Chapter 2: The Path to the Test

It was almost nearing the day when he shall leave this place he thought he had called home. Everything was almost set. Blair was so exited when Francezca approached him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hey Franz, listen I've been cho-"

"Yes, me too!" francezca said "I've been chosen to train in the assassin clan! Isn't that great! I'm sooo happy, and my master said you could come and train with me."

"But…!" Blair couldn't believe it that they would still be separated. "I'm also chosen...to be a hunter," he said.Francezca looked disappointed. "Oh...well...we'll still see each other... I mean aren't you also headed to the Gailingwinds too."

"I'm… not sure... all the Valkyrie told me was… that I was chosen to be the heir of the Hunter's guild... of Arrowhill."

"Hey! My master told me that arrowhill was only a few walks there," she said, very exited. "He said that we would first stop there to talk to the leader I think his name was Hunter Ferdinand...something..?"

"Yes!" Blair shouted "Yes, I could still see you!" And he kissed her on the cheek.

"Hey," Francezca blushed. "Don't be too excited. Well, I'll have to prepare my things now... see you in Arrowhill!"

"Yes, and I shall be seeing you there as well," Blair said in a sarcastic tone that made Francezca chuckle.

"And don't forget."

"Don't forget what?" Francezca said.

"That in my heart?" Blair said.

"Oh yeah," francezca said cheerfully. "My love for you will be pure, wherever I go far away from you."

And with that they both went back to their houses and enjoyed their last dinner here in their time.

Blair took his escape through the secret hole he made when he was 12. His trunk was enough to fit inside the hole. The hole was under his bed where their maid doesn't clean it. After he squeezed himself out the hole, he found Franceza talking to someone.

"Yes, master. I am ready for the test."

"Hmm... indeed, pupil. I have chosen well... where is your… umm… boyfriend?" the tall man said.

Blair appeared and saw the clear view of the man. The man was wearing a perfect middle-aged assassin clothes, with a huge knife and dagger case on his right arm, and a medallion bearing a symbol of a dragon with a dagger struck into the heart.

The master looked around at Blair and said, "Ah, this must be him. I've noticed you coming out of that hole beside that...door."

"I'm sorry sir, but… I was assigned to be a Hunter, so I guess you will just have to cancel seeing me train with my girlfriend," Blair said.

"Oh...very well then, Francezca come here," the man said, lowering his back and setting up the dagger case he was holding. Inside was 5 daggers with different animals engraved into it a bear, a dragon, a rabbit, a fish, and a monkey.

"You shall choose a weapon on which to begin your training. Your training will be classified according to the dagger you chose so choose wisely," the man warned her.

"I'll choo-" she was interrupted by an owl swooping over her head and landing beside Blair then, with one quick glance of the owl, it turned into a woman. "Greetings, Hunter Blair," Valkyrie Ellaine said in a queen-ish tone "Are you ready?"

"Ah, Ellaine. We meet again, I see," the man said.

"Oh, I didn't see you, Vincent," the Valkyrie said. "Pardon me, but I have a mission at hand."

"Yes, you may continue with it," Vincent said.

"Hunter Blair, in order to continue your mission, you must choose your weapon to be using in your training." She waved her sword and held 5 bows with the same identical symbols as of Vincent's daggers. The symbols where held on a medallion tied to the bow.

"Hey, Francezca," Blair said, smiling "What will you choose?"

"Hmm..." Francezca said thinking.

"The one with the dragon on it," they both said.

"Very well," Vincent and Ellaine said together. "Your training shall start at Dragon Mountain."

The two picked up their weapons proudly at each other. They both raised their hands and Ellaine explained to the two. "Blair, you shall have to find a place before you could start the training and you. Francezca, you shall seek magna, umm… just in case, she's a girl."

"Oh," Francezca said. Ellaine and Vincent both casted the spells. "Ontum Matak Mina Tooi Dragon Mountain Entrance!"

A flash of blue light came out of the tip of Blair's bow and went towards Blair and his trunk and sucked his entire body inside the hole it was drawing out then a flash of violet and pink cloud erupted violently and wrapped francezca all around her body. And then, Vincent said, "Good luck."

And then after that, he blew the smoke and Francezca disappeared together with the some that was evaporating mysteriously in the starry sky.

And so the training has begun.
