Sparring with brother Kiel

-----[2 weeks later]---------

"Young master, wake up." *nrg* "yawn..." one after one…my eyes managed to open up. there was some sleep crust in my eyes and I reached for the corners of my eyes and rubbed it off. "morning..."

The Maid stood with her hands together, and cheerful as she slept a good night. "I already prepared the food, your bath and-"

"Yeah, thanks..."

Caid walked through the hall, tired. "good morning young master.'' The maids greeted him, seeing him in a new light.

"morning...Master Caid." he had his eyes mostly closed and didn't look where he headed. slowly he heard the door open and nearly bumped into it. "s-sorry young master I didn't see you, your father is busy preparing for his travel to Estes territory." but that didn't seem exciting for Caid.

"Yeah, yeah. Have you seen brother Kiel? I heard he returned last night."

"mmm..." Tom rubbed his chin. "I think he is doing his usual morning routine in the training area."

"Thanks..."

"Anything else?"

yeah screw off. "no that was it...see ya." I said, and continued off to the training area.

----------------------------------

"ha!...Ha!..." a man with a strong muscular looking guy in his 20s swung his sword for who knows how long. breathing patiently from each swing. "It seems like your training is vigorous, big brother."

"um it's Candy..? right!?"

"IT'S CAID!"

"Hehe, Sorry I forgot." smirking while sticking his tongue out. "So how are you...um…doing?"

"I'm fine, thanks for asking." Caid seemed to wake up and began stretching.

"I see..." When Caid was done he grabbed a wooden sword by the armory stand right next to him and pointed at Kiel "Come on. I wanna spar." Kiel is 6th tier swordsman and will soon reach 7th tier next year. As I'm right now, I'm a 4th tier caster and a 3th tier conjurer. I need to see the difference in strength to see if there is any way to fight those who are stronger than me and Kiel is the perfect sparring partner.

"Alright, let's see if you have been slacking off or not!" And also he is a battle maniac. "Hyaa!"

I was nearly too late to block his quick strike due to my inability to follow his eyes. Against his attack, I was getting heavy-handed. "what? I only put a slight power to be generous and your arms already resemble worms?"

I knew there was such a huge gap between the ranks, but I'm already done? Holy spell ¤recovery¤ and backed away to create distance between us. sweats ran down my chin.

Focus idiot. I took a deep inhale and let out a long exhale. "fuuuh…" no magic, I need only to test myself... Zandwill sword technique was taught to our ancestors by an old couple who saved a spirit and then gave it to them as a gift that our family only knows.

a flexible style that has 4 different paths.

Firstly, the Fox illusion, I swung at my older brother who was going to parry until another slash came a little slower, but in a different direction. I knew this little trick didn't work on my brother effortlessly parrying both slashes, I switched to its second form three slashes instead of 2 appeared, coming onto his shoulder, torso and his kneecap.

He returned back with his own Zandwill style, style black turtle, which was just a hard slash, which evaporated the swings I struck at him. I tried sweeping his leg, but he backed away and tried landing a kick on me while at it.

I rolled out the way on the ground, my hand on the dirty ground, and the dust stained my white ragged shirt. "not bad…but come on, it's that the best you got?"

I gripped the handle harder, mad at my brother for taunting, but I came calmly with a straight pierce which he would see right away and he was going to block it as I anticipated, that's why I suddenly shifted to a slash from the side close up, of course wary when he would kick me to create distance.

*slash*parry*

the sound of blades met, once again. I was going to step back and create distance…but…

"Ouch…!" I felt a kick to the stomach, and when I was going to stand up I saw the tip of a blade standing over me.

"Tch..!"

"don't be like that…you put up a good fight. I'm sure there are only a few years until you can catch up to me, just keep training…well thanks for giving me a good match I see you soon…" He walked out the entrance and the sword resting on his shoulder.

"I'm not sure I have a few years…" Caid whispered. The reason was…after the original story ended, a follow up came from my sister's idea, the Melody within was going to have 5 follow up, and 2 and 5 was the worst catastrophe to happen.

After Caid Zandwill, the original one died, the deity far worse than the demon king or any Majin erupted as ¤the one with no name¤ it has been waiting for the heaven to weaken at the battle with Caid, and the tree of knowledge, the three of life and the whole Eden was in danger.

For years, it has been waiting in the slums for the right time. Nevertheless, prophecy had it that he would bring chaos that had never been seen before.

The main cast was totally useless against the ¤The one with no name¤. The only reason it was not able to advance further to Eden was simply because of the Heaven Guardian of Angels and the Vermillion of the south, The white tiger from west, The black turtle of the north and the yellow dragon of west.

Each spirit protected their own territory, but against ¤The one with no name¤. It was only a matter of time. The kingdoms were on a truce with each other and the demonfolk before the matter was settled.

and why doesn't 3 and 4 not worse? It's because everyone is fine during that time, they thought they did it, being safe. trying to find a solution and they found one, lost, but not forgotten.

#The Seal Of Solomon# Ancient and lost, they didn't find it before ¤The one with no name¤. managed to get its daughters to invade the territory of so called, Astronia, The earth we reside in Melody within. and destroy ⅔ quarts of Astronia before they managed to seal him and his daughter away for a while.

The heaven guardian, vermilion bird, black turtle, white tiger and the yellow dragon have been weakened due to ¤The one with no name¤. massive power managed to injure them, but not kill.

Caid looked up at the blue morning sky. "I need to be stronger, For my future here, and for my family…No way in hell I will let mr. bob the destroyer to mess up my life."

Caid stood up, he had a long time until then, he will be stronger, but right now he will enjoy his moment.
