"Seems like you have understood the harsh reality. You are on your own, you have only you and yourself with you. From now on your life will be a tragedy, you will lose more things than you gain. The ghasts will break you, they will shatter you, they will engulf you, But as long you have your goal in front of you, you will be the strongest!!", Katasuke appeared there and told.
"I will find my sister!! No matter whatever darkness I have to face, no matter if my memories are altered, even if my limb is severed, even on the verge of death, I will find her and restore those pleasant moments of my family, my world!!," declared Kai.
Katauske walked away and Kai followed him.
In the night they walked, the moon and stars gazing upon them. They descended the mountains.
Katasuke unsheathed his sword and threw it to Kai. Kai caught it and he was puzzled.
"That is yours, my brother-in-law gave it to me. I was the one who was meant to inherit his power but I wasn't compatible with it. His efforts shouldn't be wasted and his will should go on. Therefore you are the one who inherits his sword," said Katasuke.
Kai's eyes glow, and tears roll down from his right eye only along with blood.
After a few hours, the sun rose, and the sky got red, symbolising a burning fire. On the terrace of Katasuke's house, Kai observed. He grasped the inner meaning of it. However, he stood there in awe.
" Kai, I don't train people by teaching them things, train them by making them experience it. That's how my brother-in-law trained me. From today you will go to the four deadly forests and acquire the flowers from there," said Katasuke.
"What are these flowers?", asked Kai.
"These flowers are known as core flowers, they are protected by the guardians of the forest. They are ghasts. Each of the four forests has one guardian, today you will head towards the Northern Equilateral forest," said Katasuke.
"Take Ao with you to fight," said Katasuke.
" Who is Ao?" asked Kai.
"It's the sword's name, it was named by my brother-in-law. Use it to fight the ghasts," said Katasuke.
Kai held Ao in his hands and departed for his training mission to The Northern Equilateral Forest.
He ran from the house because it was the fastest way to get there. Getting there was also part of the training. The forest is 50 km away.
Kai thought that, but he smiled with excitement to reach there quickly.
He increased his speed, he was moving at a speed of 36 km/hr.
Katasuke noticed that speed, he doubted it for something but later thought that it was due to the events of last night.
In 1 hour he finally reached the forest.
It was a dense forest and he could sense the ghasts in it. There were no + eyed ghasts in it. (There are two types of Ghasts, + eyed, the now with + pattern in its iris and the second one X eyed. The X-eyed are wild ghasts who have lost their human features like talking and feeling. But the + eyed ghasts are the ones who have both human and ghast features.)
"Divive sorcery: Rampage of the Divine Ocean", said Kai and he dived into the forest with full force.
