I wake up the next morning and stretch. I look in the mirror and see a piece of paper taped to it. i take it off and read:
Dearest Sica,
As you are now a student here, we encourage you to be perfectly groomed. Esspecially today. Princess Luna, the founder of our school is coming today. Classes start at 9:00 am.
yours,
Jewely

I rush to get ready. The princess of night, was coming to my school the day I came. I was so exited. I throw my mane up in my usual bun and braid. I walk into the mess hall and sit in an empty seat in the front, right by the head table. Then there's the sound of trumpets anouncing the arrival of Princess Luna. We all stand and bow as she walks up to the head table. She stops when she  reaches me and looks down.
" A mare? Jewely last i knew you were the only mare to attend this school."  
"Yes your majesty i was. But our scout said that Sica here is amazing with daggers and dirks. In fact she earned her cutie mark in front of him." Jewely says with a small smile on her face, more of pride than enthusiasm. the Princess walks up to Jewely and speaks to her in a low whisper.
Then Jewely stands and says, "Everypony needs to go to the arena, except for Sica a-and... Lets see,..." 
just then the princess interups her. " I think she should fight one of my own guards." 
My eyes widen at that statment. I'M going to have to fight one of the royal guards!!! I walk up to Jewely and she brings me to the armory. 
" I've had you custom armor made. The chest plate has your cutie mark, on it. and there are multiple hidden sheaths for your daggers. It's also very very lightweight. It will be like your not wearing it."
We walk into the armory and right in the middle is a blood red suit of armor with a helmet that would cover my face and make it look as if i were a stallion. I look at it and then at the wall behind the suit of armor. It's covered in beautiful swords, axes, and especially daggers. My eyes are drawn to a specific knife. it has a hilt about 5 inches long with a silver dragons claw with a marble in it. I look at Jewely than at the dagger. "Usually we won't give a student a weapon from the armory until they graduate. But you are a special pony. You may have that one if you want."
