I must now apologize to anybody who liked my first 2 chapters and I'll add thank you for that as well. But I had a crazy 4 months of things I never want to happen again. Thankfully I can now put at least some time to writing this story again, as it's fun and I change about 5-10 things every time I start writing so it never ends the way I planned it to be. This isn't as long as the 2nd chapter but I at least wanted to get this out and to let you know I'm not dead and I will continue this story to whatever end their is gonna be. Thanks for reading this and enjoy.

Andrew woke up early the next day and found Lavitz' mother in the kitchen making breakfast. "Do you need any help?" he asked. She smiled and said, "No no, your guest here. Now sit down it's almost done." As Andrew sat down Lavitz walked in and greeted them both. "Andrew I have some things to do up at the castle but you should enjoy yourself and see the city today. I'll send someone for you when your armor is done, or you can just come to the castle later this afternoon." They ate breakfast and Lavitz left, Andrew helped with the dishes and headed out to explore the city.
Wow this place is amazing. Maybe one day I'll have the chance to bring Shana here, she would enjoy this. While walking past one of the many stands set up he noticed a necklace. It had a small gold chain and a stone as white as snow and seemed to sparkle lightly even when not in the sunlight. Shana would love this. He quickly grabbed some gald and paid for it. Andrew smiled to himself, I can't wait till I get back to Seles, Shana will be so surprised when I give her this. As the sun started to drift out of sight, Andrew made his way to the castle.
"Ah Andrew I have orders from Sir Lavitz to show you to the King. Your armor is complete and he wishes to speak with you before you leave," said the guard at the castle entrance. Andrew followed another guard inside and saw the King and Lavitz waiting for him. "Andrew welcome back your armor is now complete and I will have an attendant bring it in and help you equip it.," the King said.
As the attendants brought it in and helped Andrew into it, everyone admired how incredible it looked. Once he was finally equipped he noticed how light it felt on him, and standing in front of a mirror he saw just like his sword it shined in the light and was a dark black color. The color though seemed to have black but a swirl of many other colors, but it was impossible to tell what they were or how many of them their were.
He grabbed the helm and slipped it on his head. It covered his entire head except for most of his face, which made it easier for him to see around him. With everything equipped he barely felt any weight and was able to move almost as if he wasn't wearing any armor at all. "Most impressive Andrew you have great skills and now you have armor. You are truly a warrior now," the King complimented. "Thank you your Majesty, but you flatter me. My skills are not as great as you say, at the very least not now," Andrew said with a hint of red on his cheeks.
"My my, I'm quite excited for another match with you now Andrew," Lavitz laughed,"Although I'm also a bit nervous with armor such as that I'll have my hands full." Andrew gave him a nervous smile," Ha ha well I don't know about that, but I'm looking forward to it. Excuse me your Majesty but if it is alright with you I will take my leave now. I have a long journey to Tiberoa and would like to start out as soon as possible." The King nodded,"Of course I will have some things gathered to help you on your way."
Lavitz walked to Andrew and held out his hand,"May your journey be safe and you become stronger. One day we'll have the chance to spar again." Andrew shook his hand and grinned,"You be safe as well my friend." An attendant handed him a bag filled with food, gald, and medicine. "Thank you for your hospitality your Majesty. Farewell," Andrew said as he walked from the room and out of the castle. The King turned to Lavitz,"Now my friend, we have reports of Sandora getting prepared for an attack against Bale. I need you to prepare the First Knighthood and go to the border to stop them."
"Your Majesty what about the truce?" Lavitz asked. "It seems Emperor Doel is no longer going to uphold it. There are rumors that Sandora has acquired a Dragon but he must not be allowed to take control of this kingdom no matter what." "I would sooner sacrifice my life than let such a thing happen. You can count on me as always your Majesty," Lavitz bowed and left quickly to prepare his men. May you stay safe my friend. The King thought and turned to look out the window towards the city.
Andrew made his way west past the mountains and then headed north through a pass and into the land of Tiberoa. He was only a days journey away from the capital city Fletz when a storm hit and was forced to seek shelter in a cave in the mountain. As he waited for the storm to pass he thought back to the day he woke in the woods outside Seles and tried for the hundredth time to remember before that. Suddenly his head felt like it was going to split in two and then saw a flash of light in his head. It felt like he was able to remember something but all he could see was a bright flash of light. And....and....he could hear something what was it......a scream......but who was screaming.....Andrew could feel it shaking right down to his bones......it was him.
As the image and sound faded from his mind he became aware he wasn't alone. While Andrew had been lost in his only memory he'd been able to recall in a year and a half a mysterious figure had come into the cave. The figure watched him carefully pulled out a rapier and asked, "Who are you?" "I am Andrew from Seles, who are you?" He could tell it was a woman from the voice but could feel a strange power radiate from her. "My name is none of your concern. What is this power I can sense from you?" Power? What was she talking about? I don't understand. What power could I possibly have... The figure jumped at him, in a flash Andrew grabbed his sword and blocked his attacker. "I can sense it now tell me what it is! How can you possibly have something like that?!?!"
What is she screaming about! Then Andrew suddenly felt a warmth come from his sword and saw that orb he had place there shine with an almost blinding light. It wrapped itself around his attacker and held her in mid-air. "Release me!"she screamed. But he couldn't understand what was going on. The figure was wrapped in the strange light from the orb, and as Andrew watched helplessly she struggled fiercely against the light. Then their was a dark light that seemed to come from the woman and surrounded her within the light. Andrew couldn't tell what was going on and as quickly as the dark light came, the light from his orb flashed brightly once and all of it woman light and all disappeared.
What was all that about!!! Andrew thought and realized he felt so exhausted and suddenly everything went black.
