Chapter 18 - Reborn (2/2)

Delbert thought if the prophecy was true and this person was meant to be our saviour, then this should be an easy task of someone so great.

The doll continued to move towards Ray until the strike was inches away from his face. When suddenly a wooden head could be seen rolling around on the floor. The doll had stopped in its tracks.

Ray had swung his sword so fast that no one was able to see. Only the three knights from Roland had seen Ray's magnificent speed.

Once the news of his father sickness had reached Ray's ears, in preparation for the upcoming exam Ray had decided to hunt some more Basic tier beasts. He had obtained some crystal and right now his points had reached 36 compared to the 7 they were before. Ray had felt as if he had taken control of an entirely new body.

With passing the test, the knights had told me and Gary to say goodbye to our families and pack our belongings. I knew this would happen as my father had informed me that once you passed the test you would start straight away.

I headed home to get a few things. honestly, I didn't have much as I didn't care for human things, none of this stuff meant anything to me. Before leaving I went to the room my father was occupying.

I saw him lying there repeating the same words about the shadows.

”Dad, I passed the knight exam, I know you properly cant here me... but I will find a way to make you better. ”

As I said these words my dad stopped speaking for a few seconds. I didn't know if it was my imagination or not but a slight smile seemed to twitch on his face. My father was still in there fighting.

I headed out to the front door to say my final goodbyes to my mother. My mother's tears hadn't stopped since she heard the good news. She had always been a worrier.

”Ray, I want you to take this with you before you go” She handed me a blue circular pendant and proceeded to put it around my neck.

”It's a family heirloom, hopefully, it will bring you good luck just like it did with me.” She said.

With my goodbye to my parents done I proceeded to head to the carriage at the edge of town. I was happy to finally be leaving this place once and for all. There weren't many good memories I had of this town. The very few that I did have with my family and Amy had now become bad ones.

As I reached the edge of town the three knights were sitting on their horses waiting. Inside the carriage, I could see that Gary was already sitting inside. I quickly ran over to the carriage and hoped in picking a seat away from Gary.

As the carriage went away from the village I looked at the view one last time.

It had been 3 hours since leaving the village with Gary, and we still hadn't said a word to each other. The silence was killing me. being the a.d.u.l.t I decided to break the silence first.

”So what happened to Amy I didn't see her around?” I asked.

”She went to Roland academy, didn't she tell you?”

”The mage school!” I stood and shouted.

In all the times that we had spoken, she had failed to mention that she had magical abilities.

In the middle of our conversation, the carriage came to a sudden halt.
