Twilight of the Light
Chapter 3: Friends
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight and Arthas were being lead to the Cathedral by Muradin, one man who was standing there picked up a rock and threw it at Twilight “Get out of here, monster!”
Twilight began to cry as the rock hit her, Arthas gave her a hug “Are you okay?”
Tears fell down Twilight’s face as she whimpered “He called me a monster.”
Muradin grimaced as she stormed over to the man “Now listen tae me mister, I will not accept some random idiot like you insulting one of my students.”
The man glared at him “Well then dwarf what are you going to do about it?”
Muradin let out a dark chuckle “I am Muradin Bronzebeard, brother of King Magi Bronzebeard and you foolish assaulted Twilight someone who is not just my pupil but also the pupil of Uther the Lightbringer so I don’t think anyone will mind if I do this.”
The man began to run way in horror as Muradin pulled out his hammer which he threw at the man, it bounced off the man’s back before landing in Muradin’s hand, Muradin smiled “Let’s go.”
Twilight began to dry her tears “Thanks Arthas.”
Arthas grinned “Don’t worry about it, you are really strong and cool, you healed me with ease I wish I can do that.”
Twilight blushed lightly “It’s not that hard with practice you’ll be able to do it.”
Muradin laughed “You are really too modest, most Paladins can’t heal a wound like that until have had several years experience, you have a great amount of talent.”
Twilight face turned beetroot red “I’m nothing special.”
Arthas smiled “Are you kidding me, you knocked me out of a wall with a single blow.”
Twilight cried “I almost killed you.”
Arthas hugged her with a warm smile before they continued to follow Muradin “Twilight it was accident and you healed me afterwards, you are really cool don’t think otherwise.”
Twilight smiled as she dried her tears “Thanks Arthas I’m glad to have a friend like you.”
Arthas sighed “I don’t have many friends, many who are around me want to use me for my position rather than be my friend.”
Twilight shook her head “I promise on the light itself that no matter what happens I’ll stand by your side for good or ill. As long as I live you will never be alone.”
Arthas smiled warmly “Thanks Twilight.”
Twilight was smiled just as eagerly “You’re welcome.”
The two approached the Cathedral, Twilight now actually getting good look she saw the massive stone building with a blue slanted roof, two massive stone towers stuck out from the roof of the main part with blue roofs on each. Uther smiled as he walked out “Hello Twilight” he then turned to the boy “and you must be Arthas.”
Arthas nodded “Yes that’s me, I’m Arthas, can you teach how to use that healing power Twilight used on me.”
Uther frowned for a few moments (Twilight can already heal the injured, she has a lot of natural talent ) he then looked out the hopeful Arthas “It will take a lot of reading, are you sure you can do it?”
Arthas frowned “I don’t like reading” he then smiled “but I will if it means I can learn how to do all.”
Twilight smiled “I’ll help you, you’re one of the few who would consider me a friend.”
Arthas smiled “Great let’s get started.”
Uther smiled “Come with me, I’ll show you to the Library come on.”
Twilight galloped over to the holy books and found the Paladin’s full Prayer Book “This is the full version” she grabbed in her hooves and flew over to the table wear she placed it in front of Uther. Then she and Arthas took a seat at the table
Uther nodded “We are going to start” he then opened the book to the first page he lectured as he read from the book “Repeat after me We Paladins are part of a sacred order, we devote our lives to protect those weaker than ourselves, we also devote ourselves to punishing the unjust and the cruel who wish to bring harm to those we protect.”
Arthas and Twilight followed his instructions, We Paladins are part of a sacred order, we devote our lives to protect those weaker than ourselves, we also devote ourselves to punishing the unjust and the cruel who wish to bring harm to those we protect.
Uther nodded “Good now this one is equally important Follow the light, use it’s power to guide and protect those who need it, become an example for others to follow and become a beacon for all that is good.”
Arthas groaned “When are we going to learn how to use this stuff?”
Uther closed the book walked over to Arthas and hit him with the book “Patience is a virtue of any Paladin” he then walked over to the book as Arthas groaned.
Twilight sighed as she put a hoof on his head and healed the bruise on his head with the power of the light “Uther, I’m not sure hitting his head so hard his skull bruises is going help him learn. Maybe we shoudler call this lesson short and let me help him out a bit.”
Uther nodded “Maybe I should teach you and then you can teach him.”
Twilight shook her head “I just need him to get him to listen with a practical demonstration and the you can teach.”
Arthas frowned as Uther left the room, Arthas raised an eyebrow “He left.”
Twilight frowned “You learn better from a practical example and I thought maybe showing you what you can do maybe better, note I’m not sure what the effects of prayers are. Also learning more prayers will strengthen the effects of you ablities.”
Twilight’s body glowed with golden light as she recited We Paladins are part of a sacred order, we devote our lives to protect those weaker than ourselves, we also devote ourselves to punishing the unjust and the cruel who wish to bring harm to those we protect.
Arthas repeated the prayer only for nothing to happen, Twilight shook her head “Repeated practice and devotion to the cause will allow you to wield light as I do, I have a gift for this that’s my only reason for why I am so good at it but if you listen and apply yourself.”
Twilight recited another prayer Follow the light, use it’s power to guide and protect those who need it, become an example for others to follow and become a beacon for all that is good.
Arthas blinked as he felt a warm aura wrap around his body “Wow.”
Twilight frowned “I believe this is called the aura of devotion which increases the effectiveness of allies armour.” Twilight then told him “This is another one I’ve learned.” Follow the light, use it’s power to guide and protect those who need it, become an example for others to follow and become a beacon for all that is good.
Twilight blinked as a shield surrounded her body “What is this?”
Uther walked in “That is called Divine shield and protects you from all damage for a short time” he then smiled “Twilight I’m glad your helping him, you are a good friend.”
Arthas hugged her “Thank you Twilight for being a good friend.”
Twilight smiled “It’s nothing, I’m just glad to have a friend like you.”
