SON OF HEARTH - The Great Prophecy

Chapter 5

The last few years have been hectic with training from dad and mom on my new powers. They each got a year to train me in the real world, which considering the amount of time, I became a great swordsman. In fact I am so good that Triton could no longer teach me and I have to rely on dad who I am starting to beat. I am also a master with my parents powers, all thanks to the room that Ouranus added. its quite amazing if we are being honest, I mean I know the deity did some bad stuff when he was king but he has to have changed. No one can stay evil for that long.

Speaking of Ouranus one would think that a primordial deity would be a lot more time punctual. I mean dad is late a lot and mom sometimes is late but one would think a deity of supreme power would be more punctual. Unless the higher you are in power the less you care, cause that would suck.

As I was thinking to myself I got a nagging feeling in the back of my head and quickly pulled my sword out just in time to stop a detrimental blow to my arm. However it made me slide back from the force. I looked up to see Ouranus smirking at me as I disconnected our blades, spinning as Ouranus went for a slash at my waist I parried it and went for my watch tapping it as it came to life covering me in near indestructible armor, along with my shield.

I blocked his next blow with my shield before quickly turning and making a slash at his arm which he blocked but he left his left side open for a blow from my shield which I took advantage of. He looked at me in shock before punching me in the chest causing me to slide back as I caught my breath.

I charged quickly going into a baseball slide underneath him before hopping up and taking a slash at his back, but he turned in time to swipe my blade away. However I still managed to hit him full force with my shield causing him to stumble back as I then followed through with a uppercut of my shield making him fall to the ground however he used the winds to pick himself up and start hitting me with a flurry of attacks.

All of which I had to dodge, because when I tried to parry one it forced me back from the strength of the blow. It was constant dodging for what felt like hours however was probably minutes before I found an opening. He always followed a downward slash with a stab. I waited until the next downward slash, and when it came I sidestepped the stab blocking it with my shield while putting my sword to his neck asking, "Do you yield Ouranus?"

He nodded his head making me sigh in relief however that quickly disappeared as he swung his sword in an attempt to chop me in half to which I used my shield to block. I glared at him as he nodded in approval.

"That was better than what I could have hoped for Perseus you never let your guard down even when you thought I was beaten. I want you to never let your guard down after a fight you never know if your enemy is truly down for the count or just fooling you so you can let your guard down."

I nodded my head in understanding as he then grinned at me.

"Now how about those powers."

I gulped before shaking my head, letting Ouranus know I haven't practiced with them at all.

He sighed in disappointment "Perseus you must try to use your powers like you would you natural ones such as fire or healing. Just imagine them in a different way like a lightning bolt or gust of wind."

I nodded my head before imagining a bolt of lightning hitting the ground a few feet in front of me. I heard a low rumble and a tug in my gut before a flash of light and a deafening boom hit a few feet in front of me causing the ground to shake.

I looked up to see the area where I imagined the lightning bolt was scorched, and smoke was coming up from it. Ouranus turned to me, "Perseus that was well done for your first time now I want you to cause a gust of wind to blow those leaves in the air."
