"Do you want me to buy a few books for you? Now that you can't get out, you'll surely be bored." Amaris asked Erin worriedly.
She was sorry as she was the reason why the woman got scolded earlier. Amaris should have just listened to Erin and went back to the hall instead of going to the temple of love.
"No, I'm fine. I will just practice my swordsmanship. It's been so long since I held my sword. I already missed it." Erin responded, looking straight at the woman.
Amaris smirked, "Should we?"
Grinning, Erin nodded. "Let's do it later. I want to rest for a while. Tell them to prepare the clothes that I will be wearing."
Amaris chuckled and nodded. She follow what her friend had said and quickly went out. Erin doesn't like to have maids around her. That's why they usually wait outside.
Walking towards their direction, "Prepare the clothes for later. Erin and I will practice swordsmanship. Make sure to clean her sword too." Amaris commanded.
"Yes, Goddess Amaris," placing both of their hands together, the servants in unison bowed their heads.
Amaris smiled and nodded her head. She went outside for a while to pick up some flowers that Erin would surely like.
"Amaris! Where is Erin? I want to take her to the diamond river." Callan, out of nowhere popped out, causing the woman to be startled.
Amaris's hand went on Callan's shoulders, hitting it loudly. "You shocked me, Callan!"
Callan laughed out loudly when he saw the priceless reaction of Amaris. "I'm so sorry, but where is Erin?"
"Erin is scolded again by Azura, she can't go out. Now, Goodbye" Amaris shook her head as she waved her hands towards the man.
Before Callan could utter something, Amaris already swayed her hands sideways, teleporting her back to Erin's hall.
"What took you so long, Amaris?" Erin asked the woman when she saw her pouting her lips.
"The God of Apocalypse was making fun of me again." The woman pouted, walking in Erin's direction.
Erin chuckled, "Did Callan, bothered you again?"
Amaris nodded as she took a deep breath. "Here is flowers to be placed in your room."
"Thank you for this, Amaris." Erin smiled.
"Now, let's go duel," Amaris grinned as she stood up and raise her brows to the woman.
Erin smiled eerily and nodded her head. "Who wins will have 1 wish?"
"Deal," Amaris grimaced.
***
The sounds of the swords flickering through each other were the only sound that can be heard through the whole garden.
The servants were scattered around, witnessing the battle between the two women in the middle.
Erin was wearing a red fitted dress that was designed for her training. Her hair was in a nicely tight bun that would be of a great use for her to not have any distraction. While in her hand was a golden pleated sword.
"Is that the only thing you can do, Erin?" Amaris mocked when she saw how Erin stopped for a while.
Erin's eyes quickly fixed over Amaris after hearing what she uttered. Her gaze shifted quickly that gave a more serious atmosphere throughout the place.
Erin jumped out and striked over Amaris whom the woman quickly dodged. Amaris attacked back, kicking Erin in her stomach that caused a huge impact.
The woman tilted her head to the side, not minding the slight pain from Amaris's kick. She went closer to Amaris, their swords clashed creating a loud sound.
Amaris attacked in a fast-paced manner, but before her sword could even touch Erin, the woman twirled around mid-air. Shifting her body, Erin jumped in position to get through Amaris's back that the woman didn't expect.
Erin kicked Amaris on her legs before transferring to another side, placing the blade of her sword to the woman's neck.
The servants clapped excitedly after witnessing how Erin won the round. Amaris chuckled and went closer to the woman, "Your moves became more fluid than what it used to,"
Erin chuckled, "Are you praising me or being sarcastic?"
"Praising you, of course,"
Erin grinned, "I have one wish, huh?" She teased the woman who was now rolling her eyes at her.
"Yes, but make sure that I can do it," Amaris answered.
Erin nodded and calmly sat down on a chair near them. She was exhausted after the fight. The good thing was, she noticed that she was already getting better at handling her sword.
Taking out a piece of white fabric, Eris smoothly glides it through her sword. Cleaning any dust and dirt that has gotten into it after the fight.
The sword was gifted to her by Azura and Callan on her 500th birthday. Although it was a very long time ago, she had started to appreciate all the things the two men had given her.
On the other hand, Erin hasn't seen Hendrix since she was young. She already forgot what the man had looked like. She remembered that she would ask questions to Callan about Hendrix in the past.
But Callan would just answer her that the man had a lot of things to do. And was teaching Immortals in a secluded area.
That's the reason why after some time, she already forget and her curiosity about the man died down. Maybe that's the reason why she has only gotten closer to Azura and Callan whom she treats as brothers although they were not blood-related.
"Come, Erin, let's eat!" Amaris shouted in, gathering the attention of Erin.
