Three weeks have pasted of non stop training with Ceisthene and the difference it has made is greater than two months of training with the guys. With Ceisthene I have learned to sense the natural powers of my surroundings which allows me to harness and control several of the goddesses at once, but I can only control Asha or Aluana individually. I can also proudly say that of my own power I can harm Ceisthene. The difference his training has made is profound.
"Ready for training," I ask bouncing up to Ceisthene. I was excited for today: I was going to beat him today in a fight.
"Training is canceled." I look at his calm composer with confusion as he walks right past me. We train every day why would training be canceled?
"Why?" I demand whipping around to glare at him.
"I have an expedition into the Mikia."
"Can I join? I want to see the world." Ceisthene just looks me over seeming to debate the matter.
"I'm not sure that would be wise."
"Why? I can handle my own against you and if its about me sticking out because of my clothes then we can get me something to change into." He continues to look at me while I stare on back. Finally with a sigh as he runs his fingers through his hair and I get him to agree.
"There's an outfit prepared for you in my room. It's supposed to be the outfit you wear when we go to war." I nod my head and walk off in the direction of his room.
In the room I found a loose off white cloth connected to a golden chest plate. I grab it and put it on, but it fell really low in the back since it wasn't connected to anything. I look myself over debating if this would be OK.
"Neona did you find it," Ceisthene asks before knocking on the door and letting himself in.
"It falls really low in the back," I admit still concerned with the length of the back.
"We have leather staps you can use to tighten and hold the outfit together." I nod my head and watch Ceisthene walk off to get me my straps. When he returns he holds in his hand two leather straps that I gratefully take. I use the leather straps and tie both of them around my wasist. In some ways I feel that it tied the outfit together, now if only I didn't have these tennis shoes to clash.
"Alright, ready to go." Ceisthene motions for me to follow him with a smile. I was excited, though I tried to make it not so obvious. I finally get to see the place I came from and the place that Hiei grew up in. After all this time I can finally learn about the place that I came from with my own experiences and sense, not everything from word of mouth of the guys.
"Where exactly are we heading off to?" I ask Ceisthene while following him through the building.
"An area that used to belong to King Mukuro." I nod my head but internally smile at the thought of seeing the place that Hiei grew up in. I don't know much about his past except what he recently started to tell to me and even that isn't much. It doesn't bother but I still wish I knew about Hiei and his life, not that I don't understand him but it isn't the same.
I've decided small frequent updates would be better because it feels more manageable.
