Chapter 3 - Training, part 1

Kaito jumps out of bed, and races to get ready. as he runs through the house nearly falling over himself Moon catches him. "Where are you off to in such a rush?" She asks him. 

"I gotta hurry up and see Amire before dad gets us for training today." Kaito asks. 

Amire is their cousin just a year younger then Kaito. 

Moon laughs. "Of course, but be careful Kaito the babies are still sleeping. Kaito nods and he goes over to his newborn twin sisters. "Sorry Kaley, sorry Kailey." He apologizes. 

Kaito rushes to leave, but his mother stops him. She asks if he's forgotten something, and holds her arms out. Kaito laughs and leaps into her arms, hugging her tightly. Moon giggles and suggests that she'll show him some more cooking after he finishes his training that day. Kaito is delighted, and his brother Kaid walks by laughing and teases him about cooking with the girls. Kaito happily agrees, oblivious to his brother's teasing.

They go outside and see that Kate and Amire are already there. Kaito is delighted to see his cousin, and they all head off to their favorite spot to play. 

"You guys wanna race?" Kaid asks them all. Kate laughs "Sure as long as you're ready to lose." She teases. 

"No magic!" Kaito yells. Unlike his siblings Kaito can't yet use magic. Kaid isn't even supposed to be able to use it yet. Typically magic is awaken when your aged 9 or older. Kaid could use magic since he was 5. 

From the moment you are born, you are destined to have a certain affinity for magic. This affinity determines what kinds of magic you can use and how many. Most people can only use one magic, but some are special and can use multiple.

Kaid rolls his eyes. "Fine, no magic." He says. They all gear up to race but are stopped by Sun. "Come now, it's time." Sun says. The kids agree and Amire goes to leave. "Actually Amire since you're already here, why don't you join us." Sun suggests. She gets excited. "I get to kick Kaito's butt?!" She says.

They arrive at the training ground. There's dummies around along with practice gear such as, bows, swords, spears, daggers, and staffs. 

Sun instructs them all to grabs swords. He decides to start off with training circuits and they run the drills for hours. Eventually Kate and Amire get tired leading Amire to eventually ask. "When do we stop?" 

Sun looks over to her. "You're free to leave if you want to." He says sternly. Amire nervously steps away. 

"Alright back to your training." Sun says but Kate raises her hand. "Actually dad do you think i could go too?" She says. "Of course you want to go." He says with a hint of dissapointment in his voice. 

Kate looks nervous. "it's just that after the latest ruin search we found new volumes of a book series i was enjoying." Kate says but Sun raised his hand to her. "I'm not interested in your reaons, just go." He says and the boys and Kate look at eachother before she leaves. 

Sun sighs. "Boy's ready your swords i want to see improvement in your techniques." 

"Kaid, Kaito, don't hold back against eachother, any wounds will heal with time." He instructs.

Kaito and Kaid look at eachother smiling. Kaito loves sparring his big brother.
