THE DARK COVENANT

Training began at noon. That was mentioned in the paper. After completing the enrollment process, Jrue and Lora were given a booklet containing all of the program's information. Swordsmanship training sessions started at midday and lasted until dusk. Jrue was ecstatic to go to training every day, and he was restless. He couldnt wait for noon to arrive. 


Lora finally told her mother that the only thing that reminded him of their father was their shared love for swordsmanship. Jrue's father had handed on his passion to him, and that was one of the factors that bolstered their father-son relationship. When their mother was forced to sell the shop to another blacksmith because it was the only working workshop in the village and they needed another blacksmith, Jrue felt that the bond had been shattered.
