A/N: it's a start if the new month, it's April 1st Kwazzi's favorite holiday, Kwazzi maybe a knight but he loves to pull pranks on the villagers, every prank he has done are harmless, he doesn't want to hurt anyone, everyone loves him, Kwazzi has new pranks every year sometimes he pulls some old pranks, -after 4 hours of pranks-
Kwazzi finished his rest of the day with training the rookies who want to become knights, Lee and Kwazzi have been close friends since childhood, Kwazzi, Lee and Paani, their friendship started off great, the one thing Kwazzi, Lee, Barnacles and Dashi didn't know
Is that Paani secretly training on his own to become a knight, when he was six years old, he always dreamed of becoming a knight to protect himself, his twin sister and other people, but his parents told him it's just a waste of time, they wanted him to run the family business making and fixing weapons,
Guns, swords, shields, bombs, cannons, etc,
Paani had a knack for it, but for him becoming a knight is a dream, so he would secretly practice his skills without his parents knowing, his sister found out about it but she never said anything about it to their parents, when she died Paani was left alone with his cruel parents,
It's been three months since he left home, now the son of the King and Queen, the prince and future King, -at the castle training grounds-
After Paani's lessons on some history of the nine Kingdoms, right now he's just watching the rookies, Kwazzi and Lee training,
*do I really have the chance to become a knight?* he asked himself, he left with a sad face, flashback:"you will never become a knight" "your pathetic" "it's just a waste of time" "your going to run the family business wether you want to or not" *I will never go back there again*
As he walked down the halls looking sad, unaware that someone I watching him, ???:"hey you alright" Paani:"?!...Lee!" Lee:"you ok Paani you look conflicted and stressed"
Paani;"I'm fine 😊" ???:"your lying",
Paani:"!!!....Kwazzi?!" Kwazzi:"Paani what's really going on everyone noticed your behavior in the training grounds"
Paani:"😔......all I ever dreamed about was a knight, but my parents didn't want me to, the wanted me to take over the family business, they said it's just a waste of time, we were know for making and fixing weapons of any kind, I did have a knack for it but my dream of becoming a knight turning that dream into reality was something I was destined for,
After my sister committed suicide a few months ago, I left home, traveling from village to village, helping others how to hunt fish, hunting fish became a stress relief hobby, no I don't know wether to give up on becoming a knight or keep chasing it"
Lee:"your dream can come true Paani"
Kwazzi:"come with us you can show us what your made off" -at the training grounds-
Paani takes off his crown and jacket, only had a short sleeve shirt, his pants and shoes, everyone is shocked that he had bruises and old scratches and scars,
Paani grabbed a sword, it was him vs Kwazzi,
Kwazzi made the first move, but Paani moved quickly, and striking Kwazzi from behind, Kwazzi fell to the floor, Kwazzi:"Not bad...but is it enough" Kwazzi and Paani swords clashing, clicking, clanging as they spare, somehow Paani was slightly better than Kwazzi,
Kwazzi liked the challenge, Paani dodging, kicking, and punching, Kwazzi and Paani also sparing physically not just with swords, little did they know the King and Queen were watching everything, -after that- Kwazzi, Lee, Barnacle, Dashi and the rookies were astonished, amazed, wowed, surprised and shocked, for what just happened,
Kwazzi:"where did you learn how to fight and sword fight like this" Paani:"I would practice secretly on my own back home at the third Kingdom, we'll it was my home, the villagers over there told me to escape and find a new place to call home, I know they miss me and I miss them, my parents didn't know that I was practicing to be a knight, and practicing physical combat skills, my sister was only one who knew about it"
Barnacles: "then why not become the knight you've always dreamed off" Paani;"!!!...MOM...DAD!...how much did you see? and hear?"
Dashi:"well Lee told us about what happened, while your sparring with Kwazzi, what you told him and Kwazzi earlier" Paani;"💢💢...LEE!"
Lee:"uh oh" Paani chases Lee, "Come back here you punk ass jerk!" -5 minutes later-
Lee ended up having a black eye
everyone:🥲😭😂😓😅*scary*, Barnacles:"so Paani do you want to be a knight" Paani🤩
Dashi:"we'll take that as a yes"
Barnacles:"then it's settled then, not only you will study on becoming the future king of this Kingdom, and study the history of the nine kingdoms, you can also be the knight you always dreamed of doing, to protect yourself, your family, your friends and others"
Panni was excited about him becoming a knight like he always dreamed of, he vowed to protect others, his family and, his friends, he will do everything and anything to keep them safe.
