Me: back! and this time I have an intention to do povs for the first time ever in this chapter.

Lyria: *tilts head* why, this chapter specifically?

Me: I don't know, I just got the urge that I just couldn't do the third person pov for this chapter XD

Lyara: uh-huh...

Jin: Finally! We get to know what she can do in this chapter!

Lyara: yeah, yeah, calm down, we get it.

Sieghart: where did your enthusiasm disappear to?

Lyara: *punches Sieghart in the stomach* just shut up and continue with the story already! I'm tired of waiting!

Sieghart: *out cold*

Me: yes ma'am! On with the story!


Lyria's POV

I walked into the forest, cautious about my surroundings. I looked around to see if there was any signs of life or monsters anywhere. Weird... I didn't see anything...yet...

I moved forward, lowering my guard a bit, then suddenly, a weird mushroom monster jumps out of the bushes and attacks me! "Eep!" I barely dodged the mushroom thingy's head, as it crashed into the ground instead of slamming into me. "Phew..."

I heard some more rustlings in the bushes and other areas in the forest. Soon, I noticed goblins, slimes, and more of the mushroom monsters. I reached my hand towards a little bag attached to my legs, and quickly grabbed some knives from inside of it, and threw it at the monsters. "Yes! Perfect hit!" I managed to pierce through the heads of the goblins and mushrooms, and since I had no clue where the actual skull of the slimes could be, I just managed to pierce the area between its eyes.

I felt like celebrating but, the test isn't over yet, so I could do that as much as I wanted after this.

A large green thing moved behind the trees. An orc... It was pathetic... And by "it" I meant its stealth... The things idea of stealth was so pathetic, it practically disgraced all the stealthy creatures in this entire universe... I mean, come on people! Even a little two year old harpy, who hasn't learned how to even fly or speak yet, could be more stealthy than this thing!

It was irritating! Time to teach that moronic thing, real stealth. I thought with irritation, then hid in the shadows, quickly jumping from area to area, completely undetected, by the monsters, or any of the Chasers who might be watching me right now. The orc looked around, as if trying to search for something, while attempting to hide behind a freakin tree, for the queen's sake! It didn't even blend with the tree a little bit! One, it was to short to reach the tree leaves, two, its skin color was extremely visible behind the tree, because of the stupid thing's size, and three, its club stook out like a sore thumb...

I tapped its shoulder, with an annoyed expression. The stupid thing looked at me, then instantly got slashed in the throat and stomach.

One of my pet peeves: creatures who pretend to be stealthy and put on a pathetic show at it.

I walked away from the creature and quickly leaped from branch to branch until I reached a portal and jumped into it, revealing the next destination.

No Treant yet. Just the simple monsters, of goblins, slimes, mushrooms, and orcs... Seriously, what do those people think I am? A two year old?

I quickly let the chain, hidden underneath my right sleeve slip out and choke the monsters that had necks to death, and in the end, after the choking, their heads rolled. As for the slimes, well, a bunch of knives in between the two eyeballs worked, like last time.

I continued forward, already bored of this test.

Finally! I saw what appeared to be a giant tree, with a bunch of apples on it, and it seemed to be alive and well. If I recall correctly, they said to defeat the Treant, take one of the apples, and return. Simple enough.

The Treant looked at me. It immediately began to assault me with... apples? Well it wasn't the apples it had, it was the apples on other trees.

Crap...

When I looked beneath me, there was a bunch of apples, scattered everywhere on the floor of the forest. "Dammit... This is gonna be harder than I thought!" I started trying to avoid the apples, on the floor, while trying to make sure that I didn't get hit by any of the apples the Treant was tossing at me.

Step, jump, land, step, jump, land, run, dodge, throw.

The order I had to do things. I had very little time to throw my knives, so I gave up on attempting on that, and drew out a pair of silver daggers. It was starting to get annoying. "Almost...there...!" I jumped up and was this close to getting to one of the apples.

Unfortunately, I was hit on the foot with one of the apples, landed on the ground, and slipped, landing face first, onto the grass... I got up again quickly, ran jumped and tried again. "Come on, please!" I touched the apple and finally, I ripped it off of the stem that connected the apple to the tree. "Yes! Now all that's left is to knock this thing out!" I quickly wrapped my chain around the Treant, with more ease then before, and stabbed a point, that I think was its vital point, and knocked it out!

"Yes! I did it!" I jumped for joy, happy that I managed to take the apple and knock the tree out. Now all that's left is for me to turn back and head back to the entrance.

I started skipping through the forest, back the way I came from, nearly tripping on one of the apples, and exiting the forest.

Meanwhile

Third Person POV

The Chase, Knight Master, and Lyara had seen it all through one of Mari's spells. Blue screens were in front of them, showing them exactly what had happened.

"Wow!" Ryan exclaimed.

"I know right? She-" Jin was cut off by Ryan.

"She has similar moves to Lass!" the orange haired elf said.

Everyone looked at him, with an expression that said, "Are you stupid or something?"

"What about her strength? She defeated those guys with ease, well except for tripping a bunch of times 'cause of the apples all over the forest floor." Sieghart said, giving a joking tone when mentioning the part about Lyria's tripping.

"Oh, yeah, she was awesome!" the druid said.

Lyria, came back, stretching her arms, and skipping towards them with a happy expression on her face. She looked at Knight Master with eyes that spoke, "So, how'd I do, how'd I do?" The Knight Master looked at the girl with a smile, clearly impressed. "Congratulations, you passed the first test. The next will begin tomorrow, be sure to rest up."

"Yes!" the little girl jumped for joy once again, her silvery blue hair moving slightly at the sudden leap into the air.

"Congrats~" Ryan said.

"Yeah! Can't wait to see the next part!" Jin said, clearly excited.

"Congrats to you, and good luck on the next part." Rufus said bluntly, with one of those, rare, smiles on his face. Lass also had a smile on his face too, and he nodded slightly.

Lyria's eyes sparkled happily. She definitely was overjoyed to hear her brothers' praise. "Thank you!" she smiled brightly.

Lyara, her mother, also smiled. "Like the others said, congratulations on the first part, and good luck on the next."

Lyria nodded happily. "How about we get something to eat for now?" Ronan offered. Elesis and Ryan nodded and the rest agreed.

"Lyara's cooking!" all the females in the Chase exclaimed, along with Ryan of course.

"Looks like they all want you to cook, mother~" the three siblings said, smiling at their mother.

Lyara sighed. "Alright, alright, fine. I'm cooking, happy?"

"Yes!" Elesis and Ryan exclaimed happily.

They proceeded to the kitchen, where Lyara cooked, and they had themselves, a large and delicious feast, enjoying the rest of the day, with food, games, and more for the whole day.


Me: That's it! Lyria has officially passed the first challenge!

Lyria: Yay!

Lass: Congrats.

Lyara: Yep. Now, lets get this chapter over with shall we?

Lire: Well at least the story's not over yet, right?

Amy: I guess...
