Cutting Blaze

After a few twists and turns we finally reached to training area, she pushed open the door and it turns out it was on a massive balcony in the castle and as you look around you see a familiar face

"Henderson!" He looks over at you

"Oh? do you two know each other?" Clavis said.

Henderson began "No, I don't believe so. Who are you?" you lift your mask

"It's me remember?"

"Ah yes! I trained this boy for a while in my time at Calmite. But how are you alive? and why are you with Clavis?"

"Well..." you gave him a summarized version of the story

"So he's dead then... good."

"For now at least"

"So now your going to train swordsmanship and magic?"

"Yep, that's the idea!"

"Well I wish you luck then. Will he be my student again?"

Clavis began "Yes, but today im just showing him around the castle so he can get used to things"

"Alright, well I won't keep you any longer"

"See you tomorrow" You and Clavis walk back in the castle

"I've never seen him talk to someone so casually before. First I'll show you to your room then..." She continued the tour until the sun started to set "Well I think thats all the important stuff out of the way, you should go get some rest, training starts tomorrow." you walk into your room which you share with Terram, it was candle lit since the sun already went down,

"So how'd the meeting with the king go?" Terram asked

"Overall pretty well, he gave me a kings seal thing and I was told to start training magic and swordsmanship tomorrow."

"A kings seal...!" He took a second to process it.

"Is it that big a deal?"

"Dude, its a huge deal! he's essentially given you the authority of a king! How'd you manage to get it?"

You hang up your cloak and mask "I don't know I was acting like myself and I guess he took a liking to me" he seemed kinda peeved, then sighed,

"So who's im guessing Henderson's your swordsmanship teacher?"

"Yeah, and I guess I'll be training with you from now on with Clavis"

"I guess so. You should get some sleep" we both laid down and blew out the candles and slept" The next day everything went about as you'd expect, first I sparred with Henderson and he let me know what I could work on, then I went to Clavis's lab and she told me about the fundamentals of my magic types, it turns out fire magic is offensive but can also be used to enforce your body, and demonic magic is extremely hard to control but is the hardest hitting magic type, after that you would go back to your room, talk with Terram, who trained on his own, then went to sleep, this schedule repeated for a few days, until today when you finally get to learn a spell.

"Today I finally get to learn a spell right?"

"Yep, today we'll start with something simple, reinforcing your sword with fire"

"That's simple?"

"Comparatively yeah. First hold your sword and close your eye's" you did just that "Now focus, try to imagine your sword covered in fire but not the hilt, focus" As you try to listen to her you remembered perfectly the time you were possessed and your sword was flaming, the memory still haunts you as you cut down innocents "...rew!... ndrew!.... Andrew!"

"You open your eye's to see your sword spewing fire everywhere like a volcano, you drop the sword and it put itself out. "What happened?!" Clavis said

"I..I... sorry, I remembered something and then this happened."

"I see, well let's try again tomorrow"

"Let me try again, I can do it!"

"Well... Alright, one more time." you go back to that memory and try to isolate the sword and that's all, after a moment you got it, you opened your eyes and saw your sword covered in a layer a flames. Clavis started clapping "Only the second try, great job! Try swinging it." you swung it and it worked just fine "Lets head to the training yard"

You follow her and once you get there,

"Ah Clavis, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Henderson was still there,

"I wanted Andrew to test something for me"

"Alright, go ahead"

"Well you don this might be a bit of a stretch but, imagine as you swing it a wave of fire launches from it"

"Okay I'll try..." you swing you sword and try to imagine it but all that comes out is a tiny plume of fire that could only be used as a candle lighter.

"Well I guess it was asking to much, still great job getting Cutting Blaze so fast"

"Cutting Blaze?"

"That's the name of the spell. Anyway that's all for today, see you tomorrow."
