1 Blalfazor's School Of Battle

The feeling of being struck by a club was a regular feeling at Blalfazor's school of battle. I've been

attending it for well over four years and there brutal techniques have not changed once. At this

school you were ether good at fighting or you weren't and I was one of those people who

weren't . Even though I had been at the best fighting school in the country for over 4 years.

Every night I trained but could never master even the most simplest of moves. It was like I wasn't

meant for fighting, or anything in fact. Even though this school mainly focused on fighting the

teachers said that traditional teaching was still important. So after getting based and bruised all

morning we had to do three lessons after that, at least there was no homework.

Two weeks later we started learning how to use a sword. Let me tell you it is just as hard as the

pike! Still I tried to use it and after a while I got decently good at it but not as good as some.

''Hut'' our master shouted, we all struck our pieces of wood in unison, the same thing happened

a few times and then we switched attacks, then we did the same. The room I was in was tall and ancient.

The echoes of wood hitting wood after wood was irritatingly deafening. The roof embowed at the top creating grand arches. Two giant stained windows sat at either ends of the room with lots of small ones with

the great fighters on them. On the four biggest ones there are people like in the smaller ones but

they were in royal colours a magnificent clothing. No one knew who they were, even the teachers (or so they say).

Later on we were told to put our new learnt skills to the test.(Although I forgot most of mine.) At the centre of the hall, the master

put down a large black matt and gave us all wooden swords. As I was clearly the worst in here I

was put at the back of the line. The way that they did theses 'skill tests' was that the teacher was

at one end of the mat and at first we attack and they defend then we defend and they attack.

After everyone went it was my turn to fight. I stepped up to the mat shaking...
