October, 2011

  The was dim as their Astronomy teacher Mrs. Heart talked about the photos on the projector. It irit week and the whole school was dressed up in crazy hats. Collin wore a court jester hat and he shared this css with Wyatt, his teammate had on a Viking hat and a beard. When Wyatt colpsed 5 days ago at Dion's everybody was worried and after that Wyatt said it was a stomach cramp. But he khe truth and was grateful Helena didn't do worse, they couldn't afford Wyatt being a benchwarmer.

  What happe Dion's Diner wasn't a normal stomach ache. Helena was using her powers to read people's minds. Apparently, Wyatt was thinking inappropriate things about Helena and she lost her cool. She was so fast that nobody realized what really happened, even halflings were this powerful?

  Collin quickly thought about the Bde movies and frowned. A vampire and a succubus are pretty simir, they both have special abilities and hate sunlight.

  In that mythology book he got it said that an Incubus and Succubus have a rare skill and that's Dream Manipution. Oddly enough, Collin did dream about Helena st night and they were pying at the park. He also learhat Xenovia isn't the only kingdom. There were 5 kingdoms and eae was ruled by a different creature.

  "Okay!" Mrs. Heart announced as she flicked on the lights. "I'll be passing out a fill-in-the-bnks worksheet."

  3 hours ter, Collin was getting his butt-whooped ihe castle's training grounds. His oppo was Captain Irving and they were practig sword-py. Collin was given a uniform with the crest of Xenovia and glove bandages by Bethany. When he swung his sword the Captain easily parried his attack, he twisted and sshed sideways. The man dodged and kicked Collin on his backside before stabbing him in the leg.

  He cursed and limped back, the wound quickly healed as he wiped away the blood. On the sidelines several guards watched, including Sparky, who looked happy. Captain Irving dashed towards Collin to strike him down. The attack was very intense as he blocked it, but in one swift motion the sword flew outta his hand.

  "You have basid-to-hand bat skills," Captain Irving expined. "But ck traditional ons training."

  Collin's clothes were torn and his body was sore. All the wounds on his skin were gone thanks to his healing ability, while the Captain was talking he quickly pulled up his stats.

  [ Name: Collin Saint Rex

  Race: Human

  Sex: Male

  Blood type: AB +

  Title: Maveribsp;

  Training Points: 57 ]

  He found out his limit was 5-7 quests per day and the training points range from 2-10. In a week or two Collin should be able to level up as he got to his feet. Sihese clothes were dark the sweat and blood stains weren't obvious, but he felt unfortable and took off his shirt. When Collin flexed he was surprised. He knew he was fit, but now his muscles were more solid. When was the st time Collin checked his weight css?

  "Get ready, you lot!" Captain Irving shouted. "Who's going to spar with Collin?"

  Silence.

  The Captain scowled. "Remember the princess is watg."

  Everybody spoke at once as Sparky shoved his way through the crowd. The elf guard uhed his on and marched over, he was dressed simir.

  "No," Captain Irving's voice was ced with pt. "This is a hand-to-hand match."

  Sparky's grin ged to a sneer as he tossed his sword. "Fine, show me what you got little Maverick."

  When they heard the horn Collin and Sparky rushed at one another. He was able to dodge his oppo's pund terattack with a kick, but Sparky blocked his strike.

  Later that night, Collin and Rafhael went to the roller rink for their date. There was music pying and disco lights as they held hands and skated around. He wao talk about his day with his boyfriend, but knew he couldn't.

  "Is it fun being ara in Tv shows and movies?" Collin asked.

  Rafhael smiled. "It be. During a se, we had to dump a dozen bath bombs into a pool. I also had to chase a cat out a window and oime we did a food fight."

  An hour ter, they go to the Megaplex and buy tickets to see Real Steel. Its a boxing movie about robots. After getting drinks and a bunch of snacks from the food court Collin haheir tickets to the employee.

  "Thanks," Collin kissed Rafhael on the cheek as they walked down the hall.
