Chapter 9- Speed

Cetos slowly moved his blade away from my throat, still grinning. “ You underestimated your opponent. Had that happened in battle you’d be dead right now, You should always your opponent is faster and stronger than you are.” “ Well you broke the sword I was using, So what now?” “ Do you expect me to stop attacking? If it was broken by a Sitorian, would they stop?” I sighed heavily. Cetos stared at me for a second. “ I’ll give you a break this time, and let you move on to the next part of the training.” Cetos sheathed his sword. “Hand to hand combat.” “ Is this really even necessary?” “ You wont always have a sword by your side.’

Cetos once again used his incredible speed to get the better of me. He delivered a crushing blow and knocked the wind out of me. Before I could even raise a hand Cetos grabbed my arm and threw me across the room. I quickly stood up. “ How the hell am I supposed to beat this guy when he moves faster than I can think!” Cetos once again started to charge at me. Not to be hit again I quickly moved forward and rolled to the side. Cetos run right past me and nearly into the wall. Finally I saw the flaw in his speed. He moved much faster than the average person but it also took him much longer to stop.


I Moved directly Into Cetos’ path and as he started to charge I crouched slightly and held out my elbow as if he was right in front of me and sure enough, Cetos ran directly into my attack and winced in pain. I attempted to uppercut him but to no avail. He may have been hit but he was still too fast. “ So your finally starting to learn, good I was beginning to think you were a bit slow.” “ Fast enough to hit you” Cetos laughed loudly. “Alright that’s enough for now.” Cetos and I left the training room. As we walked down the hallway to the dining hall I started to wonder about a few things, so I asked him.

“ So…Exactly how did you end up here?” “ When I was a small child the town I lived in was attacked by Sitorians. They killed all of my family and most of the people living there. I and several other children were kept as future soldiers. One day a Large group of people, Who I later found out to be Setorians retook the town in the night. The next morning I met Master Setori. He took me in and treated me as if I were family. I don’t think ill ever be able to repay him for that debt.” “ So you’ve been here since you were a child? “ That’s right. This place is home as well as home to many other Setorians and several other people rescued from Sitorian prisons.” “ Hey there’s some thing else I wanted to ask you about…” “Cetos!” Cetos and I turned to see 2 Setorians running towards us. “ We’ve found the Angel!” A Shocked expression appeared on Cetos’ face. Cetos turned to me “ Quickly come with me, Now is the time to prove your loyalty to master Setori.” Cetos and I left the castle moving at a quick pace. Cetos obviously moving slower so I could keep up. “ Hey Cetos…what did he mean Angel?”


Chapter 10 up tomorrow
