In a world that is divided into two regions, the Blade Legion Region, which wields potent weaponship, and the Mystic Force Region, which wields great magic. In the Mystic Force Region, there's a nation being led by King Dilan Casus, and his nation is known for its excellence in using claymores.
4 PM IN THE AFTERNOON
IN THE TRAINING FIELD OF CASUS NATION
A training field with cobblestone walls and floors, drenched in afternoon sunlight. The crowd of civilians, the army of Casus Nation, and King Dilan with a light yellow and brushed back hair with a great physique and sigma looking face, watch Eury Casus with a black tied hair and in the middle part while the side of his hair just flows to the side of his face with an average physique with a hot looking face, the 18-year-old son of King Dilan, in a sword duel training versus the right-hand man of King Dilan named Sander with a black wavy hair with a great physique with a sigma looking face. They used a very well-crafted wooden sword in their training. But Sander Dile mocks Eury for swinging aimlessly and only hitting him a few times.
Sander: "Really? Is that the son of the king? I bet my daughter could defeat you," he said to Eury with an arrogant voice.
The whole crowd laughed at him, and his father giggled a bit. And his father said:
King Dilan: "Show him, son, how the Casus family truly fights!" With a confident voice.
Undeterred, Eury grits his teeth and vows to prove himself worthy of his lineage.
Eury: "I will, just you wait," he said with an exhausted body.
Suddenly, Eury gripped the sword tightly and dashed forward. While facing Sander, his footwork suddenly changed, and his body spun. In order to stab Sander in the back with a great maneuver, he did hit Sander in the back. The crowds roar and cheer for Eury.
Eury: "How's that? Didn't expect it, have you?" Smirking while saying it in an arrogant voice.
But Sander slashes Eury's back since he notices that his alertness has diminished since he hit Sander. Eury kneeled on the ground, suffering from the anguish caused by the slash.
Sander: "Not bad for a teen, but you're so slow that I slashed your stomach first before you even got behind me, and you didn't even notice it, and now you drop your guard just because you hit me. Wrong move, Eury. Always let your guard up," he said calmly to Eury.
King Dilan: "You're as good as ever, Sander; well done, well done. But that's it for now; great fight," he said cheerfully.
Everyone applauds them both for their outstanding performance. Meralda Dile, Eury's friend and Sander Dile's daughter with yellowish straight short hair, a beautiful body shape, and a charming face, approaches him after the match to offer him some advice.
Meralda: "Wow, that maneuver that you did was really spectacular!" she said in a cheerful voice.
Eury: "Thanks for the compliment," he said in a whisper while scratching the back of his head.
Meralda: "But always remember, in sword fighting, never turns your back on your opponent; it will cause you your life."
Meralda: "Anyway, it was a great fight. Bye!" she said happily.
Eury: "Hmm, thank you for the tip! Bye." In his normal voice.
Everyone left the training field, and King Dilan and Eury also left and talked while walking to the grave of Sandra Casus, the wife of King Dilan and the mother of Eury.
Eury: "Can I be a great swordsman just like Sander? And I kind of agree that his daughter Meralda might even defeat me," he said in a sad tone.
King Dilan: "Yes, son, you can. Not every skill appears magically; you need to train, work hard, and have perseverance. I'm sure you can be the greatest swordsman in our nation."
Eury: "You're right, father; I only need those to become the greatest swordsman."
King Dilan: "Yeah, and oh, we're here," he enthusiastically said.
5 PM IN THE AFTERNOON
AT SANDRA'S GRAVE
They arrive at Sandra's grave, nestled under the shade of a towering oak tree, adorned with vibrant flowers and bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun.
Dilan: "Hey there, my beloved wife, I hope you're resting well. Guess what? Eury once again lost. HAHAHA, I'm sure you saw it too."
Eury: "But I'll be the best; just you wait." he said in an embarrassing voice.
They spent a few minutes talking to Sandra's grave about everything that happened that day. After a few minutes, they said their farewells at Sandra's grave and went home.
AT THE DINNER TABLE OF THE KINGDOM IN THE CASUS NATION
King Dilan: "Make sure to eat a lot of food, Eury, so you can replenish your energy," he said in a calm voice.
Eury: "Yes, father, I will," he said in a calm voice.
After finishing their meals, they both departed the table and attended to their own necessities. Following that, King Dilan and Eury went to their own bedrooms.
As night falls and the kingdom sleeps, Eury lies awake, plagued by the sting of failure and spurred by a renewed determination to overcome his flaws.
THE NEXT DAY
6 AM IN THE MORNING
At the break of dawn, Eury and King Dilan were startled awake by a strange, loud noise that echoed through their nation. The sound, like a deafening roar, reverberated off the stone walls and sent shivers down their spines.
As they stumbled out of bed, confused and alarmed, the ground beneath them began to shake violently. Books fell from shelves, candles flickered wildly, and their home seemed to groan under the strain.
Outside, panic filled the air as people poured into the streets, their voices rising in fear and confusion. Mothers held their children close, soldiers tried to keep order, and the once quiet landscape was now alive with chaos.
Eury: "Father, what is happening?" he said in a worried voice
King Dilan: "I don't even know" he said in a confused voice
Amidst the turmoil, Eury and King Dilan shared a worried look, knowing that their world would never be the same. For in that moment, the strange noise stopped, they understood that something profound was happening, and they braced themselves for whatever was to come.
