Hello loyal followers, I LucarioKid am having a good day. I hope you are as well. If you aren't then I will give you a virtual cookie to cheer you up. *Gives virtual cookie* NOW EAT! Erm...please eat it. OrIwillfeastonyoursoul. I didn't say anything. Read, now.
This is a nice piece of land. Lon'qu wasn't joking when he said he had some nice land. It's a couple acres and has a pretty big house. Two stories with five rooms. Small mansion is a better term if you ask me. He even has a butler! I need to be a champion of something.
"Greetings. You must be the Drakaryn and these your companions." I nod, still looking around to try and take everything in.
"I will show you to your rooms." Well, he knows where he's going. I don't.
"What's your name?" He turns around and does a little bow. I take a good look at him. He's older and has white balding hair. He has a black suit and a bow tie.
"I am Alfred." I couldn't help it. That means Lon'qu is Batman. He could pass as Batman. He is a badass. But Batman doesn't kill. Oh, he could be Red Hood. Ya.
"Nice to meet you." I shook his hand after silencing my laughter. He shook it and stared at me and my group.
"I would be pleased to know all of your names." I started to name everyone for him.
"I'm Travis. This is Owain, Kor, Magan, Rose, Riley, Soren, Lozbel, and Emmeryn." Alfred just did a little bow and started to lead us on a tour. The house was even bigger on the inside. Rose leaned over to me and whisperd in my ear.
"Do you think the Batcave is here?" I grinned but turned to her.
"You know about stuff from my world?"
"Ya, you told me and Riley everything. Same with mom." I just crack a grin knowing I would.
"Maybe there is a Batcave here. I wouldn't doubt it. You've seen Lon'qu fight." She nodded and let out a sigh.
"He would be more of a Red Hood." We both nod slowly. We decide to start paying attention to the tour.
"This house is huge." Alfred nods.
"Indeed. And lastly, we have the sparring room." Soren sprinted in, causing Lozbel to giggle. I don't blame him. He had every type of training equipment possible. Then some more. It's a large room with white walls and a wood floor. Training weapons in one corner and real in another. A sparring zone and a spot for dummies. I let out a whistle.
"Yup, he's Batman." Riley heard us and started to laugh with us. Alfred looked at us confused.
"Outrealm thing." He nodded and started chuckling.
"I see. I remember a lot of the Outrealms I have visited." He's been to other worlds?
"What world did you go to?" He answered by making a ball of fire in his hands and shooting it at a dummy. It promptly exploded and I had a general idea.
"Skyrim?" He just gave me a nod and walked away.
"Feel free to use this room whenever you wish." I was hoping he would say those words. Soren was already challenging Owain to a sparring match. The Scion of Legends accepted and they started to go nuts. They are definitely evenly matched skill wise. Owain, however, has more combat experience. He easily disarmed Soren and placed the wooden sword to his neck.
"The Scion of Legends truimphs again!" I grabbed a training sword and faced him.
"Let's see if you can truimph against me." Owain got ready and gave me a confident smirk. Confidence is always a good thing. But, too much will get you killed. He rushed in for a stab only for me to move to the side and trip him with my tail. He rolls up to his feet quickly and got ready.
"Don't blindly rush in." Rose started to chuckle.
"You'll ne'er hit them swinging blindly!" I face palmed. Of course I told my daughter Dragons Dogma jokes. I'm a great dad. Owain seemed equally confused but just studied me. He took a stance where he held his killing edge in one hand and had his other open and ready to help.
"There you go." He rushed me and tried for a swing at my head. I blocked and swung around with it and finished by delivering an elbow to his jaw. I lowered and swept his feet out from under him. I placed the sword to his neck and stared at him. He looked ashamed of himself for losing again.
"Will I ever beat you?" I help him up and pat his back.
"Keep practicing and you will one day."
"Were you holding back?" I never hold back.
"I don't hold back. Even against people in practice. You perform what you practice. If you hold back in practice then you will in a battle." He still didn't believe me.
"You didn't use your Drakaryn powers to help you." I chuckled a little.
"Firstly, they aren't powers. Second, I only use those if things are getting sticky. You don't use your secret weapon at the beginning of a fight do you?" He shook his head smiling.
"I understand. Next time you won't be so lucky Drakaryn!" He ran off and started to train more. I turned to Rose and slowly walked up to her.
"Really?" She just shrugged while sporting a huge grin.
"I'm a nerd like you." What have my chromosomes created? Well, she's nice and shares a lot in common with me. That's kinda what's supposed to happen. Riley was more like Emmeryn though. But, he was a lot more reserved and darker. Well, there are resesive genes I suppose. Still doesn't explain how they are here when I wasn't in the future. Damn. I need to try and get a hold of Naga.
"I need to go and get some air." She didn't seem to care and was focused on the fight between Riley and Kor. I wanted to watch my son but I need to get some answers. I went outside and stared at the woods surrounding us and sighed.
"Naga. We need to talk." It got much brighter and then I couldn't see anymore. I was wisked away and ended up on a mountain top. There were lots of flowers and trees and the whole scene was...peaceful. Naga appeared and smiled at me. I just nodded back to her.
"Thanks. Being a god must mean you are pretty busy." She chuckled and looked around.
"You'd be surprised. What do you need Drakaryn?" I just decided to start with the most important one.
"Why am I here? I don't understand why I was taken from my world and sent here. None of it makes sense." She smiled at me and gestured for me to follow. We started walking and then she started to speak again.
"You were transported here because I willed it so. I saw a fire in your soul that would never have been lit if I had not brought you here." This still didn't answer my queston.
"That still doesn't completely explain why I'm here. You wouldn't just bring me here to open my eyes." She nodded.
"That is true." She remained silent for a few seconds.
"In your world you have many different worlds. One of them that I know is the one called Halo yes?" I know Halo. Master Chief and Cortana. That's cool that Naga knows about it.
"Ya. What about Halo?"
"It exists. Along with every other world that you thought was just made up." Wait. How? Actually now that I think about it that does make sense. I am in Ylisse talking to the goddess Naga herself.
"So what does them existing have to do with me being here. Are the different worlds enemies with each other or something?" She shook her head slowly as if she was troubled.
"All the worlds work together. There are evil things out there that mean to destroy us all. I have a duty as the overseer of this world to keep my people safe. That is why I picked you. So you could keep them all safe." Me!? I'm a kid. What can I do!?
"I sense your inner turmoil Drakaryn. I know I made the right choice. You may be the first Avatar I have chosen but I know that I choose right." Avatar?
"What's an Avatar?" I know that they are the characters you can create and control. Like how Robin is the avatar for the game Awakening.
"In every universe there must be a darkness. In this world that darkness is Grima. The overseer of the world are called Seneschals. The Seneschal is to help keep the world standing. They can only intervene at certain times and to certain points. They thus pick someone who can intervene. Someone of strong will. Someone to carry the torch for the Seneschal if you will. They are called Avatars." So they are the guardians of the world so to speak.
"So I'm your Avatar." She nodded and faced me.
"You are. So far you have far surpassed my expectations."
"What happens is the Avatar dies?" She frowned.
"They die and the Seneschal must wait a hundred years before picking a new one." So I can still die. Wonderful.
"So can I go to these other worlds?" She nodded.
"If I tell you that you can. The Avatars first duty is to the Seneschal, and the Seneshcal's first duty is to the people living in the world they guard." That makes sense.
"So I'm like your super soldier so to speak?"
"Yes. Though you aren't my puppet. You have a mind and soul of your own. It is just refined and formed into something stronger than any steel. Some Avatars have been known to betray their Seneshcals and the people they are to help guard." Oh...that's rough.
"That still doesn't explain how I became a Drakaryn. I was completely normal back on Earth. How did I become what I am?" She got a face of dread on her face which caused me to worry.
"There was once a world that belonged to the Drakaryn. It was one of the first worlds actually. The Seneshcal there did very well and picked a good Avatar. The darkness, however, was too powerful for the Avatar by himself though. He fought bravely but was killed. The rest of the Drakaryn people living there scattered to the different worlds. Which is how almost every world knows about the Drakaryn. This was the the first world destroyed by the darkness and it made the other Seneschals realize that they had to work together.
They all joined forces and destroyed the darkness that almost killed off the Drakaryns. Every world made a pact that no other worlds woud suffer the same fate as the Drakaryn. They offered them places to live. The Drakaryn decided that they would help. You may be the second Drakaryn Avatar but there were plenty of Drakaryn that pledged their services to the Seneshcals and their Avatars. They were feared by the darkness because of their power and that they would do anything to destroy the darkness. Then the events of the Dragon Fall occured." Dragon Fall?
"What's Dragon Fall?" She seemed very distressed. She regained her composure and looked at me closely.
"The darkness despise each other. They have the same goals but they refuse to work together. Until they decided to make a temporary contract. They would work together until every last Drakaryn was killed. The Grimleal here led this assault and killed more Drakaryn than anyone else. That is why they are despised by everyone." So...that was what happened to my people. Damn.
"Then why wasn't my family hunted down?"
"They were. But after generations of not having to use their draconic forms they evolved to hide them so the darkness wouldn't hunt them down. This didn't work very well unfortunitely. We all tried to stop them but they swept through like a storm and left behind only Drakaryn corpses. When they stopped working together we all believed that they had killed all the Drakaryn. Every world wept. It was a time of sadness. You and your family may be the last Drakaryns in all the worlds." This is heavy. That doesn't explain how I 'awoke' though.
"So how come I couldn't change back on Earth?" She rubbed her chin in thought.
"Warping between worlds can be difficult. When I warped you here it must have awoken your Drakaryn side. That and getting slashed and stabbed by that bandit chief." Well, there's my answer. But I have more questions.
"How about my children? I wasn't in the future. How could they be here?" She seemed puzzled by this as well.
"I do not know. It is strange to me. All I can say is that I know I made the right choice in you and that I know you can stop the darkness." I can't help but doubt myself a little.
"What if I can't though?" She just smiles at me with a look that told me to shut it.
"You will. Now, I believe that you should go and train your friends if you want them to be ready for the battles ahead. You have a year and a half to get ready. Make the most out of it." I nodded. I still had another question.
"Are there multiple versions of each world?" She nodded.
"This is not the only world like this. However, this is the main one. The others are not backups, they are more of spinoffs. They do not know of any other worlds. Even the Nagas that are there do not know. The future children are different as well." That's kinda cool.
"You cannot visit them though. Avatars can only visit other worlds with other Avatars in them." I wonder what other ones there are.
"Are there any other Avatars that have been chosen recently like me?" She chuckled and nodded.
"A few. The most recent one would be a young boy in the world of Remnant. Grayson, I believe his name was. You two would get along quiet well." He sounds interesting.
"Maybe when this is over I can meet him." She nodded and looked to the sky.
"Most likely." I stood admiring the scene when I realized something. I don't know how to leave.
"Umm...how do I leave?" Naga pointed to the left and I saw two trees that crossed together making an x.
"Walk inbetween those two and you will be transported back." I don't know how that works but I'm not going to argue.
"Thanks, Naga." She smiles at me. I start to leave when she clutches her head in pain.
"What's wrong?" She slowly releases her head and turns to me.
"I think someone just used the portal I made for you to get here." They can do that?
"How?"
"The portal I used to summon you will stay there and will re-open if certain rules are met. I don't know who came through but they have." This could be either really good or really bad.
"Are they friend or foe?" She shook her head with an unsure face.
"I know not. When I figure out I will tell you. For now, just return and train them. Have faith, Drakaryn." I nod and head to the trees. I step through and reappear outside the house. I felt a little light headed but other than that I felt fine.
"Stupid warping." I walk back inside and see everyone training together. I sit next to Alfred and sigh.
"Something wrong, sir?" I turned to the old butler and nodded.
"Have you ever been told that you have to do something great but don't know if you can?" He shrugged and started to rub his chin in thought.
"I haven't. I do know this though, Master Lon'qu has faith in you and your friends so I do as well. I know that you all can do great things if you try. I'll be here to make sure you all stay on that path." I chuckle a little. He is just like Alfred. Wonder if he is. Naga did say that every other wrld existed meaning that Batman does as well.
"You remind me a lot of someone who I know." I look at hiim confused.
"Who would that be?" The old butler chuckled and stood.
"Take a wild guess." Holy shit. It is Alfred! He flashed me a smile, bowed, and left.
"Rose!" My daughter came over quickly and smiled.
"What's up?" I pointed at Alfred as he left the room.
"That is Alfred. The Alfred." She stared at him and her jaw dropped.
"No way. I need his auto-graph." She took off after the butler with all the speed she could.
"Well, at least I know where she gets it from." I said to myself with a chuckle. I stood and went up to Riley who was practicing some sword techniques with Kor.
"Came here son." He turned to me and walked up. We stared each other in the eyes. I smiled and handed him a practice sword. He smiled back and we took up our sides and squared off. He has had more practice with using his Drakaryn appendices than I have so he has the advantage there. I need to be aggressive while being defensive. He fights like me meaning if I get too jumpy he'll punish me for it.
"Show your father what you've got." He pulled up his mask and I did the same. He ran forward and jumped high in the air, using his wings for extra height. I rolled away while taking a swing at him. He deflected it and tried to stab me. I swatted it away and kneed him in the gut. I shoved him away before he could recover. He recovered quickly like I guessed he would and got ready for another round. He shot his tail forward and I just moved to the side and grabbed it. His eyed widened in surprise meaning I had control over him.
I pulled and he sailed towards me, completely off balance. I swung my sword out like a clothes line and he flew and slammed on his back. I placed the sword to his neck so to show I won.
"Very good son." I put the sword down and helped him up.
"You had me the whole time. I didn't stand a chance." I chuckled a little and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Which is why we're here to practice and make sure that when the time comes, we'll be ready." He seemed to agree with me and just nodded.
"You don't use your tail and wings as much as I would have expected." I have my reasons.
"Using those early can only come back to bite you in the ass. Try to keep those a secret if you can, then when you need it you need to catch them off guard or kill them do it. The only time I do it in the beginning is to demoralize them, or scare them off." He took this into account and just nodded. Rose returned with a paper in her hands.
"I got it!" She exclaimed happy as a lark. I stared at her and smiled.
"Let's fight." She seemed to pale at this and shook her head.
"Stealth is more of my forte." Riley walked up to her and smiled ar her warmly.
"You've been practicing and getting much better. The only way to get better is to keep practicing." She still seemed uneasy but nodded to me.
"Ok. I'll try." She walked over to the rack and looked at the weapons before shaking her head. She came back unarmed and took my fighting stance. She had it mostly right but it had a couple sloppy parts that I would have to beat out of her later.
"Your move." She nodded and ran at me. I jumped over her and spun while delivering a slash to her back. She fell to her knees. She then got up and faced me. She has spirit. She rushed forward again. I moved to the left and slashed her shoulder. She backed away and tried for a kick. I grabbed her foot and swept her other one from beneath her. She fell on her back and I pressed my sword to her neck.
"You are a little sloppy. Easy to read and too agressive." She dropped her head and groaned. I held my hand out to her and smiled.
"That's why I'm going to help you get better." She smiled and went to sit down. Kor came up to me and chuckled.
"You're a great dad." I had explained to him and the others the whole future child deal and they believed it easily.
"I try. I just want to prepare them for when the worst happens. It will happen. I just know that I won't always be there to protect them so I want to make sure they can protect themselves." I watched as Riley and Rose started to spar unarmed. He patted my back.
"Just take care of them. Me and Magan can help you as well." I wonder if he has any children.
"Do you have kids Kor?" He shook his head.
"Magan couldn't have children. We might adopt though. Lots of parentless kids after the war between Plegia and Ylisse." I rubbed my neck and sighed.
"If only that hadn't happened. Too many people died because of one idiot. I'm glad I put him on the ground though." Kor scowled. He hated Gangrel as much as I did, if not more so. I felt my mind wander to who this person Naga said arrived here. Who could it be? I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see Emmeryn.
"Yes Emm?" She had a determined look in her eyes and smiled.
"I want...to...t-train too." She had a staff in her hands though it was different from most staffs. It looked very familiar to one I had seen somewhere before. It looked like it was made out of glass and was a rod that has two dragons running up it in a swirl. When it reached the top the heads wrapped around and made came together and they faced each other. It looked like it could channel magic really well. I took it and looked it over. I smiled and wanted to try something.
"Everyone move aside please." They all did so and stood behind me waiting. I started to channel my energy into the staff and saw the area inbetween the two dragon heads glow from the fire burning there. I started to get tired but kept going. I felt it click and I knew it was charged.
"Commenstion!" A wall of fire shot out in front of me and everyone, me included, jumped back. I looked at the staff and smirked.
"Where did you get this?" She shook her head and looked distressed as she tried to remember.
"Not...sure." I gave it back to her and put a hand on her shoulder and smiled.
"It's fine. It looks like it can channel healing magic as well. Practice with it and see what spells you can create." She nodded and got the same determined look in her eyes and went to practice. I looked at the staff and it clicked.
"Dragons Dogma." Rose heard me and looked at the staff and nodded.
"That's why commenstion worked for it." That is true. I felt like I had run a marathon after using that thing though. Then again, I'm not a huge magic user so Emmeryn would have more luck than me. I watched her create a small ball of fire and shoot it forward and torch a dummy.
"She's fast." Rose nodded, clearly impressed at her mothers skill.
"To think she was once an Exalt." It is hard to believe. She sure didn't look the part now. She had her black leather armor and head band. Her crown was gone and she had tied her hair into a low pony tail. How much weirder could this all get?
"Ugh...where am I?" The girl who was in her late teens stood up and looked around. She had brown hair that was tied up in a bun. Her brown eyes scanned around her. She was 5'6" and had a sure posture about her. She was skinny and has fairly tan skin from being in the sun all the time. Her legs were fit from all the running she did for basketball, soccer, and numerous other sports.
"I am so confused right now." She continued looking and recounted what happened. She had sat by the fire place and started to play the game Fire Emblem Awakening. She thought it would give her answers. All it did was make that large ball of light blind her and when she opened them she was here.
"This doesn't make any sense." She looked at herself and gasped. She was wearing some type of iron armor.
"Isn't this from Skyrim?" Her brother had helped her play it once because she was interested in the game. She wasn't a huge gamer and mostly played Minecraft. When her brother had dissappeared and all that was left was his 3DS with the game Fire Emblem Awakening in it she had wanted to figure out what it meant. She then decided to play the game and figure it out. She was on chapter three or four when she decided to play in front of the fire place to keep warm.
"This makes no sense." She looked and saw she had an iron war hammer on her back. She saw a group of men approaching her. They had fur on and looked dangerous. They all had giant axes and looked at her with a thirst for blood.
"You lost pretty girl?" She backed away and saw she had lots of room to run. She was very fast and could run very far.
"Back off." They chuckled darkly.
"Come one now. We aren't that bad." She had her survival instincts kick in and she pulled the war hammer off her back and lowered her stance.
"I won't hesistate to kill you." She had no idea how to fight with this thing. She may have been bluffing but they seemed to believe her.
"There's four of us and one of you though." She lifted the hammer above her head with ease. It was lighter than it looked and they seemed to be a little unnerved by this. Then they relaxed.
"There's still four of us and only one of you." They started to approach her and she responded by swinging at the first one. He jumped back and she lost her momentum and fell on her side.
"She was bluffing." They started to approach the fallen girl when a man in silver and red armor jumped in front of them. He had a red cape and...blue hair!? He was pretty tall and had a yellow sword in his hand. He looked to be in his early twenties. He had a head band around his forhead and he had piercing blue eyes.
"Hold! You will not harm this women!" They didn't seemed fazed by him and just kept coming up to him.
"Who are you to tell us?" The front man swung his axe only for it to be caught at the handle and in a flash the mans arm was severed. The girl looked away when she saw this.
"I am Priam. Descendant of the Radiant Hero!" They seemed to be frightened when he said this and they took off running. The man without an arm fell to the ground crying out in pain. Priam plunged his sword into the mans chest and killed him.
"The strong survive." Priam sheathed his sword and faced the girl.
"Are you alright?" She looked up and not at the dead man. He helped her up and gave her her hammer.
"Y-ya. You killed him." She looked at the man who had a hole in his chest.
"Yes. He was a bandit who deserved what he got. Now then, who are you?"
"Emma." He nodded to her and started to head away from her.
"Wait up!" She may be new but she could already tell that this man could help her. She walked next to him and waited to see if he would object.
"Where are you going?" He kept his eyes on the road but spoke to her.
"To find the Drakaryn."
"Drakaryn?" Emma had never heard of such a strange thing.
"They are a race of beings who were though to be extinct. Then one showed up. He fights like a demon and is a worthy fighter, or so I have heard. I have been scouring the world for a worthy opponent. This Drakaryn sounds like one I could not miss out on." She nodded her head in undertanding. She still didn't known where she was.
"Where are we anyways?" He chuckled a little.
"Just a little ways east of my home. The Garden of Giants. The continent is Valm." Valm. She had never heard of that.
"So where is this Drakaryn guy?"
"Somewhere in Ylisse." Had she heard him right? Ylisse. As in the Ylisse from Fire Emblem Awakening?
"Wait. With Exalt Emmeryn?" Priam shook his head.
"She was killed by the mad king, Gangrel. Then the Drakaryn killed the mad king. Why?" She knew she would just have to be straight with him.
"I'm from a different world and I have heard about this world in mine. I didn't think it existed at all. Guess I was wrong." Priam looked over at her through his piercing blue eyes and frowned.
"How did you get here then?" She didn't have the answer to that question.
"I'm not entirely sure." Priam grunted and continued walking. She walked all day with him until they reached a small town.
"Here, now you can leave me alone." She couldn't believe that he would just throw her away.
"No way. This place is dangerous and you know how to fight. I'm sticking with you. Maybe this Drakaryn has some answers for me. He sounds wise."
Else where in Ylisse Travis stubbed his toe on a table.
"Son of a biscut with hot fudge on top!"
"Nice censorship dad."
"I don't know. You can't fight and would only slow me down." Emma glared at him angrily and crossed her arms.
"Then teach me how to fight." Priam looked away and ran a hand through his hair.
"Very well. Just know that I will not coddle you. This is war and you will have to be trained like you are in one." Emma was starting to regret her decision but held strong.
"When do we start?" She jumped back and landed on her back narrowly avoiding Priam's sword and it whizzed past her head.
"Now."
"What have I done?"
Three days later
"Very good Soren. Keep pushing him back. Owain, defend man." I watched as the two combatants battled it out for supremacy. Soren was being very offensive and causing Owain to defend. Owain almost never spent time blocking so this was very difficult for him. Soren landed a good blow on Owain's shoulder knocking him back. Owain finished by kicking his knees, knocking the future child on the ground, and placing his sword to his neck.
"Woah. That was hard." Owain grumbled and stood up. He had been training very hard for the past few days, everyone had been, but something seemed to be nagging at him. If this keeps happening then he might make this mistake in a real battle. That would cost him his head. I walked up to him and smacked his head.
"What's wrong?" He stared at me with guilt.
"What's up Owain?" He looked away and sighed.
"What if we fail?" Well, that was unexpected. Especially from him.
"We won't if we practice and get better. That's why we're here." He seemed to snap.
"What if it isn't enough! The Shepherds lost once before! What's to stop that from happening again!?" I stared at him and poked him.
"You." I pointed to myself, "Me. Riley, Rose, Emmeryn. All of us." He looked around at the others and grimaced.
"I'm sorry." I walked to the middle and stood against him.
"Unarmed." He threw his sword away and got in a boxing stance. Wonder if they have boxing?
"You are under a lot of pressure. I get it, but now isn't the time for self doubt. I suffer from it as well. I know a lot of things that if you were told would make your head spin clean off." He nodded and rushed forward. He swung with his right only for it to be caught.
"Focus. Stop lashing out." He retracted his hand and got ready. He jabbed and I swatted it away. He followed with another, and another, and another. He tried to double jab. I grabbed both and twisted them.
"Try something new. Watch." I threw him back and took a jab. He blocked it easily. I took two more and then surprised him with a knee to the gut. He bent over and I punched his back sending him sprawling to the ground.
"Caught you off guard didn't I?" He got up and nodded.
"Then do that. Some enemies cannot be overpowered with straight up force. Cunning and deception are good tools as well." He looked a little shocked.
"Isn't that dishonorable though?" I shook my head and walked closer. I kneed him right inbetween that legs causing him to fall over in pain.
"There is no such thing as an honorable fight. There is survive and die. The only honor you get is afterwards when you can say 'I get to go home with my life.' That's honor. Now get up and try to hit me." He stood and tried a jab. I batted it away and the next three jabs. He tried a knee like me which I easily caught.
"Make your own attacks. Stop following people's paths. Make your own and be proud of it." He tried two jabs and jumped up and drop kicked me. It did surprise me and knocked me back.
"Very good." He flipped up quickly and rushed forward and tried an uppercut. He was still tense. I moved to the side and shoved him away.
"Lossen up. Let go. Fight!" He ran forward and tried a left hook. I stopped it and he responded with a knee to my gut. He then bent me over and dropped an elbow on my back. I fell to the ground and smiled. I flew up quickly and uppercutted him. He bent back and I grabbed his legs and started to spin him. I let go and he hit the ground with a thud.
"Expect the unexpected. Always." He got up and nodded. I walked off the mat and sat. He came up to me and smiled.
"Thanks." I bowed to him and looked back. Rose was sparring Magan who was wearing an assassins garb. Like Assassins Creed garb. It was the traditional white with red highlights. She had the hood up so you could barely make out the bottom of her chin and a small amount of her neck. It flowed down and almost looked like a dress but the sides were cut so it could bend and underneath she had white cloth pants. She had a Rapier and reminded me of a female Ezio. Her and Rose were exchanging blows.
"Come on Rose!" I called to her. She nodded and started to swing Fang of Nyx faster. She didn't ignite it because she didn't want to hurt Magan. She couldn't hit the assassin though. Magan was so fast it was like trying to track a fly. Her rapier was a practice one but when she jabbed Rose with it she definitely felt the hits. Rose looked tired and beat. She wasn't lying when she said stealth was her specialty. I need to train Riley and Rose how to be better assassins.
"Ugh!" Rose was elbowed in the gut and fell over and found the tip of the rapier pointed at her neck. Magan threw the hood off and helped Rose up.
"Well done. You're getting much better." Rose chuckled uneasily and sat down next to me. I called Riley over and when they were both next to me I started to speak.
"I want to train you two how to become better in the arts of assassination, and stealth." They both got excited. I had apparently told them about Assassins Creed and they had been very interested in becoming assassins.
"When do we start?"
"Midnight."
Riley and Rose snuck through the underbrush quietly and quickly. The light from the half moon guiding them along. Their mission was to hide from their father for as log as possible. Seemed simple except he had more experience then they had. They used their wings and silently ascended a tree. They waited for what felt like hours.
"Where is he?" Rose whispered. Riley shrugged. Then they were both tackled from behind and thrown to the ground. They tried to get up but they couldn't.
"First rule of being an assassin. Never let your guard down." They stopped struggling when two hidden blades appeared by their necks.
"Second, don't talk. Use hand signals or eye signals. Any noise, no matter how small, can and will betray you." The blades retracted and they were both helped up.
"Good first attempt though. Same time every other night until I think you two are ready." They were dismissed to go to bed. Travis stood there smiling.
"They show lots of promise." He looked at the moon and sighed.
"But, will they be ready when the time for war comes?" Only time will tell.
