It was a beautiful quiet morning in the town of Sosshi when Katsu awoke from his nightly slumber. Light began shining through his window hitting his eyes with brightness. His eyes could see the brightness through his eye lids which caused him to begin, slowly, opening his eyes. The light that was shining onto his face seemed to be a lot brighter than it normally would be. Everything was still a little blurry for him to really tell why that would be. He rose up from under the covers only to sling his legs off the side of the bed. The first thing that came to him was the urge to throw him arms up into a stretch. Boy he enjoyed the feeling of a morning stretch to start off the day. Next, he rubbed his eyes to attempt the recovery of his normal vision. It wound up working, and allowed him to see about the bright light from outside. There wasn’t a single cloud in the sky which seemed to be the reasoning behind the more brightness of the morning. Katsu wasn’t really bothered by this. He was just happy that he woke up at a normal time instead of late in the afternoon. A smile would then came across his face as he rose up completely out of bed to walk towards his closet. It was a slow walk due to his mind still feeling like it wants to stay asleep. He would eventually make it over to pick out what it was that he was going to wear today. The only thing he managed to catch interest in was a Noble style baggy shirt with some pants to go with it. Now, he was ready to take on whatever it was that the day had to offer for him.[break][break]

After getting dressed for the day Katsu went down to the kitchen area of his Aunt and Uncles house. Waiting for him was a bowl of fruit that was compiled of all his favorites. Apples, Oranges, grapes, bananas, and peaches. Most of the time he would take one of each to at least get a full belly. However he was only able to take an apple and few grapes before his uncle came into the room. Katsu turned his head over to his Uncle whenever the man began to speak. Once the mans eyes hit Katsu there was half an apple with a grape being shoved into his mouth. A blank look was shared between the two of them before they broke out into a laugh. Living here was a lot different than back at his parents estate. His aunt and uncle did follow rules of proper etiquette, but not when it was just themselves. Katsu would then pick up fruit that was on the table from being spat out by his laughter. “So, what do you have planned for today Katsu?” The man spoke with the daily paper in his hand as he took a seat. Katsu watched as he opened it up, but having it to where his head was still in the young nobles view. “I think I am going to either go down to the church, or maybe do something around the house. Nothing really exciting has came to mind just yet. The ole noggin is still trying to wake up I think, Haha.” Saying to his uncle with much humor right there at the end of his speaking. His uncle was just about to give a reply before Katsus Aunt made her way into the kitchen as well. “Well good morning to my two handsome men today.” Both Katsu and his Uncle gave back a generous ‘Good Morning’ back to her greeting. “Katsu, I have a letter for you. There is a church seal that is stamped on the back.” Katsu heard this was was instantly curious to know what it could be.[break][break]

The young Noble would take the letter from his aunt, and then open it to see what it could possibly be. Once his eyes began reading the first line of the letter he instantly knew what this was. Excitement began surging through his entire body. His legs had a mind of their own to begin jumping up and down with such excitement. Both his aunt and uncle gave the young man a weird look as to they were clueless of why he was this excited. Katsu would do this few a few more minutes before stopping to see that his guardians were giving him that look. Laughter consumed him when he saw their looks on their face, but wasn’t going to let them wait any longer. “Father Zavier has asked me to come down to the church for some important news. The thing I can think of is that he is finally allowing me to join the church as one of his deacons!” Katsu didn’t really mean to scream with that last part. His excitement got the best of him which led to his voice tone getting louder and louder. All of this was just amazing news to him as he has been waiting for this day since he came here. His Uncle threw on a big smile as he heard the news that his nephew had given him. “Now now. I hate to be that person, but don’t get ahead of yourself just yet. Me and your Aunt are both hoping that this is the day just like you are. I just don’t want you to get your hopes up over false assumption.” Katsu understood what his Uncle was trying to tell him. The young noble had to be humble about this, hopeful, possibility that has presented himself. He also needed to keep a clear head until he was able to get to the church. Father Zavier was a wonderful Priest that had come to this town a long time ago. He knew how to handle people, children, and situations when they were to arise. Another specialty of his was to be able to act like he was a child himself. This has made the entire orphanage love the man, and Katsu as well since he moved here. [break][break]

There was no time for the young Noble to waste now that he received a letter from the Priest of the Church. He would hug his uncle, give his aunt a kiss on the cheek, and head out of the house towards the church. Along the way he would see a couple of his friends that he first met when he moved here. One was a boy that was a couple years younger than him named Ruben, and a boy a year older than him named Roland. Both of them have been really great friends to the young noble despite Katsu actually being a Noble. All three of them immediately click with one another on that first day Katsu arrived here. They knew that Katsu wanted to become a member of the church more than anything. When Katsu told them the news that today might be the day both of them were just as happy as he was. Neither of them gave much thought of showing interest within the church. Both had either a family business, or worked for a local Noble Family. Katsu has already tried his best to get them to show interest so that they would all three become the three friends of the church. Sadly, he didn’t think that he would ever get through to them on the topic. Nonetheless, both of them were still excited for Katsu that today could be the day. They would then talk about it, and other stuff, as they made their way down to the church. When they arrived there would be two sisters that were waiting at the front entrance of the building. Katsu had never seen this before to where that two of the church nuns would be standing outside waiting for someone. They do greet people like this on the days the church has its service. Today, though, wasn’t a service day, and the next day of service is like two days from now. It could only mean two things at this point. One, he was about to be asked to join the church as one of his deacons. Two, he has done something horrible that he could not recollect, and was about to get in so much trouble that is wasn’t funny. He hoped that it would be the first option that would happen. [break][break]

Once the three boys approached the sisters they would greet them with a smile. All three of them would give them a smile back in return of their greeting. “Welcome Katsu, Ruben, and Roland. I am sorry, but Father Zavier has closed the church today to meet with Katsu here.” One of the sisters would say to the three young men standing in front of them. The other sister would reach for the door to allow it to start opening up for them. Katsu would turn towards his friends with a smile on his face. Both of them told him good luck on whatever it was that was about to happen. The Noble nodded in response to them, and followed the Sisters into the church. When they went inside it was like one of the sisters had mentioned outside. There was no one inside the church besides Katsu and the two sisters. Father Zavier was no where to be seen which he always kept busy with his day to day life. One Sister had stopped walking to turn her head towards Katsu with a smile. “The father will be with you shortly. You may wait here in the service room until he arrives.” She said with a soft and calming tone to her voice. Katsu nodded his head in agreement to her before the two of them left the room. In the meantime, Katsu walked up to the front of the service room to look at the giant mural of the spirit salamander. Father Zavier always worshiped how amazing this spirit was. The power that the creature is said to have is one that could rival the most powerful mage in the Kingdom. Maybe one day Katsu might be able to have power that could rival the great salamander spirit. He would use that power to help spread the word of salamander and help throughout the land. Maybe then his parents would see that he had done something truly amazing with his life. But this whole train of thought was interrupted by a voice that came out of no where. Katsu turned his head over towards the direction in which the voice came from. Only to notice that is was Father Zavier along with another man that he had not met before. Both of them were wearing similar attire that Priests wear. This lead him to believe that Katsu was in the presence of two Priests now.[break][break]

Katsu made his way over to where the two Priests were standing. Upon closer examination the noble really didn’t know who the man was that was with Father Zavier. The Father did take a quick notice to Katsus look that showed he wondered who the man was. “Ah yes. Katsu, this is Father Theodore. He is a long time friend of mine, and a worshipper of the great Salamander.” Introducing his long time friend to allow the two to meet before continuing. Katsu reached his hand out to meet Father Theodores for a greeting hand shake. Afterwards the two would turn their attention back towards Father Zavier. “ I have asked Father Theodore here to help me with a special event that is happening today. You have been coming here for quite a long while my dear Katsu. Ever since you arrived here you have shown great interest in the church. You help me out during every service, help members of the church get in and out, and even watch over the children. I have taken great notice in this, and have come to the decision for you to become a member of the Church.” When those last words came from his mouth all of Katsus assumptions came true. Today was the day that he would finally become a member of the great Church of Clover. In his head he would scream aloud like a young school girl who just received something big for their birthday. On the outside he appeared calm and collected in front of both Priests of the Church. Father Zavier knew that Katsu was very excited about this, and that he was trying to be very humble and professional. Instead of letting the excitement build up to much he would begin to speak again. “In order for you to become a member of the church you must pass a series of trials. Some people have went through these trials with ease while others had much harder time. With these trials the great spirit of Salamander will decide whether or not you are worthy enough to become a member. I honestly have no doubt that he will approve of you.” Turning his head over towards Father Theodore once he finished his part of the introduction. “Since you and father Zavier share a past with one another I will conduct these tests. You will not be harmed during any of these trials. Just throwing that out there. They will be difficult, or ease, to go through. If you have any questions or are ready. Please step forward to let us know.” Naxel heard these words and didn’t hesitate to react. He took a step forward with a smile as big as the sun appearing on his face.

TL;DR Katsu received a letter from father Zavier. When he arrived at the church he found out he would be tested to become a member of the church.
