'CHOO!! CHOO!!!!...'The steam train chuffed, clicked and whistled as it went, this was the second train Verner and the hunters entered throughout this journey. It had already been 24 hours since they left Willow valley and they were close to their destination "So damn slow..." Rodric thought, even though the train was literally the fastest means of transportation that existed in this era. "If I had use thunder flash I'd be there in an hour or two" Rodric kept on whining. Brogan laughed, knowing fully when that Rodric can't run at such speed for one hour straight, his body will build up too much heat and burn to ash, Rodric just liked to bluff. Verner didn't even mind any of them, he stuck his head outside the window and watched the landscape, excitement and amazement written all over his face, he saw new kind of animals, people, buildings and infrastructure that he had only heard of before. It was his first day outside the mountains, and he was already loving every second of it...
Daegan wore his long blue and green coat over his all black uniform, his long black hair bundled with white threads to make a single thick braid which ran almost all the way down his back. His face heavily scarred from so many fights with black grade devils throughout his life, including his infamous defeat to Malachar which cost him his left hand, his huge sword with the sea weed quillon hung on his belt. He looked sick, but that was probably because he was over sixty years old already, a feat very few hunters ever achieve. Four attendants stood behind him, two on each side, each wearing the same black uniforms. All four of the other sentinels fell to one knee and bowed their heads to the leader of this generation of guardians and hunters. Verner immediately threw his bags away and fell to the knees to bow after he saw the sentinels ahead of him, and Daegan was quick to notice the presence of an odd personnel, but a familiar one. "Verner?..." he asked, looking very surprised, the o
"Let's train together, and once we're done, you'll never have to ask why a regular human being like me is in HQ" Verner and Tywin were locked in some sort of staring contest, Verner with a stern look on his face, Tywin very agitated, gnashing his teeth, greatly pissed by this newcomer who challenged him before even knowing his name "Common guys that's enough!!..." Astrid got in the middle of the boys and pushed both of them away from each other. "Verner you just got here and you want to start a fight, you're going to leave a bad impression on the higher ups..." Astrid had both her hands on their chests to keep them far from each other "Yeah, yeah...she's right..." Erik cut in, Tywin hissed and Verner scoffed, both boys stepped back, still looking at each other "You're a lucky one boy, better don't mess with me next time or I'll beat you up so bad they're gonna send you back to your mama..." Tywin stopped as he noticed Verner instantly become furious, veins popping out of his h
Verner slid the doors of his room open, the place was very neat and spacious, a bed neatly made with white bed sheets and the windows were covered with blue curtains that were designed with yellow flower patterns, making the room a little dark. A very smooth wardrobe stood at one end of the room, his bags were already stuffed in it. The bathroom door was on another end. Verner couldn't believe they'd go this far just for an intern, he wondered what the rooms of the higher ups looked like. "Wow..." he said in amazement, as he looked around the place, his room in Rodric's house was just as polished as this but less spacious, still it startled him that an intern will have such a nice room "Cool right?..." Astrid asked, bumping his shoulder with her fist to get his attention, Verner just kept on observing the place "Is this what all your rooms look like?""Yup..." Erik dived into Verner's bed face first, ruffling the neatly arranged cotton bed sheets "but I sleep in Astrid's room,
Regalis family house, Fire clan, 5 years ago; Young Tywin laid on the ground in an open field breathing heavily, he wore a black sleeveless martial arts robe and held a wooden sword in his hand, his arms were reddened in different spots as he was getting beat up really badly. "Get up!!!" A bald man behind him shouted, he wore the same robe as Tywin but his was a lot bigger since he was an adult. Tywin slowly got up from the ground, using his spare hand to hold his rib, he was in huge pain, tears building up in his eyes as he tried very hard not to cry, his golden hair was messed up and had a lot of grass on it. He stood on his feet again and raised his wooden sword at the bald trainer, the man had a very hostile look on his face and carried a long wooden staff. Tywin gasped and grunted, he stared at the man furiously. "GRAAAH!!!!" he screamed as he ran towards the trainer with his wooden sword, swinging it as he tried to get a hit, but the trainer kept blocking each of them w
"Alright kids...let's begin" Verner, Erik and Tywin stood on the field in the training camp, the three of them stood in a line with spaces between them. Cedar and Astrid stood in front of them, Astrid was holding a bunch of stuff wrapped with white cloth. The sun had come up fully and the sounds of chirping birds filled the air. All three boys were shirtless this time. Tywin and Verner were very ripped with well toned muscles and abs, Erik on the other hand was quite lean, but still athletic. Cedar walked to-and-fro from one boy to the other and back like some sort of military general, then he stopped in front of Tywin and peered into his eyes, Tywin did the same, looking downwards as he was slightly taller than Cedar. "What's you name boy?" Cedar asked, making a detective face and rubbing his chin "Tywin...Sir""And let me guess you're from the fire clan" "Yes sir...""And why are you here?""What??..." Tywin was confused by Cedar's question "I said, why are you here?,
The sound of a ticking clock was the only thing that could be heard in the partially dark room where Tywin was 'laid to rest'. He opened his eyes slowly and gazed at the roof made of polished wood. The windows were covered with a bunch of yellow translucent curtains and the little light that pierced through them shined on Tywin and his bed. "What...happened?" he thought as he slowly turned his head to look around the room, "this isn't my room". He looked at the clock that was ticking on the wall, it was already two o clock in the afternoon, he sighed and raised his back from the bed and assumed a sitting position, the bed sheets still covering his legs, he rubbed his eyes so he can wipe of the sleepy feeling, then began to hear some voices from outside the room, it gradually got louder as the people talking got closer to the door, then the knob rolled and door opened slightly. Verner peeked through the slim space and saw Tywin on the bed, then withdrew his head quickly; "Hey gu
Red diamond hotel, Palm City, 4 nights ago;The corridor floors of the massive hotel was lined with very fine red carpets woven with golden trims and designs, doors to different rooms were arranged on each side, the walls were decorated with exquisite paintings and vases, some containing flowers, others just for aesthetic purposes, a few small but dazzling sculptures were present too, yellow lights that lined the walls shined in the corridors, making the place look even more fancy and royal. A woman dressed in a black gown with white puffy trims dusted the vases and paintings, she tied her brown hair into a bun with a white cloth. "Elena" A man called her from down the corridor, she turned to reply him. "How may I help sir?" she bowed slightly to show her respect. The man walked slowly towards her, the sounds of his footsteps echoed through the lonely corridor, he had black hair and wore a suit, his skin very pale and his eyes glowing orange. "The manager sends for you, he's in t
