As I sleep I dreamed about me being alive and nursed back on Earth with my lovely wife Lorna and my two cute daughters Rei and Mei on my side sleeping while I saw my wife smiling at me with a face full of concern and pain after a few moments I saw something makes my skin crawl as something pop out of my wife face and when I look at my daughter I saw their eyes pitch black and with a face full of pain. I woke up from that horrifying nightmare with a scream and I saw someone rushed in to my door with weapons drawn and I got scared but when I look clearly it's Knight Robert with my Sword Instructor Keven with him.

I heard Knight Roberts shout reverberate around my room "WHO IS THERE?! GET OUT BEFORE I SLICE YOU INTO OBLIVION!!" then I saw Instructor Keven walks to me worriedly and ask "What happen, Young Master? Did someone tried to kill you?" I answered back "No, it's only but a nightmare. No need to worry about." I saw Instructor Keven nod and looks back at Knight Robert and said "It's okay, Robert. No one is in here. Young Master was having a nightmare that's all." Knight Robert looks at Instructor Keven and asks "Are you sure there's no one in here? Did you check it with your Sense?" I saw Instructor Keven nod and said "Yes, I already did it thrice. Alright, we need to go back now. Young Master still needs to rest." I nod at both of them and said "Yes, good night to the both of you."

After that both of them head back and I start to think what the hell is that dream about. Then I began to worry if something happen to both of my wife and kids and blamed myself as I shouldn't have concerned myself with that and tried to become a hero.I began to regret doing that and starts to think of what ifs. What if I didn't concerned myself with that kid, what would happen? What if I didn't tried to be an hero and called the cops, what would happen? After a few moments of procrastinating I start a new resolve. I start to think if I am not that weak and if I was trained would I have somewhat survived that attack?

With those resolve I jump out of my bed and head to the training field and starts radio calisthenics, stretching my body, and starts to jog around the field for a few hours after that I rest for a 10 minutes before I began training with the sword with more resolve, passion, and fanaticism. After 2 hours or so I fell back on the ground and greedily inhaled the air as I am very exhausted with the intense practice that I've done even though it's just slash, pierce, step back, slash, etc that Instructor Keven said to me and I began to think of what my Instructor said to me when I was practicing.

(a short flashback)

"Remember every skills in this world lies on foundation. Just like a building, they need foundation to support the weight they have so that they can stand straight with their bricks held up high. Because of that what I am going to focus on teaching you for 4 days before you go back to your Ancestral Land is all about Laying the Foundation because we are rushed I will have you remember each and every move with your life depends on it. Every move like the river stream flowing down endlessly and every step is like the clouds/winds free and soft and might like the boundless earth that supports life on it's back." Instructor Keven said to me with a majestic gaze that saw through my entire being.

(back to present)

Remembering what Instructor Keven said I began to chuckle as I didn't knew that he could somehow say those philosophical words and with that I start to do what he said, I start to practice my footwork like I am the flowing River, I start to move like the clouds/winds moving with freedom, flawlessly, and speed, I start to move my sword with boundless might of Earth carrying it's precious sons and daughters on it's back protecting them and destroying the monsters that prey on it. With that time flows by before I knew it was already midday and I saw my Father, Mother with her entourage of maids, the guards, and both my menter and teacher Instructor Keven and Sir Robert(even though we only jogged before I stop) looking at me with wide eyes and I saw my Mother look at me with tenderness, concern, and fear of me injuring myself.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

When I saw all of them looking at me like I am an exotic animal I coughed and everyone starts to praise me and talk of what happen. I noticed the both my Mother is running to me with a face full of concern  "I heard what happened last night from Robert and Keven, it's okay honey. We will sleep together after we go back home okay? Also, they told me that you've been doing that when since yesterday midnight. It's okay to practice like that but please take care of your body and I also I will not permit you on practicing like this again without my supervision got it?!" Mother said to me sternly with gaze that could kill you instantly and somehow I saw a red glint appear from her eyes when she said that. I got scared immedietly and then I heard my stomach growl as I lower my head in embarassment.

"Hoho, our little protege is hungry eh? Come let's go and have a dinner before you go and take a bath." Father said to me while smiling and feeling proud of his son. I nod to my Father and starts to head to the dining room with my Mother in tow with that I ate and then I took a bath. While I was bathing I began to wonder what happen to me at that time that I didn't even notice that I practiced for almost half a day and didn't even notice time flowing by and any exhaustion, is this what they called 'Enlightenment' ? Wherein a person gets enlighten about something and he/she starts doing that action subconciously? Wow, I never knew that I could somehow gain that so called 'Enlightenment'. I didn't read much of chinese novels to know what happen to me but I know that I somehow gain enlightenment about swords.

While I was pondering about those troubling things I heard my maid said "Young Master, are you done bathing? Madam called for you she said it's important." I said "Okay! I am coming out now tell my Mother I am coming now and no need to wait for me to dress I can do that for myself you can go now." I nod to the maid as I start to dress myself up and followed the maid to my Mothers room and then she knocked "Madam, Young Master is here please excuse me as I am needed elswhere." then I heard my Mother's voice "Okay, you can go now and can you say to my husband that we are now going." I opened the door and saw my Mother on a scarlet dress with her hair tied and I saw my Mother look at me mischievously and said "Oho~, are you falling for your Mother now?" I answered in hurry "NO! I am just surprised that you're wearing a dress.

Are we going somewhere, Mother?" I saw my Mother chuckle at me while I grumble "Yes, we are honey. Seems like we can't stay here for so long as we need to go back now. It's because there's no one to supervise your younger sister that we are going back now." I saw my Mother sigh and stands up on her bad and walks to me "You know that your sister missed you so much that she began to do that right?" I nod to my Mother without knowing what will happen when I get back as I thought that the previous Karl dotes on her so much that she became like that.

"Okay Mother, let me go take my things and let's go." With that I start to head to my room and starts to carry my things to the front door where we receive guests and I saw my Mother there waiting. "Are you ready to go now, honey~?" I nod to my Mother and we began to walk out of my house and saw something that changed my life. I saw a big majestic white Dragon in front of our house and I saw my Mother looks at me with a face that was telling me that she's holding her laugh "What? Never seen a big lizard before?" Mother laughed at me as she points her figure to me and to our luggage and they or we began to float to the dragon. I saw my Mother looking at the Dragon and said "Sylphie, sorry for calling you when you're having a nice sleep but we are in a hurry. We need to go back home." then I saw the Dragon nod and began to hoist itself up to fly "Come here and grab this handle tightly if you don't want to fall." Mother smiles at me and we began on a fast journey back home.

For some reason I kinda feel sad as I didn't venture out of my home and I didn't see the capital as the flying speed of this Dragon is ridiculous. *sigh*I do hope that when I get back home, I hope that I could somehow I think live in peace I don't want to get caught up into someone scheme and die without knowing who killed me and what happpen, I feel omnious when I said that.
