In the the monastery the head monk spoke with other teachers of the tragedy of his daughters and her husbands death. And tells them that their son will be training with them their ways until he's ready to travel the world on his own.
"Grand master. as by our customs we will welcome him as if he is one of our own." One of the monk masters says
"Very well My grandson will being his training tomorrow along with the other children." The grand master says sagely.
The monks discussed about how they would train and raise Valgrim. And The grand master says that he is still a child and he should start in meditation training. Then must do physical trainings.
They all agreed and went off to do their own things. The grand master is sitting behind a table writing scrolls.
"Sit next to me grandson." The grand master says to his grandson as he's points to his right.
Valgrim is sitting next to his grandpa. But Valgrim still has a face of hopelessness. His grandfather pats his head.
"Do you know how to play the flute like your father did Valgrim?" His grandfather asked trying to raise his grandsons spirit up
"No...I never played it but papa said it would take time and practice." Valgrim says gloomy
"Well he's right. Most training takes time and practice but it also takes determination. I know that they are gone from this world. And we miss them as well but they are never going to leave our hearts. As long as we remember them they will be with us in spirit." He says to his grandson
"Your grandfather is right Valgrim you must not let their death get to you. Sure they are gone but they kept you safe. Remember what your father wrote to ya. To go with the flow and when destiny gives you a obstacle take a leap of faith." Says dust.
Valgrim stands up and looks up to the sky. He closes his eyes and remembers of all the good things that his parents did with him. He begins to smile as he starts to hum the melody of his fathers whistle flute.
"Grandpa...I will promise you this." Valgrim says
"What's that grandson?" The grand master says
"That I will hunt down those monsters who kill my family." Valgrim says with a toothy grin
"Well I'm glad to see that your spirit is back . But I will warn you that this training is very difficult you must be strong. Are you willing to handle such rigorous training?" The grand master asked
Valgrim nods sagely to his grandfathers training. Valgrim and his grandfather talked to the other monks and a few of the other kids who will train along side with Valgrim.
Valgrim went to bed and begins to sleep.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~~•~•~•~•~•
"Mama! Papa!" Valgrim shouts
Valgrim sees his parents laying dead at the feet of a strange creatures on with a skull of a dear and wears moss like a robe. A very well dressed man with red eye and fangs. A strange monsters with a octopus head but only four tentacles. And a very big hulking black horned demon.
All four says in unison
"From the light comes the dark and enslaves mortals to The their true gods."

Valgrim jerks up waking up and was frightened as if he relieved his parents death.
"Ah finally awake are you?" Dust says to Valgrim.
"What happen I was at home?" Valgrim says frightened
"Well sir you are in your grand fathers monastery. Your gonna become a monk" dust says to Valgrim
Valgrim pets dust and smiles. And he heard a knock on his door. Valgrim hesitating to open the door.
"Yes who's there?" Valgrim asked
"It your grandfather. I have a gift for you." The grand master says to his grandson
Valgrim opens his door and sees his grandfather holding a set of clothing for him.
"These were made by your grandmother she wanted you wear them during the time you stay here." Said The grand master
Valgrim puts on the black gi made for him and thanks his grandfather for letting him stay with him.
"Now it's time to begin your training. You must first clear your mind achieving inner peace by blocking out worldly negativity." The grand master says
"Ok I will try." Valgrim replies
As Valgrims training progress more and more. As well ah his age ten years has passed and Valgrim made a discovery. He discovered that he poses magic powers in him and he became a warlock. Later that afternoon Valgrim begins sparing with another monk but something was odd about that monk he's not a human nor is he any animal he's a tabaxi. Tabaxi are a race of feline creatures that walk and talk like a human. The two boys began throwing punches
"Come on Valgrim is that all you got?" lok says with a smirk plastered on his face as he blocked Valgrims punches.
"I rather stay focus more on the match than running your loud mouth lok." Valgrim replies as he attacks lok.
Valgrim leaps back and takes a stance. Lok lunges at Valgrim and goes for a palm strike. But Valgrim pushes his arm away and spikes him in the chest with his knee.
"Looks like I win again lok. And next time don't pick on the little kids who are trying to learn flurry of blows." Valgrim says to lok as he Gives him a hand.
"I don't need your help your lucky The grand master is your grandfather or you will be sorry." Lok says smacking his hand away
Lok gets up and starts limping away. The grand master saw the whole match and was impressed with how his grandson improved over the last ten years.
"Your improving grandson. I'm sure he didn't mean what he said lok tends to get selfish and will pick on the weak. But I'm proud that you fight with honor and not let your emotions get to you. Like lok but you still have a lot to learn." The grand master says as he's bowing
"Thank you grandfather I will continue doing my very best." Valgrim says as he bows back
Another ten years have passed. And now Valgrim is now 25 years old and now is ready to travel the world. Valgrim learned that his blood can summon two weapons if he can draw their proper symbols on his hand. But he can only summon one weapon per battle.
"Ok I'm ready to travel. Are you ready dust?" Valgrim asked his familiar
"Well seeing how you already pack I have no choice." Dust chuckled
"Haha very funny. Now come on let's go." Valgrim says back
Valgrim hears his door knocking. And enters his grandfather with two gifts.
"Here. Happy birthday my grandson. I originally made these for your father but you are his son and I would like you to use it." The grand master says as he hands Valgrim a black chain with a snake at the end of the link, and a small empty bag.
"Umm grandpa what's in the bag?" Valgrim asked.
"It's a bag of holding you can store anything inside and you won't have to carry anything heavy. Also wear a cloak to hide your tail and horns. This world fears your kind but try to not draw attention to your self grandson." The grand master says
"Very well grandfather. And thank you so much. Also say bye for grandma for me." Valgrim says to grandfather and hugs him
Valgrim puts his hood up and began his adventure to discover the world. And also hunt down the monsters that killed his parents.
