knocking him out for good. The fight is over within a few seconds. Spirit wags his tail a few times more and walks towards Ray. Obviously the white wolf finds the entire fight quite entertaining.
Ray and Spirit turned away and began walking out of the alley. Lance, though his face was bruised and swollen, ran out towards them.
“Master Iddell, could you teach me ? ” asked Lance.
“Teach _ of what do you request me to do of this ? ” replied Ray as he turned around.
“Teach me how to be an Elementhar. Teach me Elemental Sorcery ! ” answered Lance.
“Elemental Sorcery _ to learn of this is not an easy task, as it requires commitment, discipline and perseverance; and why would you require such knowledge anyway ? ” enquired Ray further.
Lance was silent for a while. Then he looked at Ray with the most honest expression that he could muster.
“A demon killed my family, my entire family ! I’ve no one left. I’ve nothing left. That thing took everything away from me ! I don’t want the same fate to befall anyone else. I want to dedicate my entire life to hunting and eliminating these evil things. So I need you to teach me. Please, sir ! I beg of you, teach me so that I can cleanse this realm of all demons,” explained Lance.
“Opportunity _ of this, I shall give to you, but only one; should you waste it, there will not be another, do you understand ? ” stressed Ray.
“I understand completely, sir,” confirmed Lance.
“Possessions _ gather all yours of these and meet me in front of the town hall in an hour, we shall be leaving this place,” instructed Ray.
“That’s not necessary, sir. The only possession I have left is here with me. My grandfather’s sword and a few clothing items, that’s all that I have to my name. We can leave now, if you wish,” said Lance.
“Leave _ then we shall do of this now,” said Ray.
Ray, Spirit and their new found travelling companion walk down the main road and follow it out of Greentown. Lance turns his head and glances behind, looking at the town for one last time. Overhead, the clouds begins to thicken, ensuring another evening of torrential downpour that is so characteristic of Wet Season.
CHAPTER THREE
THE JOURNEY EASTWARDS
Howling winds drown the ambient noises on this gloomy night, the Second Night of Second Month of Wet Season . Torrential rain lashes against every available surface in Eastern Falls Province. In a small cave not too far off the main road leading out of Greentown, three figures sit solemnly around a small bonfire. The dancing flames create a play of shadows on their faces. Master Elementhar Ray Iddell stares blankly into the flames. Novice Elementhar Lance Arman, as he is now known, stares up into the sky in deep thought. Spirit the White Wolf, looks ahead, his ears twitching ever so slightly at the faintest of sounds.
The trio had been travelling on the main road in an easterly direction since they left Greentown and every night they were forced to seek shelter from the lashing rains and freezing winds. During these moments of rest and refuge, Lance was taught the basic concepts of Elemental Sorcery. He had learned of the origins of Elementhars, Ordered Elementhars and Elemental Sorcery. He had also learned of the five orders that formed the Grand Order of Elementhars, which was administrated by the High Council of Elementhars; and a brief description of each Elemental Sorcery discipline that these orders practiced. He was told that most Elementhars mastered only one of the disciplines, with the rare gifted ones mastering two at best. Each discipline took a lifetime to truly master. The mastering of more than two disciplines was forbidden, for this was the law that was set down by Pioneer Elementhar Nova Vanguard who founded the Grand Order 700 years prior.
