"He defeated the unexpected guest in mere seconds. Which means indirectly he is the strongest lieutenant as at now." Zephyr said with a pat on Ethan's. "Well that happened out of the blue." Shawn walked in. "Prime, I didn't mean to..." Ethan's words were cut short as Shawn walked infront of him. "Now that they know about it you must get stronger. Show them the reason why I chose you." Shawn whispered to Ethan. "Yes, sir." Ethan said with a salute. "And I promised to tell you about that woman, right? I'll do that after this training." Shawn whispered to Ethan again. "Training ?!" Ethan shouted.
"Yes it's an emergency training actually. The first grimlore not only did it spawn too early, it was also a strong one and more importantly it spawned right in the military base. Can imagine how catastrophic this will be if they spawn in people's home?" Shawn questioned. "So we have decided to start your training right away." Shawn said and made all the lieutenants sit down on the floor.
"We scriptweavers have a different way of gaining skills and becoming stronger from how the chronarchs gain skills and powers. Chronarchs are what you would have become if you complete schooling normally. With the chronarchs, skills are gained from the books they read when they first awaken their lexicons but after precisely two years, they would have to buy the Dawn Chronicles which are advanced books that have been extracted from the first lexicon to be created and modern Dawn Chronicles which are new findings some chronarchs and scriptweavers have created on their own. By gaining more understanding they become stronger and gain skills that compliments their skills whereas we the scriptweavers create our own skills from the understanding we have of the Dawn Chronicles but compared to chronarchs since we're able to make changes to skills we have created after we become stronger. Naturally, no chronarch has ever been stronger than a scriptweaver who is on the same level." Shawn explained.
"Before we start the training I forgot to do this. Has any of you introduced yourself to the whole group?" Shawn asked. "No, Prime." All the lieutenants answered in chorus. "That's good. Really good. This is what I expected. Now everyone stand up, for beginners, your punishment is a one hundred and fifty pushups. So let's begin." Shawn said with a wild grin on his face. "Huh?" All the lieutenants shouted in shock but started their pushups immediately when they saw Shawn's expression changed from a smile to a serious look.
Whiles they continued with their pushups Shawn explained more about the differences between scriptweavers and chronarchs until they were done.
"So now let's begin. There are four stages in weaving a skill..." Shawn started explaining. "First is attuning to the Ethereal codes, second is defining the correct intent, third is weaving the logic threads and the last; the fourth stage is anchoring the skill in reality. Now let me explain the first stage; attuning to the Ethereal codes. To be able to use the Ethereal codes you must go through rigorous training and understanding more about the lumaflux. Understanding more about the energy around you will give you more insight. Remember the amount of lumaflux you can get access to also affect how efficient your skill can be and you know, your skill defines your strength.
After understanding more about your lumaflux, you would start seeing the Ethereal codes in your Ethereal Nexus, your subconsciousness space. These Ethereal codes flow like streams of symbols and shifting patterns. These Ethereal codes appear as threads pulsating with colours that correspond to different types of magic - red for destruction, blue is for logic that is basically your intellect skills or more like your creativity in this case, green is for growth,nature and healing, violet is for illusions or deceptions and shadow, white is for light,purity, or clarity there are more.
The second stage; defining your core intent. What the skill should do or ultimately the purpose of the skill. Every skill begins with an intent, a clear and focused desire that shapes the purpose of the skill. We Scriptweaver must articulate this intent as a Rune of Purpose, inscribed mentally or with enchanted tools. A poorly defined intent can lead to chaotic or dangerous outcomes. For example, a teleportation skill, the Rune of purpose may state, "teleport self to a known location without delay."
With stage three which is weaving the logic threads.Using tools of craft—such as enchanted quills, luminescent ink, or their bare hands—scriptweavers weave Logic Threads into a cohesive design. In lieutenant Melwen's case, she may obtain the quill from her fire phoenix which also boost the power of a skill.The logic threads are drawn from the Ethereal Code and represent the spell's structure. Then we'll talk about binding runes; Scriptweavers inscribe Syntax Glyphs (magical symbols representing conditions, loops, and flows) to ensure the skill operates flawlessly.Knotting Complexities also play a good role in the skill weaving as advanced skills require intricate knots, where threads intersect to handle variables like distance, power, or resistance.
Then to the last stage; anchoring the skill to reality.The final stage involves anchoring the skill to the physical world. We Scriptweaver chant incantations or execute gestures to compile the spell, fusing it with the Weave of Worlds. During anchoring, the Weave will "push back" if there are logical inconsistencies, forcing the Scriptweaver to debug their design which is what we call the error feedback. So the skill will have to be refixed. If successful, the skill materializes as a glowing sigil or effect, ready for use.
You must remember that creativity plays a bigger role in creating skills." Ethan finally completed his explanation. "For today you can rest. We'll start the real training starting from tomorrow till your holiday break is over." Shawn announced.
"I'm really sorry for judging you without knowing your true potential." Ian said apologetically as he knelt in front of Ethan. "Don't worry let's just get together and work as a team." Ethan said and made Ian stand up. "So shall we all properly introduce ourselves. I'm Captain Zephyr Gale of the Guardian class and my lieutenant is Ian Fletcher." Captain Zephyr said with laughter whiles holding Ian under his shoulders.
"I'm Captain Fiona Frostbane of the Warrior class and this is my lieutenant, Kestrel Vale." Captain also introduced herself. "I'm Captain Mason Campbell of the Healer class and my lieutenant is Windale Carter." Captain Mason introduced himself with an average height boy with pitch black hair and strands of green hair running through, standing beside him.
Unfortunately, Melwen's captain wasn't around and so Melwen had to introduce herself but Shawn did it for her. "This Lieutenant Melwen Flamehart of the Archer class. Well, her Captain has gone out on a mission so the introduction would be done later." Shawn said . "Captain Althera Blackwood of the Mage class and my lieutenant is Tesa Lowe. Pale skin woman with raven-black hair that falls in sleek, straight layers with captivating deep gray eyes introduced herself with her lieutenant Tesa, a petite and willowy girl, with a gentle, elegant air.
"I'm Captain Paige Monroe of the Druid class with lieutenant Owen King as my deputy." An average height, fit and toned, with a casual, athletic stance woman introduced herself and her lieutenant Owen, a short and lean, with quick, precise movements and a focused expression.
"I'm Captain Northwell Stanton of the knight class with Halloway Kingsley as my lieutenant." A Broad and sturdy man with short-cropped black hair and gray eyes that were sharp and calculating introduced himself. His face was clean-shaven, and he carried himself with confidence and determination. And his lieutenant Halloway, tall boy with a chiseled, angular face and dark hair neatly combed back. His piercing gray eyes gave him an intense look, and his posture was always straight, exuding authority.
"I'm Prime Protector, Shawn Clarke with my deputy Ethan Fen." Shawn concluded the introductions.
