Peace

"....ke up.....ake up... WAKE UP!!" I jolted awake and looked around for someone but no one's there... Hm, that's strange maybe it was a dream, I thought and shrugged it off. "Well im awake now I might as well get up" I got out of bed and made my way to the kitchen for breakfast.

"Good morning!" my mom said smiling at me "don't you look worse for wear".

"Good morning" I sat down to eat "Did you call me a second ago?"

"Yell for you? No, I've been fixing breakfast for you and your brother, he's due back any time now, why?" she says.

"Oh its nothing must be my imagination..." It seemed to vivid to be a dream.... my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a horse walking outside.

"Sounds like Isaac's home, I know you admire him but try not to tackle him this time" she says with a grin

I stopped eating and immediately ran out the door to greet my brother. I could see him riding towards the house on his horse, as he climbed off I ran to him "Isaac!" I shouted, but once he got off the horse I noticed him wincing in pain, "What happend?!" I put my arm around him to help stabilize him.

"Oh, just some monster's" after he said that I realized his arms where covered in bandages. "C'mon let's get back to the house" I said concerned.

Once we arrived at the house Isaac told us about what happened. Apparently a large group of monsters ambushed him.

"The monsters have become more active lately it's starting to worry me... Anyway I guess I'm lucky I got off with only this" he exclaimed.

"That is a little worrisome, you need to be extra careful from now on ok?" mom said.

"Alright mom, but somebody's gotta go out there and make sure that they don't attack the village and most of the people here are too young, old, or weak to do it, so that just leaves me" he looked over at me and saw my obvious annoyance "What are you so angry about pip squeak?"

"Starting today I want you to train me to be an adventurer, then I can go with you on your excursions and we'll protect each other so things like this don't happen again"

"It might be a good idea but I don't know if you'll be able to keep up" he teases.

"Hey give me a little credit I am your brother after all"

"Well I suppose it wouldn't hurt, it wont be anything fancy, but at least you'll be able to defend yourself."

"Yes! I'll grab my sword and head to the training area" in reality your "sword" was a sharpened stick that was more of a spear than anything. "I'll meet you at the training grounds" you run out the door.
