* Dagur *
* It must have made two easy days, as I came every day to sit near the Docks to observe the ocean. I had heard that my mother would soon be returning from her mission and I wanted to be there to welcome her. I managed to escape the sight of Berenice to come and hang out here. Fryr was by my side and having him against me warmed me. Winter was approaching then, more fur is not so bad. Berenice finally arrived and stared at me sternly *.
-Do not say anything. * I said embarrassed *. Just 15 more minutes, please.
* By this time I saw that quite a few of our soldiers had gathered in the area but the atmosphere was not so happy. The horn sounded and I could finally see the ship on the horizon *.
-Look, look at Fryr, they're here.
* The boat was approaching at high speed but I could not keep still. So as soon as he landed I swiped in the air and landed on the roof of a house *.
- Shitty brat... * Yelled the owner *.
-Sorry sir.
* I finished a voucher again and landed in the driveway and then started running to the boat. But by the adults was faster. The first to set foot on land was Kord. In front of him Lerch who was glaring at him. Suddenly the two burst into tears and were hugging each other *.
-How are you my brother? Happy to see you again. * Said Lerch *. But I thought ... that you died?
* Kord turned to Gladys who was the second to get off. She raised a finger to him followed by a wink *.
-A sort of....
- Let her have a drink to celebrate your return.
* Lerch the twin brother of Kord. One a high-ranking medium warrior and the other a renowned expert. This difference has not dried up relations between them far from there. As they left the boat, these two embarked half of the troop. The next person to go down was Sephora. I threw myself squarely in her arms like a kid *.
-Motheeeer.
* She who had a hard face at the moment could not help smiling when she saw me. She stroked my hair and noticed *.
-What's that all blue hair. And what is this bug?
-Hair I owe it to Dagfinn. And the beast as you say is called Fryr. He's my family.
-A black wolf of this depth. * She said, running her hand through the fur *.
* Fryr walked away suspiciously but I reassured him and he let it go *.
-What purity. But ... Dagur ...
* I put my hands together and begged her *.
-I know I need permission. Please please prevent them from killing him. * I said several times while lowering my head *.
-Let's calm down. No one will hurt him. Fryr is a member of the family now.
* Her answer filled me with great joy and I hugged her again. It was there that I saw Violet get off the ship. I also rushed towards her but I did not hug her *.
-Aunt Violet you ...
- How are you Dagur? You have grown well since the last time.
-V ... Violet? Why do you look so sad?
* Later I learned that Thorn, one of the warriors in the group, was seeing his health deteriorate. Like Philis, who had been beheaded, he may also die soon. I was so used to seeing groups come back in full I didn't think I would see any dead or injured *.
-Thorn won't survive. * She told me *. We're going to have a ceremony so he can die properly.
* Since my mother was the supervisor she should have made the report to the king herself but she instructed Violet to do it since apparently she would have to write the battle report. I think she did this to change her mind. In the evening at the table I told myself that I was going to ask him all kinds of questions about this battle but in the end I said nothing *.
-So. The selection went well?
-There were a few addicts but nothing serious. * Replied Berenice *.
- It was from him that I wasn't asking you.
-So ... Sorry mistress. * She said lowering her head *.
- No need to take it out on her mother, Berenice supported me very well during the trials.
-I hope it did not go beyond the framework of teaching. You have a certain tendency to want to appropriate my slaves.
-Haha I never will do that.
-In the end, what rank did they rank you? You were in the same promotion as the prince, you probably had to face him.
* About 3 weeks earlier it was still the selection. I had finished my turn and my future was already assured. But there was this girl who intrigued me. Despite her tomboy looks, her piercing gaze gave me shivers of excitement *.
-If you are so strong why don't you fight against the prince? * She said *.
* She had set the bar high casually. The whole crowd was then enthusiastic *.
-Beat you...
-Cut you ...
-We want to know ...
* Haaa what annoying. In truth I had done all this cinema but being the strongest for me was not a priority but a necessity. I had plans for the future and the Killicks only follow those they consider stronger. I thought I had done enough by showing them my supremacy by crushing everyone but this girl had just put a thorn in my side. So I turned to Kaleb who had been looking at me with a cold air since the beginning of the test. I don't know if I hurt him but he was really back up *.
-So ? Are you deflating? *She said*
-Hahaha. You got me I confess. But that won't change much for me.
-Well we'll see if you're still having a big mouth after that.
* Kaleb got up from the elite stand and then leapt to the arena where he landed like a feather. We then walked towards each other to the circle. Dagger personally came to referee this fight with the same unhealthy smile that Vincent had *.
-The fight will end when one of you is on the ground. And if you get out of the circle too.
-It's okay with me. *I said*.
-No complaints. * Supported Kaleb *.
-Very well are you ready? START.
* From the start he disappeared from the circle in a flash. Kaleb and I then activate our Efrat and our two aura clash. The shock sent a heavy gust of wind and most adults were speechless *.
-They have such a large amount of Efrat at their age. It's promising. * Said Dagger *.
* Our eyes had turned white as if we had lost consciousness. The coloring of our hair was pure blue and the shock of our aura was enough to split the ground. Kaleb and I were staring at each other, suddenly we each took a step back to distance ourselves before attacking. But we suddenly found ourselves in the wall that we hit at full speed. Our auras disappeared and we became almost normal again *.
-He ... What just happened there? * Asked I spectactor *.
* I got up with difficulty I saw that Kaleb had knocl too. We wanted to move back to distance ourselves but in the end we barely control our forces *.
-Holy cow? * Dagfinn said in shock *.
-Since we are both out of bounds, it means a draw. * I say with a smile *.
-Objection. * Kaleb said, raising his hand *. He hit the wall first so technically I won.
-What ... What? It just means that I am faster and in these conditions I will have beaten you.
-Come on assume your lost. * He said with a mean smile *.
-You piece of...
* The discussion turned to bickering and Dagger separated us a little blasé and realized through our little quarrels that in the end Killick or not, we were still kids *.
-Good ... We're going to say a draw. * He said a little disappointed *. Having said that, I am in no rush to see this fight, I know it will take place.
* After that Kaleb and I go to the infirmary because casually we had broken a lot of stuff by hitting the walls. The nurse gave us some bandages and gave us a kiss before leaving. I admit I blushed and so did Kaleb *.
- No matter how strong we are, we won't be able to heal anytime soon. I pity the guys I kicked now. *I said*.
-It's a bit late to think about them, no.
-By the way .... Why don't you stop staring at me strangely from the start? * I asked *.
-What ... What?
-Stop pretending.
-Well ... you're going to laugh at least don't laugh ... I just wanted to be your friend. But I didn't know how to go about it. I grew up in the castle you know so I have a rather introverted personality.
-And you try to befriend someone by giving them black looks.
* I imitated him to make fun of him and he covered his embarrassed face *.
-Stop asshole ...
-Nah but if you want to make friends go talk to them. * I say, taking his hand *. If you wanted I would be your friend or even more.
* We received a visit from Dagfinn, Enrik and the young boy who seemed strangely close to Vincent. Seeing me hold Kaleb's hand, Dagfinn stared at me in disgust *.
-I knew you were a deviant but now you're going overboard.
-He ... But ... But ...
-Be a friend or more than that he said? * Said Enrik mockingly *.
-Bands of retarded. * i howled *.
* I withdrew my hand immediately and threw them a vase which they dodged *.
-Haha don't get upset, we just came by to say hi. * Said Enrik *.
* It was then that Kaleb got off his bed and bowed to the blond. Not Dagfinn but the other *.
-Your majesty ... * He said *.
-Your Majesty ? Who is that majesty?
* If he the Prince of the Killicks bow to a person then that only means one thing. Instinctively we bowed every 4 *.
-I .. I .. But get up, it's embarrassing.
* We got up and we could see that the blond was not comfortable with the ceremonies *.
-My name is Emory Xenophon from Adrun. I am the 3rd prince of the kingdom but call me Emory.
* Prince Emory eh. Wait a minute, he looks exactly like a guy I know *.
- You don't have a brother by chance? One that looks like you I mean.
-Yeah Yeah ... Emvis.
* I turned around, gritting my teeth feeling a little pity for him. His brother and my mom used to do unhealthy things in their bedroom at night and I have to admit I keep traumas from it. She pegg him every time she feel excited. I put my hand on his shoulder in compassion since he didn't know*.
-Courage. * I say, raising my thumb *.
-Otherwise Majesty ... * Said Enrik *. I mean Emory, why come this far to see the selection?
- Can I be honest with you?
* We nodded in approval. He came so close that he formed a circle with us *.
-My days are in danger. * He announced in a deep voice *. I have no support at the palace and I risk being murdered at any time.
- So you want to make friends. * I say smiling *.
-I will be frank I do not count you forcing or forcing yourself with the seal, if I ask for help from you young people of the future generation it is because we are about the same age and I think you would understand me. Sorry to say that but I'm only acting in my own best interests and my own survival.
* He had the merit of being honest the guy *.
-How ? * Says Dagfinn *.
-Hey?
-How much are you going to pay us? * Did he repeat *.
-But ... I ... I ...
-We are Killicks, not nannies, we do not work for free. If you want our protection, you'll have to pay the price.
-He is right. *I said*. If you have nothing to offer us in return you can already forget our help.
-Hey be careful this is the prince of Adrun. * Said Kaleb frightened *.
-One more reason. Otherwise your offer will be worth nothing. * Says Dagfinn *.
-I understand. * He said lowering his head *. I'm sorry to have bothered you.
* He was getting ready to leave but Enrik added *.
-What we want is not a partnership based on money. We are still just kids, contracts will come and go.
-If you want us to help you for free, you will have to ask us as a friend. * Tell him Dagfin *. Not as Prince in danger of death.
* He looked at us and I felt he was on the verge of tears. Dagfinn hugged him and patted him on the back *.
-You came to make friends, no. * Said he smiling *. So let's be friends.
* He wiped away his tears as each of us shook his hand *.
-Thanks guys. From the bottom of the heart.
-Who are the next fights? * I asked *.
-Sheehan and Mathias. * Replied Dagfinn *.
-Well ... Emory is that it? If we were going to see the rest of the show. * I proposed to him *.
-O ... Yes. * He said smiling *.
