It was a cold night. James stood by the window gazing. "Why?" He spoke aloud. "Did you have to die? It was going perfectly..." He turned around to see his empty room. He looked around his room. In the corner of his room, he saw the picture of his father Lucas. James approached the picture, a slight tingle went up his spine. He knelt at the picture and spoke, "Father, to leave at a time like this... Have you lost all your honor?" The door creaked open. James pulled out a short sword and held it with a steady hand. A woman peered inside and looked at the sword in front of her face. She yelped and closed the door behind her. James sheathed his sword and opened the door to see Jill, his maid. "Hello Jill, you wanted something?" He asked.
"Yes sir." Jill said as she blushed. "The general of the Celica Grim brigade came by, he wanted to know if you were still helping with training the new recruits. After you know the accident."
"Jill, I am fine. Ready my horse I shall go there immediately." He went back into his room and grabbed his black chest plate with the crest of his family and put it on firmly. He grabbed his long sword and tied it to his back and decided to grab his dagger just in case. He exited his room to see the pictures surrounding him. He always found this hall disturbing because he felt like his ancestors were watching every action he did. He walked downstairs to see Jill waiting with his helmet. She held it up to him and he put it on. Jill led him outside to his horse, Gallivant. He mounted Gallivant and looked down at Jill. She smiled and said, “Don’t get to hurt or I’ll have to do some horrible patch work” He laughed and rode off. He felt good riding Gallivant. He never felt bad riding him, unless it was to war. He arrived at the training camp and was greeted by Kaine, the Celica Grim general. He was a plump knight but a strong one at that. He defeated an orc with 5 blows.
“Greetings young James!” Kaine bellowed. “I see you forget about the past day and come prepared and fit for the next.”
“Hello Kaine, I have come to test these recruits that you have let into the brigade”
“Ah yes” Kaine turned around and yelled at a horrible tone. "Recruits! Get your asses over here or i'll have ye skinned with a hunter's knife!" James had to smile at this. Kaine's threats were infact always the funniest.
3 men had run up, facing them, they sat. One trainee was built like a toothpick, beside him was a spear. He wore a winged helmet with the Imperial sign on it. He wore a simple silver breastplate. Another trainee was more pudgy then Toothpick, beside him was a mace. He wore no helmet, so that his short brown hair showed. His armor was a brownish leather tunic. The third was nothing like the other two. He was calm. The other two were nervous like when a pig know he will be slaughtered. He carried two swords, one at his side and one on his back. He also wore no helmet, his long black hair was let loose. He wore a black breastplate trimmed with a dark crimson colour. When he looked up his blue eyes seemed to look right through James. He shuddered and returned his gaze to Kaine. Kaine finally spoke, "Alright! You will be fighting Gullin first." He then turned to the trainees and shouted at Toothpick "Alright get up you lazy scum." Gullin jumped up and grabbed his spear. He got into a low stance with the spear facing towards him. James drew his short sword and stood in a lazy stance. Kaine shouted begin and Gullin jabbed his spear foward. James stood aside and blocked it with his sword. He pulled out his dagger and rushed to Gullin's throat. He could feel Gullin freeze up. Kaine stopped the duel and claimed James the victor. He approached Gullin and said,
"You will be set in many positions like that one. You must always expect the unexpected."
"Thank you Master James, you have been a real help", Gullin replied. Kaine came up behind them and had grabbed James and placed him back where he was before. Facing him was Bruce, the pudgy mace wielder. He held the mace a bit confidently but he knew that he was stricken with fright.
