The next thing that goes on in the book is flare goes on a hunting trip with the crowned prince some nobles and the king and flare let the crowned prince get the first kill and the prince rubs it in his face so the king decides to settle it with an archery contest and flare won and the prince got really angry and yelled at flare. So the king decided to send flare on a mission to get an ancient sword that is in the prophecy and the church didnt object...and that was suprising. And then it goes on to this part where the church is trying to turn the other gaurdians flares friends against him. like spying so the gaurdians split into 3 groups and set out. Meanwhile prince Z is also looking for the sword and he puts a price on all the gaurdians heads. So fist of all if some1 kept bragging to me about how wonderful at hunting they are i would so get angry expecially if i had let them win and i know i would feel really happy if that person got angry at me and stormed off.I was also really suprised when the church let flare go on the trip.
