Sun is Dead

****(POV) 

"Sectmaster! Sectmaster! Something big happened! It's urgent there are…"

*Sigh* How hard is it to remain in closed-door training?! I did tell the lot of them to take care of the Light Citadel in the meantime. Actually, no. They wouldn't disturb me without a good reason. 

Are we getting attacked by some evil sect? 

Is there some heretic trying to corrupt our people? 

I've been training for a while already. I can feel the barrier to reach rank 5. So close yet so far! It is like the world itself is trying to impeach my breakthrough. As if reaching such power was condemned by the heavens! 

Of course, I know. The chances of me succeeding are almost nil. Still, I will keep pushing nonetheless. 

Should I succeed, I would be the most powerful there is, but most importantly I would be able to protect him. We of the Light Citadel never cower before evil. We either win or die fighting, there is no in-between.
