Chapter 26 - Ch. 25 Enlightenment

Levi: I cannot dwell in the past no more cause it only brings harm to me.

Azhir: well we learn from our mistakes didn't we, the mistakes in the past can be look upon and change from it, Neither do you judge a person who changed due to its past action.

Levi: I understand now, to live properly in the present you must stay in the present, you can look back on the past but cannot live there.

Azhir: Correct, trust yourself that youve changed Child.

Levi: Thanks for this Lesson.

Azhir: No worries, me and Book over there is always here to help you out.

Levi: Thank you. *thinks, if that was all to balance out such thing as confusing as Mana, or maybe accepting the past is as worthy for it to be a challenge, There's people who grieve and doesn't move on from the past I understand now*

*Knight walks in*

Knight: Young Lord, the King asks for you.

Levi: Okay then. *leaves the training hall In ruins heads toward the palace*

Knight: What the F-

*after a while, Levi arrives*

King Maverick: Hello, Son.

Levi: Hello your Majesty.

King Maverick: no need to uphold noble language or whatever you call it never really cared for this bullshit position.

Levi: F-father arent you afraid someone might hear?

King Maverick: What can they do Fire me?

Oh please i need that ive had enough here.

Levi: *thinks now that ive thought about it, i just never assumed, why is he nice but in the past he was a tyrant madman?*

Alright Father, back to the topic, what was I called here for?

King Maverick: Oh nothing i just wanted to talk.

Levi: About what?

King Maverick:What would you do when another Kingdom invades us?

Levi: I would fight until my last breath.

King Maverick: *thinks, this kid know how to use his words well, let's see, time will tell if he would do so* I like your Answer, what if I tell you that War is actually coming?

Levi: Then send me to the frontlines, for i will fight and shed blood.

*King Maverick chuckled from the Determination of Levi of fighting for his motherland*

King Maverick: Very well, I liked all those answers so far, the determination. Well War is truly coming Levi.

Levi: yes ive heard I just never knew who though? may i know father, i mean your Majesty.

King Maverick: as i said no need to uphold formal language to me, you are my son and I am your father at the end of the day.

Levi: I see then.

King Maverick: Ravenholt, Ravenholt is planning to attack us, we just never had the clue when.

Levi: sent me to the border of Ravenholt then Father.

King Maverick: As much as i would like to grant your wish, I would decline that.

Levi: I believe im ready father!

King Maverick: You're not, yes you got talent, but are you the type to kill a man with no hesitation, To see your Comrades and friends die infront of you, To shed blood on the soil that once Crops grew on.

*Levi looks down knowing he's correct.*

King Maverick: See im correct too, and I dont want to see my Son comeback from the battlefield in a casket. I agree your strong and full of talent, but whats talent to experience. What's talent to the dirty tricks, dont expect your enemy to have rules too.

Levi: But-

King Maverick: No means No, I wont change my mind.. Yet that is, The past incidents a year ago, you fought someone strong, almost lost but almost won, you killed a man who ambushed you and ms Seraphina during your date. That others say was worthy enough. But I disagree, you're a young adult, standing for justice, yet this world is Filled with Evil. Tell me Levi, do you Think the world is full of good?

Levi: No, but there can be Good when you do whats actually right.

King Maverick: Prove your strength, have a duel with Senior over there.

Senior Captain: I'll let you do the first strike.

*Levi strikes without hesitation but Senior Captain flawlessly Blocks it and attacks Levi with the blunt side pushing him back and Puts his sword next to his throat*

Senior Captain: and your already dead, and also child, dont believe your enemies thats common knowledge.

Levi: A-aight *coughs and strikes again bur gets countered again this time he was sent back a few feet away*

Senior Captain: this is what your Mahesty meant with, whats talent to Experience, I've slaughtered Too many that i have forgotten.

Levi: but you're no monster.

*Senior Captain has a laugh after awhile*

Senior Captain: your entertaining, you know how to speak well, but what are words to a weapon.

*this time Levi is the one blocking his attacks, he manages to keep it up after the first few strikes that alr tested his limits.*

Senior Captain: you're doing well. *strikes harder now*

*Levi was knocked out cold after the strike*

Senior Captain: Whoops i overdone it.

King Maverick: Havent seen you had this much fun for so long.

Senior Captain: i think he's ready.

King Maverick: you really think so?

Senior Captain; he blocked my attacks, thats the best ive seen from all these younglings, with the exception of Altharion.

King Maverick: Fine I'll try to think about it.

Senior Captain: believe in him, he's strong enough to hold his own isnt he?

King Maverick: Your right, but damn does time fly by, it was like yesterday when i was there carrying him for the first time too.

Senior Captain: we all grow old Your Majesty, no one was an exception to that too.
