New start
The meal with Lilly’s family that night was a grand feast with dishes that Allwind had never even heard of let alone tried, all of them were extremely delicious along with wine that Allwind drank little of well aware of what it would do to him.
After the meal the instructor turned to Allwind, “Sir Balious was right boy, the only thing that you have left to learn is experiencing the outside world, do you have any particular plans?”
“No i should be allowed to leave the city boundary now, but as to what i’ll be doing next is something i have never thought of.” Allwind admitted.
“There are many adventures to go on,” Lilly said smiling from where she was sat.
“There are, and you need to be prepared for the dangers that lurk on the outside, since you have done the unexpected and passed the training, i will not let you go unequipped take this note and 30 silver coins, to the blacksmith near the church of Freya, the smith there will know what to give you, but just in case you’re to get two rapier swords i also need new equipment theirs a list on the note.” The instructor said.
“I’ll take him.” Lilly said almost bouncing in her seat.
Quest Equipment,
Deliver the instructors note to the blacksmith
Difficulty: E
Reward: weaponry of your choice.
Allwind nodded and smiled at Lilly, receiving the note and coins from the instructor he made to stand when Lilly’s grandmother interrupted them.
“Both of you can go tomorrow its late now and the smith will not be open,” she said sighing at the energy from the two youths, “lets clear the dishes up first you can go in the morning,” she finished.
The instructor chuckled at the disappointment on both Lilly’s and Allwind’s faces, so instead of shopping in the middle of the night they ended up helping tidy up the remains of the meal.

clash
The two swords in Allwind’s hand’s met the long sword of the dark knight in front of him creating sparks as the weapons met before they sprang apart the opponent was tough, his strength unbelievable the only hope was to be faster than him Allwind thought as he sprung into the melee again, his left sword clashing against sword, the right against a shield the opponent was wearing, to the left of him a young boy stood silently counting ‘that’s right ill beet you this time’ to his right an old man the instructor watched on with a helpless expression, stood next to him was Lilly the young girl watched the matched with a sad face ‘what is she doing here?’, as the two combatants separated again, this time Allwind took a good look at his opponent as his brain tried to work out what was going on.’ The opponents armour looked heavy in its blackened state the sword very real and sharp seemed to be twisted as if it was in agony the shield strong and unbreakable bearing a hideous design that was obscured with filth his head hidden behind a dark helmet only the red eyes were visible.
The only way to win would be to outmanoeuvre the opponent as he leapt forward intending to strike the dark knight again, but changing his stance he rolled under the attacker’s blade to come out behind him stabbing backwards with his left blade it met the knight’s armour and didn’t even leave a scratch mark as the knight swung its twisted blade in a round arc. Allwind stepped back out of its range before stepping back in with both blades spinning in an intricate dance clashing with the shield the armour the helmet all received punishment at the hands of Allwind’s blades, before the opponent could even react.
Stepping back again the damage done wasn’t enough and this time the knight leapt forward preventing any more attacks, all he could do was defend while being pushed back, lacking enough strength to even hold his ground how could he call himself a knight if he was getting pushed back like this.
Rolling under the attacking blade again, to gain distance and sort his stance out Allwind stood and leapt back turning around, he was completely shocked, the knights armour had start to give off steam but this was black steam, suddenly the knight disappeared. Allwind was suddenly flying backwards ‘what,’ he thought gazing at the roof as he flew his vision moved down to the twisted sword now embedded in his chest. As he landed heavily on the floor blood spurting out of his mouth and wound gazing to the side were the instructor and Lilly stood, their gazes said everything as they began to turn grey and disappear turning into ash, ‘no’ Allwind tried to scream, but only blood came out of his mouth as pain raced through his body, as the black knight stood above him laughing at the pitiful site before him.
Alan woke in a start to find himself in bed panting, “a dream” he muttered his throat raw, he had left royal road little over an hour ago, he had promised to meet Lilly for shopping in the morning it turned out that it was night time in the real world deciding to get some sleep he had gotten comfy and quickly dropped off, now he didn’t want to even try sleeping again. he managed to climb in to the wheelchair and manoeuvre his way around the house heading for the kitchen for a drink, ‘let’s see royal road is four times faster than normal time so i have two hours, so much for getting some sleep.’ With all the lights in the house out, it was quite eerie with faint noises coming from around the house Alan had to keep telling himself that it was normal, however it came as quite a shock to see that someone else was still up and moving around, arriving at the kitchen door, Alan could see light coming from the open fridge, and the slim outline of what looked like a girl with short hair her entire figure could be seen ‘what is she doing up?’ Alan thought recognising his sisters shape, he managed to get closer to the silhouette, ‘forget the fact that she’s up, is she even wearing anything?’ he thought gazing at the slim figure in the fridge light, ‘i’m dreaming again’ he thought pinching himself.
bump ‘ouch not dreaming, ow crap now i’m in for it’
bang “ouch” the figure said knocking its head on the fridge door as it tried to turn around.
“Ha” the figure said as it turned in Alan’s direction.
“Well don’t just stand their turn a light on.” Alan said his voice sounding edgy.
“you really don’t want to do that.”
“I really want you to do that”
“Want to die” his sister’s voice sounded really cold.
“No i want a drink it’s your fault for not wearing anything.”
“Fine ill turn on a light, but remember you asked me to.” She replied her voice turning suddenly seductive in the darkness as she walked past the front of Alan, he could small the perfume that she was wearing sending his thoughts along tracks which he never should consider, ‘god please let me wake up soon’ he thought shaking his head from side to side his sister must have noticed as she finally reached the wall she flipped the light switch.
After his eyes adjusted to the bright room Alan breathed a sigh of relief, standing at the light switch was indeed his sister wearing a red night dress, a garment that was becoming quite popular amongst the girls, because it clung to their natural figure showing off their curves, while showing barely any flesh, the end effect of the garment was quiet effective and Alan could see why it had become so popular.
“You, You thought i was naked didn’t you,” she accused him.
“you didn’t exactly leave me with any other impression,” he replied.
“Hehe so you wanted a drink.”
“Orange if you haven’t drunk it all and what are you still doing up anyway?”
“There's some left i was dungeon diving with mum and dad.”
“Dungeon diving? No wait mum and dad are still up?” Alan asked
“yes and yes.”
“Ow i had no idea.”
His sister laughed then a full laugh as she handed him a drink and motioned to the table, “this is normal for us it happens, how about you?”
“I just finished training.”
“You passed?”
“Yep”
“Cool so you a knight now what benefits did you get?”
“It said new class awarded Knight, and a level up.”
“Wait that sounds wrong, didn’t it give you any bonus stats?”
“What do you mean?”
“Like extra strength of a cool skill.”
“No.”
“Right that sounds very wrong, explain and make it the details,” his sister said sitting down as Alan explained everything that had happened.
“Hmm well either you failed and got the concession prize or you looking in the wrong place entirely, why don’t you talk to that girl that tried to tickle you it maybe that she has the hidden class and not the instructor.” Sarah said having thought about the situation for a while.
“You mean Lilly?”
“That’s right i have seen some of those feathers before i even have two in my inventory, but I’ve never heard of an ncp having one, now your turn.”
“Ok, hey what do you mean my turn.”
“Were stuck in a dungeon with a riddle trap, that’s why i’m taking a break because we can’t work it out.”
“Riddle trap?”
“Yep the only clue we have is a plaque with the following question. ‘what’s the fastest thing on tracks?’.”
“No idea hmm tracks?”
“That’s what we thought there aren’t any tracks in the game that we know of.”
“So it’s a real world question?”
“Could be, like i said we have no idea and the amount of steam in the room is annoying as well.”
“Wait you said steam if i remember right the fastest thing on tracks is the Mallard it’s an old steam train that,”
“Runs on tracks you’re brilliant i’m off,” Sarah said finishing the answer off, jumping up from her seat.
“Stop you need to turn the lights off.” Alan called as his sister came to a halt rubbing the back of her head
“Opps” She smiled apologetically at Alan as he left first on his way back to his room he could hear Sarah running upstairs, shaking his head in amusement he noticed the time if he logged in now enough time would have passed and he’d be able to go shopping with Lilly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allwind logged back into Royal road as with the sun well passed the horizon, he was in front of Lilly’s house and was about to knock on the door when it was flung open Lilly stood their hands on her hips looking slightly frustrated.
“You’re late.”
“Sorry Lilly did you wait long?”
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
“Forever.” Lilly said glaring at Allwind.
“Ok ok let’s go before you blow a fuse.”
“Fuse?”
“Never mind lets go,” Allwind said sidestepping so Lilly could lead the way.
Ten minutes later they were both stood in front of a counter in the blacksmith shop it was still early and there wasn’t many users logged on but in spite of that the square outside the shop was full of merchants selling all manner of things, the shop itself seamed far too extravagant and dangerous with all the weaponry hanging on walls or display cases, giving Allwind second thoughts about coming in to the place with Lilly.
Behind the counter stood a man that could only be described as a brick wall, with muscles that would put the best weight trainer to shame, wearing plain overalls the man turned out to be the head blacksmith of the shop.
“Good morning traveller,” the smith said smiling.
“Mitchie, Mitchie good morning.” A bouncing Lilly said her voice going high.
“Ow Lilly how are you on this fine morning.”
“ I’m good Allwind’s taking me shopping.”
“Is that so.” The blacksmith said smiling widely at both of them.
“well i don’t know how much i can spend on her but you never know.” Allwind replied
“So why did you come to my lovely shop.”
“Oh opps, here i was told to deliver this note.” Allwind said remembering why they were here as Lilly wondered over to a display and crouched down gazing at the daggers in the case.
“so you’re the one that passed the training that’s no easy feat, i’ll take care of the items on this list i’m also to get you a weapon of your choice, do you have any preferences since you’re a knight.”
The blacksmith took the note and bag of coins from Allwind before gesturing at the many displays around the shop.
After gazing around briefly Allwind stood there not knowing what to do or say, luckily Lilly came to his aid.
“Allwind needs a fast sword Mitchie.”
“A fast one? Then it had better be a light sword then hmm i thing i have just the thing.” The smith said moving from behind the counter to one of the displays he took out a sword that had a thin but sharp blade. “Try holding this one.”
“It’s good.” Allwind commented as he gripped the handle he made sure he had room before giving it a few practice swings “it’s really good.”
“See Mitchie is the best weapons smith” Lilly said pronouncing the last words longer to get them right.
“That’s right Lillian i’m the best, but the look on your face says differently boy,”
“Sorry it’s a good sword, but have you got another the same or equal to this one?”
“Another sword boy, your gonna tell me you can swing two at once.” The blacksmith said in a joking mood.
“Yes i use two blades.” Allwind replied still gazing at the sword in his hand.
“Hey hey you have to be joking no one uses two blades.”
“Mitchie, Allwind all ways uses two swords in practice.” Lilly said walking over.
“Lillian, are you seriously telling me this boy uses two swords?” the blacksmith asked his face turning deadly serious as Lilly just nodded her head.
“In that case, give me that sword back i have something that’s a little surprising.” The blacksmith said retrieving the sword from Allwind he headed in to the back of the store before remerging with two blades.
“These are rapier’s their crafted from one large piece of ore, i had thought of selling them separate but couldn’t bring myself to do it.” The black smith replied handing them over to Allwind.
The blades were light and easy to wield as Allwind took a few practice swings it was like the blades were truly part of his arms, smiling in satisfaction he turned to the blacksmith nodding.
“It’s good that both blades can stay together, here you’ll need these.” the black smith said handing over two belt sheathes for the swords, it took two attempts to fasten them around Allwind’s waist jostling around so they didn’t interfere with each other.

“Now you almost look like a knight” Lilly said smiling “can we get some candy?”
“Here you’ll need this if it’s for treats.” The blacksmith said flipping a small piece of metal at Allwind who court it in midair it was one silver piece.
Thanking the blacksmith Allwind was pulled out of the shop quiet forcefully by Lilly, who seemed to have a particular destination in mind, she dragged him across the square to an open air merchant whose stall was full of nothing but candy treats and food.
Trying not to laugh at Lilly whose eyes went round when he paid for a large bag of candies they managed to get back to the Lilly’s house, seating themselves on the door step, before she dove into the bag extracting her favourites.
“Lilly do you remember yesterday you tried to tickle me with a feather what was that?” Allwind asked remembering what his sister had said to him.
“Do you really want to know?” Lilly asked her eyes shining in excitement.
“ Yes if you don’t mind”
“Ok wait here, i’ll be right back” she said jumping up and running into the house.
Ten minutes passed and Allwind was beginning to think that he might have to go find her, when Lilly reappeared holding the a huge book in her hands the silvery feather on top of the book, sitting down she opened the book.
“Do you really want me to read the book?”
“Please Lilly i want to know about the feather.”
“OK” she replied starting to read
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“In a time in distance past their existed a kingdom in the heavens, in the kingdom lived angels who were majestic and nice.” Lilly started
Suddenly a pop up window appeared in front of Allwind and a movie started to play it showed what Lilly was describing in the book.
“The angels lived gentle lives, but one day a darkness descended on the kingdom, in response to this threat of darkness twelve angelic warriors were tasked with the defence of the kingdom, they managed to drive away the darkness but in doing so they became lost in the land that existed below the kingdom. The Queen of the kingdom grieved for the lost and tasked a young angelic knight with finding the twelve, and so he set out on his mission at the behest of the queen but the darkness had not being completely defeated and still existed in the land below, the young knight tried his best to find the other twelve angels, but he was not strong enough, he left his feathers in places that he looked so he could remember where he had been, ultimately he plucked the last of his feathers out unable to find the missing twelve and he died, before he perished he pleaded with others to carry on his quest but no one help him.” Lilly said as a tear trickled down her cheek.
The video stopped and Allwind was left stunned not only was it incredibly moving but he had no idea that you could watch video’s in game.
“Allwind would you help him?”
“Yes i would if he was still alive”
