~*Chapter 2: A red dawn*~

"Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee! Lyn, help me!" At the other side of the sea of grass, Lyn cocked her head and listened to the cry of help. West. She was sure. She quickly grabbed her iron sword of the table and buckled the sheath on and ran outside. "Lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyynnnnnnnnn! Help!" She turned west and ran as fast as she could.

As soon as she was at the bottom of the hill, she saw Florina and two brigands. A fire of hatred quickly flared and she ran at the one closed to her friend and drew her sword as she ran. He turned and roared and ran at her. Well, actually past her. They did a pass (you know, where, normally in joust, two people ran past each other with their weapons out?) and she hit him and he was dead before he hit the ground. The other one wasn't as stupid, or weak. He swung his axe wildly and threateningly at Lyn. Florina squeak and threw her javelin at him, and missed. He roared and brought his axe crashing on the lance, sending bits of wood everywhere. Lyn quickly silenced him-before he would do the same thing to Florina.

Speaking of, she looked at Florina. "You alright?"

Florina was breathing hard and slightly whimpering. "Ye-yes, I think so..and Merak (her Pegasus, that really is the name, in chapter 15, you have Hector and Florina talk, and it will say so) is alright too." She gently stroked the Ethereal Pegasi' (white Pegasi) neck.

Lyn's breathing slowed. "So..why'd you come up here?"

Florina seemed shocked. "Why, to see you, of course!"

Lyn just smiled.

"Focus, Sain, focus!" General Wallace, the instructor of low-level cavaliers, yelled at Sain as he charged at the hay bale. Sain aimed his lance and..missed. "I should just throw him out, shouldn't I?" Wallace muttered to himself, shaking his head. Kent looked at his teacher, slightly surprised he would say such a thing. True, Sain had about a thirty percent chance of hitting but..

Saint trotted back from the other side of the field. "You said something, General. Could you say it again, I didn't catch it. Wallace shook his head, claiming to have said nothing, but telling Sain to try again because he was not to leave the training grounds until he had hit the target. "Yes sir," Sain said brightly, turning back and preparing to charge.

"Ah, sorry Kent, but this might take a while." Wallace gave a frustrated sigh and leaned on his lance.

"General Wallace, sir, I think it is a bit unfair for you to not put more trust in Sain. I mean, he's quite strong, it's just that he has accuracy problems.." Wallace looked at him.

"Yea, yes, I know all that. But it's ultimately better to have more accuracy and less power. What's that look you give me? Ah yes, my accuracy is nothing outstanding but at least I hit every once in a while. I should just expel him." Wallace drifted back into muttering darkly.

Kent waited until he had stopped muttering and continued. "But over time he will be able to be more....accurate. You shouldn't expel him just-"

The general laughed, a deep and resounding laugh that seemed to echo in the wide meadow with the ten other cavaliers who were training, and his laughed bounced of the hay bales and right back to where they were standing. "Expel him?! Why, dear boy, I would never dream of expelling a youth with that much spirit! Ha!"

Kent was relieved for the older cavalier. But at that moment, when Sain was about halfway across the field from coming back, Eaglear showed up. He was the instructor of high-level cavaliers and low-level paladins. "So, Wallace, having fun?"

Wallace turned around abruptly. "Ea-Eaglear-Uh..what brings you here?"

"Oh, every student in my class managed to break through a steel barrel, so I gave them the rest of the day off. How about you?" He surveyed the grounds. "Hay bales, eh? Haha..that makes me laugh..haha." Eaglear suddenly barked at Sain. "You boy! Show me what you can do." Sain nodded agreeably and turned his horse around. Kent heard Wallace praying under his breath.

Sain's horse backed up. He closed one eye and looked at hay bale and aimed his lance and charged. Escapea's (Sain's horse) hooves pounded against the grass and as he drew closer, General Wallace's praying became faster. Sain was one-hundred yards away..fifty..ten. Sain was right in front of it now..

BAM! Sain's lance went straight through the center of the hay bale, sending straw everywhere. Kent let out a relieved grin for his friend as he charged back to them. "Well..uh," Eaglear seemed surprised beyond words. "You have been busy..um..will you excuse me?" Eaglear trotted away, still in shock.

"Haha, you did it boy!" Wallace rammed his fist on Sain's knee, making him fall off Escapea. "You did it-whoops, sorry bout that." Sain beamed, as happy as a child on New Sun. Kent put that day in his memory.
