Legacy of Judah Gremory

Weapons of a wizard

After we killed the last infected wolves in this forest, Fiona told me to search for the horses and to prepare them for our leaving. I started to run to those horses because it was almost night. That hunting took us way too much more time than we thought.

After a few minutes of running, I found the horses in the same place I put them. I took the horse of Fiona, and then mine. I took the two halter horses and guided them to the place where Fiona was waiting for me. It took me a few minutes to walk with those two obedient horses until I reached Fiona, who was sitting on a boulder waiting for me like a modern-day drug dealer.

Fiona got up from that boulder, took the bridle of her horse and climbed on it, then galloped it. When she started walking, I had to follow her because we hadn't finished our mission today, we just had to report the mission to the King. Why do we have to report to the king and not to the other royal staff? It's because the king gave us this mission. If it was another person who was in the royal family, then we would report to her.

We left the forest in approximately thirty minutes and we arrived at the palace in another thirty minutes because we stopped to buy something from the market zone for dinner. When we arrived at the Royal Palace, Fiona told me to go and hand the horses to the stable. I accepted the assignment, took the two horses, and guided them to the stable where they live.

When I arrived there and put the horses in their place, someone left the stable. That person saw me, and started to ask:

"New here?"

"Yeap," I responded after I closed the gate of those two horses.

"So you are the guy who is squire to Fiona?"

I looked at that guy who is probably the same age as Fiona. The guy is in shining armor, with two swords in a golden sheath. The guy doesn't have hair, but he has a strong brown mustache that matches his black eyes.

"Yes," I responded to that guy after I analyzed his appearance a bit.

"Good. Now between us. If you see Fiona..."

That guy came closer to me and whispered to my ears.

"Tell her to come to that place."

"What place?" I asked him.

"King orders, squire. Just go tell her and that's all."

"Okay. I will."

"Thank you, my friend."

That weird guy decided to leave by telling me his name. What does he mean by telling Fiona to come to that place? Is it a new king order or something? No... It probably can't be, because Fiona is already at the King's reporting the mission, the King. They would have told her to go to that place. Whatever that guy was saying, do I have to tell Fiona about that? Maybe he knew that guy. I decided to go to the stairs of this palace and decide to wait for her when she arrived.

When Fiona left the palace, after a few minutes, she stayed there to complete some important things or report to the king. Fiona came to me and handed me a little bag. While I grabbed the bag, I said to her:

"A weird guy came here to find you?"

"A weird guy?" asked Fiona. "What is his name?"

"He didn't tell me his name," I responded to Fiona, who started to look like a cop in modern days looking at a liar.

"So... How does it look?"

"Well... He wears a white mask, bronze armor, and carries a spear."

Fiona looked at me with curiosity and asked me directly.

"What does he want?"

"Huh?" I responded. "H-He just wanted you to come to that place."

"I see," she responded Fiona. "Then, today I am going to be late for dinner. Told my sister I would be late for her spaghetti."

Then, Fiona leaves me and goes running, carrying her huge sword on her back to the royal gate, and there she climbs into a carriage and tells that rider to take it somewhere. I was still on the stairs of that palace, but with a pretty good view, I could see that Fiona was hurrying to guide the rider where to take her. Fiona climbs into that carriage, and the rider leaves that place as if he were in a cart race that is organized from time to time in the forest if I am to remember what I read on the parchments with the royal news that is handed every day to all the citizens of this kingdom.

Then, I decided to get up those stairs and go to the house where I live from now on. To get there I had to have two options, one of them was to walk, and the other was to do the procedure as Fiona did, to take a carriage. But, I decided to walk, even if the distance to the house is longer than the weight of the wolves I killed today in the forest.

After a few minutes of walking through the great kingdom, I came across a kind of building with a magic wand and a crystal ball as an indicator. I look very closely at the window of that building and notice a lot of books placed in libraries, a whole display case of magic wands, possibly workable, and some crystal globes. After looking at those objects, I look at the bag of coins I received from Fiona, open it, and notice that there are at least five gold and twenty silver coins. Maybe enough to buy a second-hand wand or a small spell card. I entered that building and noticed at the cashiers an old lady with blemishes on her face and dressed like a citizen who has no house but has the streets like a house (a hobo if you want a modern example).

"Good evening, you man!" said the old lady to me when I entered her building. "What said your said desire to buy ?"

"I wanted to buy something that I could afford with five golds."

"Oh... I see," she responded to the old lady, feeling disappointed. "Well, I just have a little book of spells for beginners. Some of them could work with a wand or staff. I could sell you four gold coins and a wand with ten silver coins."

"I see," I responded, taking from that little bag four gold coins and ten silver coins and handing them to the cashier.

"Good," she said, the cashier going to take the book of spells and the wand from some bookshelf and cases.

After she arrived with those things, she handed them to me and told me "Good luck in your adventures, you little adventurer.". I thanked her and left that building, then headed to my home to go eat dinner. Maybe when I arrive at home I could try some spells from this book. But the first thing I do when I arrive home will be to eat some spaghetti, whatever that meal is or how tasty it is, because I have never heard of a portion of food with a weird name like that in my entire life.
