As Mara watched Zeus his quickened movements using Lightning Qi, his pivots more daring than even her mother. To the biggest surprise, he was barely using any force.
"Sir Zeus, how did you require those moves?" Mara spoke slightly happy.
"Too much."
Mara not wanting to end the conversation there decided to ask a couple more questions.
"How is it that you have more fluid motions than my mom?"
Both Strom God and Zeus were shocked. Zeus did not think that his movements were that great. Strom God wanting to be surprised asked, "How much more fluid is he than your mother?"
"Very much. She would practice all day and most through the night. Yet, she could never get the fluid motion like Zeus has now. Or she never went all out in that training or fighting."
Hearing that response, Strom God knew he had to visit Diablo. If she had been able to get glimpses of Zeus now, nothing would stop her.
"I shall return by tomorrow night."
Strom God left in a dash of anger.
Mars watched has her father darted across the ground a storm followed suit.
"How powerful is my father?"
"Strong enough to challenge the Fifth Heavenly Realm and hold his ground against the top twenty people."
Mara was pleased to hear that.
"However, your father is a kind man. He does not leave this palace because that storm follows him. Towns will be wrecked, crops destroyed, beasts not willing to do anything for a month, and that is just for normal living. That does not even count the wilderness, seas, or people who require those to live."
Mara was more shocked about her father.
"He is one of the few people who got his genes from a beginning deity who controlled stormy weather. As his genes became stronger, part of blood also could send him to the Godly Realm."
Mara did not know how to respond.
"His storm blood flows through you. I gained his Lightning Qi from the Lightning Clan. That was when he was trying to form good ties with Mortal demons. Once his storms had finally caused enough damage, he went on his own only to return when he could finally become a True father."
Mara was happy to hear that.
"He spent two weeks with your mother. She liked the man who you called father. He was pleasing to talk to, gentle hearted, someone to be proud of to marry. Strom God asked one favor for that man."
Mara was so attached to the story now nothing would peel her off.
"That favor was to never marry your mother. To help raise his child as his own. He would return the favor when you would come visit him."
Mara felt that the favor was a lost cause.
"The only saving grace that Diablo might have is if he already lost everyone who controlled the deaths of your mother and man who raised you. Diablo knew not to inflict any harm to them, however demons will be demons and not listen to everything. As long as Diablo tells the truth in front of him, he will be fine."
Mara felt upset that Diablo could get away scotch free.
"It is not about if he can get away without any harm. Technically, we all should die for not telling him. You needed to grow up and that is what caused so much pain and suffering for you. People did protect you, just not the way you think."
Mara felt happy about what was said.
"The kingdom of the man who injured you on purpose instead of accidentally in the tournament as lost not only his life but caused his kingdom to fall."
Mara felt that she was truly a blessing to those who needed her and a curse to those who hurt her.
"So any other questions?"
"How much did you train to become so fluid in those motions?"
"Harder than most people train in their lives. Even your mom had a hard time when I became super fluid."
Mara did not know that Zeus had fought her mom.
"Usually you were either asleep or with your dad out of town. Our fights worthy of being scheduled in the Heavenly Realm just for people to watch. Any bets placed would almost always be placed on your mom. Yet, she would force the maids and butlers to take back their stones just to show how much she disliked gambling."
Zeus' voice changed into a sadness when speaking about the fights.
"Zeus, help me become stronger than my mom." Mara declared with her face serious.
"How much did you train with your weapons?" Zeus asked.
"Usually 8 to 12 hours a day when my family was killed."
"You need 16 to 18 hours a day just to be able to get the rhythm of the pivots. To make it a fluid motion, I spent years training and watching your mother and myself."
Mara did not know what to think of during that short reply. Years just to be able to get a good fluid motion.
"Would it be better for me to stick to my weapons or try and learn the pivots?"
The answer to this is why dreams have been different. Mara will follow the advice of Zeus.
Sticking to her weapon training will grant safety to those who need it. Trying to master the pivots causes her to hurt those who she needs to help protect. Mainly because the pivots are used as one vs one battles and bare handed attacks.
Whereas the weapon training can be used naturally anywhere and against multiple if need be.
Zeus also understands how important this answer is. More than likely, she will just follow his command and do which ever naturally.
"I suggest you become a master of the weapons and if you have time. Remember, only if you have time, train to become someone worthy of following your mother's footsteps."
Mara was excited to hear that she could. Knowing how hard it is to become a weapon master, she strives to become the best that she can.
