Aidan

The next morning I was woken up early, thanks to Alice. ''"Wha... what is it?" ''the sleepy me asked. ''"You're on your final trial, today?!?" ''she, rather too excitedly, asked. ''"Ye... yeah, but how do you know? I told aunt that the previous trial was the final one..." ''I replied with. ''"We got a terror mail, from Freygare? Freyg? I don't know what his name is." ''Alice told me. ''"You never seem to disappoint, Freygair." ''I said to myself. ''"Yeah, today holds the final one. Huh, you can probably imagine how anxious I am, right?" ''I chirped. Alice looked at me, making the face that tells you she's disappointed by what she just heard. ''"We are Larsons', the word 'anxious' doesn't even exist to us." ''she said, a bit too determined. ''"Oh, right, sorry for that." ''I murmured. ''"Quit apologizing and get ready for the trial." ''she told me. I got up and done the usual morning routine. By the time breakfast was ready, I was ready. I ate breakfast and for some reason my aunt and Alice were ready to go, too. ''"Umm... where are you two going?" ''I asked. ''"In the terror mail Freygair sent, he said since it's the final trial, he would like the initiates to be accompanied by family." ''my aunt explained. I looked at Shadow Cloud and looked back at them. ''"Who's going to look after the egg, then?" ''I asked them. ''"Chione can look after the egg, after all, she is a Woolly Howl, like the egg." ''my aunty explained. I asked them one last time whether this was a good idea, and they assured me it was. With that being said, we were off to the final trial.

Alice came with Firestar and my aunty, so it was fine. When we got to the arena, it looked packed. What else did I expect, after all, it is the final trial. The initiates separated from their family, if they brought them to the trial. Freygair announced the trial, an obstacle course. One of the few things I wasn't put through, in Viking training academy. Freygair told us we needed to split into two teams, and just like that, the teams were made. In my team, I had Kate, Kat, Isla, Aud, Rita, and Ar. The other team only had two people I knew, Jack and Garmal. For the obstacles, I was doing the climbing, Ar was doing the monkey bars, Kat was doing the hurdles, Aud and Rita were starting the race, handing the baton to me, and Isla was [yet to be decided]. We were all ready, waiting for Freygair's go. "''3... 2....1.... GO!" ''Freygair shouted. Just like that, the obstacle course started. Rita started the race, handing the baton over to Aud. Aud, to my surprise, was quicker than I thought. As she was running, I looked over at the other team, we were winning, barely. Aud made it to me, and handed over the baton. I've never practiced climbing, so I didn't know what to expect. Cimbing with a baton in your hand was hard. what I had to climb was this wall, which wasn't too big. The wall had some holes in it, I guess that's there to help me. I climbed that wall as fast as I could, and Shadow Cloud was copying me. When I got to the top, I handed the baton over to Ar. I looked over to the other team, to see that we were still barely winning. I watched on, as Ar completes the monkey bars, and hands the baton over to Kate. ''"She looks in no condition to go on, someone needs to help her!" ''I said to Shadow Cloud, who was watching on right next to me. Isla, luckily, came to the rescue. She took over for Kate, and dodged the arrows. She then handed the the baton to Kat, who was doing the hurdles. She went over and under the hurdles like it was nothing. When she completed it, I knew we had to fly to the finish line. I hopped on to Shadow Cloud, and we flew, as fast as we could, to the finish line. Ar got there before me. Everybody, from both teams, were there, apart from Jack, Kate, and Kat. I saw Stormslicer with Kate and hold on... is that Kat being carried by Stormslicer? It was as well. Next to them was Jack, with his Skrill. This is too close to call. It was so close that I closed my eyes. ''"Come on guys, come on. You can do, you can do it." ''I said to myself, in a quiet voice. I heard the crowd gasp, followed with cheers. I recognized the voices of who was cheering, it was my team! I opened my eyes... we won! ''"YESSSSS!" ''I screamed. 'Screamed' is an understatement. ''"WE DONE IT!!!" ''I 'screamed' again. This was followed by a fist bump to the air. I couldn't believe it, we won, what an achievement! We're the Guardians!

There was a group and hug and plenty of cheers, I could hardly hear myself. We did it, we did it as a team! I've never felt this much happiness, EVER! "''And the winners are... AIDAN, KAT, AR, ISLA, RITA, AUD, AND KATE!!" ''Freygair shouted. It was now louder than before, which we all took in. I saw my aunt and Alice cheering on, so I went up to them. ''"YOU DID IT AIDAN, YOU DID IT!!!" ''my aunty shouted out, in joy. ''"You did it, Aidan. You fufilled mum and dad's dream, I'm proud to say you're my brother!" ''said Alice, who was much more calm than my aunty. I'm telling you, the feeling you get when you make your family proud... it's just.... it's just hhdbjdjkdnd.... there's no words to describe it. ''"So, what do you say? Invite family over, again?" ''I asked my aunty. ''"Anything you want, Guardian." ''she replied with, which put an even bigger smile on my face.

I felt someone tap my shoulder, and when I looked back, it was Alice. ''"Hey, is that a Harn?" ''she asked me, while pointing towards the direction of Braiden. ''"Ye... yeah. He was an initiate. Good to see him lose, huh?" ''I replied with. Braiden looked at us with a smirk on his face. That's weird, he just lost, why would he have a smirk on his face? That's when I remembered, operation 2! ''"Stay on high alert, anything can happen right now." ''I told my aunt and Alice. About 10 seconds later, my uncle came out of nowhere. He came with a Catastrophic Quacken... somehow. He landed next to Braiden and looked at us. Shadow Cloud and Firestar were on high alert. ''"Nice to meet you again." ''he said while waving at my aunty. Then he looked at me. "That's a nice house you got there'', I took care of some mess there." ''he said in a 'I-want-you-to-punch-me-in-the-face' voice. All three of us gasped, the house! ''"What did you do, uncle?" ''I asked him in a threatening voice. ''"Me telling you would make no sense." ''he replied with. ''"Oh yeah, just like how you are riding that Catastrophic Quacken makes no sense?" ''I responded with. He laughed at us, and so did Braiden. ''"You shut your mouth!" ''Alice said to the pair of them. "It's best to go now ''than later." ''my uncle said to us. I looked over at my friends, so see they were enjoying themselves. ''"Sorry guys, but I got important business to take care of." ''I said to myself. My aunty, Alice, and I were off, off back home. We tried getting there as fast as we could. When we got there, the whole house was thrashed from the inside. Folders were thrown everywhere, there were burn marks and Dragon scratches on the wall, the sofa was torn up. I ran to my bedroom, to see what damage had been done there. My desk was no longer a desk, my bed was no longer a bed, even the area I built for Shadow Cloud was destroyed. I went through me draws to look for the voice recorder that had my mother's voice in it, only to find it destroyed! I dripped a tear. All the letters from my mother... destroyed! ''"HARNS'!!!!!" ''I shouted, with pure anger. I ran out of my bedroom, and into my aunty's. She had a tear drip too, as her room was also destroyed. I ran out of her room, and into Alice's. Just like my aunty's and mine, it was destroyed! Can we even call this a house, now? ''"WHERE'S CHIONE? WHAT DID THEY DO WITH CHIONE?!?" ''Alice shouted. ''"Oh Thor, Chione, Drarmy, and the egg! What did they do with them?" ''I thought to myself.

My aunty walked in, with even more tears. "HAVE YOU SEEN DRARMY? WHERE'S DRARMY?!?" she, too, shouted. ''"I... I don't know..." ''I replied with. I walked away from them two, but I was still in the same room. I walked towards the window and looked out of it, then took a deep breath. ''"It's time. Family meeting, this has gone too far..." ''I said, while still looking out the window. ''"Invite all our family members over, especially Anders, we're gonna need the most..." ''I then said. I looked over at Shadow Cloud, who was standing beside me, and I could see the fire in her eyes, that's what I wanted to see...

Although Aidan invited family over, Kate can still come, she's part of this revenge plan.
