"Armour!" Paz yelled out at me. "Envision armour!" She ran at me, slower than she had been before. As the sword swung down at me, all I could do was raise my arm and imagine armour covered it.

There was a clang of metal-on-metal, and I opened my eyes though I hadn't realised I'd closed them, and saw sword had been stopped by gleaming armour on my forearm. The sword was knocked away as Paz threw a punch at the dragon killer's face. She retreated a few steps in shock.

"Dragon knight!" she exclaimed. "Who ... how ...?"

"This isn't just some girl who I happened to be with tonight. She has been my best friend for years. Of course she has the potential to be a dragon knight."

I looked at the armour that had mysteriously appeared. Magic. It was magical armour. Paz had done something magical, and now I had protection.

"You have to envision your whole body covered with your armour. And hurry, I don't want you to get hurt." Paz pleaded.
