Inheritance

I got home and opened the door to enter the house. Mother was sitting on the couch waiting for me. She saw me and said "follow me" then got up and walked towards her room.

Following her into the room I could see her opening up father's old trunk. She dug around in it, then finding what she needed she stood up and turned to face me while holding two objects.

'that's his sword!' I would be able to recognize my fathers sword any where since he would always train with it when I was younger. The blade was a Japanese style katana with the blade being a tempered red and purple.(similar to Zoros blade Shusui from one piece) Mother held out the blade and book for me to take them and said " I know you recognize your father's blade, but what you don't know is that it's the family heirloom of his family or clan as they call themselves. This blade has been in the Talen clan for generations and it's name is Ryou. It has two unique abilities one is that it's practically indestructible and two it only utilizes the unique energy from members of the Talon clan. This book holds all of your father's techniques but it can only be opened when you have the necessary strength to use the next skill in it."

Taking them and speaking in an admiring tone "I'll make sure to make good use of these and make father proud of me." She smiled at me and said " I know you want to go and train so I won't keep you anymore."

I looked at my mother with gratitude then went to the backyard to train. ' before I leave for Westblood city I need to get the hang of this sword.' After getting to the backyard I took out Ryou and swung it around a few times. ' it's a good blade but I need to get used to it' After swinging the sword around for an hour using the basic combat skills we learned in school I finally felt comfortable with the blade. ' next I should see if I can read any of this book'

Setting the book on the table I opened the first page ' Supreme Dragon Seal Exercise, sounds similar to the Emperor's Seal Exercise' reading through the page and learning about the skill I released that it was like the Emperor's Seal Exercise but modified and ment only for the Talen clan. Like the Emperor's Seal Exercise that all humans practice this Supreme Dragon Seal Exercise makes you circulate mana through your mana veins in a specific way that although it creates pain it will also produce different seals in your body that strengthens your body.

After fully reading through it I stood up to begin practicing it while using Ryou. 'damn this is only the first of 24 circulations to create the first seal and it already hurts!' the pain was similar to being poked with needles throughout my whole body and it was only the beginning of the first circulation!

After practicing for about two hours I was covered in sweat and had only made it to the 4th circulation. After taking a shower I laid in bed thinking of what's to come ' in two days I'll be leaving for Westblood city were I plan to work as a hunter killing monsters for their bodies and cores to sell after that I don't know what I'll do but I can only wait and see what life throughs my way' with that thought in my head I finally fell asleep.
