It has been a long time since Bell and I fell down that strange hole. I started to space out for a second...two seconds. I was snapped out of my trance by a voice, "Hey, Nova!" It was Elora Lufir. She sounded exhausted, like she just ran a marathon, exhausted.  "Hey 'Lora," I replied, "what's up?" "I know that you wanted to go to the training grounds ever since last year," She said, in between deep breaths, "and now you can if you sign this sheet of paper." I was frozen with excitement. "I - I don't know what to say. Thank you." 

     When I entered the training grounds it scared me. Swords and bows lined the walls, spinning discs had arrowheads and cuts in it stuck out of the ground. When I asked Elora where to go, she answered, "First off, you have to find a buddy to spar with, and When you finish, you can buy snacks and drinks in the door that opens afterwards," she pointed to a wood - like door, "after that, you have a certain level. The arena somehow knows what level you are, there is no limit to what level you can go up to, not yet anyways." After that lecture, she was gone. Welp I thought Time to get a - searchin' .
