A few days had passed since then, and today was now my birthday.

I was near Yggdra, my eyes closed in mediation.

I had already practiced 3000 swings of my blade. Even if it took me a bit more time, I was increasing the pace because I felt like I wasn't growing stronger fast enough.

Although my parents kept telling me I was incredibly strong for someone at five years of age, and that I could easily beat even grown adults with my bare fists, that wasn't really what I wanted.

I don't know when, but we'll surely be attacked once more. The entity that trapped me and Aquarina in a different space… he won't simply give up forever and live as a hermit in the mountain now… he'll surely come back.

Because of that, I must prepare and work hard… I cannot rest. I cannot relax…

I…

Ugh, never mind. I should stop for now. I'm tired.

Then again, I've already done what I wanted.

FLASH!
