"Tears in the Morning"

Leonard spent a long time in the clearing with Saito, training and specializing in his new battle class. He focused on his leg movements, establishing his own style of attack and defense, and honing his muscles to fit the Blade Dancer style.

"What I thought I knew about swordsmanship… was so shallow," he thought as he caressed the blade of one of his swords, feeling the cold, smooth steel.

He looked up, taking in the view of Lake Zafir. The morning sun, already high, created a long, shimmering path of golden light on the calm water. The imposing cliffs around the lake rose up, covered in lush greenery. Every now and then, an animal or Leirion approached the edge, only to quickly retreat, startled by a potential fall.

Leonard stood up, determined. It was time to put into practice what he had learned, to face the missions Saito would give him. He returned to the cabin area, knowing that this place would be his new starting point, a fresh start.
