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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDSjI767d7

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZpykqcXaX

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2yLqnzPLp

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWvRMVjHUl

"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!"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMRbItM0Cc

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaDP7i1KMm

"Looks like him," said the girl as they came to a stop in front of him.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ATcXMqKs

"So did the other three," said the man. "Show me your arm boy."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUO0ZIH3Sw

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrB89iwlbZ

"It is him," said the man. "What is your name?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kqdmDR5Xz
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftJTCmpI1n
"Felai," he said. Wondering what crime hed been accused of. Or was it his lying on the last academy entrance form?431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhdxT1NjCZ

"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.
