*CLANG!* *CLANG!*
"HYA!" Shouts and Yells are heard all over inside the fortress's training ground, Swords and Shields colliding making the sound echoes through the fields, Sweat are seen all over the mens faces. Several men are seen fighting with swords, axe and spear. Some even fought unarmed.
What's happening right now is the training ground of the fortress.
Here they train their soldiers to guard the fortress, they are train on how to wield weapons, hand to hand combat and assassination. This fortress is not any normal fortress but this is western's main fortress. They have 2 fortress the border and watchtower.
First is the Border they call it the border because the fortress is place near the center of the 4 continents borders. It's also a place where trained soldiers are mainly positioned, many veterans starts here and will be examined to be part of the Watchtower's training program.
Second is the Watchtower it is called as this because the fortress was place at the side of mountain and when you look at the land from that place you will see anything from the distance. It's purpose is as exactly the name of the fortress to watch and also to watch over other fortresses, and also this is where the examined soldiers are to be trained again.
The training program it's purpose is to give test, mission and daily challenges for those Veterans, and if they wish they are also taught more techniques, training and skills, and they have a training ground to practice their acquired knowledges.
Because of the 2 fortress being so close to the borders of East, North and South continent. They are promoted by the Western King to be the main fortress who guards the borders while also building other sub branches on other regions.

<Watchtower, 10:05>
"Hey kid! watch out!" an arrow flew right to Dion's head.
Dion fearfully closed his eyes but the incoming impact hadn't come, he opened his eyes and sees the arrow had been stop by George with his hand. The arrow was so close it was touching his skin.
George angered by what happened thought to torture the man who almost killed his son.
"Who's arrow is this?" he said with his deep, cold voice.
Everyone at the field gulps from nervousness and all the sweats in their faces started sweating more, their complexion started getting pale.
Because they knew that someone from them almost killed the Leader's son. They all started pointing on a guy who is the only guy from the field who wields a bow.
"Dion, I will be back you can play however you want" said George.
"Everyone I want all of you to know that no harm will must befall my son!" said George who breaks the arrow in half.
""SIR YES SIR"" everyone answered desperately.
"Good!, You! office" George turns around and walks away.
The guy followed immediately even though he knows he will be tortured but at least it's not death right.
Dion like nothing happened started grabbing one from the sword rack, he lifted it high but to no avail because of it's weight he fell forward with the sword, he stands up and wield it again, it's more of a child pulling a sword from a different perspective.
All the veterans in the field stopped their sparring a while ago and started watching Dion, few of them were smiling faintly because of the child's antics and the rest were nervous that he might get hurt.
Dion who is now dragging the sword from the ground, starting to get tired as he feel the weight of the sword, he begins to think that his arms are still small and weak, he drops the sword and started exploring instead.
The men too thought that Dion got tired of playing with something sharp and they all got back to sparring but a little more restrained this time.
.....
Dion is now top of the fortress's roof, he walks all over the place and got bored again.
He has already explored all the fortress rooms, even though the fortress was big but for Dion he explored it in one day. Every time he goes here with his Dad there's nothing much, sure there is a big training field but that's it, the rest are bathrooms and office.
Dion can get easily bored anything can bores him except his family and food nothing has ever given him excitement.
'Adventure?' Is that what people says when they get bored and wants something, I kinda like that word Adventure. But adventure means you will have to go outside and explore right? what about Mom and Dad what will happen to them if I travel?
Our Dion is still young, he can't leave his parents that easily but even so the word adventure sprouted slowly in his heart.
....
"Where is Dion?" asked by George to his men.
"He went inside and explored again" said by the man with a spear.
George walks to the direction where Dion always enter to explore but suddenly Dion appears.
"Having fun?" said George with a questioning look
"Dad I'm bored" said Dion with a bored look
"Is that so, me too" said George.
...
<Wednesday Morning, 4:30>
A carriage made it's way to the bottom of the mountain, this carriage is George's.
Dion right now is sleeping inside the carriage because of tiredness, and how tired was he?. In the fortress he wants to pastime so he played tag with the 4 men. The 4 men was the only people who is friendly at the training ground and the rest were so battle maniac they ignored the kid.
And so they played but the result he never found one it was like a ghost town inside. But even so as he is the competitive type he tried to find clues, smell and sound of footsteps.
After all that his young body gave up on him, he fell down and asleep in the floor. The men that he was playing with came out of the shadows like ninjas.
"Poor kid why did we have to hide like that" said ?
"It's Jerry's plan, should we tell Leader?" said ?
"What come on guys don't sell me out!" said Jerry.
"Just because he punished you, that doesn't mean you have the right to take revenge to his kid" said ?
"No that's not, I didn't mean to take revenge" said Jerry with his now pale complexion.
The 3 caught the escaping Jerry and he was punished yet again. While Dion was picked up by one of the men and carried him to the carriage.
George and Dion then went home.
Suddenly got inspiration and I think I improved a little.
