Chapter 3: Training

 

An hour later the swordsman came back to E’s room and said “It’s time for training young, E.”, and guided E to the training room. When E arrived with the swordsman his scythe turned blunt. “Why did it turned blunt?” said E. “Thats one thing the grim reaper’s scythe did whenever he trained,” replied the swordsman. E looked around and saw several big weapon racks, a few armor bin, and five fighting mats which had two people fighting on it. when he looked up he saw a knight walking towards him, E figured he was the captain. “Hello I’m the captain of the training room, I’m guessing your a new person at this castle, so lets cover the basics, after the two knights are done fighting you will grab a pair of armor and we’ll match you up with a fighting partner you got that?... and I see you already got a weapon” said the captain. Then he lead E to one of the big armor bins to see which pieces of armor fits him. After E put his armor on the precious match was over.

 Then the fighting captain matched E with an a fighter that was also starting out.   “ OK get into the fighting stance that your comfortable in and let the match start,” said the fighting captain. when the match began the opponent charged at E, but dodged by an inch, next the fighter did a mighty swing with his blunt sword and E blocked it with his scythe and pulled it forward. Then the opponent did a quick slash with his blunt sword and hit E which he fell back. E then quickly got up and blocked another swing. He then slashed his scythe at his opponent. but missed. The other fighter then did a jumping attack that stunned E. Before E got a chance to think the other fighter then charged and did a powerful hard tackle which knocked E onto the floor quickly. Then before anything else happened E slashed his scythe at his opponent and then did a quick strike to the back. After the other fighter recovered he dodged one of E’s attacks and slashed once, twice, and a third time and E fell to the ground. His opponent the helped him up. “Good game” said E’s opponent shaking his hand. “ You did pretty good for a beginner” said the fighting captain who was close by. “Next time you’ll win for sure. You just got to train hard and focus on your opponent When E left the arena his stomach grumbled so E quickly started to go to his room. 

 

Chapter 4:  Dinnertime  

 

When E got back to his room his servant greeted him and opened the door and his servant said, “What are you going to eat for dinner master, E?” “I don’t know you can bring me different foods for me to try,” said E playing one of his board-games. “I won’t take long master, E,” said his servant getting out of the room. Will it be like this 3 meals a day every day? Thought E. When E’s servant got back he had something that was it had lettuce with tomatoes, black olives, sprinkled white bits, and a white sticky liquid like substance. “What is that?” said E staring at it. “That is what we call salad sir, I think you would like it. The sprinkled bits are cheese and the white substance is dressing to make it taste better,” said E’s servant handing him a rather small fork. E stabbed his fork in his salad put it in his mouth and started chewing slowly. Then, a smile appeared on his face “This is delicious!” said E stabbing his fork in more salad. Then E’s servant said, “Master ,E If you keep eating more of that salad  you’ll spoil your dinner, I’l get something else for you to eat.” 

When E’s servant returned for the second time E had ate all the salad on his plate. “Master, E you spoiled your dinner! Oh well I’ll still give you your real dinner,” said E’s servant. Then E’s servant continued,“Master ,E I brought you soup, try it it has noodles and chicken broth.” E picked up the spoon and sipped the soup. “This tastes good to!” exclaimed E. “Eat up master, E I’ll be back with desert,” said E’s servant. “Dessert? Whats dessert?” said E. “Dessert is the last course after dinner. It is usually served as sweet things like cake, ice cream brownies, etc,” replied E’s servant “Wait before you leave I want to know your name,” said E. “If you must it’s Vincent, sir,” said E’s servant.

 

When E finished the soup Vincent was back with chocolate cake. “I brought some milk to wash the cake down,” said Vincent. When E finished the cake he thanked Vincent for the dinner and E went to sleep.

 

E had a weird dream as he slept. It began with him in a cold dark room. He was alone looking for an exit to escape. Then a long woman with caramel hair. E didn’t see her face, but he felt like he knew her. The woman then noticed E in the room and started running. A door then appeared and she went through the door. E then started to sprint for the door and caught it before it disappeared. She then started running down a long path that seemed like it went on forever. Eventually E chased the woman to a house. The woman then disappeared and the door opened to reveal an old woman. It was E’s grandmother. E then yelled to his grandmother, but she just said “Shh, you’ll wake the baby up. You can see him inside if you want to,” E then stepped inside the house and saw in a small wooden crib a baby. The baby looked a lot like E in may ways. “My daughter dropped him off a few minutes ago,” said Lucille. “I’m taking care of him for the next six years.” The scene shifted again, it was now the same place, but earlier that night. The woman E saw earlier was there. She had something in her arms... it was a baby the same baby that looked like E. E then saw the mysterious woman run out of the house and towards a castle. When E looked at the baby again he saw that the baby looked at the woman. Lucille probably couldn’t hear it, but the baby whispered one single word. Even though he was standing a distance away from the house E still could hear the baby as it spoke the word ‘momma’. E then saw that the baby shedded a single tear as the door closed. Suddenly a man appeared, E didn’t really see the mans body all he could see was his long black cloak and two glowing red eyes. “I see you are having a strange dream, E,” said the hooded figure. “How do you know my name?” asked E. “We are connected young, E in many ways. Before I died I saw a flash of a person. That person was you E, grown up facing many dangerous enemies.” “In the afterlife I began to search for you see how I was connected to you but I could not find anything. That was because you did not exist at the time. I had to wait many years for you to come, but I was patient and waited.” “Then when you were finnaly born I tracked you down which took six more years, six long painful years. Now I finnaly found at last, but your dream is almost over. In your next dream although I will be there.” Then, everything started to fade away. E was waking up, this was the one time he didn’t want to wake up. “What should I call  you?” said E. “Just call me Grim,” said the hooded figure. E then awoke with a jump. He wanted to stay in their, but he also wanted to know what the swordsman had planned for E. He then remembered the baby how it said momma. He then realized that was the baby’s first word.
