Meanwhile in the God Lands while Alura had grown and was continuing her adventure, Talon had also been growing and now was age fourteen. Hiatsu had taken him under his care and training to ensure he would be strong. “Come on! Keep it up!” the Fire God barked while easily pushing away a teenaged boy with black hair. “Is that the best you got?!” Hiatsu snapped at the young man that was glaring coldly with his blue eyes that pierced through strains of his loose short hair. “You are weak.” The Fire God chide with a stern tone. “But, I guess that comes naturally given who your family members are.” This drew a low growl as wind began to rise and play with Talon’s hair.694Please respect copyright.PENANABpX6xYqB5K

Talon stood with a strong stance, after he had come to a stop, with two decent length swords in both hands as his grip had tightened to where his knuckles were turning white. “Leave,” he snarled at the man as he pushed off into a head-on charge. “Alura out of this!” he screamed while raising both weapons high to do a downward strike on the redhead. 694Please respect copyright.PENANAX2lqE4UrMs
694Please respect copyright.PENANAoQHuwlyIOw
Hiatsu quickly took a step back while lifting his blade and caught both on its length. He gave a smirk to the teen who was now using wind under his feet to rise and put more pressure on the weapon. “Heh, so weak,” he cooed, “it’s so sad.” He then gave a strong shove at an upward angle while bringing his free hand forwards to slam it into Talon’s stomach. “You aren’t appearing to be improving. It’s a shame because I thought you had more skill than your elder sister.” Talon coughed trying to gasp for breath before the god turned and slammed his sword arm into his chest with a flash of flame. This threw the boy back so he’d slam into the ground on his back which further hindered his ability to regain air so he could recover.694Please respect copyright.PENANAjIpefarB4x

While Talon was gasping for breath and struggling to make his limbs move to lift himself up, Hiatsu stepped up to stand over the black haired boy before placing the sharp tip of the steel blade just above his Adams-apple. “I think you just lost again, little boy.” His tone was flat and none too impressed as his expression also reflected. “You requested in recent days to be released to go to your sister to see her. I required you to be able to fight fluidly enough to not die within a week’s time.” Talon growled with his jaw tightening as he was forced to listen. “Here you are to current date still failing to land a single blow upon me. How do you think I am to be viewing your progress besides becoming stale?”694Please respect copyright.PENANA6MhK0z9Dhr
694Please respect copyright.PENANA6GuvrFufw2
“I am ready, Lord Hiatsu. I want you to send me to my sister so I may see her again and know of how our mom is.” 694Please respect copyright.PENANA027htRI4LM
694Please respect copyright.PENANAsjnUfnLBWJ
“No, you think you are but you are far from it.” This did not please the boy who flinched a little. “Your eyes tell me all I need to know and your temperament is not yet ready for you to leave. I refuse to make the same mistake I made by agreeing to a deal which sent Alura out on her own earlier than planned.” He sighed and removed the blade which was returned to its sheath. “With that said, we are finished for our days training. Take time to recoup and practice should you wish to try again in two days’ time.” Hiatsu spoke coldly to Talon who tried to gulp down his flaring emotions towards the Fire God while watching him turn and walk away.694Please respect copyright.PENANA5sJKL43kNy

“Yes…I understand…” he muttered under his breath with his jaw tight as he managed to get to his feet. He dusted himself off before recovering his blades which he returned to their sheaths on his back, which were strapped on so they were forming an X. Softly the wind blew making the tall grass of the training field dance as Talon walked through its softness, trying to plan out how he would be able to touch and land some damage on him. He replayed their spars over and over again but the more he did, the more his frustration grew. “Damn it!” he loudly snapped while throwing a punch into a nearby tree. “He hasn’t made any openings easy to spot and rubs it in my freaking face each time I lose by comparing me to my damn sister!” he punched the tree for the extra ‘damns’ to leave his growling voice.694Please respect copyright.PENANAXFN03sbaBC
694Please respect copyright.PENANAoPLGxEaOQ7
When he stopped punching, his knuckles were cracked and seeping blood onto the dark bark under his glare. “Besides…” he took a deep breath while muttering under his breath. “Where does he get off saying I’m weak?” slowly he pulled his fist away from the trunk. “It’s his fault that Alura just up and left without saying goodbye to me.” He set his sights on his fist as it came closer and pain began to replace the anger while a small tremble began to creep through his body. “I can’t believe she actually would do that but she did. I am not the weak one, she is.” He snapped his fist down at his side as his words sharpened as his shoulders tensed. “I am better and stronger than her!” he shouted while turning to look up at the looming palace behind him. No one stood in sight but he was sure someone was hearing and seeing him.694Please respect copyright.PENANAxwh2TesnbT
694Please respect copyright.PENANASeayw78b1M
Storming off away from the tree and palace he would stop a mile or so away and take a deep breath before exhaling quickly, throwing his head back with a groan. “I’m better than she is. I’m here and learning whereas she left too soon and didn’t bother to say goodbye.” He muttered under his breath as he tried to calm down. She didn’t bother to spend time with me for us to play… he tilted his head forwards as he began to walk around slowly. I wasn’t good enough anymore for her…it’s entirely their fault. It’s all Lord Hiatsu and Lord Ginsu’s faults. He seethed silently.694Please respect copyright.PENANAHcAmm19HrR

From a small grouping of trees relaxed a woman with a smirk pulling itself onto her face. “Oh this is a good development for me.” She murmured quietly with a playful tone. “He’ll be a delightful addition to the playing cast, but what shall the role be?” she crossed a leg over the other while an elbow came to rest upon the top leg, her chin resting in her open palm as a finger with finely manicured nails tapped below her pale lip. She observed him with jade-blue eyes through dropped bangs of blond-orange. When he began to get out of her view she pushed off the branch to land in the light and her body vanished in a puff of wind.694Please respect copyright.PENANArnrC6X6sY5

Talon arrived after a couple of minutes to an area he regarded as his training grounds and drew both blades. It was a dense wooded area that worked well for his sword work. Inhaling deeply he began to focus his mind and plan out what he was going to do to start off with. Slowly his body lowered while slipping one foot back as his arms lowered at his sides. Suddenly his body sprung forwards with a twist as the weapons came up. He struck the target trees each multiple times with fluid swings as if the movements were trained by the flowing water. His turn completed and he darted forwards before pushing off to move to the side and back while using his air to increase his speed. This increase caused his body to look more like a blur to the woman as she came to sit in a tree in his area to watch him.694Please respect copyright.PENANAymh1n42rjo

He came to a stop as a tree fell with the others having damage but not falling from the crude slices into their thick trunks. She began to clap while giggling. “Oh that was very excellent, although, you should work on your perfection.” Catching the sound of her giggle and odd words caused him to turn while charging to strike. He jumped and came down with a strong slash of his blades at the woman. His mouth fell in shock as his weapons simply hit wood as the body had vanished. He came down and the woman giggled behind him, this time standing with her arms gently folded. “Oh you are so very fast but you cannot touch what you cannot catch, little boy of second rate blood.” She purred like a feline.694Please respect copyright.PENANAgKPOIXK0HN

Talon whipped around to glare at the pale skinned woman who stood with grace in a lovely long sleeved dress with a low cut top and a slant at the bottom. The slant went from below the left knee down to the right ankle. Talon stood still while straightening out one arm to point the blade at the woman. “State your name and reason for following me, wench.” He ordered firmly only to be giggled at by the woman who had an odd twinkle to her eyes. “What is it that tickles you?” he asked with an irritated growl.694Please respect copyright.PENANAuZntS3bZOY
694Please respect copyright.PENANAIBlJU5xfLR
“You are what tickles me you silly little mortal who thinks they can kill the wind.” She snickered then took a calming breath. “Plus,” her eyes closed for a few moments then opened to gaze elegantly upon him. “You won’t kill someone who can give you something you deeply desire, would you?” she sweetly questioned and was pleased to get a confused, although still stern, expression from him. “Now you see,” she stepped closer in her heeled boots with cutouts along the sides. “I heard your plea for power to show you are that much better than your highly adored sister.” Her hands came up to rest around her chest, “she is considered a strong blade of the Gods yet there is an error they did not see that I have.” She smirked soft as her tone softened. “You have power, power she does not access or even try to use. Your sweet big sister may be older and have magic but she doesn’t use it, no, nothing like how you use yours.” She watched as he narrowed his eyes but held his tongue, showing he was listening. “I’m not one to spread rumors but,” she had begun to softly step around him with her slim build, “she always saw you as someone below her after she began to train and you didn’t.”694Please respect copyright.PENANAWEkl6gq0hC
694Please respect copyright.PENANA1CXZ57eYqj
“What are you talking about?” he quietly asked with caution while turning to follow her with his blade.694Please respect copyright.PENANAErdColCwE0
694Please respect copyright.PENANAXV5LZHTRMs
She took a breath and lightly released it as her hands began to stroke her hair that came over her shoulder. “There’s no reason to fear a Goddess here to help, is there?” no answer came so she continued. “All I am relaying to you is what I heard while I was in meetings with the brothers, when they would try encouraging her to spend time with you.” Her tone was soft and sympathetic which slowly caused him to start lowering his blade. “I know it’s hard to hear but she would continue to deny that request and told them she would rather spend time with Lord Ginsu than her dirty little brother.”694Please respect copyright.PENANAAEUd1qnk0f
694Please respect copyright.PENANA2JURSFToB4
Talon tightened his grip on his weapons as his arm lowered to his side slowly. “She…really said that…?” 694Please respect copyright.PENANA0SibOVj5tc
694Please respect copyright.PENANA6LAcn5grTA
“It’s so very hard to hear, I know, yet why would or how can a Goddess spill out lies to an innocent little mortal?” her tone was soft and held a bit of a pout to it as she neared behind him to begin stroking the back of his head. “But, I can fix all that and make it go away so you can show them who the true warrior is.”694Please respect copyright.PENANAm4BJ2odx05
694Please respect copyright.PENANAZScwZFUGSB
She began to slip her arm around Talon’s neck with the other to join it by coming in the opposite way with her hands tracing his chest. Slowly her hands moved for his arms as she had aims to take his weapons while inhaling his scent by one of his ears. “…What is this to you?” he mumbled stiffly.694Please respect copyright.PENANAaaMKzozrs2
694Please respect copyright.PENANAEXUqYTVo3e
“Hmm?” she questioned while continuing with her main focus. “Just give into me and you can have that power to beat dear selfish Hiatsu. After that, you can go find your dear selfish sister.” She purred with a bit more of a moan having come and gone when she spoke about Hiatsu.694Please respect copyright.PENANA6AkFe0KV6Q
694Please respect copyright.PENANAfdNqLwoYiB
Talon tightened his jaw and suddenly jerked away with a turn as he brought a blade up to cut her cheek before a blade was once more aimed at her. “No, I asked you what this was to you and this I gained no answer. Now tell me your name and do you think of me as your game piece?” he barked at her for an answer with narrowed and unnerved eyes.694Please respect copyright.PENANAnv1pOEimYw
694Please respect copyright.PENANAWjfEGQmQUE
She reached up to touch her cheek and saw a thin trail of blood on her fingers. She slowly smirked and giggled before licking her fingers clean of the red liquid. “A game you say? Perhaps one could call it so.”694Please respect copyright.PENANAWp5IHnONyn
694Please respect copyright.PENANAuqUqwKfz7R
The teen did not look amused or in a gaming mood. “If you refuse to speak your name or what you go by then I demand you leave or I will be forced to show you what I can do.”694Please respect copyright.PENANAkVlgPj9USU
694Please respect copyright.PENANA8K9kbwOvAN
“What would those be that can be done to one such as I by one such as you?”694Please respect copyright.PENANAb2FulHBTL5
694Please respect copyright.PENANANfmp1dhxvm
“I can kill you or you can leave willingly. Take your pick.” He snarled at her coldly as he tried to hold back any trembling motion his body wished to do. Something about her stare was sending shivers down his spine and telling his legs to run.694Please respect copyright.PENANAkZtCBHPQLa
694Please respect copyright.PENANAmTUY8k3xxf
The Goddess sighed boredly as she tilted her head to one side. “Only two choices?” she questioned, “that’s no fun at ‘tall.” She released a breath before shrugging. “Oh well, guess you do not desire power after all to be free of these lands and to roam wherever you wish.” She turned on her heel and proceeded to leave which caused Talon to slowly ease up since she was going. He released a breath with his eyes closing as he began to put away his swords.694Please respect copyright.PENANA7hFR9CZ6Ph

A soft thump caught his ears and his eyes opened to see an item shinning in the grass. He approached and gently picked it up to see it was a silver card shaped plate. It was roughly half an inch or so thick and held an odd pattern that looked as if painted on. “Weird,” he muttered then looked up to her and raised it. “Hey!” she stopped to look back over her shoulder. “You dropped this.” He stated while approaching her outside his training area.694Please respect copyright.PENANANv3fyA6WkE
694Please respect copyright.PENANAghoeWY3VHX
“Oh?” she blinked, “I am so clumsy just dropping those things.” She slowly turned to face him as her eyes had shifted to hold excitement in them again.694Please respect copyright.PENANAzhg0kvkpv2
694Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3PnkWC7bU
He held it out to her before looking over the design. “What is it anyway?”694Please respect copyright.PENANAqQZy6qD8WY
694Please respect copyright.PENANAJgfK6zhcaJ
She gained a sly smile as her tone dropped to hold a bit of sexiness to it. “That is just a tiny little gift for you and the brothers as well as that girl~”694Please respect copyright.PENANAYUX4BBFhx2
694Please respect copyright.PENANAD0cw2GBCGt
Talon didn’t get it until he tried to drop it since she wasn’t taking it and his arm was getting tired offering to her. It held onto his fingers then began to spark before causing him to scream in pain while the electricity traveled up his arm and seemingly into his body. The marks on the card were glowing and began to fade as they were being transferred onto his body, placing themselves onto his upper arm near his shoulder. This brought more pain as it felt as if his arm was being burned off. By the time this seemingly endless pain ceased, his body collapsed limp to the ground face first after dropping the metal card. “…” he tried to speak but no words came out as he winced and twitched from the pain he was still feeling.694Please respect copyright.PENANAjrq5YRFY5Z
694Please respect copyright.PENANAFIeMB2yMHa
She approached then knelt down in front of him so she could lift his face just enough to look at its twisted features. “How sweet, you did decide to take my offer after all.” She purred with a small giggle. “You’ll be thanking me soon enough once you see how beautiful and adorable this spell can be over time.” She cooed while softly starting to stroke his cheek with her thumb before shifting her hand up to cup, and then caressed his cheek as she let his head fall back into the soft warm grass. With her other hand, she retrieved her card and slipped it back into a hidden pocket. “Sweet dreams, little boy.” She sang sweetly as she stood before blowing him a kiss. She turned and gracefully took her leave while swaying her hips from side to side.694Please respect copyright.PENANAIZMG0nLa3u
694Please respect copyright.PENANAEOGZXTq8o1
Talon grunted reaching outwards towards her as he tried to keep his eyes opened. “Wait!” he tried to shout. “Come…back…ugh,” he couldn’t keep awake nor could he get his body to rise. He eventually passed out in the grass. 694Please respect copyright.PENANAdpNRb4h3P0
