Awakening

Finnr

"Heeeyaa" I swept the air at an ~ngle as I performed a side kick with my right leg before getting back into my de~ensive stance .

"Very good Finn. Now, perform the Erwin family defensive stances" Dad gave an approving nod at my progress. He had thought me a lot. Boxing and karate were my lessons. My body couldn't take more. I had seen a book about our ancestors s~ord play, but dad says he won't be able to te~ch me. Something about not being good for the mortals body.

"Front lu~ng punch!" My left limbs pushed forward in an offensive stance. "Stra~ght punch, reverse punch"

"Front kick, back kick" my light voice filled the compound. "Round house kick" my body started aching me. No! Dad will be sad.

"Upper block, lower block, outward block, inward block." The aches around my body intensified. I leaned forward as I completed my forms. Dad was clapping. Beads of sweet rolled down my face, but I couldn't help but give a smug look beneath.

"Kent! Why do you always go too far with my baby. He's too small." Mom complained as she glared at dad.

"Hey. I'm six years old" I complained pouting my cheeks. "Pfft. He's right honey" dad laughed it off.

"You'll be quiet mister. You're still five years old. And you smell badly. Go inside and get a bathe. Your father and I have to meet the town governor. Okay?~" she knelt down patting my head and giving me a sweet smile.

"Okay mom" I went into the house to have my bathe. I've been having this tinkling feeling around my chest. I opened the back door to the house and headed to my bathroom.

Ugh, I miss aunt Jade. But I won't have to worry. Mom and dad said we're going to  Avalon.

I turned the knob which shone a dim red light to signify the artifact was on. Lukewarm water poured into the bath. I went inside, sitting against the edge. While resting, I remembered my mom's teachings.

The great war of Eden. The evil estrucans led by Apophis deceived the leader Estrucans into her death. This was because he didn't recognise her peaceful reign as the way of the Etruscans. Other godly beings supported. This resulted in an all out battle between the true Etruscans and the evil ones. The dominions on the lesser realm was inevitably involved.

The great war of Eden lead to the destruction of Etruria the land of Etruscans. The lesser realm was split due to the war and only a country portion was left connecting the continent Ixalt; the lesser realm of the true Etruscans, and Noxus; the lesser realm of the evil Etruscans.

Ixalt comprise of Elves and Humans who were long since united. The kingdom of Alfheim, dominion of elves, located at the North. The kingdom of Athens, land of humans, located to the south of Alfheim.

To the west lies Nineveh, the land of beast; only available to C ranks and above. The lower ranks head to Grand mountains of mount Meru, which is to the East.

The continent of Ixalt is led by a council. It comprises of the king of Alfheim: Oberon Luthian;

the dukes of the the western, Eastern and southern cities of Athens. The non-royal nobles govern the individual cities and  elected leaders (governors) heads towns.

The last True Etruscan, Atreus, watches over us in Kitezh; the tri-union city.

The other continent, Noxus comprises of humanoids and dwarves. It is to the south of Ixalt and is divided into three main zones.

The dwarven dominion led by the Gandalf Great house. It's capital the great undermine city of Moria. The moving sand which passes from moria acts as a natural shield for Noxus.

The humanoids dominion: zaseon, Orchard and Duat overseen by Odegard. His dwelling place, Duat

Ker-iz is located in the centre of the Noxus continent and is the dwelling place of the Evil Etruscan, Lord Aphopis.

And finally Hel, the destroyed lands of Etruscans. They say the flames of the late ancestral Etruscan leader, Jupiter, fills the land.

I had wished was to explore this world. It was one of the things I wanted to do after getting strong enough to protect myself like my father and mother.

I changed my posture feeling pain from my chest region. I had feared something was wrong with me.

Ugh. Why's my chest aching-?. Maybe I should tell mom-

I squinted my eyes trying to endure the pain. But the pain only increased. I felt strong at the moment. It was then the force left my body and into the surrounding. I felt at peace.
