James had been acelling in his training and now moved at a speed of which, not only was he able to avoid all of Nathaniel's attacks, but he was also able to land a few of his own. After he proved that Nathaniel Was no match for him, William took his place.
"Some things have come up, so I won't hold back...You beat me and your training is done, we need you to be able to fight well, and soon" William got out his weapon, but he also through the Jaggetana to James.
"What about the whole 'I'll stab your eye out deal?" James was being sarcastic.William said nothing, he merely raised his destromess and poised for battle.
"Oh, I'm gonna win this!" James was ecstatic.He ran head on straight at william.
"first mistake!" William side stepped james with amasing speed, much faster than Nathaniel, and busted James's jaw with the destromess, and then the weapon became powerless. All it was now was a regular mace.
James panted as he struggled to regain composure, "...Ow!!" he yelled as he rubbed his jaw.
"Don't be such a baby!" spoke max as she walked by him, "now, you took the hit, to the face I might add, with the destromess and survived, not to mention staying concious. So now, all you need to do is hit me once...that's it, and then you're done."
"piece of cake!" James yelled as he ran at her,but she had vanished.
"Oh, that's nice!" She signalled from on top of a tree, "you're so willing to hit a girl!!" She started laughing. He began to climb the tree, but by the time he had reached the top she had already moved three roofs away. She drew her weapons and held fast to her position.
James jumped from the tree and moved toward her, "finally you stop running from me."
"If you don't pass..I kill you." she stopped smiling, "My arubi weapon doesn't have any really good abilities, because I don't need them, Your weapon won't stray my strikes!"
James stopped advancing, he hadn't comprehended what may happen should he fail. Then a voice entered his mind 'Can't hurt what you can't hit' it had said.
Suddenly Max was right in front of him and she swung her blade, that was in her right hand, but James grabbed it, and then tapped her on the shoulder, "I guess I pass" he said.

Joseph woke up to a new day, as he stood to stretch his aching muscles, he came to realize that he wasn't in the small alley that he had gone to sleep in. He looked for and then grabbed his sword and looked around to see who it was that had brought him there.No one was there, all that he could find was a large noting that said "A god is he whom controls the powers of the sun."
He saw a cave outside of a window and he cut his way out of the house. He felt as though someone or something was drawing him into the cave. It felt more like something, He walked to the cave to find a small cavernous light that shined down on a small dagger that was pierced in the same manner as the weapon he now held. He grabbed its hilt and he felt a surge of energy go through his entire body. So he quickly tore the dagger from the stone and did not hesitate to leave the cavern with great haste. He ran in the direction of which he saw the town, but when he got there, everything was moving in slow motion, "I do not want everything to be slow like this.." he said. And then suddenly as though his word was law, the time sped up to normal..."Whoa!" he said, "I could get used to this."
He decided to look at the blade, to look for special writings, and of course, there they were. "The blade of the God-King of Arcana, his soul and his powers were embedded in this blade. Only he who first wields this blade will survive its use, until the day he dies." Joseph read, "Now that is my kinda weapon!"
