Chapter 8

Ashley shares this story with them as she heard it from her husband while he was alive. Also, from the information she overhears on the news and from the villagers. Her visions also reveal the truth about what happened. She does not fear anything as she ensures Wesley and Jesse everything will be fine.

The war that Master Morgan told her about happened, but thanks to the Good Knights’ efforts, they won. It lasted for about a day and there was much hype about it after the glorious victory. This time they did not suffer too many casualties.

Master Morgan did not return to the village and suddenly disappeared. A letter was sent to Wesley from him saying when he was ready, to come back to the school to become a Good Knight.

A year later, Jesse and Wesley continue training as both enjoy each other’s company. Wesley helps around the house by cleaning, cooking, and doing whatever was needed to help Ashley . She is fascinated that he is always willing to help so much. Ashley also taught him dancing, shopping, budgeting, how to overcome fears, proper gentlemen techniques, and any questions about life, he could always ask her anything. She really meant anything because it did not matter if the question was silly, stupid, disturbing, or just plain out of the ordinary, Ashley would fill him with wisdom and explain the truth to him. She did not judge him or tell him anything that could offend him. There were some things he needed to figure out for himself.

Jesse still is in love with Wesley and cannot wait until the day he would be the one to ask her to be his girlfriend. For now, she can only imagine. Even though Jesse and Wesley attend school regularly, Wesley is taught by Ashley a variety of other things. She helps him further his knowledge in various fields of study. She becomes like a mother to him, absorbing all knowledge like a sponge.

Ashley would often train with Wesley and taught him A****n martial arts with weapons training. Many times, Jesse helps him by explaining their homework assignments to him since certain things he does not get right away.

There are many boys after Jesse at school and within the village, but she rejects them all and only wants one. One day, their training comes to a stop. When Wesley completed his training, he knew that it was time to go. His master left him detailed instructions on to do. His training in the mountain ceased, unless if he wanted to return and practice for a special occasion then he could. It was time to reach the next level of his education and to become a Good Knight.

The time came when Wesley said was set to leave Orallion Village. He packed his things and was soon ready to leave. He considered Ashley a truly special person in his life. He thanks her for everything. Ashley gives him a picture of both herself and Jesse dressed in their pretty summertime dresses smiling happy. This was a token of appreciation for all the times he helped them and was also a going away present for him to remember them by.

That evening they had a party. Before he left, everyone danced, ate, and were merry. Come morning, it was time to leave. He had already packed his bag from the night before and was ready.

Jesse cries at this due to getting used to having him around. She hugs Wesley one last time before he departs and gives him a kiss on his lips.

“Promise me, that when we meet again, you will come up to me and kiss me on my lips. This way, I will know that it is you, and you tell me how much more beautiful I am by then,” Jesse says.

“Okay, I promise you,” Wesley says.

At the time, he was not serious about keeping the promise.

“Thank you, Jesse , for training with me, teaching me, and doing everything with me. You are an awesome friend! I really like you a lot too,” he says releasing each other from their hug.

As he waves bye, he walks a distance away, but then turns around and places his hands together with his palm over his fist, bowing to them and showing respect.

They bow in return and wave bye to him one last time. He is headed for the train station, which will take him directly to the city. The letter Wesley received contained a train ticket to head into Orallion City.

“Mother, will I ever see him again?”

Jesse asks as tears run down her cheeks.

“You will my love.” Ashley says hugging her daughter.

“I really, really like Wesley and it hurts me to see him go. I am going to miss him.”

“Do not worry Jesse , your path and his are destined to meet again and you will be surprised at how much he will have changed. Focus on you, keep training, let’s work out together and just be the very sweet and loving girl you always are my dear.”

Ashley hugs her daughter.

“I love you mother! You are the best!”

Jesse returns her hug with an even more intenseWhen Wesley came to the school, he did not know much about the programs offered through the Good Knights. He decided he wanted to study computers and do something with this career. At an early age, they began teaching him the basics along with math, reading, writing, science, and computer technologies. In addition, physical education and martial arts training are part of the Good Knights’ training prerequisites. The Good Knights School is like an early start to college or a university.
