Chapter 43 - Don't argue

~~LUCY'S POV~~

After a few days of me trying to break the spell and saving Anatalia

I had visited my Dad where he handed me a sword which was formally his

He called it the sword of flames, and said I could only a kill a true Demon with it.

Also the fact that Lucas Dad's half brother was working with Alex bothered me greatly but I was only asked by Zack to keep calm.

While he explained the use of the sword to me and thanks to his genius plan Alex wouldn't be home anytime soon..

If I wasn't the one learning swordsmanship and I was just watching,I would have said it was easy but only carrying the sword tired me out

" Zack it's difficult" I complained seating to the floor and I could hear him sigh for the nth time

" It's not, you're just being lazy.

If you had continued your jogging routine then all this wouldn't be happening " He scolded

" But ... "

" shh now am not your husband but your instructor"

" what?! " I questioned half screaming

" And I'll be strick with you from now on " He said and walked around me making a circle

" You aren't permitted to step out of this circle

now pick up your sword and charge " I wanted to scream and wine but it wouldn't be of any use so..

I picked my sword with my right hand and supported it with my left

following all his instructions

I continued like that for a while and I could see him smile

" Seems you're already getting it " He patted me on my head like a kid

" Yep ".

" Well this is more easy than I thought.. you performed well although you we're bent on quiting "

" Well duh i'm the devil's daughter and I should know how to perfect this in a click of a finger" I smirk

" Hmm, I see so I'll be teaching you how to defend today and tomorrow attacking skills" he said nonchalantly and I wanted to smack his head with a book

"Hold it right their mr teacher, just because I said I could perfect this easily doesn't mean you should just borden me with everything " I retorted

" Okay we'll have a little rehearsal today

you would be fighting again my sword"

" since your sword is already connected to you and they are the same swords why don't you just kill that dumdum yourself" I blurted..

After knowing that these swords weren't ordinary and could work hand in hand I with their masters as if they are life once they have a blood bond

I've been working hand to make my blood bond with my sword but this stupid sword isn't listening

" They might be the same sword but they aren't the same" Zack said drawing me out of my thoughts

" meaning?"

" Well the sword you are holding has been bless by the great one and given to your dad to fight against evil.. but since he did otherwise the sword stopped obeying him

mine is just a look alike and I haven't ascended the throne of the new morning star so I can have mine blessed" He explained and my heart sank hearing what greed did to Dad

Although he's a good father, he isn't a good person and I can't possibly change the past.

" So why don't you just ascended the throne,get yours blessed and spear your wife from this stress " I said in a low voice and he laughed

" Theirs always a time for everything wifey as for now we need to end this game and bring an end to Lucas and Alex okay "

I nodded and he pecked me

" am ready " I charged and be nodded releasing his sword

At first I kept defending myself unlike normal sword fighting when you can try reading the move of your opponent

I found it hard reading the next move of the sword

I had misread the move of the sword and almost gotten injured

" stop.." Zack said as I fell to the group and his sword went back to him

" I think I'll teach you another sword fighting skills " he came close to me holding his sword

" The most basic move is the forward slicing cut

It begins from the over head position until it makes contact with the opponents shoulder or head..first the swing is executed by positioning the sword behind you and making an arc to cut your opponent like this " he demonstrated

" while other sword skills are like the uppercut , vertical, vertical arc , vertical square and others

but you can only use one hand when doing these skills

also the basic moves are

the straight down from the top

diagonally down to left , diagonally down to the right , diagonally up from the left , diagonally up from the right and left and right strike horizontally"

After hearing the long list he listed, I took a deep breath and turned to look him in the eyes

" Zack do you expect me to learn all this moves you just said? "

" Yes wifey " he smiled and placed a kiss on my lip

But there's absolutely no was I was falling for that bribe

I quickly turn my self around and started heading back the the house and I could tell Zack was chasing after me.

when we arrived at the sitting room he handed me a glass of water and made me sit

" Hubby when would alex be back " I asked checking the time, to know if I would be locking my self up or not

" Tomorrow morning or afternoon " he said and I was overwhelmed

" So we have tonight to ourselves" I placed my hand around his neck pulling him closer

" Yes "

" You know a poet once said happiness is an uncontrollable feeling , thought and wisdom that no one knows when it comes , never minding the occurrences just the feeling of hope " I winked and he threw his head backward

" I never knew my wife loved poems "

" it's just a one day in and one day out hobby of mine"

" Mum never argue with me when I say Carmela is like a carbon copy of you " Carlene said with a victorious smirk

" Oh really? "

" Yes, she is into poem, lazy when it comes to swordsmanship but still a good swordsman "

" Alright you win..now can I continue or you want to go to bed ? " I asked Carlene checked the time to see it was just a few minutes passed midnight

" Please go on I'm not sleepy yet " She said and I nodded

"That day, I felt sick and went into a coma

Unknown to me that I was becoming one with my sword.

After having a blood bond with her, I decided to name her seashine… "

" Wait isn't it that sword you never allow us touch no matter how much we beg " Carlene asked with curiosity and I quickly nodded and went back to the story

" While I was unconscious, Mum , Zack and Anatalia were worried sick about me and the whereabouts of Alex as he still wasn't back..

When I gained consciousness, I picked up my sword and followed the direction the sea gave to me to discover the hideout of both Alex and Lucas..

that day I was able to end Lucas but the war between both brothers shook the island.."
