Speeding Up Training

Taira had faced down monsters before. Both in the shells of man and the skins of beasts.

He had endured horrible training that would have killed, if not driven insane, the average warrior.

His father, wherever he was now, was the single most frightening being to ever spawn in the world of Tayar in its entire long and violent history. And he had stared down that bastard many times before.

His masters were two of the greatest powerhouses within the upper realm. The Great God of Beasts, Fenris, and The Eternal Winter, Velreth.

But never in all of his days has he stared down a more fearsome creature than his daughter after he told her he was going to be leaving again.

"Nooo! You can't go again! You just can't!"

Yukiko held onto Taira's leg for dear life. Her face was stark red, and her cheeks were puffed out to their absolute maximum.
