A battleground stood galantly as a man and a girl stood opposite each other the male was dyon and the female was Sylvia. By the side of the ground a shelf with weapons. The shelf had three layers one with spears, the second with swords and the last was a harp and some other musical instruments. There were other shelves with plenty of weapons around but this was special as it was the great collection of the Greene family. Most of the sword and spears were emerald made they we're the only weapons that could penetrate the inogals hard skin. Sylvia walked up to the shelf and was about to reach out to an emerald sword when she was stopped by dyon.
Dyon she gasped as he held her hand, with his smile always on his face dyon answered miss Sylvia please you must train basic weapons as you might lose your sword in the battlefield and may be forced to protect yourself with a sword around you. And besides I can't use an emerald sword so it would be unequal and cheat.
Sylvia was about to protest when suddenly dyon shouted" why dont you use the harp the major weapon that you had trained with all your life if you win then you get to use your emerald to duel with me.
Sylvia was surprised this was a one in a lifetime fight as dyon went with theory instead of pratical aspect of training even though he demonstrated sometimes it was not still enough for one to comprehend. Dyon drew his sword and ran straight towards her .
Taking long breaths she drew the string in a zig zag pattern thereby making the sound as in zing zang zong a long line of sound came out to parry the sword attack as soon as it touched the sword it stopped the attack as if not enough a sound shield covered Sylvia, dyon rushed in after the attack but it was deflected by a silver light a whoosh could be heard as the next second dyon had to draw his sword in every direction stopping all the sound attacks coming his way one had managed to hit him but it caused a slight wound .
Worthy of the Greene silver genius dyon mumbled as the attack hit. the fight got intense and ended up in dyon's loss .
Sylvia picked up the emerald sword when she found out that dyon was bleeding. Don't worry about me dyon added as he brought out a potion .
Now that it is a sword to sword fight why don't I go all out on you he asked Sylvia .
Please don't I would die ,
hehehe you actually thought I had go all out he laughed .Sylvia face instantly went red from embarrassment .
She picked up the emerald sword and swinged it .
Dyon stood 50 metres away from Sylvia and drew out his sword running forward both swords clashed as their faces stood 5 meters away from each other.
Golden light shined as raw power could be felt from the impact of the collision this caused Sylvia to move 4 feet away.
dyon stood unmovable like a rock.
He grabbed the tip of Sylvia sword which moved the instant it was touched.
Sylvia pushed forward this time using golden trance as protection and silver slash for attack dyon defended most of the time but all his efforts proved vain under the presence of the emerald sword in Sylvia hand.
my turn he whispered and started his fury of attacks.
kacha, klich, klich, klach klock,klach kich,swoosh, slash hu ha,sha,shi.
fury of attacks kept on running down as metal hit metal it kept on like that for the next hour nobody willing to lose to the other.
If Sylvia was using an ordinary sword this fight would have been over in seconds but under the effects of the emerald sword Sylvia was able to match to with dyon combining the sword golden ability with her silver radiance gotten from her bloodline Sylvia was considered a genius where ever she went.
The reason for this was because the Greene family had a complex bloodline .children born in the Greene family fate was determined by the color of their hair.
For instance the children with gold hair had the highest use as they were considered geniuses able to use an emerald sword at birth .
the silver haired children such as Sylvia had lower potential as they specialize in the training of music instruments.
Sylvia was one of them but being the best out of the best and her father was the former patriarch of the Greene family she was able to train with emerald thereby making her a target as the future leader of the Greene family .
After the Silver children then were the normal haired children they had mixed hair colors and were mainly masterminds in battle and servants or guards they are also the scholars of the Greene family.
Sylvia was about to run out of breath when dyon completed his last attack . they moved a bit from each other to catch their breath.
It was then they realized how much time they had spent fighting . the guards watching the scene were shocked they had locked on each other not leaving their spot just exchanging attack upon attack against each other.
young miss Sylvia is really formidable a guard praised to his colleague who also replied and hot.
I mean would you say that to her face Andy who had praised Sylvia moments ago retorted back .
I wouldn't dare if I didn't want to lose my head he replied master griffin would skin me alive after roasting my skull the other guard said .he was a black haired child around the age of 20.
even if the normal haired children were not too great the black hairs were worse those were mostly the scholars this one being a guard meant he was nonsense as he wasn't blessed with knowledge and couldn't hold much power due to the curse of the Greene family if only he always thought as he watched Sylvia remove her armour .
She looked around and caught his eyes and shot him a glare. and if looks could kill the guard would have been dead by now.
he quickly bowed down as Sylvia just took her gaze of him.
take it easy dyon said to her todays fight ended in a draw thanks to your emerald and now you won't let an ordinary guard go are you so nymphonic dyon asked.
I am frustrated Sylvia retorted and went to her horse and galloped away leaving an awe struck teacher behind .
just like her father always frustrated dyon said and walked to his horse galloping back to the Greene's estate. all the way back Sylvia thought about her life her fiancee Griffin and finally the duel she remembered how dyon forced her past her limits and all the struggles through the fight.
Griffin was a golden hair genius of Sylvia present generation.
He had been the first person in the Greene's history to go the battlefield at the age of 17 and come back with just 300 soldiers he was already a general and Sylvia rival for leadership but her family had already arranged a marriage between the two of them so as to tie both of them yo the Greene family .
Sylvia did not like the idea but had no choice but to conceed
If only you were here she thought .
she reflected about her past with Abby ried her best friend Sylvia had been stationed to war but Abby decided to go in place if her there her father fell and Abby died under the hand of an inogal leader she gripped her emerald tightly that the horse neighed at the power emitting from the sword .
I promise to get my revenge for you dad and you Abby, Sylvia mumbled.
