Echoes Of Darkness

The morning sun bathed the campsite in a warm glow as the knights gathered in a circle, their expressions a mix of determination and resolve. Captain Elias sat at the head of the group, his eyes scanning each of his companions with a sense of purpose.

"Alright, let's discuss our plan," Elias began, his voice steady and commanding. "I'll take charge of teaching the boy swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat."

Grayson nodded in agreement. "I'll handle his magical training," she stated, her voice filled with confidence. "I'll teach him the basics of mana control and spellcasting."

Several other knights chimed in, offering their own areas of expertise. "I can teach him reading and writing," one knight volunteered, his voice brimming with enthusiasm. "And I'll teach him arithmetic," another added, his tone confident.

As the knights continued to discuss their plans, Marcus interjected with a note of caution. "Before we get ahead of ourselves, we need to ensure the boy has a strong foundation of knowledge," he reminded them, his voice serious. "He needs to understand the history of our continent, the origins of magic, and the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic."

A solemn agreement rippled through the group as they nodded in understanding. Captain Elias surveyed his companions with pride, grateful for their dedication to the boy's education.

With a heavy sigh, Marcus rose to his feet, his gaze fixed on the boy. "I guess I'll start with the basics," he said, his voice soft yet determined. "Come on, let's find a quiet spot to sit and talk."

The boy followed Marcus as they moved away from the group, finding a secluded spot to sit and begin their lesson. Marcus launched into a detailed explanation of the continent's history, describing its formation and the rise of magic within its borders.

As the conversation unfolded, the boy listened intently, his eyes wide with curiosity. He absorbed every word Marcus said, his mind buzzing with newfound knowledge.

When Marcus finally paused, he looked at the boy expectantly, awaiting his response. The boy nodded eagerly, a spark of excitement in his eyes.

"Good," Marcus said with a smile. "Let's get started."
