AT THE KNIGHTS TRAINING CAMP:

Third pov:

It's well past 8 in the world of Cromerth. The knights are in their chambers awaiting the morning light, most of them sleeping or late-night training. The pink knight couldn't sleep, so they decided to write in their journal. They moved their pillow and picked up their leather journal and the feathery tool they used to write as well as the ink. They sat up and sighed as they wrote down what was bothering them.

pink knights pov:

'September 17th,1583 Entry 1- -Its day 1 of training, in earnest I don't knoweth wherefore I sign'D up. To be honest I'm not coequal sure I consumed in the mess hall the present day. Tom'rrow we'll best training hard and in about a week those gents we has't us wend on a practiceth mission that'll beest did grade. I may doth well 'r I may not, th're art a few things I w'rry about
|,like mine own pe'rs and their p'rf'rmance but, i'm sure i shall beest well enow. I feeleth liketh i shouldst traineth a did bite bef're going to sleep chamber, bethink its a valorous idea. ?'

-(Its day 1 of training, honestly I don't know why I signed up. To be honest I'm not even sure I ate in the mess hall today. Tomorrow we'll be training hard and In about a week they we have us go on a practice mission that'll be graded. I may do well or I may not, there are a few things I worry about , like my peers and their performance but, I'm sure I will be okay. I feel like I should train a bit before going to bed, think its a good idea..?')

I signed the entry and closed my journal, then held it in my hands for a bit before answering my own question. I put my journal back under my pillow and got dressed in my armor. It was white and pink, the shoulder blades were grey with a shiny finish with gloves to match. I honestly thought it was way too bland to wear, I decided to add my own touch. I removed the torso armor and replaced it with a white and pink kimono. Instead of the uncomfortable pants, I replaced them with a pastel pink skirt that reached my ankles. I added long white socks up to my knees and kept the shoulder pads and white gloves. I suited up and walked to the training side of the camp. It was raining outside so I walked a bit quicker. The clear drops landed on my hair and face and the ground was slippery, making it a bit trickier to get there. Putting my helmet on before walking into the wooden shack, I made sure I looked presentable just in case. There were three knights training already. One knight was drinking water, probably after working, and the other two were talking. Their chatter stopped when they noticed me.

I took a deep breath and walked over to the training dummies, picking up a bow and a couple of arrows. I needed to practice so what better thing to start with than the thing I struggle with. I held the bow correctly just like how I was taught and put an arrow next to the bow, but right before I was about to release it, I hear a booming voice behind me. "You're holding it wrong." I shook when they spoke, they startled me. As I was concentrated on the target, due to this, I accidentally let the arrow go and it hit the wooden plank holding up the training dummy. I turned around to see who was talking. It was a male holding his helmet, he looked about 14, with extremely pretty looking lips and brown hair, turning orange at its tips. He had light blue eyes, with brown skin. He chuckled when he noticed I was a bit nervous. "I'm Phoenix, And you are..?"

"Aiko," I mumbled, tapping on the tin of my helmet. He pulled up one of the chairs behind us, turning it backward and leaning on it. He looks at me with confusion, as he slightly tilted his head. "That's an unusual name for a boy." He stated, playing with his hair. I smiled at his response, getting this question all the time. "Well, um in my country we don't have gender-based names. All of our names are symbolic. Plus, it doesn't matter if I'm a girl or boy, you'd never know." I teased, crossing my arms as I was proud of that statement. "So what country are you from?" He slicked his hair back smiling. "Japan. Why?" I asked confused by his question. "Just asking." He shrugged.

Before I could say anything back, a purple knight and a green knight came in. The purple knight had horns on their helmet and white accents. They had puffy white sleeves and black stripes riding upwards until covered by their shoulder pads. They had a baggy, purple, and blacktop on, with a platinum triangle on their chest. There were zebra-like balls hanging off of the triangle, a belt wrapping around their waist, a cross held up by the belt that fell their ankles. Their pants were baggy as well matching their shirt, except it was gold with black stripes. The green night seemed to have a hanbok on They seemed to be preoccupied, talking and laughing with each other. I'm guessing they already hit it off.

Immediately, the purple knight grabbed a white bow held on their back and grabbed a white arrow from their pocket. The arrow seemed to be stained or painted with a dark purple in the front. They pulled back the arrow and released it, landing directly on the red dot. They let go a couple more arrows landing in the exact same place as the others, splitting each arrow every time. As I watched them shoot their last arrow, I saw a purple hue or smoke began to radiate off of them. When they shot the arrow, three purple bubbles went alongside it, popping as they clutched their fingers. Once the bubbles popped, the arrow moved faster, shooting through the target and shattering the wood in the process. The target exploded, purple bubbles surrounding it as it blew into a million pieces.

The other three knights who were already in here and I watched in awe as it began to rain wood chips after the explosion. I was about to ask what just happened, but I couldn't even catch my breath. The green knight ran at the dummy with what looked like the same hue or smoke radiating off the purple knight except it was green instead of purple. They grabbed their sword, also held on their back, and slashed the dummy once, the sword went completely through it, but nothing happened. The green knight took a step back before opening up their hand as wide as it could go then, they began to slowly ball their hand into a fist and I watched as the dummy began to shrivel. Then, they let go of their fist aggressively, and just like the target, the dummy popped. The shreds of feathers and pieces of the sack flew everywhere and the wind of both their explosions mixed together, making the room heat up. They both put their weapons away and gave each other a high five, and before I knew it, the two vanished. Green and purple smoke taking their place as the rest of us still stood in shock.
