"Load up his body on a horse" commanded Rohleem. Everyone stood still for a bit until one of the other two got his body. The journey back was silent.
Finally, we arrived back to the headquarters. Rohleem carried his body into the office and we followed. "Congratulations, who killed him?" asked the office woman.
"I did". She noted something down and waved us away. I walked back to my room and looked out. I noticed, the view was nice. There were a lot of trees and birds, it was relaxing. I got redressed into more normal clothes and went out for the first time in a while. The floor of the streets looked smooth. The breeze was relaxing. It was wonderful. I stopped by at a shop. "2 apples please" I said reaching into my money sack.
"That'll be 20 Fran" said the shopkeeper as he put the apples in a bag. I handed him the money and walked off. The apples tasted better than the apples back home and better than the food at the headquarters.
The sun began to set and so I went back to the headquarters to do my night training. The training room was usually much emptier so I could use everything. As I entered, the man with the long nose returned. "How's it been, I heard you've killed someone" he said grinning. His hair was now much longer and he had a stubble and much more grey hairs.
"Yes, I did, I'm much stronger now, I'm strong enough to kill someone now" I said with pride.
"Spar with me then" he said grinning. I nodded we got a wooden sword then went to the ring. "It's until someone is knocked out by the way or if you beg I'll let yer ass off" he said raising his guard.
"Start" I said stepping closer to him. Suddenly, with great speed he swang at my head. I barely blocked it and backed away. He began nearing me again so I prepared to block again but he simply backed away. I was relieved but I was still in the storm. I crept close to him and swang at his head. It was swift and powerful, the best slash I'd done, even with a wooden sword it could kill him. However, he simply stepped back. Again, he lunged forwards towards me and slashed my arm. I felt as though I was about to scream but I held it in and slashed back at his head. In fear of his strikes, I began recklessly pressing forwards. He blocked all of my swings and rested his leg on my thigh. I tried to slash at it but missed. I was fucked. I closed my eyes and braced for impact but saw nothing. My eyes rolled back and my mind went black.
I reawoke in the ring with the man standing above me. "Kid, you've still got a long way, learn to control yourself" he said as he walked off. I laid there for a while, a very long time. Why is the world like this
