Ilios Clan Head

The steps sounded in the training room as Tenji turned towards the door. He was practicing hard with his staff, sweating all over when he discovered the sound of someone coming from outside towards this training room. 

'Clank, clank, clank'

The sounds he could swear he had been desperate to hear several times, from his childhood to till now. So familiar, that he would wait for all his days to listen to this sound during his early years. 

He didn't stop for a second but continued to swing his staff madly till he felt the steps stop just behind him. He took the staff and swerved it backward to get a shot at the person standing behind him. 

The staff collided and stopped in just a few inches, as a sword barred its path from swinging further. A middle-aged man with bright red hair falling to shoulders and a handsome beard smiled at Tenji, as he blocked his swing.

"Father, you should always keep your guard!"
