Chapter 3: The test and sarah's arrival.

Please review.
Lacy's POV:
Today is the day. The day I prove my worthiness to the demon. I get up and do my morning ritual of training. Then I head to where my test is being held with my suit on.
I bow to one knee as I arrive in front of him.
"Wow!" He says looking at my attire. "How much can one person change in a year. A year to the day you arrived here. Do you remember what I told my daughter and you."
"Yes sir," I say. "You said Nyssa had one year to turn me into a warrior. I had to prove myself to you after a year other I would go."
He nods. "Are you ready to prove yourself?"
I do not hesitate. "I am. I am ready to prove myself and take my place."
He motions for all of his warriors to come forwards and they surround me.
"If you want to prove yourself and be inducted into the league then you must defeat if not all then a large portion of my warriors," he says. "When the symbol goes you fight."
I turn and drop into fighting stance.
The symbol goes off and one runs towards me. I pull out my sword and block his. I speed around him and kick him to the ground before knocking him out. I flip backwards away from two more who tried to hit me. I strike one and throw the other too the ground.
One after one I defeat the warriors until finally they are all down. They all groan as they get to their feet to fight again but at that moment the symbol goes off again indicating that the battle is over. I stand straight and turn to kneel in front of the demon.
"A ten year old in body," he says walking towards us. "But a warrior in mind and spirit. One question. Where did the speed come from?"
I raise my hands where the cheetah bands sit. He looks them over.
"These are a great piece of technology Alfahad," he says to me. "Alfahad means cheetah in Arabic. You have the speed, the suit and the cunning. Your league name is Alfahad."
I nod liking my new name.
After he left I turned to Nyssa and she smiled.
"Well done," she says to me and I turn off my bracelets so we can walk properly a we head out of the door. "I couldn't even defeat all of them my first test."
"Well you just didn't have the speed," I smirk and for the first time I see a slight smile on her face. "So... training tomorrow?"
She nods and we head out of the room. She goes one way and I head the other so I can take a shower and have my first real rest since last year.
For the next year Nyssa and I had fun training more. But I want to go on missions and every time I bring it up Rhaz says the same thing again and again.
"The world we deal in is no place for an eleven year old," he reminds me. "Wait until your older."
But today he was allowing me to go on a fact finding mission. Apparently someone had washed up not far from Nanda Parbat and he wanted Nyssa and I to find him or her. As Rhaz says if there anything like me then they could be of great use to us.
So Nyssa and I suit up and head out. We travel by boat to the area and get our bows out ready for anything.
We reach the area where she is supposed to be but we do not see anyone. Then we hear a twig snap behind us.
"Help," a familiar but rough voice says. "Help me..."
I turn and gasp as I see Sara Lance. She's alive!
Both Nyssa and I run over to her and she falls to the ground. I see that she is hurt.
"Sara," I say trying to keep her awake. "You need to stay awake... Nyssa. We need to get her some help... she has a few broken bones and she has possible Hypothermia."
I had taken some medical training just in case.
Nyssa takes one of her arms and motions for me to support her from the other side which I do. We support her into the boat and then I try to bandage her wounds with what little supplies we have why Nyssa rows.
When we get back I take Sara back to my room why Nyssa goes to talk to her father.
A few hours later I wake to see Sara stirring. She gasps and calls out.
"OLLIE!" She cries before looking at me as I still have my hood on. "Who are you?"
I wonder whether its a good idea to reveal my identity but then the door opens and Nyssa enters.
"Hello," she says to Sara. "I'm Nyssa, my friend and I found you. My father wants to speak to you."
Sara looks like she wants to protest. But Nyssa is adamant so Sara follows probably out of curiosity. I follow behind and Nyssa glances at me.
"Another woman," Rhaz says as we enter. "Found in not much better conditions then your first. Do I assume you will be training her as well?"
I glance at Nyssa and nod at her.
"Yes," she says to her father. "Alfahad will help me."
"WAIT!" Sara practically yells. "I owe you for saving me but what if I do not want to join the league?"
"Maybe an old friend can change your mind," he says and he turns to me.
I nod and remove my hood. Sara looks confused before recognition hits her. "Lacy... you're alive."
"Hello Sara," I say to her. "Its good to see you again."

I am happy with the way this story is going. Does anyone have any ideas for the rest of their time in Nanda Parbat. If you do please review.
