Lyra's POV
Celestiasis 14th, year 5089
I've been training and living in Fhell with Aleron for so long and I'm already used to the hot environment on Fhell... I can't really tell exactly what's the date and time today, I've lost track on time ever since Aleron mentioned that the time in Fhell flows slower than the time in the surface... But he told me that almost 3 months already passed. It's time for another training from Aleron, despite my training on all my life, I can't seem to surpass Aleron, but this time, I'll definitely beat him in a spar. I positioned in a calm stance, I drew my sword and hold it tight. He also did the same, by unsheathing his sword from it's scabbard.
"..."
I initiated first by lunging towards Aleron attempting a stab, but as always he moves fast and dodged my attack, also countering by attempting a slash behind me. I quickly reacted to it by quickly twisting my body and deflecting his attack, then I backed away.
"Not bad, Lyra. I have one last lesson for you... Do you know, Blade Arts?"
I looked at him.
"Yes... I am familiar in it and I do possess one, but can't quite do it.."
He narrows his eyes to mine.
"Do that Blade Art. You're not trusting yourself, how could you destroy Hestium if you're hesitant?"
I nodded my head, as I focus my mind and body, closing my eyes. I imagine my sword coating in a Radiant Light of Hope and Vengeance, a Light to melt the Hestium, and a Light to bring Retribution. As I open my eyes my sword is already glowing in Light element.
"It works..."
I stood to where I am, as I'm dumbfounded in my own newfound power.
"Don't slack off!"
He lunges towards me, but this time he really attempts to kill me as if he's testing me.
"Lightkin Art: Rising Edge."
In a quick response, I swing my sword upwards in an arcing motion that clashed with Aleron's sword. In the past few months I couldn't even move my sword when it clashed against his sword, but this time my sword won, deflecting his sword.
"Impressive..!"
As his sword flies, he admitted defeat making me the winner. I Sheathed my sword back.
"Thank you for training me, Aleron. I look forward for anothe-"
"There will be no more training. You have proven yourself worthy... I saw it in your eyes... You have a bright future, Lyra. You can only train yourself from now on."
He smiles sheathing his sword after grabbing it from the ground.
"I see... Then I'll return stronger. I'll train and train myself non-stop, until I have the power to take on Hestium myself."
He laughs for a moment then looked at me again.
"Very well. I'll be going to the Castle of Iffrin... Farewell, Lyra."
