Hector and his two best friends Lennor and Alice, sat beside a lake chatting.

“Hey, throw the rock and see how far it goes?”Lennor told Hector. Knowing that it wouldn't go far, Hector picked up a small rock with his skinny arms and threw it with all of his might. “Glug” the rock didn't skip over the water, but instead clashed with it, falling to the bottom of it.

“Man you’re really getting weak…” Lennor said dissatisfied.”Its not about strength, but the way someone throws it!” Alice defends Hector as she picks up a rock beside her and throws it.”Wow, thats amazing ” Hector said as the rocks skips over the lake. “That’s 3 skips, a new record between us…” Lennor says.”Now stop the strength talk and lets talk about something more interesting.” Alice says.

“Like what?” Hector asks, Alice then responds, “You know...The Skylar Academy, have your families made plans for you guys yet?”. ”Of course, My parents have been saving money to buy me the right special weapon and they should be able to get it before im the age of 16. I will surely make it in.” Lennor says.

“Do you guys even know the requirements for joining Skylar Academy?” Hector asks.

”Yes, all a person need is a special weapon. Unlike the ones forged from metals, these are forged from magic. They come in form of accessories and then transform into the weapon needed. The problem is, these weapons are uncommon and only achievable in certain ways. Of course the person wielding the weapon must be skilled in the arts of swordsmanship and martial arts.”Alice says and then continues,”I already have the weapon I need, my parents are just waiting for the right time to give it to me which is when I reach 16. The age required to try out for the school. What about you Hector?”

Hector thought for a second, he never really thought about these things, ”Well, I have to ask my dad about it.” he says. Lennor looks at him and says, “ When will be the next time your dad visits you, since he is always out there exploring?”. Hector thought for a second.”Today! Oh my, how could I forget?” Hector said as he got up.”See you guys later!” Hector waves goodbye to his friends as he leaves.

On the way home Hector began thinking about the things his friends where talking about.”Skylar Academy…” He was already 13 and his father never talked to him about these things. In 3 more years he would be able to participate in the Academy’s tryout. Skylar was the best academy in the nation, every kid’s dream would be to join Skylar Academy. the only problem was achieving the requirements. the special weapons.

Hector entered his home,with excitement. He never gets to spend time with his dad. “Mom!? Dad!?” Hector called out while walking in the living rooms. His mom and his dad were sitting quietly talking to each other. A serious vibe filled the room. Hector’s mom got op from the chair, looked at Hector and gave him a smile before walking away.” Sit down boy.” His dad says.

Hector sits.

“I’m pretty sure that you have heard about skylar academy, correct?” His father asks.

“Yes.” Hector responds. “Take this.” His father hands him a small bag.”Don’t open it yet.”. “6 months after your 16th birthday, the Skylar Academy’s tryouts will be taking place. Before that I want you to go to the far north of the capital and search for a man named burich, I already told your mom the details so you ask her about it, got it?”His father asks and Hector nods.

“Now I have to go. you took too long and there is something important I have to do.” Knowing his father would leave soon since he always stays for a few hours. His father hugs him and walks out of the house. Looking at his father leave the house, Hector opens the bag and looks inside. A golden necklace with a golden cross, laid in the bottom of the bag.
