Sweet Reminiscing

Chapter 33: Sweet Reminiscing

Valeron stood in the middle of the open courtyard at the Black Rose Academy, bathed in the warm glow of the afternoon sun. His feet were bare, connecting him to the ground beneath, as he prepared to practice his footwork and balance—a routine that had become a crucial part of his daily training. As he took a deep breath, he couldn't help but recall the teachings of his father when he was just a child.

The memories washed over him like a gentle breeze, transporting him back to the tranquil gardens of the Clan Abyss manor. His father, a stern yet caring figure, had been his first and most influential mentor. It was in those gardens that Valeron had first learned the importance of balance, not just in combat but in life.
