I was in cart with Stella. It was leading to Stella's master's place.
"How much more time?"
"Just some more" She replied.
"Why do you want to kill the Imperial Dragon?" I asked her looking straight at her.
"13 years ago, he destroyed a whole village"
"My village, My family, My everything" Tears in her eyes.
"I want him dead"
"Fair enough" I replied.
"What about you?"
"Why do you want to kill him?" She asked. me still few tears in her eyes.
"Same reason" I replied
"Oh" she said
Few hours later we arrived at a temple like place.
As we went inside.
There was a old man Standing on one leg.
"Master" Stella called him and bowed in front of him.
"Master i am sorry i couldn't beat him i lost"
"who is him?" Old man asked stella.
"Master this is Rath he wants to know about Waves" she said to him
"Rath"
"You want to know about waves?"
"Yes" I replied. with a serious look
"Come with me" He said
"Go with master he will test your aura" Stella said.
"Ok" I said.
As we enter room he makes me sit there silent.
Few hours pass by.
"Rath from today your training began"
"I have tested your aura it's immense"
"You will be a great student"
As I go outside there is another person with Stella. He was tall he had a pale skin. hazel eyes white hair.
"Oh Rath meet Gin and Gin this is rath" Stella said
We exchange hi and hellos for few moments.
At Night
I was training to master my new sword.
"Hello Rath" Gin called me.
"Training huh"
"Yes" I replied.
"I am learning to use this new sword"
"Nice" Gin replied.
"You know i was 5years old when master Vann took me in"
"They teach me about aura and everything"
"There were master Caelus as well"
"Caelus?" I asked.
"Oh you don't know right"
"There are 3 masters in this immense temple"
"Master Vann who you met expert in aura, Master Caelus expert in weaponry and master Ebonhex master of curses" Gin said to me
I hummed to him.
"Master Ebonhex is called The Night Oath"
"He shows himself when he wants too"
"By the way your sword is pretty big"
"I know. That's why i am trying to learn it" I replied.
"Wanna have a friendly dual?" He asked
"Why not" I replied.
As we both wield our swords.
"So the rules are simple whoever manages to damage the other person first wins" He said
Swung

Clank
Our swords clashed to each other.
He is a lot faster than i thought.
"Stop both of you" A voice came.
Gin saw and bowed.
"Master Caelus"
"Who are you?" Caelus asked me staring at my soul.
"I am Rath. I am new here" I replied.
"That sword is it your?"
"Yes" I replied to Caelus.
"That sword"
"That sword is Ashwatch"
"It was made by my ancestors" He said
I was shocked as well as Gin was shocked too.
"Wait what do you mean?" I replied.
"My ancestors made that sword 1000 of years ago, until it was taken by the Imperial Dragon" He said
I was shocked too much i didn't expected this.
"That's a Legendary sword kid"
"Take a good care of it" he said
After saying that he left.
"You should go to sleep u need to wake up early tomorrow" Gin said.
"Yeah" I replied.
As i was walking through hallway i stumbled upon stella.

"Hi" I replied.
"So are you ready for tomorrow?" she asked.
"Yes" I replied
"So what about your family?" I asked.
"They all are dead" She replied.
"I am sorry for that" I said.
"It's ok, what about your family?"
"Wedge killed them all only my father was alive so i went to meet him hoping he would take me in"
"And i came to know he has remarried to another women and i got to know the girl i was thinking is my sister isn't my sister actually"
"And he died in that fire that day i only have my sister who was his daughter from another mother left"
