I woke up the next day really early. The sun haded even risen yet. I decided to get up and watch the sun set on the roof. That means I have to climb up onto the roof. I went outside and started climbing, that's when I felt eyes watching me. I hurried and climbed the rest of the way and looked around. That's when I saw him. Well I actually only saw his eyes, but I know those eyes they were. I had looked at them many times while I was spying on the ranger's. He was the legend Ranger Will. He was watching me. Why would he be watching ME? Could he really be thinking of taking me on as an apprentice? I crawl slowly over to the part of the roof where I can watch him but he can't see me.
He stays about an hour, till the sun is just coming up. Maya and Holly are looking for me with the boys. All of us have to be ready by nine and it is about eight right now. I climb down and go into my room and get ready.
There are only four of us this year. We all line up from oldest to youngest. Which means it goes Kyle, Holly, Maya, Nick, and then me. I'm the youngest and smallest. The teachers also line up. Will is not among them. I am scared now that I won't be chosen. One at a time they chose. The Knight master chooses first Kyle and Nick, Holly is chosen by the cooks, and Maya by the scribe. That left me. No one stepped forward to choose me. The Baron ended the ceremony and told everyone they could leave.
Just as I was about to leave the Baron called me over.
"Sam?"
"Yes, sir"
"Your master will pick you up tomorrow at sunrise."
"Yes, sir"
"He said to meet him same place as this morning… whatever that means"
"Yes, sir. Thank you sir."
"Good day."
I walk back to where us orphans stay thinking. Who will my master be? And what did he mean "same place?"
