Once the group was dismissed from the throne room they were being escorted to their abodes one by one Balderic was the first followed by Steve and Kanied and it was finally Eredeti's time to welcome his new temporarily home
"Here is your room sir" Commander Eric said
"Thank you commander" Eredeti said
"No need for thanks this was a simple greeting from the king and I am simply extending mine as well, nevertheless your welcome" Eric said
"Farwell until the mission is to commence in a weeks worth of time if you wish to leave you must alert the gates guards first and give a time of your expected return"
"Very well, until next time commander" Eredeti said
"Indeed, until then" Eric said as he left
'Hmph now what should I do now, although I am a little fatigued I'm still very awake' Eredeti thought to himself
Eredeti started to look through the room he was granted which was already as big as a house with a massive bathroom with a rather large and exquisite looking bath accompanied with a shower and a whole range of pleasantries although not as rich as the walls of the throne room it was nevertheless impressive, as the bedroom was adorned with paintings of all kinds from simple fruits to battlefields
"Quite impressive" Eredeti said to himself
The bed itself probably took up a quarter of the room by itself looking to able to support nearly 50 people as is Eredeti then went to go sit down on the bed as he removed his extra baggage and put down his weapons and removed his armor he picked up the sword he had received sometime ago in the house he grabbed it from and surprisingly it didn't even looked chipped it was still in perfect shape as he grabbed the edge of the bed sheet he made a slight cut to see it still had all of its sharpness and has yet to become even slightly dull
"Wow I thought I would at least have to sharpen once we got here but to see it have not even a scratch amazing" Eredeti said
"although I wish I could say the same for my short sword" Eredeti said
Eredeti then reached to pick up his short sword as it was a little chipped its exterior looked rather dull and getting to the point of rusty it was nothing but a stick compared to his long sword however he couldn't bare to get a new one
'Of all the experiences I have gone through since waking up here you have helped me the most' Eredeti thought to himself
Although he was a little sentimental of letting it go he knew he had to get a new one or repair it and who better to ask than Steve who was the only one who truly knew about weapons and how to use them which reminded Eredeti
'I don't really know how to use a sword do I?' Eredeti thought to himself
"Haaaahhh" Eredeti could only sigh at this revalation
'I guess I better ask for some training then' Eredeti thought
As Eredeti was training in his room just using random moves to what came to his mind as he was building up a sweat he realized that his moves were rather unrefined he was making sloppy movements when he didn't have to do so as he corrected his movements slowly but surely his movements started to improve becoming more efficient yet not on the level of someone who has trained and refined their art for their entire lives
Eredeti was getting better at the second almost feeling like he knew that the moves he was performing was truly an swordsman art and not just some random movements of pitiful swinging and movements
He held his sword steady hilt at his waist reading to strike once more as he felt a sudden rush to his head he fell to the ground with a throbbing headache as he held his head which was drenched with sweat
"Aghhhh!" Eredeti grunted out in pain
Eredeti got up and struggled to his bed as he fell down on it immediately with his head throbbing with pain as he laid down he thought he simply needed some rest and that he overdid his body or he was simply dehydrated as he ran over to the bathroom quickly and turned on the sink as he grabbed handfuls of water drinking each handful vigorously and as he washed away his sweat off his forehead he felt the Headache persisting on and not leaving his conscious
'Maybe I just need sleep' Eredeti said
As Eredeti staggered towards his bed he threw himself onto it however the headache was not fading as it was simply getting worse by the second
"Argghh damnit!" Eredeti shouted out in pain
Eredeti kept rolling over trying to force himself to sleep he tried to distract himself with his own thoughts however the headache was simply raging as Eredeti felt like his head was splitting open Eredeti felt like it was similar as if he had felt this pain before but before he could thing of anything more his eyes slowly started to turn a deep orange color as the pain worsened
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Eredeti screamed out in pain
--------------------------
-Skill ????? is taking affect
---------------------------
Eredeti couldn't even hear the sound of the all to familiar ping and instead passed out then and there as his body looked as if steam was coming off of it when it was simply his unconscious use of his mana that was constantly being consumed as his healing factor was being over loaded even though he was not injured in any way shape or form because the healing factor of his could only heal physical wounds not mental
Eredeti finally stopped screaming and instead completely passes out on his bed as he was put in a deep sleep
As Eredeti awoke this time he felt groggy slow and lazy as he heard a familiar sound of armored steps walking his way as he felt a deathly cold near him even though he felt a immediate threat to his life he still couldn't pull the strength to look up and see the being in front of him
"foolish child" The armored being said
"Who? who are you?" Eredeti asked who was at the time barely holding on to his concious
"You really expected to accept the shard without consequence? truly foolish" He said
"What shard? what are you talking about?" Eredeti asked
"You will see sooner or later, for no however remember" The being said as he knelt down and put his hand on Eredeti's head as he grabbed he lifted it up to look straight into his ghastly deep green eyes
The instant their eye's met Eredeti felt as if his eyes were connecting with his through an unseen force as if he opened his eyes under water and was being forced to keep them open then darkness....
When Eredeti came back to his senses he heard a man talking to him it was a rather rough one yet smooth and gentle
"Once more" He head the man say
As Eredeti fully opened his eyes he saw a man with silver hair and a silver beard looking down at him (*authors note think the eternal emperor from swtor)
"huh?" Eredeti said by confusion
"I said get up once more you can't expect your enemies or monsters to grant you such an opportunity can you?" The man said
"What do you mean?" Eredeti said
The man instantly kicked Eredeti to the side when he refused to get back up with a sudden sting to the side of his ribs however he couldn't feel the attack coming almost as if the strike wasn't even meant for him
*Cough*cough "What the hell was that for?!" Eredeti asked
"Good I see you still have spirit I feared you had hit your head to hard but what can I expect from my son" The old man said as he gave a slight smirk
Eredeti not willing to give in just yet to this old mans remarks stood up as fast as he could as he saw the sword come flying his way he tried to block instantly just to fail and get hit in the side of his face it was almost as if the sword just reappeared below him and struck him
As Eredeti fell down once again the old man stared at him with cold eyes
"Come on son I thought you better than this" He said
"Please, I'm just waiting for a moment to strike!" Eredeti said as he charged in once more
This time the old man went on the defensive as if to show Eredeti how useless he was against him whether it be offensive or defensive Eredeti then rose his sword to the side and struck but at the last moment he turned it up to redirect the trajectory however the instant Eredeti changed his direction so did the old man
As the old man blocked the strike then quickly parried it striking Eredeti away
"I could've killed you 3 times there" The old man said
"What do you expect me to do I can't beat you" Eredeti said as he stood up once more
"My son, you must adapt like the Azmardian sword that I wish to teach you, for this form is the most prominent of the land for it is formless and instead adapts to every attack and defense it encounters" Father said
"I don't know what that even means" Eredeti said
The man then walked up to Eredeti who was standing looking up at him and in the blink of an eye father once again striked Eredeti as fast as possible with no intent what so ever Eredeti could barely react before he was forcefully pushed to the ground once more
"Aghh" Eredeti gasped out in pain
"That my son is called null, another part of the Azmardian sword although the ability of being able to adapt to any fight is pleasing and rather useful the real power is the absence of presence and intent as if you were staring at a wall or a tree, you would never expect them to lash out against you now would you" Father said
"Please as if a tree or wall could do that!" Eredeti said in a annoyed tone
"hahhaha" father laughed
"You speak truth my son, but that is why, null is the true power of the sword form I teach you for you must pass on this legacy to all those you would consider your close apprentices or better yet your children" Father said
"Please I don't even know if I'll be able to learn this" Eredeti said as he readied himself once more
However the experience was cut short as time froze as Eredeti looked around in disbelife
"What was that? it was like I was in control but yet wasn't" Eredeti said to himself
Eredeti was once more in his plane of darkness as he saw a glowing window in front of him

willed his return as he was being sucked back into his body he could feel shaking and someone call his name
"Eredeti!" the voice said
"Wake up! you idiotic bastard!?" Another voice said
"Huh Kanied and.. Balderic?" Eredeti said
