RPOV
Today is my first day to practice with them. I'm excited. In the Dragmoir Kingdom, I was the best fighter. I even beat Andre. There wasn't a soldier who could beat me because most of my life I spend practising or protecting Lissa. I now want to know about their skills and want to learn them. I wore my usual dress. I hated those ball gowns but love these kinds of practice dresses. Some idiots who think that girls should be ladies used to look at me with disgust when I wore them but I didn't care. Even once an old woman asked me to practice in those ball gowns so that I will look beautiful in the battle! What an idiotic woman? I'm not going to dance in the middle of the battle! Assholes!
After I wore it I took my sword.
It is the most beautiful and most amazing sword I've seen in my life. I got this when I was named as a guardian to serve Lissa. It is so special to me because it was the last gift I received from Dragmoir parents. I do not address them as parents in front of anyone but alone. I loved them and they did too.
I was done wearing my long hair up when someone knocked on the door.
"yes?" I asked from the soldier who was standing now in front of me.
"His majesty King Dimitri ordered us to escort you to the practice area, Guardian Hathaway," he told with respect.
"I'm done. Let's go." I told him and left the room with him.
We soon arrived at a practice area. It wasn't much different from one we had in our land. But much colder. I saw some soldiers practising and some are sharping swords. They all curiously looked at me. Lucky for me we soon arrived where their majesties were practising.
"Holy shit!" Adrien looked at me with his jaw hanging down.
"You will catch flies Adrien" Christian told while rolling his eyes.
"Stop acting like you haven't seen me like this. When we met I was wearing this." I told him while laughing.
"Well you were covered with mud and blood and now you look simply amazing Little guardian."
I rolled my eyes.
"Stop calling me that!" I hissed at him.
"Sorry little guardian, remember you have to serve all of us! That means you will hear me calling that to you," he said smirking.
"Fine fine. Shall we begin?" I asked giving up fighting with him.
"Yes Rose, You will start practising with Eddie first," Ivan told.
"Are you sure you can practice?" Dimitri asked me.
"More than sure," I told and he nodded.
Eddie came inside the circle and took his sword out I did the same.
"Let's see sister whether you can beat me," he said.
"I think I've proved that to you already," I told and he attacked.
I blocked it immediately and he kept attacking while I blocked all of them and as I got the chance I started attacking him and he started blocking. He suddenly attacked me and even I caught though my surprise I bent down and attacked his leg and then got up turn around and attacked his stomach.
"Sorry brother but you are dead." He was looking at me with wide eyes along with others.
"That only took 5 minutes," Ivan told. I smirked proudly.
"Next to me." Said Adrien. and I nodded.
We started fighting and he was easier than Eddie. His dodge was slow but he didn't give up fighting. He has courage, I give it to him.
"That was easier," told Eddie.
"But how?"
"Your dodge was slower than mine," I told him while panting.
"want to rest, Hathaway?" Ivan asked.
"A little bit, if you don't mind," I told them amused by my tone.
"Okay let's rest," Dimitri told.
We all sat down.
"Are you alright?" Dimitri asked me while passing me water.
"Yeah, I've never felt so exhausted. I used to fight for hours." I told him.
"Your side effects," Dimitri told and I nodded.
"do you want to stop?" Christian asked.
"no, I'll be fine," I told him.
"Your sword is nice," Eddie told.
"want to hold it?" I asked and he nodded. I passed it to him.
"It was a gift from Dragmoirs," I told.
"It is so beautiful," Dimitri told. I smiled.
"They gave it to me the day I named as a guardian," I told them.
"How did you ended up as a guardian? You aren't 18 yet" Dimitri asked.
"I, Andre and Mason was the best among our sessions. We were named as guardians soon as we finished our training." I explained.
"You were amazing! Why did you become a guardian?" Ivan asked.
I suddenly lost in memories of that horrible night.
"Rose?" Dimitri asked.
"I wanted to be strong," I replied blindly.
"Shall we start again?" I asked before they could ask any other questions.
"Yeah," Dimitri told.
Next, I fought with Christian, which was not hard because he used to fight with his element and without using it he is not the best. Practising with Ivan was pretty much hard because he was so good. He was quick and fast which made me exhausted with dodging. But I beat him with a surprise attack.
"Wow," Ivan told. I smirked.
As Dimitri came into the ring I had this feeling which told me that this is going to be hard.
I started and he kept dodging and he attacked I dodged. We kept doing this and the best of all is none of my surprise attacks work on him Damn! He is an examiner. I didn't want to give up so I kept attacking and it was exhausting. He didn't cross the lines. He went on to my rhythm knowing that I'm weaker than before. Suddenly he attacked me and I flew back and fell.
"Well Guardian Rose Hathaway, you are dead," he told and offered me a hand. I took it and attacked him back making him falling on his back and me on top of him and kept my sword in his neck.
"you didn't kill me so I guess you are dead," I whispered.
At that moment our eyes locked and I couldn't think about anything else but his eyes. They hold so much power and emotions that I couldn't recognize because they weren't in my life.
Suddenly I heard a whistle which brought me back to life and I blinked and got up at a rapid speed.
"Oh my god! What the hell was that? How did you even do that?" Adrien asked while laughing.
"That's not fair," Eddie told.
"He made me flew back not killed. We weren't using our powers so that won't kill me unless there is a sharp point that will kill me. " I told him.
"First lesson I learned in my practice, never enjoy your victory or turn your back until you are sure that your enemy is dead." I continued.
"She has a point. I forgot that we are ignoring our powers." Dimitri told.
"You are fucking awesome! No one has ever beat all of us in one day!" Ivan told.
"All my life since I started practising, it has only been training, fighting and protecting," I told them
"I don't know what to say Rose" Eddie told. I just smiled.
"Well I guess, that's it for today," Dimitri told. We all nodded and all left leaving me and Dimitri. I turned and went to take my bag and smiled at him before leaving.
"You hesitate!" He suddenly told me.
"What?" I asked.
"After each your attack you hesitate for a second. That is what made me easier to attack you." He told.
"Thank you," I told him.
"You're a good examiner comrade," I told him.
"comrade?" He asked me.
"It suits you," I told him smiling.
"You do know that I'm a king, right?" He asked me.
"Oh yes your majesty but that won't stop me telling you that," I paused for a minute and told" Comrade"
He smiled. "Go and rest, you need it, Roza," He told me as I turned.
Roza?
"Umm okay, see you later Dimitri," I told and left.
Well, today was nice. I thought while having a relaxing bath after arriving in my room. I can't help but think about Dimitri's eyes. I also can't help waiting to practice chaos with Dimitri.
It seems like I started liking it here.
