Three years before the heir wars began was seven years into August's life.
But that wasn't the key that unlocked his ancestral memories.
Instead, it was his power level.
In the years following his first few sessions of training with Damien, August improved rapidly. The Azure Dragon Manual was an exponential growth method, and it truly showed its worth once August started really comprehending it.
Damien would take him out to fight in the wild at least once a month, increasing the strength of his enemies to scale with his growing strength. Other than that, Damien would spar August once a week to help him develop his battle sense and learn how to fight against enemies who were capable of complex thought.
The rest was mostly up to him.
