Felai opened his eyes and blinked. He yawned then rolled over. Through the chinks in the boards of his crude shelter he could see the first Ray's of dawn.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZrylymsKm

Why he bothered to get up this early to train he didn't know. Hope maybe? Hed been rejected by all the training academies of borim because his father was a criminal. But he still had hope. He sat up and his blankets fell away. He was lean and wiry under his ragged clothes and not that tall, but hed never lost a fight against any of the other 'gutter scum' as they were called by the residents of borim. Who avoided them like the plague.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDFfmKwrlq

Suddenly a sound caught his attention. He quickly scrambled out of his shelter to find a sight hed only ever seen from a long distance away.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujRvm4Qg0c

Standing in the courtyard of the abandoned building where he and other gutter scum had their shelters were two warriors. One a slight young girl, wearing red combat robes and carrying two swords. One a beautiful rapier, the other a narrow curved blade. The other man was tall and burly with long white hair and beard. He carried no visible weapons and wore extensively tooled armor that reflected the rising suns Ray's.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmId7npavsr

"Warrior brutes!" Yelled a ragged man as he threw a rotten vegetable at the girl who dodged it easily. "We dont want your kind here!"477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjMpxkRlX7

Suddenly the girl and the man looked at felai. The man said something and they began walking towards him. Easily avoiding the various items thrown at them.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnts5ApHKgc

"Looks like him," said the girl as they came to a stop in front of him.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcIBT1K091

"So did the other three," said the man. "Show me your arm boy."477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmUjneIMUF

Felai held out his arms. On his left arm just below his sleeve was a birthmark that looked like a star, from the right angle.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JuBDbxJ2Y

"It is him," said the man. "What is your name?"477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbxDTSdnxN

"Felai," he said. Wondering what crime hed been accused of. Or was it his lying on the last academy entrance form?477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt44Z1Desn

"Come with us," said the girl as she yanked him forwards towards the gate. "And well get started."
"Get started with what?" Asked felai.
"Your training boy," said the man as he strode towards the gate. "You are the last descendant of house Leis. And you are mankind's only hope."
"What?" Muttered felai as he allowed himself to be led forwards while wondering if this was a cruel joke by the academies.
