• 'Master...' Kara replied as he looked upon the gates to the kingdom.
    *Yes?* She replied calmly, almost hesitant to order the two patrolling guards to open the gate for them. 'The guards...-'
    *Kara listen closely, pull the hood over your head and shield your eyes from passersby, follow my heels closely. Understood?* Kara remained quiet, only to pull his hood over his eyes. He nodded lightly, confirming to his master that he heard her words. *Good.*

    Completely ignoring the guards that stood on both sides of the gates, she pushed the two metal gates open with little effort on her part. *Follow* 'Yes.' Looking down at his masters heels, Kara followed close, listening to the commoners on the street. 'That's her...Naomi, she fought alongside his majesty!'

    After walking for sometime his master finally stopped. *It's okay now, remove your hood.* 'Yes.'
    With a slightly hesitant response he did as he was told only to find that instead of being in the kings throne room...they were in the courtyard.

    'Ah! Naomi! It's good to see you again! You have not aged a bit!'
    *The same cannot be said for you....my king.* Naomi grinned.

    'Ah your humor has not changed since the good ol days. What fun!' The king replied as he clapped his hands to signal his guards to enter the room. 'Down to business!' He smiled. 'This is him, yes?' His voice bellowed out as he pointed to Kara, 'To truly see what your teachings has accomplished, we will let him spar with the commander of my army. A veteran of these harsh and unforgiving times.' An arrogant grin could be seen on this kings face, this only made Naomi laugh.

    *Kara...do not kill this commander, in fact...do not let his blade make contact.*
    Kara began to smile, to him, this was an activity that was relaxing 'Yes master...can I strike back?'
    *But of course!'
