“Bang” Hector’s head hit the side of the wagon, with his arm he got rid of the drool on his mouth and he realised it was morning.”The wagon stopped…?” he asked himself,”Hey kid, my time to rest, you want something to eat?” the man riding the wagon asked?. Grabbing his stomach Hector could feel it begging for food, and replied,”Yes, sir.”.

Hector opened the wagon’s door and quickly covered his eyes, the bright sun shone on his face nearly blinding him. As he stepped out of the waggon he began to feel pain all over his body. Sleeping in that wagon made his body sore. Hector quickly began to stretch and then joined the bearded man who was sitting on the side of the road looking through a bag.”Take this.” The bearded man takes out an apple and throws it to Hector,”Thanks.” Hector than thanks the man.

“What’s your name kid?” The bearded man asks,”Hector, may I ask for yours?” Hector responds.”I’m Rodrick, nice to meet you Hector. In a few we shall continue our voyage, but right now its a time for rest so relax.”.

Hector wasn't really tired, but he agreed and sat there eating the apple.”Im guessing you are going to try out for the Skylar Academy?” Rodrick asks and Hector nods.”Hmm… You know, when I was your age I tried out for that academy as well…” Rodrick said, Hector’s eyes shone bright upon hearing those words, and begin to look a rodrick waiting for the story.

“Hehe, I guess I will tell you my story, and give you a few tips. Kid, in the tryouts you will have to battle an F class student. And if you win you will be accepted, but a F class student is pretty strong and they are in the academy for a reason.” Rodrick said. “F class?” Hector said in confusion.” Oh right, you don’t know about this, there are different classes that shows your strength. The classes are arranged from the weakest to the strongest. It starts from F the weakest, D, C, B, A an the ultimate S.”

“Not everyone will be able to become an S class knight. Since you are not a noble you will most likely start off an F class if you pass the tryout, unless you have amazing talent. While the nobles, don't even need to try out, they enter the academy without any problem. The nobles get special weapons handed down their family ancestry.” The man paused and asked,” Do you have a special weapon?” Hector hesitated, he didn't want to show the necklace his father gave him since he lacked knowledge on the necklace.”Not yet.” He responded. “I see… when I first tried out, I had a lot of pressure from my parents to join the academy. Their dream was for someone in our family to take our family weapon and join the academy. But I was weak. I was unable to join the academy and so their dream wasn't fulfilled...Kid may I ask for a favour?” the man asked.”Sure.” Hector responded.

He pulled out a gray ring and said”My dream and my family’s dream. Is for our family weapon to be used by a knight… Since I'm the last surviving member of my family and I don’t have any kids. I would be thankfull, if you could use my family’s special weapon. I know its not the best...But…” the man stuck out his hand with the ring on it. Hector hesitated but with the man insisting him he grabbed the ring and he wore it.”Thank you so much!” Rodrick thanked Hector with tears in his eyes.”To release the weapon you will need know its name, its called Night’s Edge. Now try releasing it, concentrate on the ring, the rest will happen naturally” As rodrick finished Hector got up and began concentrating.

At first Hector didn't feel anything, but then his body felt weightless, like it was floating in endless space. His mind became pitch black and a deep voice could be heard.”My old master have handed me to you?” The voice asked. Hector was astonished, he couldn't believe what was happening.”Y-yes…” Hector stuttered.”Call my name, and I shall be released. You will be my new master.” The voice said. “Night’s Edge!” Hector shouted and his mind quickly went back to its normal state. He opened his eyes and a Gray sword was on his hands.

The sword looked unique, it possessed a curved, slender, single-edged blade with a circular guard and long grip. The grip was decorated with blue and black leather. The sword shone in the sun as Hector stared at it.”What a beautiful sword.”.”Great now that you have released it, try out a few swings.”Rodrick said and Hector began swinging,

As he swung the sword, the wind moved around his body, it was like he was one with his body. “Kid your steps are careless, and your movements are too awkward.” The voice in his head said to him. Hector was still confused as to what the voice in his head was.”Mister Rodrick what is this voice in my head, that keeps talking to me, Is it the sword?”Hector asks.”Yes, it will give you tips on how to get stronger. You might not want to call it sword but by its name.” Rodrick responds and Hector nods. “Now kid get in the wagon its time to travel, now seal the sword, concentrate.”

Hector began to concentrate on the sword and said,”Seal!” the sword was surrounded by beautiful silver light and in an instant it became a ring again.” Hector entered the wagon sat down and started talking to Night’s Edge.
