CH. 7 Trials
"This smell… it can't be…" Dorochet said and looked at the man that entered.
He was small, bald, and had a tail. As the other two looked at him, all four eyes opened in surprise.
"I don't believe it… It's really you!" the dog chimera said and jumped from his seat.
"I thought you were in Amestris. How come you're here?" Martel said and hugged the small man.
"And why didn't Ling tell us you're here"? Roa added and put a hand on his small shoulder.
"He just told me you guys got here and sent me here. I thought you guys were dead," he said as tears started poring down his cheeks.
"Don't worry Bido, we're all alive and well…Well the three of us are…" Dorochet said and looked at the ground.
"Yeah, mister Ling told me about what happened…"
There was a minute of silence, but was broken by Roa.
"Well no point in beating ourselves around for something we can't change. That's why we need to get stronger. To be able, to defend Ling."
The mood suddenly turned up as the chimeras smiled.
Then there was a knock on the door.
"Are you the new bodyguards master Ling has brought?" asked a man as he entered the room.
"Yeah that's us," Dorochet said and looked at him, as did Martel and Roa.
"Then come with me. Your trial shall commence now," he said and motioned them to follow.
"What trial?" the snake chimera asked as they followed the man.
"Too see if you are fit to protect the master," he explained.
"Oh, so what'll it be like?" the ox one asked.
"You shall see," he said and stopped in front of a large door.
"This is the arena. Prove your selves worthy, and you may stay as master Ling's guards. Should you fail, our Emperor shall find a fitting punishment," he added as the large double door opened and revealed a Coliseum.
"Bido, go to Ling. You can't fight here," Martel said and smiled.
"But… Ok… I guess you're right…" he said and looked at them.
"But you better not DIE," he said, no begged, for he didn't want to lose his friends again.
"Don't worry. We'll come back," Roa assured and smiled.
"Yeah, we didn't survive lab 5 and the attack of Bradley just to die here," Dorochet added.
"Wow," all three said under their breaths and walked into the center. As soon as they entered, the crowed stood up and started clapping.
As they looked around, they saw that most of the citizens were gathered here. And in front of them was the Emperor, Ling, May and Lee.
A few moments later, Uncle Lee stood up and the clapping died down. He cleared his throat and said: "My fellow Xings. We are here today, too see if these Amestriens, have what it takes to defend your future Emperor. But first they must be given weapons."
At that, a few of the warriors entered with a chart full of weapons.
"You may choose any you feel good with."
Dorochet immediately grabbed the katana and did a few swings too get the feeling.
"Yeah, this'll do."
Martel saw a pair of daggers and took them. She put one on her collarbone, one on her thigh and another at her ankle.
"Fits like a glove."
Roa looked for a sledgehammer but didn't find it. He did notice a large warrior sword. He grabbed it with both hands and swung it.
"Just like my hammer."
"Are you prepared?" Lee asked and looked at them.
As soon as he saw the weapons they took, he froze.
"It's like… Theses weapons were made for them," he said to himself.
Usually people go for the guns, bows twin swords or axes. But they were different.
"Yes we are," all three said and snapped the emperors brother back to reality.
"Then let the trails begin," he said and a gate opened.
"Get ready guys, for anything," Ling whispered and looked at the gates that opened fully.
