It was the next day, Jack was dreaming again about the broken down church, and the sword in the stone, this time he was in the church, he knew it was the same person as before when he began speaking, he was seeing what the man was seeing, the same scene as before, he finally walked up to the pedestal, like before, he grab it very tightly, this time it was pulling out of it, but the dream didn't last, he heard some one talking, mumbling something "....wake up.....time to....wake up" the church disappeared, he was spinning, as he left the church, the man had it half way out, but like the dream before, he got shocked half way across the room. He waked up with a shock, no one was in his room, and he thought someone was waking him up. Something did wake him up, it was very annoying to him, it was coming from the other side of the door, he was ready to head out and see what it was when he noticed clothes in the open closet, it came with a note, it said "be prepared for anything" he took this note serious, he wore the knights outfit, strangely enough, it did not come with armor, only the boots were there, only to protect his feet he thought, once he got it on, he set out
He opened the door to the hallway, looking for the noise, he could here it to the right, so he opened the right side door, to his surprise, it was open, and soon enough, he heard louder than ever "wake up, wake up" he looked around, the room was big, it could hold up a giant in this room. There where gadgets and gizmos that Jack had never seen this many. There were golden string hanging on a little machine, there were hats that made bunnies get pulled out ever time, anything a wizard had, and he had. Finally there beside the wizards red bed, was the noise, it came from a bird "wake up, wake up" it said on and on again "ok am awake' he shouted. It was no use, it keep on repeating itself. He thought to himself, how he could get the bird to shut up. The first thing he thought was magic! And there it stood the wizards wand, he picked it up, looking at it for a moment, and did what anyone would do, waved it around the bird. The wand flew out sparks in the to and hit the bird, the bird grew a circle in his chest, the bird still said the same words "wake up, wake up" the bird suddenly got warped into the circle, on the other side of the the circle, came a big red dragon. He gives out a deadly roar, and fire came out of his month. Jack stood back near the walls, cowering. What would he do? He would die that was certain, but something fell on him, it was a bronze shield, something else was coming at him, without thought, he grab the shield and hide his face, he heard a bang, he looked at his shield, it was a bronze sword, were did it come from, he did not care, he toke it out of the shield and tried to defend himself. He got into the swordsmen fighting stance, strangely enough, it felt a connection of some kind. The room changed and Jack was in a lava place, he had full armor, and was running towards the dragon, he jumped on the dragon's back, he was shocked that he could jump that high. Even weirder, he didn't know what he was doing; it was like someone was controlling him. As fast as he could he trusted the bronze sword into the dragon's back, the dragon give out a scream of terror. He stapped the dragon 4 times, finally the dragon went down, screaming in terror, after that he was back in the room, back to his old clothes, the dragon had disappeared, and in its placed stood a round machine with numbers, a arrow was pointing to 12:00, he knew this had to be a clock, but it was so small. In the castle town were he lived, there was a big clock on top of the exit, it always said these numbers that he didn't understand why arrows were pointing to them. The clock on the ground, seemed broken, a bunch of parts were showing. He stopped for a moment, were was the wand. "tisk tisk, I will have to get a new clock, oh that was my favorite to" said a quiet voice, Jack turned around, it was the wizard. "Sir, I... I didn't mean to couldn't get it to stop, and I tried to get it to stop by using magic then this dragon appeared and" Jack told him fastly, he was interrupted " it is quit all right, I sometimes have problems Turing it off too, although I certainly never transformed it into a dragon though" the wizard told him, the wizard looked at him, gazing at the sword and shield he had in his hands "ahh you have found you training weapons I see, and your apretance clothes, excellent, so without further ado, lets began" Jack stopped him and said " what, why was that bird saying wake up so many times" "ahh" he said "it was my magical alarm clock, unfountly I haven't got all the bugs out of it yet. So without further ado, follow me" he followed the wizard down the long hallway, and into one of the 20 or so rooms he had. The room was made of steel, it was different then all the other rooms, it was empty; the only thing it had been one of the dummies used back at the castle for the knights training. "ok now step up to Wain the dummy there and we will get started" the wizard said. So he did as he was told, he was waiting for orders, when he heard the wizard say "alizzam" as soon as he said that, the dummy moved, he didn't walk, the dummy just standed there still, moving his arms, head, and looking at Jack " now unlike real knight training, were going to actually fight the dummy, it's a better way of getting training, at least this is my way" the wizard told him "why do you call him Wain" he asked "oh its an inside joke you see, one of my former pals was named Wain, and he sometimes acted stupid in his younger years, too bad about him though, rest his soul" the wizard said "what happened to him" Jack asked "well after are wizarding training together, we grew apart from each, hadn't heard from him for decades, in till one day I heard him protecting, well.....we can talk about that later, for now try and fight this dummy, I am going to active him for real now, stand your ground" the wizard said the wizard said the same words as before with his wand, expect with more of zzs in it. The wizard made the dummy more violent, so Jack had to act quickly, he pulled out his sword and shield from his back and trusted his sword at the dummy, it only hurt him a little it seems, he then did a vertical slice several times "good good Jack, a few more times" the wizard told him. He kept on slicing the dummy, he noticed his little armor was coming apart, when he had the chance, because of the dummy trying to hit him in the chest, he aimed for the head that was shaped like a scarecrow head, and the head fell off, he was right on target, but something was wrong, it was still moving "what" Jack said. It was impossible, the head was jumping around like it had springs in the bottom of him, he tried to hit it, but the dummies head would always dodge it. The dummy tried to attack him, so he pushed his shield against him, and saw the dummy was stunned, he toke this chance to attack it, and it worked, but it was not dead, it split into two, and he thought that if it worked with the first time, why not the second. He did the same tactic like before, slice and shield, in time destroyed the head and the dummy was dead. "Reparo" the wizard said. The dummy suddenly repaired itself, and went back into the position it had been in before they came in. Jack checked to see if it was still alive, poking it with his sword "no don't worry, he's back to being a dummy again, ahh wain always has new moves each time you fight him, just like death boy" the wizard said "death boy?" he asked "ah well that was he's nickname, we both have one, I would tell you mine, but it would reveal too much" he told him "what about the story" Jack ask." the story? Oh right, right, lets go to my living quarters and I tell you that is if you can handle right, are you ready, I thought it would be awhile before you get to asking me this" he said "yes am ready, I been ready my whole life" he yelled
"Then lets go shall we" the wizard said
So they went, down the long hallway to be he'd been before. In his living room was a bunch of pictures, they must be of passed wizards Jack thought to himself, next to one of the pictures, was a big fireplace that had stuff of value. They sat and the wizard talked "ok, long ago, a Sword was made, a sword of great power, unlike most swords, this sword is said to belong to one man, and one man only. It was so great that it was hidden, to protect New Fair.

"Years passed, and so did the story, me traveled all over new fair to get it, many failed, some were not heard of again. We wizard's have been keeping an eye on it for some time. I would have never guessed the reason why I never heard from wain because of protecting"

"Wait, didn't you say that only one man could touch it" jack interrupted
"Yes, but I meant mortal men, wizards, evil ones try to break the spell that binds it to one man" "so what happened to him" jack asked
"Who?" the wizard said "your friend" jack said in a dark tone of impatience
"Oh right, well one day, a wizard did come to take it, we all wizards knew were it was, so wain beat him to
The punch. They were in a wizard duel when I found them, there magic preventing me from interfering was horrible, get ready for this Jack, before he made a spell that would make them both die, he called out your NAME, and disappeared. Terrible that he'd kept this from me for so long, been gone for decades" the wizard finished

"Wait, what was the sword called" Jacked asked, he felt like he knew this sword somehow, like he was retelling him something he known for years. "The Silver Sword" the wizard said "I think these dreams you had are what binds you to the sword, you must find the sword before an evil wizard does, or if you don't, new fair will fall"

"all this over a sword" jack said "you accepted the challenge, did you not, you promised that you would train here for as long as it toke, and this is not just an ordinary sword, it has magic within it, good and bad, but you alone must decide how to use it" the wizard said, making his voice a little louder "how will I know were it is" jack asked " that will be for another day, but am sure you will know in due time"
