The sun rose over this beautiful mountain that shielded its bright it’s sunlight, it was truly a magnificent sight to behold if you were watching this. This forest that was filled with death and the stench of blood it was truly unthinkable to imagine such beauty lay at the core of this forest.

This mountain range was known as Dragons Ascension, it had 5 peaks in total which were occupied by the elders of the clan and their branch family. The highest peak however was reserved for the main family line and the Patriarch of the clan himself, it was his domain.

As the sun rose about the mountain range an old man with scarlet red hair flowing down to his shoulders was standing alone, hands behind his back as he watched the view. This man was the master of the clan, Patriarch of House Redding, Daemon Redding himself. Below him were two young boys and a middle aged looking man with sharp eyes, eyebrows that were like a sharp sword waiting to cut you apart, he stood there with a sword in hand watching the two boys.

“Come at me as if your life depends on it, otherwise not only will both of you miss breakfast I’ll make you run laps around the mountain. Do I make myself clear?!” The middle aged man glared at the two boys.

“Yes father!” they both simultaneously stated.

The slightly taller one of the two suddenly looked at the boy beside him as he smiled; suddenly his eyes changed and looked back at the middle aged man while smiling calmly. He then dashed forward at full speed unsheathing his sword; the sunlight hit his sword which made it looked dazzling to the eyes.

“He is truly a monster” Thought the middle aged man

Daemon seeing this from above calmly smiled as he watched this raising an eyebrow at the young boy and his little plot to surprise the middle aged man.

The young boy plan was simple and calculated, he wanted to use the sunlight in order to blind the middle aged man in front of him to take him by surprise with his speed and reflexes but he calculated wrong.

The middle aged man side stepped to the side so as to block the sunlight view from the boys sword which immediately lost its dazzling sight, he then took a step forward and activated his qi which immediately brought pressure to the boy as if to slow him down, he wanted to use the difference in power to show him how far off he was.

The young boy then rotated his feet as to pivot and put pressure on his left leg which made the ground beneath him shake before crumbling, he then disappeared from the man’s point of view. He wanted to take advantage using absolute speed and overwhelm him with different and random strikes at once.

The middle aged man seeing this was a little shocked that he could grasp this special feet movement skill known as Dragons dance so quickly, although he hasn’t perfected it, he has only been practicing it for a week and he seemed to have the basics down. He was truly proud to have such a son.

The young boy appeared behind his father using Dragons dance to the best ability he could, he then thrust his sword in a rotating manner to pierce him from behind with more power, this was a combination attack he came up with himself with a slight movement of the wrist this pierce power could be tripled.

Daemon watching this simply just sighed as if this grandson of his surprised him every time he sparred against his father, he then looked at the younger boy just standing there watching everything happen from the side lines smiling. He also activated his dragons eye and they were watching with excitement and enthusiasm, he thought this grandson of his was acting a little strange it was the first time he saw this.

The middle aged man who saw this pierce strike coming smiled as he felt the incoming attack get closer and closer, suddenly a strong wind blew and he was gone from his original position.

The young boy seeing this immediately activated Dragons Dance and he appeared in different location, he used his Dragons eye to look around as if to feel the qi in the air for any signs. He however was disappointed.

The middle aged man appeared behind him then grabbed him by his shirt and threw him against the tree, he then smiled as if he was pleased with himself. Suddenly he felt cold glare from the side as he looked there stood Aida watching him, he suddenly broke out into cold sweat and started laughing like a fool.

The other boy who was watching this the entire time suddenly acted as if this was the perfect opportunity, he did the exact same run as the slightly taller boy, he then activated dragons dance and appeared behind the middle aged man. He then procedure to do the same attack with his sword which immediately started to rotate and the wind picked up to reinforce its speed as it travelled through the air.

The middle aged man seeing this was shocked as if this was a dejavu, he wanted to react the same as he did with the older boy but something told him that was a dangerous move, so he decided to retreat and appear to the side.

The younger boy seeing this smiled, as if he was expecting this, he then activated the same Dragons dance movement as his father, a lot better than his brother and appear instantly next to his father and he then sent qi towards his throat.

Dragon arts – second form Dragons Road

ROARRR!!!

The middle aged man seeing this was shocked and immediately realised where he was and what happened, the boy he decided to throw towards the tree earlier had disappeared, the second thing he noticed was he had ended up close to the tree few steps away from it. He then realised his second son was right in front of him with astonishing speed almost same as his.

The younger boy having used Dragons Roar to intimidate and boost his strength a little dashed forward, appearing instantly in of his father activating a basic sword slash with qi around it so it goes undetected while it travels through the air.

The middle aged man, raised his arm and the sword in his hand suddenly ignited with flames. The entire area was filled with scorching hot flames as if the air itself was fire, suddenly the flames started to rise behind the man who shouted.

Dragon Flame Arts – Sea of endless flames

The fire started to rush forward as if waves were crashing one after another, as they proceeded towards the boy who was dashing at full speed, his eyes sparkling with excitement as if this was what he truly wished for. He rushed into the flames while activated his qi around his body and suddenly scarlet red flames started to appear around his body which were hotter than the flames he was facing and they devoured it like a giant beast that was starved for an eternity.

The middle aged man expected this, he didn’t put too much of his own power into it he thought 25% of his power would suffice but he clearly underestimated this son of his, he was both pleased and disappointed with himself for not knowing his own son well enough.

Behind the middle aged man the slightly older boy appeared, he stood behind the man again, he raised his sword straight and suddenly flames started to appear, this however was different from his younger brother as his flames were crimson in colour, less hotter than his brother but he was still pleased with himself.

Dragon Flame Arts – Fire Cross

He slashed the sword both sideways and up and cross shaped sword attack proceeded towards the man, at the same time in front of the middle aged man, the younger boy appeared before him.

Dragon Flame Arts – Fire Cross

The middle aged man was stuck in the middle of crimson fire and scarlet fire proceeding towards him at an incredible speed, he really didn’t want to activate his true power but it looked like he had no choice but to guard himself with his Orange flames which were slightly inferior to crimson and scarlet but he had higher cultivation strength which made it stronger.

He bathed himself in orange fire around his body and both Cross upon contact with the orange fire were consumed.

“Okay that’s enough for today” Raehor finally ended the sparring session.

He was truly impressed with Raegan reflexes and his ability to improve techniques as if he was the one who invented them, he also always looked out for his younger brother allowing him to use his eyes to observe and learn from him as he sparred. He truly felt Raegan was worthy of being an elder brother, he doted more on Raegar than anyone.
