***************************************************** After dinner we continued our training even though we were all about to burst. After all of our push ups and curl ups we got to sit and rest. Then when all of our major training like sword handling and kicking and punching instead of getting to go to bed we got to go to a hot campfire that didn't make any of us feel good. " Welcome all to our nightly campfire! We do have some things to report before we can dismiss so if everyone could quiet down we can begin." One of Trainers little henchmen named Galilleo asked politley. We quieted for the report. Trainer took over. " Over in Crotonia there have been reports of a feirce battle. Today a warrior from the Crotonian Battle Guild came to tell us that a Guild from Plandrid were heading our way. By there calculations they should be here in a fortnight. (2 weeks!!!) We will be Trainning harder and longer everyday!" Trainer finished. Though we all wanted to no one let out a groan. " Tommorrow all of you will be called out of training for battle armor fittings and sword sizes. If you are and archer you will get bows and arrows. If you were made to fight with only skill you will carry a dagger and yourself. Is everything understood?" There was a loud agreement and then we were released. " Wow a war already?? That seems very quick!" Freezefire said as we were leaving. " Yeah I know... What are you guys any ways? I never did ask?" I said. " Well I'm a sword handler." Freezefire answered proudly. " And I'm an archer!" Trysten said. And I could imagine him beign able to hide behind things easly and not be seen. " And I'm a fighter!" Leo answered happily. " What are you going to do Stelluna?" Freezefire asked. " Well i'm not sure Trainer hasn't told me yet..." I said. "Um guys??" "Yes?" All three of them answered. " Where is the shower? I never found time to..." I said. " Well lets get your stuff and we'll show you!" Leo said. " ok thanks!" I answered happily. After retrieving my stuff we headed up to the shower house. There was a huge circle of small wooden circles inside it. They each had a spout in them. " Are those the showers?" I asked nervously. They only were tall enough to cover a little more than half of someone. " Oh yeah... They were kinda made for guys..." Freezefire said ruffling the back of his hair. " Um we could hold up... A towel!" Leo suggested. " Oh thats a great idea!" Trysten said. " Thank you so much guys!" I said and they ushered me into the shower. They clipped the towels to these four poles that were around the edges of the shower. I undressed and turned the shower on after putting my clothers out. I could tell the guys probably felt a little awkward because I knew I did. I didn't really want to talk because really what do you say... luckly I didn't have to make small talk... Yeah so lucky... "Hey man whats goin on?" I heard a familiar voice call out. " Nothin maybe you should just leave!" Leo said angrily. " Who's in the shower? wouldn't happen to be your little girlfriend would it Freezefire?" Zacharious asked. " That wouldn't happen to be any of your buisness now would it Zacharious?" Freezefire answered angrily. " Oh but i beleive it would!" Before I could react Freezefire Yelled "Stelluna!" And the towels were ripped down. I screamed bloodcurddiling and crouched down so i could conceal myself. My eyes were closed but I heared a " Whack!" And i realized Leo had just punched Zacarious sqare in the nose. I saw the shower door open and I screamed again before I realized it was Freezefire. He quickly wrapped a towel over me and picked me up and he ran faster than light away. " I'm so sorry Stelluna!" He said dissapontedly. I just closed my eyes and threw an arm around his neck putting my face in his shoulder. I could feel his heartbeat quicken most likely from the running. He stopped suddenly and I raised my head. In front of us stood Trevin and Trainer. " What is this all about?!" Trainer yelled. " Like I said sir! We found them in the showers by themselves!" Trevin said giving us and evil grin before turning back to his teacher. " Sir it's not like that!! I was showering and Freezefire Leo and Trysten put towels up so I could shower and then Zacharious and his band of goons came and tore down the towels and Freezefire got me away from them! You have to beleive me Sir!" I asked pleadingly. He looked from me and back to Trevin and asked " Where are the others??" " Back by the showers fighting." Freezefire reported. " Come on you fool and help me!" Trainer yelled at Trevin ans ran. Before he followed he turned to us and said " This war is not over for either of you! You will pay!" And then he ran off after Trainer. " I'm sorry Freezefire it's all my fault!" I said. " I should Have never came here!" I Said sadly. " Don't say that! Don't ever say that! If you wern't here where would I be right now?" He asked looking back at Trevins retreating figure. The question was rhetorical so I didn't answer and He ran me back to the tents.
