Catalina's POV:
"So am I." Viveca motioned to herself
"Me too." Aramina touched herself, agreeing, looking at Renee
"Ditto." Renee agrees looking at Aramina and Viveca
Hearing this made Corinne and I smile in relief that they also wanted to be musketeers
"Why didn't you say so before?" Viveca asked Aramina, leaning forward as Renne too looked at her
"I thought you'd laugh at me. A girl musketeer?" Aramina answers lowering her right hand and looking upwards
Corinne and I smile knowing "Ever since I and Catalina were little girls. We dreamed of being a musketeers" Corinne smiles
"Just like our father was... because of him, he inspired us to follow in his footsteps." I smiled
"As have I." Aramina agreed as Viveca nodded then used her broom as the Prince "Rescuing the Prince..." Aramina sighed dreamily, dipping down
"Bien sure." Viveca agrees, raising her right hand
"The Musketeers are so very chic." Viveca turned around, doing a pose as Renee watches
"And their blue tunics are incredible." Viveca finishes, raising her right hand, complimenting
"Musketeers rock." Renee pumped out her left hand
Causing us to cheer and share a high-five
Only for us to hear someone clearing her throat, earning our attention
"Come with me." Madame Helene motions her head behind her, walking away using her walking stick
The five of us began following her while we were curious about where she was leading us
We were walking to the wall when Madame Helena glanced over her shoulder to Corinne, letting her return her glance then Madame Helene looked forward once more
When she places her hand on the wall, pushing it forward, letting it maneuvered forward then to the left side revealing a secret passageway
The five of us looked at the passageway with uncertainly and confusion
Madame Helena turned her head over to us letting us walk forward then started walking again
The five of us looked at each other before Corinne followed her first followed by me, Viveca, as Aramina hesitated at first but Renee pushed her forward to follow behind Viveca
We were in awe of never seeing a secret passageway in person before
"A secret passageway..." Corinne says in awe
When we looked at Madame Helene walking downstairs we were confused by this
"Why are we here?" Corinne asked, extending her arms a bit
As Aramina looked around, Viveca placed her hands on her waist, Renee looked forward and I looked at Madame Helene
"Yeah. Where are you taking us?" Renee agreed, questioning her, placing her right hand on her waist, her left hand extending sideways while Corinne looked at her
"You ask too many questions." Madame Helene respond
Then she pulled the lamp scroll backward causing the steps we were standing to turn into a slide causing us to start screaming
As we were screaming, Madame Helene glanced up at where we were and then looked forward
After a minute of falling, the five of us screamed falling down onto the floor
We groaned in pain before we heard Madame Helene's voice
"We've arrived." Madame Helene informed, her hand motioned to the secret room
We looked up at the room in shock as we stood up
"Wow," Corinne says
As Madame Helene walked towards a tall painting of the musketeers
"What is this amazing place, Madame Helene?" I asked in awe
"This is the old Musketeers Traning Room." Madame Helene answered, raising her left hand
As we walked towards her while Madame Helene walked to the lamp
"Before they moved to Treville's Training Ground, it's been forgotten but to a few..." Madame Helene pulled on the lamp
Where the painting swivels, turning into a patted cushion that's filled with different weapon options
We were in awe of the weapons displayed on the wall
"Woah...." Corinne and I were in awe
Before Madame Helene looks at us
"You think you can be musketeers?" She questioned, her right hand motioned to the wall
The five of us looked at each other, giving Madame a nod of confirmation
When Madame Helene grabbed one of the swords
"Prove It." She stated, tossing the sword towards Corinne
Causing her to gasp, seeing the sword, doing a backflip silently as we watched her
She caught the sword in time, smiled aimed her sword at her
"Ha!" She smiled
Madame Helene smiled amused by Corinne wanting to impress her
Then she front-flipped on top of the beam, wanting to challenge Madame Helene
The four of us smiled wanting to see how Corinne would do against Madame Helene
Seeing that Corinne wants to challenge her, wanting to challenge back, she cracked her neck, back and arms and grabbed another sword
Causing Corinne and us to be a little shocked that she could walk normally without having back problems
While we watched her walk toward the beam casually, spinning her sword casually
Before Madame Helene front flipped, getting in the beam, smiling knowingly at her
But Corinne couldn't lose her determination, giving her the chance to strike first
Only for Madame Helene to easily counter Corinne's attacks causing Corinne to take a step back as Madame Helene knowingly smiled at her
Corinne grunted trying to defeat Madame Helene using her sword as Madame Helene walked back, countering her attacks easily
Gave Madame Helene swivel her sword around Corinne's causing my sister to lose her grip, sending hers to the tablewood
Seeing that Madame Helene did have some experience, along with being able to defeat her, caused my sister to look at her in shock
As Madame Helene smiled dusting her fingers on her shoulder then looked back at my sister
When it was my turn to show Madame Helene what I can do with my skills
"For me, I believe that smaller and younger can impact a bigger difference." I grabbed a small dagger from the wall
Walking towards my sister as she flipped to the side where our friends were at
"Good luck Lina." Corinne wished me luck
"Thank you Cor." I thanked her before I front-flipped to the top of the beam where Madame Helene was waiting for me with the same knowing smile as she gave my sister
Madame Helene gave me the chance to go first, and I smiled attacking my dagger against her sword
Just like before Madame Helene easily countered the attack with my dagger and before I could get one more strike, she was able to knock out my dagger, and losing my grip on the dagger
I gasped in shock at this moment as Madame Helene smiled knowingly at me
When Viveca suddenly spoke up "Regard e ci."
She grabbed the ribbons from the wall
"You just need the proper.... accessory." Viveca used the ribbons to spin around her
"Hi-yah!" Viveca yells using her ribbon in her right hand to slash the flame in the middle candle
Corinne and I watched her as Madame Helene hopped off the beam with a knowing smile as we watched Viveca using her ribbons
"Hi-yah!" Viveca yells slashing her right ribbon to the third candle's flame out
"Yah!" Viveca yells, about to slash the left candle's flame
Only for Madame Helene to intervene for the ribbon to wrap around Madame Helene's sword
Causing Viveca to gasp, widening her eyes knowing what would come with Madame Helene pulled her sword in her direction
Causing Viveca to stumble forward and fall down, grunting and letting go of the ribbons
"What my dear friends lack..." Aramina spoke, walking to the wall
Where she grabbed a pair of red colored fans from the wall
She walked forward as Viveca, Corinne and I walked back to Renee, watching Aramina having her turn to show her skills to Madame Helene
"is a little grace." Aramina got into position with her arms extending outwards
She opened the fans in unison, pirouetted a bit, raised her arms up then threw the fans up letting the fans spin which she caught behind her
Then she used her finger in her right hand to spin her fan, spinning it around a bit and then sending the fan to fly around the room
The fan indeed spins around the room at a fast speed
Before she could catch the fan, Madame Helene motioned her sword forward to catch the fan first, causing Aramina to be shocked and frowned
As Madame Helene uses her sword the fan around, giving Aramina a knowing smile
When it was Renee's turn after she watched our skills "Amaturs." She states, rolling her eyes
While we sighed, frowning when Renee grabbed the sling from the wall
She grabbed a small metal ball onto the sling, using her finger to spin the sling to gain the speed to send the metal ball forward
We see the metal ball fly around the room from hitting the metal armor then the ceiling wall, to the mantle of the fireplace
Renee walked towards us Madame Helene saw the metal ball going towards us with good speed only for Madame Helene to catch the ball with her finger easily
Seeing that she easily catches the ball, and her experience skills, we want to know how she really experiences
"Teach me how to do that?" Rinne asked
"As do I." I smiled
"Me too." Aramina raises her finger
"And me" Viveva agreed, looking at Renee as she returned her gaze
"Ditto." Renee agrees
Madame Helene hmmed, acknowledged our peaked interest in learning to become proper musketeers "You have much to learn." Madame Helene answers, looking at us
"I will teach you." Madame Helene agreed "But only if you do exactly as I say." Madame Helene requested
We smiled and looked at each other before looking at Madame Helene
"We Will." The five of us agreed in unison
"We begin." Madame Helene says slashing her sword in a downright diagonal motion
When we realized that this was the moment we had been waiting for, to take one step closer to becoming musketeers, all thanks to Madame Helene.
