Chapter 4

Land Of Shadows

Victor stood up after saying what he wanted

Scáthach asked in an inquiring tone " You wish for my tutelage? "

Then she stood up abruptly from the throne

" Take my spear and survive. May you accomplish this i shall mould you into a warrior. Failure is not something this Scáthach acceptes boy , you fail you die ".

Saying so she threw her read spear with several ruins carved onto it at me.

My eys widened

The spear was in front of me a small wip of lightning flashed in my pupils and the spear slowed to a crawl. I felt something pull on my inside as if wanting to come out i focused on it and i felt something come out of.. Was that my soul or what? Anyway now i had a spear in my hand a luxurious looking spear completely white with blue lines running along the shaft and beautiful designs of ancient importance carved on it in gold, its but end was a little thicker than the rest of the shaft and blue and gold rings adorned it, the head the spear blade was the brightest shade of white just like my hair calling it matching wont be a mistake at all. It was now in my right hand. It thrumed with power and gave me is this future sight? I can see which part of my body it the spear of Scáthach threw would hit if i was unable to dough or block. It was my heart.. She was fucking series about killing me!! If i failed.

I quickly jumped to the side only to see a fist connectiing with my stomach, thank fully it would happen half a second in the future so i moved again to my left as i felt air brush against my skin from the punch missing my body by Scáthach. Then i thrust my spear forward towards her face as it inched closer and closer i hesitated. Thats when a fist connected with my face i did not go flying as she had controled her power my face was down i was looking at the ground , then a knee was planted in my face. I went into the air then landed on my back.

Loocking at the cloudy sky i thought where i did wrong. Soon Scáthach came into view with her spear in hand she thrust that spear towards my chest and it pierced in the middle of my chest drowing fresh blood. For the first time in my life i felt my blood leaving my body and something pierce through my skin and flesh. She stoped as the spear tuched my central rib bone. She pulled out.

" Aaaahhh aaaaaahhhh aaaahhhhhh aaaahhhh aaaaahhhh fucking shit "

I screamed in pain for the first time. I rolled around for a bit.

Then i stood up eyes hungry for blood, shirt torn to reveal the fresh wound. With spear in hand i rushed leaving behind a trail of blue lightning.

Scáthach pov

The moment he hesitated he had died a million times at that moment to my eyes. This boy has never known suffering in its truest sense he hasn't felt pain physically before as i have come to learn from his memories. So i made him bleed in one of the most painful places in the human body.

It was effective as i saw those bloodthirsty eyes i felt a smile crawl onto my lips and a bloodthirsty glint appeared in my eyes.

I blinked and his spear was reaching for my head this time no hesitation was felt and i had to try a little to deflect this attack as i did i felt a leg connect to my abs. It sent me skidding back a little as the ground beneath my feet cracked for miles on end. Even though i sayed he had the strength of Nonillin bolts of lightning it is not refined yet his mussels ar not tought enough. I spun my spear and deflected another attack from his spear in that direction a deep crevices was formed dipper than the eye could see. I this time kicked his chin then wraped my legs around his head and pierced his back with it. I saw a smile come to his face as my spear came out from the front of his body. I felt a sense of dainger for the first time in so many years that i lost count and it most certainly was not a false alarm as soon i felt pain in my right thigh. I new what happned my rich battle experience told me what happened. And i smiled " It was a good warm up. Now to end this my new desiple " .

Victor pov

' warm up ha! ' i thought as i saw the spear of

Master.. I can call her that right,? She called me a disciple so its fine i guess. So the spear this time pierced right through the middle of my chest right where i was first wounded in this life. I lost my consciousness. The last i felt was the warm blood of my master's thigh as she spoke " Rest well as you wont get any more of it for quite some time. "

....

.. I opened my eyes to see the ceiling of the room i am going to be seeing quite frequently now. I sat up my injuries had healed and i was as good as new. I looked up to see master sitting and looking at me.

I felt a bit shameful as i was naked when i woke up and i had nothing covering me

" Couldn't you give me a blanket master.. I can call you that right? "

She stood up and " Threw a few peace s of clothing at me then with a snapp of her fingers the bed disappeared and I fell to the ground i looked up at her in annoyance.

She spoke " it seems i have been to good to you by giving a bed. Change and come with me "

I got of the ground and took the clothing as i was putting them on she spoke again " Wait " Then she came close to me she was tall reaching 6'3 ft tall towering over me a 4 ' 11 ft rather tall for my age, but still overshadowed. She bent down and put her finger on my forehead and then created a ruin i felt my connection with my spear break.
