Epic new story. Coming to a Scryon near you.
Prologue
Arnix flipped the small dagger around in his hand. He tossed it in the air, making it spin rapidly. He caught it by the tip of the blade with masterful skill. He slipped it into his sheath and laid back in the chair.
"Y'know, Halia, I really think I'll make it into the army"
Halia giggled. She turned around and tossed another block of wood into the steaming fire. "If your lucky"
"Hey, I've been practicing for weeks. My skill with a sword is almost as good as most Elite Soldiers"
Halia grabbed a sword from the wall. "I doubt that"
Arnix quickly pulled out his dagger and jumped up onto his feet. He pointed his dagger at Halia and glared at her through his sharp, dark green eyes.
Halia flipped the sword in her hand and looked at Arnix. "You have a measly dagger. I wield a blade"
Arnix grinned. "I'll take you on anyway"
Arnix leaped at her and swung his dagger. Halia parried and jumped backwards.
"Don't get serious with this. I don't want any daggers in my arm"
"Ah, but I was hoping to plant the dagger in your leg, not your arm"
"You are very funny"
"I know"
Halia spun around with her arm stretched out, sword slashing at Arnix. Arnix lifted his dagger and the blades clashed. A loud clang echoed through the empty hallways.
"Not too bad" Arnix chuckled.
"Oh, I'm just getting started. Dirty swordplays my game"
"Dirty swordplay is for pathetic soldiers"
"You don't think that nice tripping manuever you performed yesterday was dirty?"
"Hmm...touche"
Hydia ducked as Arnix swung his dagger. Arnix expected this, as he leaped over Halia, kicking back forcefully with his right leg. His attack was successful, knocking Halia to the ground.
"I suppose that's enough. Don't want to hurt a girl"
Halia stood up. "You couldn't hurt me if you tried"
Suddenly, without warning, a loud horn blew into the ears of the two teenagers. They plugged their ears. It was a very loud sound.
"Isn't that the war call?" shrieked Halia.
"Yeah. They sound that whenever the castle is under attack"
Arnix glanced at Halia. "Do you think--?"
Halia put her finger to his mouth. "Come on."
The Seige
