Chapter 40 - Dragon Knights (1/2)

I woke up to the sound of two metallic objects banging together could be heard throughout the mansion. It affected me more than most due to my sensitive hearing. Joe was standing in front of door banging two metal pots together. It seemed like this was the traditional way to wake up the new students.

”Can you not just wake us up like normal,” Gary complained.

We quickly got out of bed and dressed into the standard school uniform, lining up in front of Joe. Joe looked at each one of us checking all was in order such as gear and sashes.

”Good, you're starting to look like real knights now, unfortunately, I have some bad news. Training has been cancelled for today and will start tomorrow. An emergency meeting has been called between the master knights. You are free to spend the day as you wish.”

”Can we go outside?” I asked.

”Unfortunately not, until you learnt the basics at Avrion academy, you are not permitted to leave the city. Please feel free to visit the library or even the church to get a blessing from the divine being.”

Joe saluted to us before leaving.

”What are you going to do now then Ray?” Gary asked.

”I'm thinking of heading to the library, what about you?.” I wanted to go to find out new information about the dragon knights and the divine being. Perhaps it would give me an idea of what was inside that tomb. Although I could go grave robbing it was something I didn't want to do on my first day here.

”That sounds boring, I'm going to head to the training ground, maybe there are a few people who will spar with me.”

Monk had decided to head back to the dorms and catch up with the others, while Kyle went along with Gary to the training grounds. This left me on my own which I was pleased about.

The library was a grand place just like the other building in Avrion academy. It felt like it would take a whole lifetime to be able to read every one of these books.

I decided to fist check out on information about the dragon knights. Of course, there were many books about the dragon knights since they were the founders of Avrion academy.

I skimmed through a couple of the books that I picked out at random, most of them talked about how the five knights came together to protect the kingdom against the shadow plaque.

It was believed that the shadow plague originated from a different continent. When it came to the southern continent it started to take over the land quickly. A truce was called between the kingdoms and the dragon knights managed to hold off the shadow plaque. That was around fifty years ago and there hasn't been activity since.

Although I learnt a bit about there past, I didn't find any information about their weapons or armour. This was the information I was looking for. Until I came across a book titled ”The truth about the dragon knights.”

This book was different from the rest, as it didn't talk about the great deeds or the stories of the dragon knights but the dragon knights themselves. It talked about their personalities their armour their weapons. This was what I had been looking for.
