Okay sorry for the long wait. Here's the next chapter.
Chapter 2 ~ The Final Days
Only two more days and I will finally be 5. Everyone's going to be at my celebration. Uncle Galfore, Aunt Jenia, Aunt Ellna, and everyone in my family will be there.
Walking through the halls, Star and Blackfire were on their way to their training session. Blackfire liked the class only because she has a crush on the teacher.
" Star, do you think Ryi likes me?"
" I told you before, I DON'T KNOW. Besides he is 13 and you are 5. There is a 8 year difference."
" So, Mom's 19 and Dad's 22."
" But it is a 3 year difference, it is 5 years less!"
" Whatever, Star"
" Fine Brittania."
" Star, I told you it is Blackfire." Star and Blackfire walked through a door revealing a night garden. Small flowers with shades of blue and green, red and purple, yellow and black blooming on the trees. Standing in the middle of it all was a teen boy with long jet black hair tied back from his face and had grey blue eyes. He wore a cotton black shirt and brown garden pants.
" Hello Ryi " Blackfire sang in a sing song voice.
" Hello Brittania." He turned to Star and smiled at her, " Hello Star."
" Good day, Ryi. What are we learning today."
" First, we practice our swordmanship, next gunmanship, then bow and arrow practice, finally we will play cards for fun."
" Sounds pleasant." Both girls grabbed a metal sword and faced each other 10 feet away. The sound of swords meeting echo over the palace. SLASH! A small tree with bolssoms was slice in half from a sword. One last blow left Star on the ground and Blackfire standing over her with her sword.
" Very good, Brittania"
" Thank you!"
" Well done, Star." She ignored the comment and stood up.
" Next lesson." Ryi pulled out something from his weapon table. He handed both Star and Blackfire a gun like weapon.
" This is a heat pistol. It aims fire balls at a distance. You must be careful with it." He pointed to a target about 50 feet away. Blackfire went up first aimed her pistol. 3...2...1...BAM! Blackfire missed the target by 5 inches and hit a tree causing it to burn to ashes. Then Star went up to shoot her pistol at the target. Then.........BAM! The target went up in flames.
" Excellent Girls." He took the pistols from both the girls and let them pick out their bows and arrows. They looked through the sets before they found their favorite one. Blackfire picked a deep purple bow with purple arrows and Star picked a pink bow and red aroows. Star and Blackfire had their backs to each other and aimed their weapons. Both let go of the arrow and it sailed right onto the target.
" Yes!" the girls gave each other a high five. After half an hour, Ryi took the bows and arrows and sat the girls at a table. He placed a weird looking mat on the table in front of the girls and handed them deck of cards.
" So what is this Ryi?"
" This, Brittania, is a dueling board. I made a special deck to match your personality." The girls looked through their decks to see what cards they had.
Dark Magician Girl, Harpie's Lady, Red Eyes Black Dragon, Harpie's Lady's Pet Dragon....
After looking through the deck, they started a game that lasted a half hour. The game ended in a tie between the girls. After they said goodbye to Ryi, the girls went back to their separte rooms. Star got out her diary from her jewelry box and started writing.
