Scott Mills

Today I was awakened by a very good smell coming from the kitchen, in fact on my birthday my mother Marisel used to make me for breakfast a chocolate cake and pull my ears for the number of years accomplished, while dad always told me the usual story of the day I was born.

It was a beautiful day with a clear sky, until my mother went into labor and the sky began to fill with very threatening clouds, so much that when I was born lightning at the same time struck the pine tree in our garden. So my dad has this theory in his mind, that according to him I will have a great affinity with lighting-type magic.

And mom every time she fists him in the head to make him stop, in a joking way.

In fact my father learned the art of the sword, given his lack of mana, while my mother has a very small amount and was predisposed to life magic, but because of such a low amount of mana she could only heal superficial wounds. So basically I don't have much hope, which is why from the age of 8 I started to train constantly, every day, on the art of swordsmanship, managing to master it very well and hold my own against my dad, who managed to reach level 7 on a scale that goes up to 10 and for those who manage to surpass it are called "Sword Legends".

<< Let's have another fight this afternoon, and as a gift I'll tell you what level you've reached Scott>>

And my dad left the house with a tear in his eyes.

Shortly thereafter came my best friend <>

I opened it and found a freshly forged sword of pure metal, it was really shining and I was complitely open-mouthed.

When the time came for the confrontation with my father Konnor, I headed to the garden where the tree was located, since they had decided to keep it as a good omen. 

<> said Konnor.

<> I exclaimed playfully.

I stood in front of my father holding my sword tightly with both hands. Two seconds of pure study pass to see who will make the first move, Konnor is sturdy and taller than me, so I must use my agility to be able to surprise him.

The first move was made by Konnor and he immediately tries a horizontal slash, but I managed to deflect it with my sword, so I immediately attempted a lunge, but my father managed to foresee it and back off.

So I decided to immediately throw myself at him, but it was a wrong move, because Konnor didn't think twice and decided to charge me as well. In this situation I didn't know what to do so I tried to hit him with a diagonal slash starting from the bottom to the top, but my dad dodged it without any problem and used the opportunity to hit me in the torso and make me fall to the ground in pain, pointing his sword at my throat.
