Chapter 15 - CHAPTER 14 (Ruby's pov)

We arrived at Archibald's house in the evening, his house wasn't that ancient as I thought it would be instead it was a beautiful house not too big and not too small but was well designed and was also surrounded by the forest. We were welcomed by a beautiful aged woman, she gave us a small smile after greeting my father well but I was shocked that she didn't bow down to him "Archibald went into the woods to get something he would be back soon"she said after leading us into the house,the sitting room wasn't that big but it was nice and conducive,we waited for sometime before a middle aged man came in, he looked like the man in the movie 'Aquaman' only older and with white hair " my lovely Dwight long time no see"the man said "master"my dad said and bowed down his head slightly to show respect "I already know who she is and why she is here"master Archibald said "so what do you say about training her master?"my dad asked "of course but there are a lot of things she needs to learn"he said looking at me "thank you master I am very grateful"my dad said "Karen"master Archibald called "yes love"the woman who greeted us earlier said coming out of a room "take her to a room" master Archibald said "okay let's go dear"she said with a smile and took me to a small beautiful room just good for me, aunt Karen and I spent the rest of the evening arranging my things while laughing and talking. My dad later left that evening after making sure that I was comfortable,he gave me a peck on my forehead before he left. l woke up the following morning and came down for breakfast after I had done all I needed to do, Master Archibald was in the sitting room drinking coffee "good morning master"I said and he nodded, I took a seat and a plate of beef burger and a cup of coffee was served in front of me and I ate in silence "ruby"master Archibald called "yes master"I said "you won't call me master or sir just uncle your training would start immediately after breakfast is that clear"he said "yes uncle"I said "good"he said and continued drinking his coffee, I wonder what supernatural specie he was. After breakfast he took me to a field with plenty weapons l guess it was dangerous "have a seat child"he said pointing to a wood bench "do you know anything about the supernatural realm?"he asked "only few"I said "today I would tell you somethings about the supernatural because it would do you good to know about them"he said "okay mas.... I mean uncle"I said "the history of vampires began with the blood god Absalom,who was created by the devil himself,born as the perfect vampire and an absolute killing machine. Before he was turned he was an ancient warlord and came to power in the early seasons of the fifth century and possessed a great lust for war and bloodshed. Absalom later struck a deal with the devil demanding great power and the devil agreed on one condition that his blood lust will consume him and his soul would be taken away. He is the patron deity and is the 'father of all vampires'"master Archibald said "how powerful was he?"I asked "Absalom had all the normal abilities of vampires only stronger due to being the progenitor"he said "in what way was he stronger than the rest?"I asked "Absalom is immortal like all vampires just that normal conventional weapons cannot harm him, Absalom consume blood like other vampires but he along with the royals can use their blood to heal,it is also possible for him to obtain powers of those blood he consumed and he can also absorb blood via his claws rather than just his fangs, Absalom can also control the shadows as the blood god Absalom blood flows through all vampires so he can control them,read their mind and also communicate with them telepathically ,he can also pinpoint their location no matter where they are even if they are hidden by a barrier, Absalom has great strength, speed and durability than other vampires ,he can also create fogs and can detect the location of anyone inside"he said "so he doesn't have any weakness?"I asked "yes,he doesn't have any"he said "WOW"I said and he continued telling me more things about the supernatural "now let's start the real training"he said "have you ever used a bow and arrow before?"he asked "no"I said and he gave me a bow and arrow"I want you to aim at the tallest tree"he said "but I haven't done it before"I said "well this is your first training"he said "I don't know what to do"I said"you are learning child"he said"okay"I said "stand upright with feet shoulder width apart and feet at 90 degree to the target"he said and I did it "next keep relaxed grip on the bow handle,next turn the bow so it is horizontal and the arrow rest is facing upward. Place the bow on the shelf of the arrow rest,push the nock of the arrow on to the string between the two brass nocking point, ensuring that the nock fletch, that is the odd coloured one is pointing upward, bring the bow back to vertical"he said helping me out a little until I got it right "position your fingers on the string with the index finger above the arrow and two fingers below, the string should seat in the last cease of your fingers that is nearest to your fingertip"he said but I did it in the wrong way and he helped me out "to draw do not grip the arrow with your fingers. pull back the string using your back muscles,not your bicep or arm pull back the string so that the index of the pulling hand is under the chin and the string touches your nose and lips"he said and he helped me do it "next use your 'dominant eye' by looking down the arrow and align it with the target,then relax your grip on the string and allow your fingers slip backward. Then after shooting maintain your body position"he said and I did it but missed the target "ruby you need to focus, focus on your target"he said and then I did everything again the same way only that this time I took away every form of distraction and focused on the only target I had,the tree...and then I released the arrow and it hit the tree "that is it child, focus"he said and I smiled "it's getting late let's go home"he said "okay uncle"I said. We walked back home and he gave me a liquid to drink and I drank it, it had a metallic taste like blood and it tasted differently from water "welcome home love"aunt Karen said and gave master Archibald a kiss on his lips "how are you?"he asked "not really good" she said pouting "and why is that?"he asked raising his eyebrow "well I was lonely as usual where did you two go?"she asked still pouting "we went training"he said and quickly pecked her lips before he went inside "how dare you do that arch"she said with her hands on her waist and I stood there smiling "oh my dare ruby I didn't know you were there, I'm sorry you saw that"she said blushing "it's okay aunt"I said with a smile "there is food on the dining table"she said and I walked inside. I quickly ate and went to bed very tired because today's training was very exhausting.
