CHAPTER 1
Enya held up her wooden sword and charged at the the wooden statue in front of her she swung at the wooden statue ducked and slashed at it like fighting a real person she heard a round of claps as I looked back and saw my family clapping I was happy o dropped my wooden sword and threw my hands around them my mom,dad and my younger brother Orpheus I love him so much.
"Let's see if we could make a duet with each other"dad said with a smirk
"So be it"enya said looking as brave enough even though she knew she was no match for her dad who was one of the highest army of brigon empire smith he grabbed a wooden sword and I also took mine I charged for my dad my sword pointed at him he didn't flinch but at the last moment he moved out of the way and used the hilt of the wooden sword to hit my back hard I fell face first into the ground I stood up again and this time my dad charged at the last moment I blocked the blow with my sword and I charged again as I swung my sword for his leg he jumped up and brought his sword down for me I blocked it again with my sword the force sent me backwards but I gained stamina and charged with a loud cry I rained blows on him not wanting to stress him he blocked the slashes with his sword and I found my chance I spun around and knocked the sword out of his hand and I caught it I ran forward and kicked him in the stomach he stumbled backwards unto the sands and I put one leg on his chest with two swords pointed at his neck.
"I surrender"he said breathing hard
"You should"I said with a smirk
"You see now dad you can't win everyday"Orpheus my brother said before bursting into laughter we all laughed also and I went to wash my long pink hair I walked back to my house I smelled the scent of food inside the house and that was when I felt the hunger in me I rushed inside the house and I met all of them eating I also joined as I took a piece of meat and tore it with my teeth and eat it gently I saw a goblet of wine beside he and I drank it joyfully we finished the food and I started a conversation
"Dad,I won you today and don't forget your promise I'll apply as the squire of a knight tomorrow"I said smiling
"Yes,but enya the killings are dangerous competition they can kill you there and you are too young for that"my dad said
"No!!!! I want to go now"I said frowning
"Okay then but you must be careful" dad said
"You she would,but enya I'll miss you when you are gone"Orpheus said raising an eye
"Don't worry I'll come over to see you"I said hugging him
"Okay"he said smiling later at night we eat dinner and I went to sleep after preparing for the next day.
Enya felt a light touch on her skin she sprang up from her bed and saw orpheus jump back frightened.
"I should prepare to go to the palace"Enya said yawning
"I think judging by the sun the time would be around 7 in the morning"Orpheus said
"Okay"Enya replied rubbing her brother's hair
"You have to be fast mum and dad said I shouldn't wake you up,but I wouldn't let all your days off training come to a waste"Orpheus replied
"Thanks I'll repay this"I smiled
"Just get ready"he said and left.
Enya quickly went to the stream near their house and had her bath there she was ready and wore a palla over her stola and carried a bag made of brown leather.
"Dad am going"Enya called out
"Okay,orpheus had gotten the horse ready"Dad said looking disappointed we walked out and enya saw orpheus already on his horse enya also mounted on her horse and evander also mounted on his horse while greta stayed at home waving at us as e galloped away a cloud of dust forming enya had a sword she had to deliver to the knight named kairos we were approaching the castle as we got to the gate my dad stopped and dismounted from his horse he drew a sword from his horse and removed it from its scabbard the sword was a very beautiful one around it was diamonds and all types of crystal enya gasped at the sight then he put it back in its scabbard and placed it gently on my palm enya felt the weight so light like a paper.
"Be careful"evander said and mounted and galloped away
"Hope you will come tomorrow"orpheus said hugging
"No, orpheus"enya replied she saw a look of disappointment in his eyes
"Don't worry I'll come every half Moon"enya said
"Okay"Orpheus said as he mounted and galloped away pulled the reins of my horse as enya walked it to the gate of the palace she entered without any problem because the guards knew she used to come to deliver swords for the army.
Enya went to the merchant and asked him to show her the way to the training ground he did and she ran there leaving her horse with the merchant and went to the training ground.
She saw knights training with each other and enya went to the house for refreshment on the training ground she entered and saw a knight sat there distraught over something.
"Please I am here to see prince kairos" enya said calmly
"I am here"the knight said raising his head she looked into his clear blue eyes and she felt like I
shewas floating in an ocean before I bowed down.
"Just raise your head"He said and raised her head then placed the sword beside him.
"Do you have a squire,sire"enya asked him
"He died in the killings yesterday"kairos said
"Can I be your squire, sire"enya asked then he looked up and smiled
"You have determination lets see what you got"he said and drew his sword and she srew drew hers too
"Nice sword"he exclaimed
"Thanks"enya replied he charged at her at the last moment she swayed out of the way and then they both stood again she charged this time raised her sword high and brought it down for him he blocked it as if it was nothing I continuend slashing which sent sparkles flying as metal met metal she slashed another blow at him but he ducked and swayed to her back and used the hilt of his sword to hit her back she stumbled away as he returned his sword in his scabbard.
"You have some skills but you don't know how to use it"he said
"Am your squire now,sire"enya said breathing hard
"Yes,but be careful of the killings"he said and walked away.
