Maddison was happy that her school day finally ended. So she decided to spent the day walking around the City and do a bit of window shopping. Then she noticed a lot comotion coming from the other end of the street. She couldn't resist to get closer. So she moved through the forming crowd.
Before she realised it, was something hard pressing against her throat. The Sharp egde made it clear that someone held a knife against her. She had to fight to not lose composure and accidently slit her own throat with it. "Why?" was all she managed to say. Only to be completly ignored.
"Let me go you damn knights. Or this Girl gets it." the said and pushed the knife more against her throat, making it really difficult for her to breath. The Knight stood there with his Sword drawn, he was trying to find a way to save the Girl. But he knew that he couldn't move fast enough. So he let his sword fall.
He waited for a second and then kicked his Sword in the direction of the Criminal and his hostage. The sword pierced the girls stomach and hit the Criminal. He droped his knife and stopped grabbing the girl, as the sword did its job. In that Moment did the Knight cover the distance between them and ripped the girl away from the sword.
Maddison felt the sword moving through her body. She was certain that she got pierced and slicened open by it. Yet as the knight help her regain balance, didn't she feel any Pain. She looked down without seeing any injuries on her Body. Still, looking at the Criminal he was really injured.
"Young Maiden, i hope you aren't hurt?" the Knight asked her. Maddison looked at him. "I think i am fine, but i shouldn't be. That sword hit me first." The Knight smiled at her. "My sword would never hurt an innocent Maiden. Especially one was precious you." he said and pulled his sword out of the Criminal.
"I am sorry young Miss, but duty calls." he said to her, while he helped the Criminal up on his feet and lead him to the prison of the City. Leaving her with a strange feeling. So she just kept on walking, trying to make sense of what happened. Till she saw something on the ground. She picked up the flyer, "Lady Erikas Magic show." she read and noticed a small sentence at the bottom. "In search of new Assistants."
Her experience earlier, made her willing to ask that Erika, if she could explain her what happend to her. If anyone could help her with the feel, it must be a Magician. Looking at the address, she was happy that she only had to cross two streets to get to Erikas trainings place. A young woman stood in front the Place and drank her coffee.
"I don't think this is a Place for someone like you." the Girl with the coffee said. So Maddison told her what happened to her, before getting there. The Girl finished her Coffee with a large sip. "In that Case come in, My Name is Erika." Maddison was shocked, but followed the Girl inside. "I know, i look a bit younger than i am, but i know what i am doing."
"Could you do me a favour and stand right on that wall." she pointed maddison to a piece of wood, that had the outline of a female figure on it. "Just try to copy that pose." she said left left Maddison shortly alone. Only to return with a set of 20 Knifes. Erika set 19 down and played around the one she was still holding.
Before maddison could ask, what she was doing, did Erika throw the Knife, hitting the board next to her head. "Well, its actually quite simple what happend." she began and threw another Knife at the other side of Maddisons head, Preventing her from moving it to either side. "Every Knights posses a unique kind of Magic." she continued, and threw the next knife between the girls knees. Then she threw another one at the half waypoint of the girls tights.
Only to follow it up with a knife that cut into Maddisons Dress. She could feel the cold steel only a hair wide away from the skin between her legs. Maddison feared, that the sharp edge, could cut in her panties, if she moved to much. "Like i was saying, that special Magic comes from a connection with Nature spirits, as such, they can give their weapons special abilities."
Then she grabbed two knifes and threw them at either side of Maddisons hips. "one of the more common abilities they get taught, is the ability to let their Weapons move through certain objects. Pefect, to cut enemies that hide behind walls, shields or innocent Maidens."
Erika finished and threw the remaining knifes in a straight line at her Vicitm.
finishing the line she started between the girls legs, up to her rips. "Funny enough, that spell was originally used for a Magic performance, from a young Magician. And when he joined the Knights, he taught this little trick to a bunch of other knights." She said, while still ignoring the shocked expression Maddison had on her face.
She looked at the knifes in her Body. Erika was right, it was the same feeling she had with the Sword. "I would love to leave you like that, but i am certain we both have other things to do and if i lose concentration, these won't be so easly removable." Erika whispered in the girls ear and pulled one knife after the other out.
"I hope that helped with your Question." Maddison tried to open her mouth and say something, but she was speechless. Deep down, she knew, that she wanted to feel it again. Thats what made her so uneasy. Erika got closer to her. "I know that look. If you want, you can be my Assistant. I could really need another one, after what happened to the last one."
