The Anvil (11 page)

Tom
muttered
something
Zack
couldn
'
t
hear
then
started
creating
a
warrior
from
the
water
.
He
then
made
some
weapons
from
the
dirt
.
He
turned
to
Zack
and
said

Choose
your
weapon
.
Try
fighting
the
warrior
don
'
t
worry
it
can
'
t
hurt
you
,
it
'
s
water
.”
Zack
walked
over
to
the
weapons
and
got
a
sword
.
He
charged
at
the
water
warrior
and
went
right
through
him
.
Tom
laughed
and
said

As
I
said
it
'
s
water
,
so
you
can
'
t
hurt
it
either
.
Do
you
want
me
to
freeze
it
?”
Zack
nodded
and
looked
embarrassed
.

Tom
froze
the
warrior
and
asked
Zack

Do
you
want
a
shield
?”
Zack
nodded
and
said

Can
you
make
a
kite
shield
?”
Tom
made
the
shield
and
handed
it
to
Zack
.
Zack
looked
surprised
at
how
heavy
the
shield
was
but
he
decided
to
use
it
.
Zack
walked
over
to
the
ice
warrior
and
Tom
said

Start
.”
Zack
swung
his
sword
and
the
warrior
caught
it
on
it
'
s
shield
,
the
ice
cracked
slightly
.

The
warrior
swung
at
Zack
and
he
barely
but
up
his
shield
to
block
the
strike
,
the
blow
was
powerful
enough
that
the
ice
sword
broke
.
Zack
started
whacking
wildly
at
the
warrior
that
was
now
without
a
weapon
.
Soon
because
of
the
number
of
hits
the
ice
shield
broke
and
in
quick
succession
the
ice
warrior
was
shattered
.
Zack
was
breathing
heavily
and
Tom
clapped
a
bit
and
said

Nice
I
didn
'
t
expect
you
to
break
it
that
quickly
.
Now
it
is
my
turn
.”
Tom
molded
an
axe
and
round
shield
from
the
ground
and
another
ice
warrior
.

He
walked
over
to
it
and
swung
his
axe
the
warrior
put
up
it
'
s
shield
to
block
the
blow
and
the
axe
hit
it
,
shattering
the
shield
.
Tom
rammed
the
warrior
with
his
shield
cracking
the
warrior
badly
.
He
smashed
the
ice
warrior
'
s
chest
with
one
crushing
blow
.
Tom
released
the
water
and
it
started
to
melt
.
They
heard
Zack
'
s
mother
calling
them
for
dinner
.
Tom
let
the
earth
weapons
and
shields
melt
back
into
the
ground
.

They
washed
then
went
into
the
dining
room
.
They
started
eating
with
Zack
'
s
parents
and
brother
.
Zack
'
s
father
asked
Tom

So
who
are
your
parents
?”
Tom
swallowed
and
answered

I
don
'
t
think
you
know
them
,
they
live
in
Pine
Grove
.”
Zack
'
s
father
asked
Tom

Then
what
are
you
doing
here
in
Hilltop
Lake
?”
Tom
replied
saying

I
got
an
apprenticeship
.”
Zack
'
s
father
looked
curious
and
said

What
trade
are
you
learning
?”.
Tom
looked
him
in
the
eye
and
said

I
am
learning
to
be
a
Guardian
Dragon
,
my
master
is
Alex
.”
Zack
'
s
whole
family
looked
astonished
and
Zack
'
s
brother
said

I
don
'
t
believe
you
,
that
is
insane
.”
Tom
looked
in
his
cup
and
muttered
.

The
water
floated
out
of
the
cup
and
froze
in
midair
.
Tom
looked
at
all
their
faces
and
laughed
,
he
put
the
water
back
in
the
cup
and
said

Believe
me
now
?”
they
finished
eating
and
Tom
said

I
think
I
need
to
go
.
Thanks
for
dinner
.”
he
turned
and
walked
away
.
He
got
to
his
canoe
and
paddled
over
to
the
island
.
He
went
to
his
room
and
slept
.
He
woke
up
at
dawn
and
went
to
the
kitchen
to
get
breakfast
. “
Good
morning

said
Alex

Morning
.”
Tom
replied
sleepily
and
sat
down
with
his
breakfast
. “
Today
you
resume
training
again
.”
Alex
told
Tom
.

After
Tom
ate
his
breakfast
,
as
Alex
said
he
resumed
his
training
.
When
his
free
time
came
he
went
over
to
the
town
and
looked
for
Zack
.
He
found
Zack
at
the
blacksmith
'
s
shop
.
