         “It’s not likely to change no matter how much you stare at it.” Katlyn says.

         “I know. I just don’t know what I should do.” Wenn says as he turns to look at Katlyn.

         “You should listen to your heart; allow it to guide you when you’re unsure. After all your heart is what knows you the best.” Flora says as she cheerfully walks into the tavern.

         “I’m happy that I signed up. I think this will turn out to be a great challenge for me.” Katlyn says as she walks by with another tray of empty dishes.

         “Argo was the first to sign up he’s always so bold; He never backs down from a challenge, does he?” Flora says as she looks at the others.

         “You do know the guards doing the testing will be here in the early morning hours. They are also likely to start the tests right away. We should all be resting. Argo says as he’s on his way out.

         “I suppose you’re correct.” Katlyn says.

Wenn signs the sheet. They all head to their homes. The morning comes rather quickly as the echoing sound of the guard’s horn sounds off through the many trees. The villagers gather around in a crowd.

         “Argo Grin, Katlyn Peers, Flora Blooms, and Wenn Winters; could the four of you step forward? There are five tests you have to complete you will gain a score for each, those who score at our set goal or higher will continue on with us to become castle guards, now let’s begin.” Ari says.

Everyone who signed up takes the tests, once each of them finishes Captain and Ari go over the scores.

         “Based on the scores each of you placed Argo Grin and Flora Blooms will be continuing on along with us. Please get some rest we leave at dawn.” Captain says then he walks away.

         “Good luck becoming castle guards you two.” Katlyn smiles at them.

         “Study hard guys.” Wenn says with a smile.

         “Don’t be sad Wenn you will find what you’re destined for soon, just keep following your heart.” Flora says to him with her same cheerful smile.

At dawn, they start on their way to the water village.
