As the sun rose again. They tried various methods, from meditation to exposure to different environments, but no attunement seemed to resonate with Argus.
-I don't understand. Argus said, frustration evident in his voice. Why can't I do it? Why can't I connect with any attunement?
Indra nodded, his eyes reflecting understanding.
-It's okay, Argus. Attunements grant immense power, but they are not the only path to strength. Look at me, I use Flamecharm, but that doesn't define all that I am. You have other talents, other skills. You can still be a formidable warrior without an attunement.
Argus looked down, a mix of disappointment and determination in his eyes.
-If I can't use any attunement… Then I have to improve on the only thing I have… Rapier. I will master the patterns and skills of it.
Indra nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
-That's the spirit, Argus. Your dedication and skill with the rapier will be unmatched. And who knows, perhaps there's another path for you, one that doesn't require attunement.
With renewed resolve, Argus immersed himself in his training, focusing on the rapier with unwavering determination. Indra continued to guide him, refining his technique and pushing him to new heights of skill and precision.
As the sun rose over the horizon, casting a golden hue over the courtyard, Indra and Argus began their daily routine.
Argus moved with grace, his movements fluid and precise as he practiced his forms.
-You've come a long way, Argus, Indra remarked, his voice filled with pride. Your dedication to the rapier is truly admirable.
Argus smiled, a sense of accomplishment shining in his eyes.
-Thank you, Indra. I couldn't have done it without your guidance.
Their training sessions were rigorous, filled with intense sparring matches and intricate drills. Indra pushed Argus to his limits, always encouraging him to strive for perfection.
-You must learn to anticipate your opponent's moves.
Indra instructed, his rapier flashing in the sunlight as he demonstrated a complex series of parries and thrusts.
-The key to mastering the rapier is not just in your technique, but in your ability to outthink your opponent.
Argus nodded, absorbing every word. He knew that mastering the rapier was more than just a physical challenge; it was a mental one as well. He focused on every movement, every breath, honing his skills with unwavering determination.
As the years passed, Argus's mastery of the rapier grew with each passing day. His speed and finesse were unmatched. But despite all that, Argus remained humble, always crediting Indra for his success. And as they stood together, facing the future with confidence, Indra knew that Argus would truly become a master of the rapier.
