Secret of the Half-Elf Elder...

"No! No!! No!!! you need to put your heart into it. Your sword is merely an extension of your body, flow with it!"

Aleen guided and corrected Nora's form, and stance as she practiced her sword drills.

It was already late at night. In fact, many might simply say that it was already morning. But Aleen was relentless in his training with his daughter. In his eyes, she was his pride and joy.

As father and daughter practiced, Nora noticed the approach of mounted Core beasts in the distance.

"Father! are we expecting guests?" She asked.

Aleen looked into the distance and he too was surprised.

There were five red-horned horse core beasts in total.

One look at them and Aleen knew that who so ever it was that was coming, was a very important guest.

After all, it was one thing to kill cored Beasts and another thing to tame them.

Taming Core beasts took far more time, resources, and most especially dominance to achieve.
