I have to admit, however, that not all of them viewed me as an associate. Some of them were flirting openly, and I even suspected that the entire squad had plunged into some hidden rivalry over my heart. It seemed that Soren was in the lead – he had already come twice to propose. He was clearly one of the leaders, always determined and persistent, and at some point I even felt respect for him.

And now, he was darting adoring glances at me, which made me shiver. Should expect some matchmakers to come my home again!

“Wow! Can I get a look?”

“Hey, I want to see it, too. Don’t keep it too long, pass it over here”

The blades went circulating from hand to hand, each time met with exclamations.

“This is Truvle the blacksmith’s work! Look, here is the seal,” someone said. “It’s definitely him!”

Now they all turned to me with their eyes full of respect.

“Ricka, where did you get these?” Luz asked, holding up the weapon that finally fell into his hands, and not even trying to conceal his admiration.

“Got from Truvle for birthday,” I smiled getting embarrassed for some reason.

The crowd buzzed with approval, once again discussing the metal and the balancing that was unmatched.

Truvle’s stuff was well known here, he made swords for all the commanders in the garrison, while youngsters could only dream of it.

“Can’t even imagine how I’m going to fight you now! Compared to your blades we got tins,” another guard, Sith, said.

The guys laughed, while someone even clapped me on the shoulder.

“It’s not about the weapon that makes the warrior, but the skill!” Yoos’s voice sounded out of the blue right over our heads. “And I can’t remember ordering any rest! Daggers back to the girl! Everyone ready for training!” he shouted at the crowd that was dissolving rapidly.

A second later, I stood completely alone, with my weapon pressed hard in my hands.

“Okay, well… Well, show me what Truvle has conjured this time,” he said, coming closer.

I unfastened the daggers and handed them to him… But already next instant I froze with my jaw dropping down to me feet. The old warrior was doing something that went far beyond my imagination! The blades were spinning in his strong much-practiced hands. They were sparkling in a movement that my eyes could barely catch, which turned the two silhouettes in the air into two spheres.
