As time went on I did two things. I trained under Zebediah and Brently, and I did my best to forget about Haven. We tried to be friends but quickly found out that we would be lovers, or nothing.
In my quest to forget her, I met another, her name was Everest. She was more from my side of the tracks. She was beautiful, but not innocent like Haven. She was Tall, slender, slightly womanly but filled out enough to push my buttons.
Eventually I foolishly told her I loved her. She kissed me and seemed to melt in my arms. I did love her, but as a fifteen year old boy, all I was Capable of was puppy love.
To make things worse I had to train to the max knowing I would have to face this Dark Warlord. I remember those eyes. As if light couldn't penetrate them.
I trained every day after school. Focusing my power. Excerting it. Increasing my speed, strength, and accuracy.
Finaly the day came. We waited for him in a feild not far from Brently's house.
As I felt the wind gust up my stomach seemed to dissapear.
I watched this Dark Warlord ride in similar to the way he did before. When he landed Zebediah, Brently, and myself went to stance and gaurd positions. In a row was a vampire, an elementalist, and The Darkwolf.
The Dark Warlord looked at us a chuckled. Then he screamed in a loud booming voice that all the world could hear,
"Let the War Begin!!!"
