I finally was able to hit the target in the center while it was moving. "Great job Yuko. keep up this and you will be a great guard in no-time." the captain guard said. I was just happy that I finally hit the stupid thing. "Ok, now that you have mastered the bow you need to move on to your next option. Let's go and get you a sword." I was excited because we would be allowed to keep our swords. There was a room full of different swords and they all had a spell on them so that only the owner could use the sword. I looked around for one that was my style. I went for double blade swords because it looked cool and was the best style for me. When I walked out of the room the guard walked me over to the practice dummy.

"Now imagine the sword is just an extension of your arm and hit the dummy." The guard was trying to teach me but he wasn't the best at explaining. I was making the right moves but I would miss sometimes. But I would learn from those mistakes. "Ok training is over!" The training would always end at sunset. We were walking home when one of the guards stopped me and said that the Lord would like to see me. I frowned and sent my brother and sister on their way home. "Ok, why does he want to see me all of a sudden?" I was curious because the lord was secretive. "I don't know I was just sent to collect you." He was going to be hard to get an answer from. We ended up just walking in silence. We reached the Lord's house and the guard stopped me. "Ok wait out here and I will tell him that you are waiting." I was really curious now. "Ok." wonder why the Lord wanted to see me? The door opened and the guard walked out. "Ok, you can go in now." I walked inside to see the Lord sitting on the couch. "Come and sit down with me." I politely sat down on the couch. "You wanted to talk to me?" He looked at me. "Yes, I need to talk to you about the future." I looked at him shocked. "Why would we need to talk about the future?" "Because I have been having problems with the neighboring villages. I want you to be safe along with everyone in the village. But I need someone who can talk to people and get them to listen." I looked at him. "But why am I the person you chose to do this?"
