Swords of Legend

"Daryl, you didn't have to come to the tournament with me."
Keith and Daryl had retired to their room for the night.
"You idiot." Daryl conked Keith on the head. "What kind of friend would I be to you and Aerial if I didn't help out with things like this?"
"Yeah but, somebody needs to take care of her." This remark drew another conk on the head from Daryl.
"She's a year older than me, and I take care of myself just fine, stupid! Stop worrying about me and your sister and start worrying about yourself for a change!"
"But you've never fought in a tournament before..."
Daryl grabbed Keith in a headlock and gave him a noogie. "I kick your ungrateful butt all the time! I should be able to hold my own just fine out there!"
"Okay, I get it. I just wanted to give you this so you'd be alright." Kaith wormed out of the headlock and reached into his bag, pulling out a scabbard.
"Huh? A sword? I don't know how to use one of those!"
"This isn't an ordinary sword." Keith unsheathed it to reveal a gleaming short sword. The blade was curved and the hilt was in the shape of a gazelle.
"It's the Sword of Reflex, and one of the Swords of Legend. I figured you could use it's powers better than myself."
"Woah. This is crazy." Daryl held it and admired his beauty. "My own Sword of Legend, just like you."
"Yes, just like me. Except this one is different." Keith threw a pillow at Dary. It missed; Daryl had dodged so quickly that Keith's trained eyes could barely follow. Keith grinned.
"Woah."
"Yes, woah."

Light entered his inn room and closed the door, locking it behind him. He then walked over to his bed and began to change into his night clothes. As he did, he gently laid his Sword of Fire on the bed beside him. The rogue prince laid down when he was ready for sleep, his sword laying within arms reach. Light had to chuckle a bit as he thought of how he had come across this certain Sword of Legend. It had been sent to him as a wedding present from his soon to be bride. Unfortunately, Light had other plans for the sword besides protecting the woman who desired him. Ah well, those days were past and he was now free to do as he pleased. The tournament tomorrow was just the start.

And ye, he doth spoke, it was the day of the tournament. There was a large crowd of people. It wasn't extremely huge crowd, seeing that it was only a qualifier tournament. It was some time before the first battle, so the contestants all gathered in the waiting room, and got to chat.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vinulin sat in the room, sitting on the bed, glancing at the contestants. Competition looked tough this year, but he knew he could handle it.

Light was leaning against the wall, resting his head, eyes closed. On the inside, he was pretty excited that the prelims had actually come. Though he chose to retain his calm demeanor.

"Yo." Light opened his eyes to see Daryl standing in front of him. "Yeah, I'm talkin' to you. Don't just stand there all sleepy and boring. Talk to somebody! Join a conversation! Honestly, you're almost as bad as my friend." Daryl pointed over his shoulder at Keith, who was in the same leaning-against-the-wall-eyes-closed position that Light had been. Except Keith made it look cooler.
"Get off the freakin' wall, ya lazy bum!" Daryl shouted at Keith. "Honestly, is everyone here this boring?!?" Daryl looked around the room to see that nearly everyone had assumed the leaning-against-the-wall-eyes-closed position. Daryl threw his hands up in exasperation and proceeded to walk around the room telling everyone get the hell up. "Hey, you..."

Light's eye twitched as Daryl walked away from him to shout at everyone else in turn. He'd been called boring. Well, who ever said that he had to entertain these people in the first place? It was true that he would be indirectly entertaining the crowd when he fought, but that was a different matter. This person, meaning Daryl, obviously didn't have any idea what was really boring. "Try sitting on a throne for nine hours a day and doing nothing but looking over paperwork the entire time, then tell me that it's not boring.", Light muttered, not wanting to attract Daryl's attention again.

"Daryl?"
"Yeah?"
"Be quiet, you're annoying the other competitors."
Daryl mumbled something under his breath and fell silent as Keith began to apologize to everyone.

Bored, Daryl assumed the leaning-against-the-wall-eyes-closed position."I don't see what the big deal is-" He was cut off when he fell asleep in mid-sentance.

For now the only people stopping at his stand were locals and travlers to the tunrament. He wouldn't see any of the contestents until later once they've fought at least afew times. It was still early so busness was abit slow but would pick up later on. His rolled up cloth was leaning up nearby.

Liz looked around, her stall was set up and it was about time for her to go. She covered up her things, which was mostly wheat and fresh fruits and vegies (She had already sold a few of these).
She looked at the stall next to her and walked over to the stall holder (Kuri) "Hi, I don't mean to be a bother, but y\would you be able to watch the stall for me while I'm gone. You don't have to sell anything just keep an eye out for theives." She asked him.

"Sure I don't mind. How long will you be gone?"

A few moments later, Light found that perhaps the person now sleeping against the wall did have somewhat of a point. All of the contestants, including himself, had been waiting for quite a while and the main event still had not started. He found that he himself was actually bored of waiting and the thought of napping did appeal to him. "Eh... What am I saying? I'm sure that this prelim will begin soon. I mean, they wouldn't make us wait all day... right?", he thought to himself.

"Truth be told, I'm not sure. I'm in the tournament see, so it really depends on how long the fights will take." Liz explained. "I best hurry though, I don't really want to miss the start, I'll come back whenever I can though, and thank you" She continued befor running off to the waiting room.
Pratically everyone was leaning against the wall when she entered, one contestant had even fallen asleep. It seems that I didn't need to run after all.

"Dang it! what's taking so long?" yelled Artemis as the wait was making her impatient as she sat in the stands waiting.

Light yawned, raising a hand to his mouth to stiffle the noise.

"What is the hold-up? Are they stalling or something?", he asked.
