Smoke filled the air as screams of terror filled the void. You could hear horses galloping and metal clanged. A knight jumped off his horse. His armour was shining as if it was brand new. While his sword had a red gem on it.

"Open the communicator". As he snapped his fingers, another knight came off their horse with an orb and kneeled. You could see a white-bearded man in the orb. "Izor, report to the king, Esnad is gone".

The wizard let go with a loud laugh. "So you pulled it off, huh Henry. That will teach that bastard of a king to not pay his taxes, hahaha,". The wizard's laughter deliberately went away. "Don't forget to gather those orcs and bring them back. They're valuable. Understand me, Henry, the so call great," The orb instantly went black.

The knight bit his lip in frustration. "That stupid old bastard. Who does he think he is? He's all high and might because he's Izor the keen." the knight said as he kicked dust. "I can't wait to take that smirk off his face once I'm a paladin."

The knight rose his hand. "Gather all those stupid orcs and return to the kingdom." He commanded as he got on his horse and set off.

The knights pulled down the giant green orcs with ease. Even with the faces that set fear into people, you could see fear in there's. They loaded them into a metal cart that set off being carried by 5 horses.

The sun rose on the horizon. Letting more light and life into Likkrus cave. Both Amory and Everett stayed in bed. You could hear a boiling kettle. An energized Likkrus calmly strolled towards the boy's beds.

He cackled as he was prepared to shout "WAKE UP LAZY YOUNG ONES!!".

Everett bounce off the bed, while Amory was still fast asleep. "What the hell, you old geezer? What you gotta do that for, damn my back hurts". Everett got off the floor and went to make his bed. While Likkrus went over to Amory and flipped his bed with one finger. He did two flips before landing straight on the floor. You could hear his face hit the floor echo throughout the room.

A sleepy but angered Amory rose from the floor. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!!" he yelled while pointing at the bed. Everett, trying to hold in his laugh, pointed towards Likkrus. He couldn't hold his laughter in while Amory yelled at the old geezer.

"Well, since you two are awake, it's time to make breakfast. No time to stall, come on, the sun won't stay up forever," He said while walking out the room. Everett raised his hand before he left "What's for breakfast?". Likkrus laughed and turned to Everett, "Whatever you boys catch".

A confused Everett and Amory looked at each other and simultaneously said "us?".

Both of them cleaned themselves and went over to Likkrus. "I see you two are ready. Grab your swords, get ready to hunt."

"We have no swordsmanship skills, or killed anything before. We were just in that old orphanage the whole time". Likkrus jumped up and hit Everett with a stick. Don't be so quick to give up child, I shall join you two and help.

All three of them were chasing after a wild boar. Only Likkrus could keep up with it as Amory and Everett struggled. "Keep up, you two are young, don't you know, kekeke".

After running around as if they were crazy. They ended up in a spacious cave. They heard Likkrus's voice in the cave. It sounded like he was fighting someone or something. They ran in to save him, but there they saw it again. The giant green beast they nearly died from.

"It's an Orc. Run away or you two will die." Likkrus shouted at the two as the orc held him by the throat. But even with the warning, they both froze in fear. Their eyes became lifeless as the memories flooded in.

The orc used his other hand, swinging his axe with a swift motion. Likkrus broke free of the distracted orc's grip, falling to the floor and instantly jumping at the two. Saving them by an inch of the orc's axe.

With, his immense strength he lifted his giant axe with great agility and struck once more. A tremendous amount of thoughts went through Amory's head. Time slowed, as colour slowly disappeared. His breathing became louder and smoother.

As his conscious gave in. His body abruptly radiated a bright purple light. Everett slowly coming back to reality stared at Amory as did Likkrus with a shocked face.

His arm raised sending a shock wave through the floor, shaking the ground. A bright light started beaming from his hand. A light-speed beam set off from his hand, piercing the orc's head. He swung his hand cutting its head off clean.

Its body fell to the floor with its head rolling away. He turned his head to see Everett holding an injured Likkrus in his arms. As the light disappeared and his lifeless body fell back to earth. All he saw was a terrified look on Everett's face staring at the orc.

*

His eyes opened to darkness. He couldn't feel his body nor any of his senses. It was as if he had become a ghost.

He suddenly started hearing sparks of a flame. The more persuaded it the louder it became. Until he finally got his sight. Everett sat on the floor next to the fire with the pig they were chasing, cooked above it.

"Likkrus if that's a fraction of power that man lent Amory, what use would he have of me around? I'll just be a nuisance." He muttered with concern.

"Don't worry my boy. You're as special as him in fact, kekeke, You my boy ar-" before he could finish his sentence Amory shot up taking a deep breath. Everett out of shock fell off his floor taking Likkrus to the floor with him.

"What happened? My body just went limp. Wait how are we ok, Did Likkrus kill the orc?". Likkrus rose off the floor and pointed toward the decapitated orc. "That over there was all you, never thought you would handle his power so well."

A confused but amazed Amory went slack-jawed. "How did I do that? I don't even remember anything."

I see why Everett choose this boy. But couldn't he have chosen a smarter one, well I guess I can't doubt his judgement.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow my body is still weak." As he lay back down on the floor and closed his eyes.

Amory looked to Everett "Can I get a piece of that pig, I'm hungry after passing out. Please." As he clapped his hands together and asked.

An annoyed expression filled his face, but he handed him a piece, anyway. As Amory stuffed his face with meat with no rest to breathe or chew.

Guess ill have to start those two training tomorrow, I didn't think that boy would progress so fast. The other boy two I see nature has taken a liking to him.

A knock on the door calmly came from outside. "Yes, come in"

A person opened the door and scurried into the room out of breath as if he ran. "C-, Com-, Commander one of our orcs escaped. We sent a search party of knights but no one returned."

Henry's face filled with anger as his grip tightened on his desk. "Tsk, We need to find that orc before Izor finds out. Go now send more knights. Find it or I ought to kill you before the orc does." He raised his swords to the knight's neck.

A scared knight ran out of the room. Henry slammed his desk and broke into a cold sweat. "I can't let the kingdom find out, this might affect my promotion. Damn them".
