Summary: Chip has to learn a new weapon…if it doesn't kill him first.
Disclaimer: don't own them.
My brothers are evil. They think that it is funny. I don't know who thought that it would be a good idea to learn a different weapon. I am going to end up chopping my fingers or worse…kill myself. Men…wait until staff practice…then I will be laughing.-Unknown
"I got to learn what?" Chip said.
"Another weapon…knights has a specialty in more than one," Daggeron said as he waved his hand over the weapons. He stared at them in curiosity. Some of them looked so cool…others looked kind of…how in the world do some of those things work? Where do they put them? They can't be comfortable.
"Chip?"
"Oh…just thinking."
He frowned for a moment. Did he already have another weapon…will three? Because crossbow, recurve bow and that little sword weapon thing would be three. He knew that knights knew multiple weapons. But just staring at all of these weapons…it gave him insight.
"Chip?"
"Sorry. What do I have to choose from?"
"Any of them."
He watched Daggeron wave his hand toward the weapons. There were much of them. Swords of all types…he could have sworn there was a mace in there. He picked up something look like a whip.
"The bullwhip…very dangerous in close quarters."
"Never against those people…but it kind of remained me of a bull rider."
Daggeron laughed.
He picked up a broadsword next. He tested the weight for a moment then set it down.
"Is something wrong?"
"Swords are awesome but I already have a sword. And this one? It is so heavy."
"There are smaller broadswords."
"Nothing wrong with the classics. It is just that I want to learn something new."
He moved away from the swords and picked up strange looking little pair of sickle type weapons.
"Those are kamas. Honestly, I can say that I have very little training with them. One of my brothers had more training than I."
"They are kind of cool looking. I have been reading about that. How many knights were there in your order?"
"20 or so before the war. We lost many of our brothers and sisters during the war."
He turned his attention away from Daggeron and look at the various weapons.
"Did all of these weapons belong to the others?"
"Some did…some were found on travels. Some in the order believed that someday another knight may pick up the weapon." Daggeron said with a thoughtful expression on his face.
He nodded his head as his hand moved from weapon to weapon. There were all of the Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtle's weapons…and Ronin Warriors too.
If he was going to choose another weapon, he was going to be smart about it. Even if there was a part of him wanted to check out all of the weapons. He turned his attention back to the kamas. He picked them up and turned to Daggeron.
"I want to learn these."
Daggeron grinned slightly.
"Why?"
"Because I can use both hands. I am an archer. First and foremore…having a hand doing nothing would be odd for one. It is light enough weapon that wouldn't throw off my balance. And…I thought that they were cool."
Daggeron nodded his head.
"Good answer."
A flick of pride rushed through his body.
"Now…lets begin."
