◬◭Chapter 2/ Training◮◬

Alright, so this is the training chapter, so I am pumped! I hope you enjoy this chapter, Also I'm a huge Rengoku simp.

Somewhere on a tall ass mountain:

I have followed my new sensei named Anakin, to a mountain called Iragon mountain. Its surrounded by forest, and at the summit is a large hole, sorta like a volcano, except it has a huge lake on the inside instead of lava, and vegetation grows around Iragon lake and there's and exit point luckily. Near the peak of the mountain is a hut with wisteria trees growing around it, where Anakin resides.

"How, much, longer?" I ask as my lungs burn from the high altitude and 6 hours of walking. "Where almost there" Anakin says as he sounds as though he's done this every day! We make it to a small hut, where I'll be living for who knows how long. "Welcome to my home, get comfy, cause tomorrow you start your training" Anakin says as I'm taken aback on what he said.

"I can, barely, breath, up here" I complain as Anakin just shrugs. "You will grow accustom to the high altitude" Anakin says as he takes off his mask. Now I can see what he looks like. He has many burn marks on his face with bright green eyes. "Please try and avoid asking me about the burns" he says and I just nod slightly. We enter the hut is its really fancy, despite living on the side of a mountain.

There's 5 banners of a sword with a black holder and white marking on it, along with feather surrounding the sword. However the middle one is different, it has a white sword with gold feathers surrounding it. "While training with me, you will learn techniques to help slay demons, known as breathing techniques. There are many techniques that have been passed down, and now I choose you to inherit my breathing technique" Anakin explains with a serious look on his face.

"What is your breathing technique?" I ask curiously. "Its known as feather breathing, one of the oldest breathing techniques, formed when the first Sun Breather was around" Anakin explains looking at the middle banner. "However that's not the only breathing technique you'll learn, however I wont tell you what the other one is until you master feather breathing" he says while pointing at the middle banner.

"At first you'll do stretches and flexibility exercises because a feather breather must be elegant, swift, and flexible, because feather breathing techniques feels like dancing, that's how I feel when using a breathing technique though" Anakin says standing up. "Once you learn the basics and all that, The training will become a lot harder for you, do you think you can do it?" He asks and I nod excitedly.

"what about demons breaking in?" I ask slightly worried. "Don't worry, the wisteria wards away demons, like a repellent. Even the strongest demons can't stand the smell of wisteria" Anakin explains while I nod as my worries wash away. "And even if a demon does come up here, you have a former Hashira protecting you" Anakin says proudly with his fist on his chest. "What's a Hashira?" I ask and he sweat drops.

"A Hashira is the highest ranked demon slayer in the entire corps, second only to the leader, however you will start off as Mizunoto, the lowest ranked" He says with a hint of pride. "Why did you retire?" I ask and his face becomes gloomy, but still has a smile on his face. "It was 10 years ago, some friends of mine were murdered by a horrid demon, a husband, his wife, and son" He explains, now I feel guilty. "What were they like?" I ask and he smiles brightly.

"Where do I start? Serenity was the wife of Diablo, but I never knew what the son's name was. Serenity was a beautiful woman with such a compassionate heart, always putting others before herself. Diablo, he was a brave man, a man I respected highly. There was 1 thing that bugged me though, it was that Serenity was a demon" He explains and I gasp at the demon part. "However Serenity had never eaten a human, as far as I know, and I never expected her and her husband, who was human, to have a child" Anakin smiles while looking up at the ceiling.
