The monster inside of me.

Chapter 10: Training

I went on to bed as my father and uncle talked. Still weird how...my father pops up out the blue.

In the morning

" 'almunaqdah. It is time for you to awake for training."

I hesistated to get up before actually getting up. I yawn before walking towards the door. Sliding it open, I walk into the main hallway where I see father.  Rayiys shaytan puts his hand on my shoulder and walks me into the dining area before showing me a empty table. He holds a straight face before saying

" 'almunaqdah.  I will not train you. Your father will. It will be intense but I have very high hope in you."

I kneel and put my left hand over my chest and say

"Yes shaytan."

He grins before father walks in and says

"Ready for training?"

I nod yes before we walk outside the chamber and into the flat plain of land.

"Pain is a obstacle. A illusion." He says before grabbing a blade and cutting his palm.

He wipes the blood off and shows me to a small table. Sitting with our legs crossed, ge pours some hot tea into a small cup before I say

"What is it?"

He grins and says

"A meditative tea. Opens your mind and body."

We both drink it before he puts it down and closes his eyes. He exhales before saying

"The great monks would meditate six times a day before beginning their training. You will need to open your spirit and mind before we open your body." He says before sipping his tea.

Time skip
Weeks later

We meditated and meditated every day and drink the tea. For countless hours and honestly it was getting...frustrating. Just sitting there. I get up and say

"How is meditating gonna help me release myself? We been meditating for months now and I wanna do what everybody else is doing." I said pouting

This was a mistake as he sips his tea and dropkicks me on the floor. Immediately I get up and try to punch him but not before he grabs me by the arm and breaks it. Tears roll down my face before I scream and yell

"Your CRAZY!!"

He smiles before saying

"You're right. I had been training you like my son but it won't do anything. I'll have to train you like you're a student." He says before punching me in my chest multiple times before kicking me in it.

Knocking the air out of me I stumble to get up before he helps me up and flips me on my back. I laid on my back as he begins to walk away.

" 'almunaqdah. You have alot of work to do." He says before running up to me and about kick me

I quickly get up and punch him in the stomach before grabbing the sword blade from a table and aiming it at his throat. He claps before putting the blade down slowly and saying

"You're ready for training."

He grabs the sword and puts it back on the table before we walk back to the temple. I see a lady wearing a leather hoodie with a quiver full of bows and a bow in her hand with a black face mask concealing her face. She puts the bow down before walking towards me and taking off her mask.

" 'aliks. Hi. How are you?" I say a little frightened

" I am well 'almunaqdah. I see you will be training today."
