I turned over to Rose and saw that her eyes sparkled with joy, like a baby entranced by its mother’s singing voice. “That… that was amazing Onas!”
“Wow…” I mumbled in awe as Onas proudly held his chest puffed out. The destructive power of the spell alone was enough to wipe out an entire squadron of knights at once.
“Say, Rose… you took over as Commander after I left, right?” Onas began. “You were my most experienced knight after all.”
Excitedly, she nodded her head with a smile across her face. “Yes! I’m just not in uniform right now because I didn’t want to draw too much attention on the way here. I’m extremely honored to take this position!”

“Bahahaha! You’re awesome Rose! Come here, I’m so proud of you!” Onas laughed as he teasingly pulled her close and began rubbing her hair. Her face turned beet red from embarrassment, yet she smiled with joy.
I glanced at the two other knights and noticed that they were staring right at me.
“Sir Onas, may I talk with your son for a bit?” one of the knights asked.
Onas, who was still teasing Rose, nodded and responded, “Of course.”
The first knight gestured for me to come over. I shrugged and walked over to him as we began walking away from Onas and Rose while the other knight followed behind us.
“Your name’s Wyliame, right? My name’s Jil. The other guy’s name is Ryan, but he doesn’t really talk too much.”
Although they both had their helmets on, the tone of his voice was an apparent sound of excitement.
“Nice to meet you guys.”
He nodded. “I just wanted to ask you a really important favor… a favor that nobody else could do except you. Are you okay with it?”
I looked at him with my eyebrows raised. “Something that nobody else could do except me?”
Jil nodded again. “Whew… alright here goes nothing. Can you erm… explain to me Onas’ secret to becoming so powerful? I’m a huge fan of his but I’m too nervous to even talk to him. My buddy Ryan admires him too, but as you can see, he doesn’t even talk at all.”
I glanced over at the other knight and he simply nodded at me. The only sound that came from him was the rattle of his helmet. Seriously…?
“Here, I’ll give you this!”

Jil handed me a small yellow flower, one that was so vibrant that a faint golden luminescent emitted from it.
