There was a knock.
I opened the door; three hooded figures bowed.
"We come to see the Chosen One," one said.
I swallowed. Was this why mother insisted we practice with sword and axe daily? I turned and saw her.
"Very well," my mother said. "I have stayed in shape for this day."

@violanders Trettondag? Why?
@MicroSFF
Because that's the day when, according to tradition, three mysterious figures showed up to see the chosen one.
