Rise To Annwn

Chapter 8 how I came to be

The first day of training Cynthia says that the training will feel like chunks.

But what he was not prepared for was the constant danger he was in every second.

When he would eat, Claire or Cynthia would take his food, when he would take a bath random spells were sent his way. When he would try to sleep some nights Cynthia would blow the room sky high literally.

Each second of his day was used to train his perceptive skills and ability.

One day she will teach Sora all that he needs to know, the rest he will be training on those concepts.

That pattern repeated over and over again.

On the first day, Cynthia taught Sora the 5 ways to use ether and how ether functions.

The first manipulation, this is when you manipulate your innate etheric energy, it is pretty simple. You manipulate anything inside your ether be it surrounding an object and pulling it around the place.

The second application, this is primarily used to amplify the human body increasing speed, strength, durability and the senses. It can also be used to amplify an item or a weapon.

The third is separation. This is used to separate etheric energy from the body. This is one of the main steps to make a projectile spell.

Fourth is transformation. This is where you transform your etheric energy into a solid state such as an element or a weapon.

The last is affinity this is something you get born with. Cynthia barely went into it.

When asked she was silent.

The first few training session were not bad. It was filled with light training mixed with sparring. Sora never once took a victory.

Every fight he left with almost all bones in his body broken but Cynthia fixed him up from near death every time.

Throughout every day, Cynthia reminded him that she was making a fighting style for him and it was going to get way harder later on.

This thought terrified Sora as he was already being broken every day.

When Cynthia was in a bad mood she would stab Sora in his sleep every few minutes in order to increase his durability.

Some days they would go around the massive world to train in a certain environment.

Sometimes in the desert leaving him by fend for himself. Sometimes in the middle of the ocean, in the sky, space. Cynthia knew no bounds well because nothing could stop her concepts like laws and science meant nothing to her.

The first day he learned about an affinity was the day Cynthia called him to meet her, she wanted to talk to him.

He made sure to sprint there so he didn't get killed.

Cynthia was like a Spartan's Spartan. She pushed Sora to the breaking point several times and almost broke him on a multitude of occasions.

The sun shined overhead it was the middle of the day.

He meets up with Cynthia under a tree she seemed to have been waiting long. She was a bit irritated.

"So you're finally here"

"Yes, sorry" Sora quickly covering from what he believed was certain death.

"Today is the day where I work on your affinity"

"Finally"

"Think of it like this everyone has a bowl. Everyone's bowl may vary in size and texture but what remains the same is the fact it is a bowl. What is in the bowl that changes everything?
