The Crown's Mundane

Chapter 12: New mentors 2.



In Zillah's bedroom,

"How I got here and the things I am doing now isn't a coincidence, it was bound to happen in my book'

There was a knock on the door,

"Zillah"..Cristal called out to her.

"Yes...", she ran to the door and opened it for her

"What happened?"...., she asked.

"Nothing, only that I'm looking for keva I haven't seen her since morning".

"Don't worry, she's with omna in the library. You can go meet them there if you want to".

Okay I'll go but what happened, why are you looking so gloomy?"....

"Nothing, I'm not upset, it's just that I need rest, I'll be fine, go go, you have to meet keva now"...

she pushed her from the back till she was outside the room then she closed the door.

"Why is she weird this morning?"...Cristal thought to herself before walking towards the library.

Zillah closed her eyes for a while only to realize it was the next day, She was woken up by a sudden opening of her room door, only to see daivik and Aeron waiting.

"Is it time for training?".... she asked,

"Yes, let's go".... they replied her, leaving the room.

Usually I'm happy going for training but now "I'm not".... she said out loud.

Daivik and Aeron heard what she said because they never did walk out after they closed the door.

They understood that their presence is not heartily for her.

In the garden,

"Let's do some introduction, I'm Aeron the combatant celestial".

"I'm daivik, the weaponry celestial"

"No wonder the both of them are so close, friendship through warfare, that's awesome"... she said to herself.

"Pick a weapon".... Aeron said to her,

There was a collection of weapon; bow and arrow, sword, axes and others. She picked up a sword and held it up high giving dignity to it.

"Why do you pick a sword?"....Aeron asked her smiling.

To her it's because whilst on earth, the lead character in the movies are always skilled in sword so she wants to give it a try.

But that wasn't her reply, "Well it's nothing just that I prefer the sword".

"Okay, well don't use that, use this one"... Daivik brought out a black katana with a Gothic lettering which inscribed SLAYER.

"But it's not a sword".....

"Use this one it's more lighter in weight, I was the one who picked the katana for keva, she uses it, it's better".... Daivik told her.

Aeron nodded in response.

" I suppose you haven't used a weapon before but since it's your first time, Make a swipe". Aeron said to her.

She collected the katana from daivik and lifted it up to the sky and landed it to the grass which made a smooth cut to the earth.

"That's nice, come at me".... he told her.

"Aish, that's a big step",...

she told Aeron staring at Daivik to support her, he didn't budge.

She got no response which meant that she had to make a move, she dashed towards him with the katana at her back.

When she approached him, he teleported further backward. Swerving it's direction to the right a sharp breeze had crossed his face causing his side hair to sway.

He knew instantly that that would make a cut through him if the distance wasn't much.

But from such a distance,...

Could it be her powers, he muttered

By this time she was already panting on the ground, seems to her that carrying the katana is stressful.

"I can't run with this".... she shouted.

Daivik and Aeron bursted into laughter.. "You have to get used to it"... Daivik said to her.

She replied....,

"There is no getting used to this. I mustered my last energy to lift up that katana, I'm on the ground".

They rushed to help her get up.

"Fine I guess I know what your next training is".... Aeron said

"What's that?".... she asked,

"here carry it",... Aeron gave her her katana. She held it.

"Now lift it above your head". She did so, "now keep it there"..., he concluded.

"What?,".... she asked.

Daivik answered,

"listen if you can carry this sword for about an hour, I guarantee you, you'll run with it for five minutes".

"Five minutes, after carrying it for an hour". she was panting.

"Listen again" daivik told her...,

"If your body gets used to holding this katana, any time it comes in contact with you the feeling of I've already held this like a billion times will be there. Which means automatically you can run with it trust me".

"Well not today. I think I need rest'. Daivik wanted to protest but he was cut short by Aeron who agrees to her resting.

He then teleported out of there leaving Zillah and daivik. "Take care"... he said to her and disappeared.

Once again she had to walk,

But not this time, she thought to teleport, "I can do this, I can do this, I can do this", she kept muttering to herself.

A voice from behind,

"need help", it was daivik.

"You came back why?"... she asked him.

"You said you were tired but now you have to walk, I'll teleport you to your room's door".

"Thank you"...., she immediately went to him and held his shoulders. They appeared at her door.

"Thank you"... she said again. You're welcome, she appreciated him and he left.

She opened the door to her room closed it and jumped into her huge bed and passed out.

Meanwhile, daivik was curious as to why Aeron had ended the training so soon.

He teleported to the library and there he met Aeron with Omna. He walked closer and sat on the arm of the chair next to Aeron.

Aeron continued, "must she be skilled in using weapon, I mean her power is popping now even in her training, I think she needs to develop it..."

"On her own"....omna cut his statement short.

"She is her own mentor and teacher, she has to learn to use the element of air as it is not a simple element. Her power is that of 1st Chamber Empyreal Of Air. Even a small amount is enormous".

"You learnt to use your powers and so did I. You were named the combatant celestial because they saw the potential in you and now you wage in war and fight in battles".

"Nonetheless, I need you to train her in swords fighting because I want her to use air and weapon together to slay".

"Wow, perfect" daivik interrupted. "What is it?".... Omna asked.

"The name of her katana is SLAYER", he answered,

"Slayer?"... Aeron asked him.

"Yes, and it seemed to have come like that, you know I'm not the one who made it, I only know the model".

"Which means something"....Omna said.

"Yes"..., Aeron replied,

"When she raised it towards me today I felt the air from such a distance. which was why I came to report now".

Daivik said...,

"If she slays with her powers and the weapon, then that's just double blessing".

"Yes"... Aeron Concord.

"She was blessed since she got here. Her mate is one of a kind"..., he smiled.

"How was your training with her?"..., omna asked.

"It was fine", Aeron answered, "but she can't carry the katana"... Daivik said.

Omna smiled on hearing this, "she can't carry the katana".

"Yes".... they nodded.

"She'd get used to it", he concluded then teleported to her room to check on her. He knocked at first but he got no response.

He opened the door to see her fast asleep. She was really tired. "I would give her some fruits tomorrow".... he said then left.

Daivik and Aeron had teleported back to their rooms to freshen up and take a nap.

"How was the training?"....

keva asked Omna catching up with him on the stairs.

"The report was great, the girl seems to be making progress on her own without knowing".

"It's a good thing"... keva said smiling.

"Yeah it is, I'm proud of her, she found herself here and took up the responsibility, trying hard even though things are tough for her"

"You should go to your room. I'll be in mine". Omna told her hoping she would go back but she needed more details. She insisted to hear more.

Omna left her in the hall and went into his room.

Keva ran back to her room after she checked on Zillah who was already fast asleep even though it was just afternoon.
