"Good. Now that you all have learned this, we will leave you for the night to fully absorb everything. We will be back tomorrow and I will start with you." Honruh laughed. Everyone but Harry glanced around nervously. "And Harry, Hermione and Ginny, your ministry cannot track your wand here, so you have can use magic all you want. Now-" Honruh waved his hand and six large beds appeared around the room. "-rest! For tomorrow I will work you until you collapse!" Honruh chuckled as he left.
"He will do nothing of the sort. I will make sure of it. But do sleep because Honruh will train you until you can hardly move." Adila said over her shoulder as she left after Honruh.
Chapter 3 – Armed and Training
The teens sat in silence for a few minutes while thinking about everything they had just learned. The had just learned that they each had control of one of the six elements, they would be given dragons with their powers, they were going to learn magic not known to humans for who-knows-how-long and they would be learning how to fight with real weapons.
"This is amazing. I've never read of anything like this happening." Hermione whispered to the group. They all nodded. "So we all have elemental powers. I wonder what we'll be able to do exactly with these powers." Hermione said in a brighter voice, trying to break the silence.
"Well, I'll be able to control water, so that's pretty straight-forward. You will control earth." Zach said, pointing at Hermione. "Umm, Ginny right?" He continued after she nodded. "You should have fire. Harry should have shadow, and John will have light. Mary will have air."
"What could John and I do exactly?" Harry asked. "I mean, neither shadows nor light can physically attack. Do I send them into endless darkness and attack them then? And does John blind them? We should go to sleep, maybe we'll have a better idea when we wake up." Everyone nodded and headed for a bed.
The next morning the teens were awakened rudely by an enormous BANG! The girls yelped and sat bolt upright, Zach and John looked around before sitting up and Harry was out of his bed, wand in his hand in no time.
"Calm down Harry!" Honruh yelled. "It's time to get up and begin training. Everyone up and come over here." All the teens walked over to where he was standing. "Now the first thing we need to do is give you some real battle armor. Follow me and Adila will give you your armor." The group walked through a door that appeared in the wall and walked down a short hall. Another door opened and they looked around this new room. It looked exactly like the one they had slept in.
They heard Adila cough and turned to face her. Behind her were six similar suits of armor. The suits only difference was their color. The colors (you can probably guess) were black, light brown, red, silver, blue and yellow. They each had a piece that covered both shoulders and curved down to a chest piece. This piece covered from the neck to the bottom of the ribs and around the back. Some chair mail fell down through there and disappeared into the next part. It came all the way down the thighs and stopped just above the knees. Another piece covered the knee. Another piece went the rest of the way down and included the foot. On either side of the armor were gauntlets that went up to the elbow. Along the edges of every piece the color broke to plain white and across the chest there were many runes inscribed into the piece. The runes on every suit were different from another suit's runes. The each walked up to the armor that they guessed was theirs.
"Go ahead and put it on." Adila said. "If anyone needs help ask, but you should learn how to put it on your self." The teens all nodded and began putting the armor on piece by piece. Every one struggled because the pieces were so heavy and Mary asked Honruh why they couldn't just enchant them to be lighter.
Honruh shrugged and said "You'll get stronger faster if the pieces are heavier." Mary snorted and continued putting on the chest piece, still having great trouble. Zach was done first, due to him already being strong. Harry finished next and looked at himself. He thought he looked pretty menacing with the armor. With one look at Zach and he knew he must be. Ginny got hers on next and looked proud. Mary was done next and the four all made a circle around Hermione and John, helping when they could. Finally the group was finished adorning the armor and they all turned to look at Honruh and Adila.
"Good! I'm glad to see you all could get most of it on. Now we will go train. We will use a few different weapons to see what each of you are most efficient with. The group followed Honruh through another door, but they were surprised when they all began walking. The armor made no noise. Harry knew the armor was charmed that way for stealth. How some of them would be able to use stealth due to the colors on their armor he had no clue.
The teens trained for two weeks using many different weapons. Swords, bows, spears, staffs, axes and many others. Finally, one afternoon of training, Honruh left the room and returned a few moments later with three weapons. Next to him was Adila with three other weapons.
"You have all trained hard and now you will be given your weapons." Honruh announced. He walked up to Ginny and from his back he drew an amazing bow and quiver. The bow was brown, but it had what looked like vines made out of fire wrapping around it. In the middle was space for Ginny to hold it and a rest for the arrow. At each tip were more of the vines things that made the bow look like it had frozen fire on it. At the base of these flames was a huge ruby. "The quiver is enchanted to refill as soon as it empties and every arrow is perfectly straight." Honruh smiled, a rare thing, and handed the weapon to her.
Next he went to Hermione and handed her two swords. But they were no ordinary swords. They were about thirty-six inches long each and were razor sharp. But instead of coming to a point at the end, they curved and ended pointing straight back. Back at the base of the pommel was a huge tiger's eye. "The blades are enchanted to be eternally sharp. As you have shown, you can use these to swing in forests, or on other round objects." Hermione blushed at Honruh's praise as she remembered what had happened.
The group had been practicing with these odd swords, hook swords, Honruh called them, and Hermione had stumbled while practicing. She saw John, who froze when he saw her falling, watch her fall. She shot her arm out and the tip hooked on his out stretched arm. Before he knew what had happened, Hermione had spun around and landed square on her feet.
Honruh then moved to Mary. He pulled the last weapon he had from under his arm. It looked like a plain sword, but had an extra thick sheath. She drew the sword and marveled at it. It had a silver and blue pommel, both colors wrapping around each other up the pommel. At the base of the pommel was a huge diamond. But the reason for the thick sheath was the sword had dual blades, both gleaming brightly. "I knew I would get a masamune!" She said, waving the sword happily.
"Good, you could probably take on a small army and win with your skills." Honruh praised. Mary just beamed at him and strapped the sheath onto the belt of her suit. The six teens had grown accustomed to the suits and could now walk and move as if the suits were nothing.
Now Adila stepped up to Zach. She reached behind her back and drew an extraordinary axe. It had a wooden handle that had laced up to a part where it split into two, forming a Y shape. Attached to both sides of the Y were axe blades, both looking extremely deadly. Set into the base of the handle was a huge sapphire. "With your strength and balance, you should cut down enemies as if they were nothing but air." Honruh praised, once again.
Adila now stepped up to John. She pulled from under one arm, a bladed staff. It had a thick wooden staff, and at both ends were insane looking blades. Both blades curved in two different directions, but before they could come back and form a circle, one of the curves stopped and the other went straight and had a razor sharp point. In the center of the whole piece was a huge piece of amber. "You excelled with this weapon and could wield it better than anyone I have ever seen." Honruh said. John blushed and stuttered his thanks.
Adila now stepped up to Harry and brought out the last weapon. She handed the sheathed sword to Harry and walked back to stand next to Honruh. Harry slowly drew his sword out of its sheath and stared at the wicked blade in his hand. It had a black pommel, with red wire wrapped around it. At the base of the pommel was a sleek piece of black onyx, cut to the shape of a cone. The hand guard looked like a leaf. It had one piece reaching far out and 3 others that reached out. The blade was pure black, but with white streaks running up it. About eight inches down the thirty-six inch blade, the metal cut made a sharp cut in and then made another sharp cut back towards the point. On the other side, about twenty inches up the blade, it also curved in. Harry stared at the sword, gob smacked that such a piece of art was in his hands. "You have wielded a sword better than anyone could have. You could hold a fight against any elf, and could beat most dwarfs. I am honored to have trained you." Harry suddenly felt uneasy getting the attention. He sheathed the sword and strapped it to his belt. Harry watched the others test out their amazing weapons before turning to Adila. "So, what is next in our training?
So did you guys get the idea of what the weapons looked like? Sorry if the descriptions are really bad. Hint for next chappie: something big and starts with a D. I'll have the update by the end of the week at the latest! Review please!
