faes was in the forest along with blake and sky, carrying her bow aiming at the earthen tiger. they had been coming in the forest for the past year training and hunting. both she and blake had progressed at lot.
blake had mastered his advanced swordsmanship and was now king establishment stage two. his movement technique had also improved but he was still not a match for faes. faes was now at peak noble establishment stage and had learnt advanced swordsmanship along with advanced archery, though she was yet to master them. she also trained in ice and space magic and was able to use it proficiently.
adrian was also in king establishment stage three now and sky was at noble establishment stage four. they both also made rapid progress just like blake and faes, after adrian taught sky how to use the short sword they began practising magic by joining blake and faes on their daily trips in the forest.
even the king and queen with the servants and personal knights and maids were now stronger. king ladon had recently broken through elemental strengthening stage and the queen was at peak king establishment stage. the servants serving them were also now mostly in noble and king establishment stage. their all rapid progress was due to faes and sky, the medicinal pills they made helped everyone not only break through cultivation realm but their continuous martial practice made others force themselves to do their best too.
faes when found out that there were some important pill formulas and potions in the royal library made a trip there and then asked robin and eli (elijah) to buy the ingredients for her. this made her alchemy advance too but it wasn't much because the pills and potions though have the same content and effects, can have different levels of effects based on the person consuming them.
a person might be allergic to one of the herbs and might die eating the medicinal pill or drinking the potion while someone might not be able to absorb the medicinal essence in them. it can be also said that a pill should be made especially with taking the individual's body conditions into sight.
faes just experimented after reading these things in a book and researched different herbs making special energy pills for everyone resulting in rapid progress of everyone.
other than the royal family and their servants no one knew that they were now stronger than before. all this time faes had been keeping an eye out for any kind of attacks and danger but everything had been silent and calm. other than the occasional annoying little tricks played by the noble girls out of jealousy and noble boys who were trying to impress her everything was silent and calm.
faes and sky had been invited to lots of parties and balls which they attended and even hosted a few themselves for their birthday and other occasions. sky can now talk too along with moving like a normal child. she had been growing quite rapidly and looked like a five-year-old even when she was only over a year old currently.
today faes, blake and sky were in the forest to hunt and have fun, they were hiding trying to hunt the earthen tiger which was currently the target faes was focusing on.
sky and blake were also around, hiding in various bushes and trees just like faes who was sitting on a tree branch high up and holding her bow waiting for the signal.
the tiger was currently eating a wild cow oblivious to their presence and the danger it was in. the earthen tiger was a tier 4 beast which not only had lots of strength but it can also use earth magic.
faes noticed the air blades forming around the tiger covering it in a dome shape along with blue fire. it was done by sky who was currently focusing on magic practising, faes noticed blake hiding behind a tree holding his short sword and then the signal appeared.
qi chains rose from the ground binding the tiger restricting its movements and the blades formed around it began to attack. in the end it was heavily injured but faes and blake were still ready to attack. blake shot out from his hiding spot and attacked the tiger while it was destracted and after giving it more serious injuries he went away giving space to faes.
faes smiled as she shot her arrow and vanished from her spot arriving not far away on another tree branch holding another arrow before vanishing again. in the end the tiger was on the verge of death and soon its soul left its body.
faes was practicing both archery and space magic but she wasn't as good as she wanted to be. faes can only shoot ten arrows in a second while staying in a single place while five arrows per second while continuously changing her positions with space magic. faes glanced at her bow and sighed, she will need more practice.
"sister faes we killed it!" sky said appearing near her. sky can also use space magic so she didn't have any problem appearing near faes who was sitting on a huge tree at the highest thick branch. faes smiled at sky and nodded holding her tiny body in case she might fall from this height.
blake watched faes and sky sitting and talking on the high tree branch and shook his head with a smile. his sisters have gotten stronger and grown so much in the past year. while sky was bubbly and talkative and always did things first before thinking faes was opposite. faes didn't speak much and thought before doing anything, though both cared about their people deeply and are understanding.
blake glanced at the tiger and sighed, even if his sisters were kids they were sure ruthless. they had gotten a report that a tier 4 earthen tiger was killing wild animals and only eating a few of them, when faes and sky heard that they directly decided to kill it. blake glanced at the tiger's body covered in deep wounds and the arrows that were halfway dug in its strong body and shivered. he had only landed few hits while his sisters had killed it without even breaking a sweat.
shaking his head and storing the dead body of the tiger after removing the arrows blake called his sisters who were still sitting high in the tree
"are you going to stay there or return back? i heard that mother had ordered some special dishes to be made today that are delicious" blake said smiling when he noticed the sparkling eyes of both his sisters.
he had found out that to call his sisters and made them behave obediently is delicious food. they both loved food and ate a lot! but even then they barely gain weight and stay as fit as one can be. while sky liked eating sweets and meat faes liked to eat spicy food.
"what dishes?" faes asked her eyes sparkling as she appeared in front of him along with sky scaring him. they had been doing this for the past year but he still cant get used to them appearing out of nowhere and scaring the shit out of him.
"stop scaring me like that!" blake scolded them and sighed when he heard them apologize.
"what dishes?" sky repeated faes question as they began to go walk back towards the city.
"that i don't know, you will find out after we get there" blake replied calming his heart which was beating rapidly from that scare.
"then whoever gets back first wins! and whoever comes last will have to buy other two a thing" sky giggled as she called her wings and began flying towards the castle. faes smiled glancing at blake who paused to look at sky, calling her own wings faes followed after sky leaving blake in shock.
"hey! wait for me, i am not going to buy you anything!" blake shouted following after them though he knew that he was already going to loose and end up buying faes and sky something.
