Blaze gets up "I am as angry as you at him but i cant do anything
about it. Killing him is a one way ticket to the dungeon and
punishment for the rest of your life." Blaze hugs Midas but it is
clear he mostly just tripped "If you want i can get you off the
streets and have you live in the castle. I did that for Crystal."
Blaze thinks "you do know i normally train on castle grounds at
night right? So i have gained a lot of skill since i started my
training 10 years ago." Blaze sighs and grabs out his sword and
stabs into the ground and by mistake digs it into his foot. he
falls down in pain and removes the sword from his foot "beginners
mistake..... so embarrassing since i am no beginner....." Blaze
faints from the pain.
she tsked and put the arrow away.
''my family served generations in that castle, and were able to
sense that there was a beast somewhere lurking in that place.... i
lost my own parent's in that stupid massacre so don't think this
doesn't concern me as well'' she said.
Midas sighed as Blaze fell to the ground "Obviously you didn't put
much effort in your training if you can't take a good 10
hits from a sword." Midas looks back at Amber "Really? Wow, seems
like everyone in this group has someone who died that night." Midas
laughed "I was also orphaned in that event. Not much to laugh at,
but it's strange coincidence none the less. At five years old, I
was ready to kill that maid with my own two hands, sadly, I was
held back by some guards." Midas explains
Blaze's foot is bleeding a good bit. His armor seems to have digged
into his foot as well. Blaze changes from his monster form back to
a human. It is clear something just happened inside him to make him
turn back even though it is still night time. he mones in pain and
quickly wakes up "I feel like i am human again..... am i or am i
just imagening things?".
"..." Midas just stares at Blaze with a blank expression
"Seriously? I highly doubt this is true, so, you should still
behave at night." Midas assures Blaze
Blaze nods "My foot really hurts..... Maybe i should stick with
you....." Blaze looks like his confidence was broken "First could
you two make me to the medic.....? I want to get this checked
out..... then could you help train me Midas.....?".
"Okay, let's get you to the castle, they should have people who can
take care of you." Midas says "Now about that training, I will
train you, but make sure to get up at 4:30 AM or any time before
5:30 really, because I start my training at 5:30 sharp." Midas
explains his tough training regimen
Blaze laughs a little "Why dont you do the training big boys
do..... I start at 1 AM and dont stop tell 4AM..... I dont even
stop to eat..... Only quick 1 minute water brakes every 30 minutes
of training...... I also train when ever i have free time..... so i
basically train threw out the night.....".
"Listen, training that early is just unhealthy, but you only do it
for 3 hours? I do 10 hours straight, but of course with a water
break every now and then, and some pasta around the 5 hour mark to
get some energy back up." Midas smirks "I've done that everyday
since I was five... Though I must admit I did steal some
ingredients since I had and still don't have money..." Midas admits
as Amber mentioned going to bed. "Speaking of which, I should get
some sleep soon too, so I can get up on schedule."
Blaze sighs "I sleep starting at sun rise and wake up at sun
set..... It is easier that way..... I learned to be nocturnal....."
Blaze laughs a bit "another way to keep from going mad as a monster
at night for me....." Blaze yawns "I hope I will be able to walk
tomorrow....." Blaze looks really tired now.
Blaze grabs out his sword and points it at midas but looks in a
different direction "I sense like you wont want to....." suddenly
another dog that is in monster form appears. it grabs Blaze's arm
with it's jaws and drags him away. Blaze drops his sword near Midas
as the dog drags him away. Blaze looks only slightly scared
"Um.....? help....?" Blaze yawns and clearly wont yell to save his
life right now.
Midas yawns "Ugh...fine, guess I can't have you dieing yet. Though
if this were to be able to kill you I'd be worried that this
journey could end in failure." Midas pulls the dog off and snaps
it's neck "Now, I'm going to get some rest." Midas lays back down
and falls back asleep
Blaze nods and picks Midas up "I might as well let you go rest in
my bed...... i am a bit spoiled when it comes to my sleep..... i
hate it....." Blaze gets up and starts to limp to the castle. he
forgets all about his sword and leaves it there.
Crystal wakes up and yawns "what happened while i was asleep?".
Blaze walks out to the training yard using a new longer sword as a
cane to keep him up. he seems in pain "I cant believe i am not
allowed to walk with out holding this for 2 weeks..... Now i cant
go battle because i would simply get in the way." Blaze seem really
upset and sits down on a bench.
amber had rested up and was in the castles archery range practicing
her range skill.

jacob had taken crystal to his room and gave her his bed while he
slept on the arm chair, using his cloak as a pillow.
