Gift from Mother

Williem look at his father confused hearing that he will go to Akilenhart and asks, "Why Akilenhart father? you can train me right here and you are one of the best knights in this kingdom. I'm sure you can train me"

Fredrick answers, "I think it will be better you learn at Akilenhart, you can learn some many things there. Like it or not I will send you to Akilenhart."

"Yes...father" Williem answer and leave the dining room

At his room Williem talks to himself and wanders why Akilenhart is better than learning with straight from his father. then a knock on his door can be heard

"Tok... Tok...."

Williem go to get his door and open it. He sees his father standing at the door.

"Son, I know is confusing, but I will explain it tomorrow. So, meet me at the training hall at first light."

"Yes, father." Williem answers

In the morning, Williem is running toward the training hall while shouting "I'm late!!! I'm late!! Oh No I'm so dead"

When he arrives at the training hall, he sees his father standing on the training ground holding his sword, he apologizes and get to the training ground. As soon as Williem enters the training ground Fredrick asks Williem to take a sword and attack him, following his father's order Williem attacks his father, but his father always invade every single Williem's strike. Frustrated Williem attacks his father with a strong vertical strike but easily parry by Fredrick and he falls.

Fredrick says, "You have a good control and powerful attacks, but it's became predictable very fast, once your emotion gets in control like the last swing you will be easily parry by other."

"Yes father, sorry I let my emotion takes control it won't happen again" Williem answer with annoyed face

"Now pick your sword and start again"

Williem attack his father again and again, but every attack still misses his father. He attacks his father with a diagonal strike but get parried again and falls for the second time

"You still let your emotion take control, so go it again!!"

Williem gets up and start to attack his father but still fails to hit his father. Every time his emotion gets control of his father just yell "Again!!!"

"Again!"

"Again!"

"Again!"

Can be heard throughout the training. For six hours the word "again" is the only word that Williem heard, but he stills pick his sword up and keep attacking his father. His frustration and anger in his eyes are started to become a determined look and his sword suddenly emit a blackish aura, his father simply smile seeing his son's sword emitting a blackish aura and tell him too attack with all his power. Williem then runs toward his father and strike him a strong vertical slash. Fredrick blocks Williem's and suddenly a shockwave blows Williem few meters back.

Shocked Williem asks his father, "What was that???" while patting and tries to stand back up.

"Those are the things that I want you to learn and train at Akilenhart, but I will teach you the very basic of it"

"But what is it? father"

"Those were Avra, a power that every living being in this world, human, animals, plants, monsters even demon, possessed it but not everyone felt it or control it. The power to feel and control Avra must be learn and everyone can learn it."

Fredrick then emit a whitish almost transparent Avra around him and it start to coat his sword. Then he slashes his sword, and his slash wave can be seen hitting a training dummy on the far end of the training room and cut it in half.

"But the Avra's colour is different from what happen when you and I clash, it was in black, not colourless like you use. Are they still called Avra?"

"The Avra that can be learn by everyone are the Avra that I use to cut the training dummy. The one that you use are still Avra, but it was a different type of Avra. There are a few types of Avra in this world, it varies in colour and power. There are the Reddish in colour that people associate with flame and bravery often recklessness, Blueish is associated with water and intelligent or calmness, and the Greenish one is associated with plant and protection. those are the more common type that you will find in other, but some type of Avra is rarer that those 3. The rarer Avra are the White, the gold, the silver and Avra that you possess the Black."

"What Are those Avras means father?"

"I not sure about the other but the Black Avra is the one that everyone in the Corvuscore possesses. But remember don't use that Avra in front of other."

"But why fa...." Before Williem can finished his question suddenly the room get darker and darker. Williem trembles in fear he even lost his balance and falls. Fredrick stands in front of him emitting a purplish black Avra. Fredrick control his Avra, and the room become normal again and speaks

"The Black Avra is feared by many because we can overwhelm someone and make them tremble in fear even lost their conscious and they associated it with chaos and darkness."

"Yes father, I understand."

After that they continue their training. Fredrick start explaining Avra to Williem. That Avra is a power that can be used to locate others, use as barrier or an armour to protect the user and to strengthen one's attack. After training for the whole day, Fredrick suddenly asks Maria to bring him a box that is in his study. Inside the box there is a black with silver accented scabbarded sword with a crow carved on its pommel. He then unsheathes the sword revealing a black bladed sword. he handed the sword to Williem and says, "It's a gift from your mother, she makes it for your coming-of-age present. she even adds her favourite gem, the gem was taken from her own earring and place it on the eyes of the crow."

Williem held up the sword, the sword blade glimmering reflecting the moonlight but the gem on the crow eye shine bright under the moonlight. Williem asks his father what is the sword called? "Raventears" Fredrick answers. Williem then stands up and swears "Father I swears to you that I will use Raventears for protect our people, land and fight for keep our home save." Fredrick smiles and hugs his son while answer "you will."
