Ruby looked outside, the day was filled with training and getting a plan to leave and get her own sword. She thought about stealing one but then she thought of something better, her oldest brother Aaron was twenty-two and was allowed to use real sword, what if she could buy a sword and say it was for him. He wasn't much bigger than her and she could say he liked to have a sword a little shorter than her. She had totally planned it and even made herself a note with the message from her brother for the swordsman.

''Ruby, could you go ask the backer if he has some leftovers?'' her mother asked. Ruby stood up and nodded. ''I will do that'' she said with a little smile. ''Thank you my dear, don't worry, your time will come'' her mother said just to make her feel better. Of course her mother didn't know about Ruby's plan. She grabbed the money for the bread and her own spared money for the sword and then walked off, she would go to the swordsman first and then to the backer. A few minutes later she walked into the swordsman's shop and laid down the note for him with a little smile. ''Ah, Ruby. Oh, a note from Aaron?'' he asked and looked at the note for just a few second. ''Funny, your brother stopped by this afternoon to say I had to give you this sword and this note when you would come today'' he said and handed her a note and a sword inside a piece of leather. Ruby took the note and started to read it;

[i] dear sister, I got ya! hahaha, This sword is a gift from me to you. Be wise and train with it before you go on some adventure saving a prince or princess and become a knight without a arm in a shining armor. I believe in you and always did. Be careful little sister and hide the sword from Mother and Father 

great regards,

Your brother in shining armor,

Aaron [/i]

Ruby took the sword and looked at the man. ''I'll lay it in my garden, just outside the fence behind the three barrels... come pick it up when you need it and lay it there again when not'' he said. Ruby nodded again and then ran off to the backer for the leftovers, even though they had a good farm and the royals did take most of their lands, they always used the leftovers for when they where gonna eat soup. After getting the bread, she went back home and helped her mother in the kitchen for that evening. She was planning to leave that night and train in the woods but also she would not come back without the dragon's head.
