Training with black

Lilith, fueled by her unwavering resolve to ensure the safety and strength of her daughter and the child from the Dragon Heart Clan, reached out to Black once more. This time, she requested his services as a trainer, recognizing his formidable skills and the expertise he possessed.

In a dimly lit room, Lilith and Black met again, their conversation veiled in a cloak of secrecy. Lilith, with a determined look in her eyes, spoke earnestly, "Black, I understand the weight of the path we walk, and I recognize the necessity of honing the abilities of those under my care. I seek your guidance and expertise in training my daughter and the child from the Dragon Heart Clan. I am willing to pay a substantial price for your services in order to prepare them for the upcoming war."

Black, his enigmatic aura ever-present, listened intently to Lilith's request. He pondered her words for a moment before responding, "Lilith, the training you seek will not be easy. It will require dedication, discipline, and unwavering commitment. The path I will guide them on is one of trials and challenges. Are you prepared to witness their transformation, even if it means pushing them to their limits?"

Lilith nodded, her determination unyielding. "I understand the hardships they will face. But I believe in their potential, and I trust that your guidance will help them unlock their true strength. I am willing to endure their struggles, knowing that it will mold them into formidable warriors."

A hint of a smile danced across Black's lips as

he assessed Lilith's resolute determination. "Very well, Lilith. I accept your request. But know that this path is not one to be taken lightly. The training will be rigorous, demanding their utmost dedication and perseverance. I will push them beyond their limits, forging them into warriors of unparalleled prowess."

Lilith, grateful for Black's acceptance, reached into her pocket and withdrew a small pouch. She placed it on the table between them, containing a substantial sum of gold coins. "This is the payment for your services, Black. I understand the value of your expertise, and I am willing to compensate you accordingly."

Black's eyes flickered with a glint of appreciation as he glanced at the pouch. "Your offering is generous, Lilith. Consider it a down payment for the journey that lies ahead. Rest assured, I will devote myself to their training, molding them into warriors worthy of their heritage."

As the transaction was settled, Lilith couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and apprehension. She knew that the path she had chosen for her daughter and the child from the Dragon Heart Clan would be arduous, filled with both triumphs and sacrifices. But she also held onto a glimmer of hope that their training under Black's tutelage would equip them with the skills and strength to face the challenges that awaited them.

Black opened a portal to a realm untouched by time and space, a place where Seraphina and Kai could undergo rigorous training. With a stern gaze, he turned to Lilith and spoke with a commanding tone.

"Lilith, this is a journey that requires utmost focus and dedication from Seraphina and Kai. It is not suitable for you to join them," he explained firmly. "They must learn to face challenges on their own and grow through their own experiences."

Lilith reluctantly nodded, understanding the necessity of their separation. She watched as Seraphina and Kai stepped through the portal, disappearing into the unknown. Her heart filled with a mix of concern and anticipation for the trials that awaited them.

Within the realm of training, Black's method of instruction was unyielding. He pushed Seraphina and Kai to their limits, engaging them in relentless hand-to-hand combat and weapon sparring. The blows exchanged left bruises and cuts on their faces and bodies, a physical testament to the intensity of their training.

With an air of authority, Black instructed them to let go of the concept of justice. He emphasized the importance of focusing solely on their enemies, shedding any hesitation or fear that could hinder their progress.

Drawing a wooden sword, Black emitted a powerful aura of killing intent, his eyes shining with an unwavering determination. He imparted his wisdom upon Seraphina and Kai, speaking with a chilling clarity.

"Should you be attacked, do not allow the enemy to cut you. If you fear death, then do not let it claim you. And when you attack, do so with the intent to kill," he declared, his words echoing in their minds.

Seraphina and Kai absorbed his teachings, their bodies and minds pushed to their limits. They learned to embrace the ruthless nature of combat, to harness their inner strength and unleash it without hesitation. Each day, they grew stronger, their skills sharpened through relentless practice.

The bruises and cuts they bore were badges of resilience, reminders of their dedication to their training. Seraphina, with her spear, and Kai, with his dual swords, honed their techniques, developing a deep understanding of the weapons that would serve as extensions of themselves.

Kai stood before Black, his eyes fixated on the martial arts book that was being offered to him. As his fingers grasped the book, he felt a surge of excitement and curiosity about the knowledge contained within.

Black: "This book holds the ancient techniques of the Silat Two-Sword style. It is a path that requires immense dedication and discipline. Within these pages, you will discover 14 forms that will shape your skills as a dual-sword wielder. Each form has its own name and unique attributes. Are you ready to embark on this journey, Kai?"
