charged at Edward while the other half went to the tent. Edward stayed silent as he started to make symbols with his right hand while now holding an Elfire tomb. The attacked managed to burn the first three closing in on him, but then there was still more. Edward looked at the bandits trying to calculate how many there was, but then stopped when he saw more coming.

"RUNE! ROLAND WAKE UP!" Edward yelled as he used his Elfire magic once again. Just then there was a scream heard from the tent then metal cutting into human skin.

"RUNE!" Edward yelled pulling his attention over to the tent. A lifeless hand was seen at the entrance of the tent, otherwise he couldn't see anything else. A bandit snuck up behind him and manage to have cut his left arm badly. Edward let out a scream as Rune and Roland came running out of the tent with their now blood stained swords.

"Edward!" Rune yelled as she ran over to the mage knight. Roland was busy taking care of three other bandits from behind while Rune was taking care of the two in front, but then she received a slash on her leg since she wasn't quick enough to dodge the attack with the extra weight on her back.

This isn't good Rune thought as she started to see everything turn blurry. Edward if you die then I'll die and kill you again in the afterlife! Rune turned to see Roland's black cape flutter in the wind as he turned around to see Rune. Roland's black armor seemed to have been an advantage for the boy saving him from a critical blow from the back. Roland quickly spin around and stab the bandit in the heart then ran over to Rune.

"Rune! Rune get up!" Roland yelled. Rune could then see another blur behind Roland with an ax as it registered in her brain what would happen if she didn't do something. Rune instantly pushed herself off the ground and used her sword to defend Roland from getting a killing blow from a Killer Axe. Rune felt the weight pressing down hard on her making her leg bleed more from the cut the bandit gave her. Roland turned around and made a clean swipe at the lead bandit's neck making the head fly off. Rune fell back to her knees panting while holding onto Edward. Roland turned to see only about 40 bandits left to kill. It would be too much for him alone to take out, and then he noticed something coming. He saw shamans coming from the distance. Roland instantly grabbed Rune and Edward and ran over to where Elina the horse was. Roland tossed Edward on the horse as he forced Rune on the horse as well.

"Run to Calien! It's not to far from here just go straight north. If you see any bandits try to avoid them! If you see shamans avoid them completely! I'll hold on until you come back with back-up," Roland said then he hit the horse on the rear end with the flat side of the sword making Elina run. Rune tried to turn Elina around, but then the horse ignored her and kept running north. Rune turned her head to see Roland giving her one last wave before turning around to fight the other bandits.

"Roland you better be living by the time I come back!" Rune yelled as tears started to well up in her eyes. Roland turned around right after he stabbed a bandit in the heart and yelled, "I promise!" Rune nodded as she turned away from the battle scene and headed towards Calien. Roland you promise... I'll make sure you keep it. After what seemed like endless years of riding Elina Calien came into view and Rune's face lit up.
