Me: ok... this chapter might not be as good as the other ones... but... trying.
"Come on Sain!" Kent called, "I'm sure you can do it faster than that!!"
Sain was throwing his arm out trying to hit the targets with his javelin. Finally, he got one; two, three... and then all the targets were filled.
"Great job training today, Sain." Kent said on the way out of the training grounds.
"Thanks Kent." Sain smiled. "Hey, is it finally break time?"
"Uh, yeah, it's break time."
"Ok... I'll see you at the battle."
Kent sighed. He already had a long day and it was only two. Well, counting the fact that he wakes up at six o'clock each day. He was tired, and Sain really wasn't helping him. Then there's that battle at three. Everyone only had an hour to break. Kent walked slowly around the campsite trying to relax. Just as he finally got settled, he heard a loud voice, calling everyone who was going into battle. Kent heard his name and ran towards the front of the campsite.
"Thanks for reporting Kent." Hector said. "Now, go over there next to that tent." Hector pointed to the tent.
"Ok." Kent said as he walked over to the place where Hector said. Kent felt like something had to be missing. He had great friends... and he was really smart...but what was he missing? Every morning he'd wake up to find the hole in his heart even bigger than what it once was. He couldn't ever figure out what was missing.
"Hey, Kent!" Sain said happily. "What's new?"
Kent looked at his friend trying not to let his depression get to him. "Nothing."
Sain looked at his friend with a worried look. Usually, Kent would always keep a serious tone of voice, but this time it sounded depressing. "Kent. I know something's wrong. What is it?"
"Nothing." Kent said again.
Sain looked angry. "Fine. Don't tell me."
Fiora also had the same feeling hidden deep down inside her. She looked at Kent from across the tent. She knew that she was getting called into the battle. Around Kent she felt better than when she is around her sisters. Was he that important to her? They were the same in almost every way. Were they meant to be? Finally, Fiora heard her name and went to join the people at the tent. She looked at Kent, her face almost as red as his armor. She wanted to be around him.
BATTLEFIELD
In the battle, Fiora quickly skimmed the area looking for enemies. You could never be too careful. Just then, she thought she saw a familiar face. "Kent?" Fiora looked over at the crimson knight. "Oh...Uh...Hi Kent."
Kent quickly turned around. He looked alarmed. Realizing whom it was, he let out a sigh. Kent looked into Fiora's eyes. He thought that he finally found what he was searching for all of his life. Fiora felt the exact same. They both wanted to let their emotions gush out of them so they just talked at the same time. "I..." Fiora started.
"You." Kent interrupted.
They both looked at each other straight in the eyes, and there was a long pause. "....... Forgive me." Fiora said breaking the silence.
"No. It is I who should be apologizing." Kent said.
"We..." Fiora started again.
"I..." Kent tried to say. There was another long pause. They couldn't really say anything. Both of their hearts were racing.
".......... Why don't you go first?" Kent asked.
Fiora shook her head. "No, please you first."
Kent took a deep breath. "Very well then. Fiora... Please stay with me. When you are near, I feel as if I fight more bravely...more keenly... So what do you say?"
Fiora felt so happy. Like all feelings wanted to burst right then and there. Instead of losing it, she tried to keep her cool, and took a deep breath as well. "Actually, I...came to ask you the same thing." Her face turned red again.
Kent felt happy too. "Really? I'm glad." Kent felt really embarrassed about that conversation so he tried switching the subject. "Uh... anyway, about that policy I suggested... What should we do?"
Fiora smiled. "Well...perhaps...it can wait..."
Kent found the hole in his heart to just suddenly became full. He wanted to hug Fiora right there on the field. But... he figured that it would be wise to wait. Just then, a wyvern appeared right behind Fiora. Kent got in front of her and threw his javelin at the wyvern rider. But it didn't bring him down. Kent was very worried about that. Then, he saw another javelin hit the wyvern rider, and it brought him down. Kent turned to find Fiora.
"Thanks Kent." Fiora smiled. Finally, they heard the bellow of victory, and they all headed back to their campsites.
Me: Done with this chapter! Don't worry, there's still another chapter or two.
