chapter 14 - Delivery Problems.

I woke up, it was a 5 week break before starting my second year of training. Kaida was already up and go e. She had Ben getting up early for the last week. I sighed, I looked at a list I had made last night on things I need to do. First find a book on my bloodline. All records of our family was destroyed after the GUI,d was destroyed. I got and changed, before going downstairs to get some breakfast.

I was soon looking on the many bookshelves in the library. I found several on the Archon, but not one with a family tree.

"Hawk?" The guild master called

"Yes?" I peeked out from a hole from where I had removed a book. He chuckled shaking his head.

"I have a letter from Maze, but he is non Blackholm. I was wondering if I could get you to reliever it." The guild master said

"Sure." I nodded, I returned the book and joined the guild master. He gave me a sealed letter, I went to the main map. I found Blackholm, I pictured my albion on the map. Black hole was based between Mill fields and Silverpines. I would have to check it out once I get home. I set off waving to several people as I went.

I went the woods that would become pines. Even now, the stench of Balverines was unmaskable. I drew the Dachi, slowly going deeper into the woods. I heard screams and yells of terror. I rushed forward, Balverines were attacking a small village. Maze was in the most of people. This was Blackholm! I rushed forward, and slashed the closest Balverine in half. the others turned , there was about 20 to 35 others, drooling at the mouth. I readied my blade in my right hand, with my left I held a inferno ball.

"Come and get me!" I smiled. They rushed at me. I released my will and slashed and stabbed at every Balverine that got close. I heard arrows wizzing through the air and howls as they hit their targets. Zoo, I stood alone in the centre of a Balverine graveyard. The villagers cheered, I smiled. I mad my way through the bodies. The blackholm mayor came over to free me.

"Thank you hero." He smiled "You are a rare talent indeed. We don't get many strength and will users."

"I have all 3." I told him.

"Is that so?" A voice asked, it was chilling! I felt my bones turn to ice. I turned and saw the villain of this age.

"Jack of blades." I said

"Good, you've heard of me. Who may you be?" The monster from the void asked

"Hawk, defender of light." I said, using one of my other titles.

"Defender of light? Interesting. I would love to discuss your abilities more." Jack told me "Are you of the ancient Archon bloodline?"

"Yes, but I have to go. Maze, this is from the guild master." I gave the will user the letter. Suddenly a little girl hugged my leg.

"Please stay a little longer!" She begged

"Er...well..."I began

"Yes, please, Hero of Blackholm." The mayor said

"Very well." I sighed

The major insisted having a pointing made of me. Jack and Maze were forced into it too. I was not happy, I stood between the two historic people - that I deeply despised. It took about 5 hours, the painting showed my displeasure of being near the men. After all that, I said I had to return to the guild. Only for Jack to accompany me on the way back.

"Now, we can talk." He said

"I don't want to talk to you." I growled

"Why not?" He asked

"Kidnapping Scarlet Robe for a stupid sword the archon took from you." I looked at him.

"How do..." Jack began

"I know a lot of things others don't...Void dweller." I glared "I have no reason too continue talking." I walked off ahead. I looked back, when I could no longer see him, I ran.

I reached the guild and sighed. I leaned against the wall, trying to catch my breath.

"Hawk, the guild master wants to talk to you and Kaida. He is waiting in your room." A trainee said

"Okay, thanks." I smiled, and headed to my room.

"SURPRISE!" Everyone cheered, Chase, Whisper, Kaida and the guild master.

"What?"I gasped

"It's your birthday silly!" Kaida smiled "Or did you forget."

"I forgot." I laughed, running a hand through my hair.

"Well, you made me a surprise party, so we planned this one for the last week." Kaida smiled

"That's why you got up so early." I finally understood. They nodded.

The party go underway. Chase got me a diary too, Whisper got me a necklace and Kaida had made me a blade. It was silver, at the centre of the blade was a ruby that reached from top to bottom. Even the halt of the blade had a large central ruby.

"Try using inferno." Kaida suggested. I did, the large ruby glowed. the blade ruby swirled as if fire was locked inside. Suddenly, the blade was a light.

"Cool! Thanks Kaida!" I smiled.

Once the party was over, and Kaida was asleep. I stood at the window, crying.

"Night Reaver, Rosa Vincent...Darrian and Logan." I wiped my eyes, and headed to bed.

Future Albion

Vincent looked out the window. Reaver was cuddling Rosa.

"Mom says night." Vincent said

"Uh?" Rosa looked at him. "How do you know?"

"I could hear her...she sounded sad." Vincent looked at his father and sister

"She misses us as much as we miss her." Reaver smiled. "We can only hope her quest ends soon." Rosa and Vincent nodded in agreement.

"Night mom." Vincent whispered.
