I'm amazed that Ashtan managed to teach my little sister, but I'm more amazed by my sister as she managed to learn it that fast. Isn't it amazing? the cub is now growing into a lioness. That was taught to us for a year, however, she learned it just a day. That's what I kept on telling her though, that she'll learn it in no time if she just takes things seriously.
Anyway, I'll stop thinking about it already, Azhakkstadd is still full of surprises, I won't wonder if I suddenly become our tribe's chieftain ahahaha just kidding, though I dreamed about being one. I don't care if I become one or not, by the way.
I'm outside our house where there is an open lot as I held my very own thunder sword. Every student has theIr own weapons to own that was given to us as we reach our last year at school, I just happen to pick a sword. It's the last lesson that was taught to us, that is to be able to learn to arm ourselves, this is applicable with powers too, plus it comes in handy, and we can protect ourselves more.
Every tribe needs this, knowing the time we are in Azhakkstadd, where in times where we should never put our guards down. I'm practicing it right now for tomorrow I'll be teaching it to them. But I still don't know what the others had picked.
The Teras (used to refer people who live in the state of the Earth Metals) does a great job in doing stuff like this, I like this sword I picked. Teras' specialization is doing strong and sturdy weapons and armors. Now, I get to use one of their product.
I gazed at the moon triplets up above. They sparkled in different mystical colors of blue, purple, pink, and red, their colors made my eyes awed in so much astonishment. Just imagine the mystic that's covering the whole sky up above. This view that is common every night has never failed to give gleam over me every time I set my eyes on it.
Azhakkstadd had three moons which almost formed an obtuse triangle, they were named Elara on top, Jacira on the right side, and Chandra on the left, lower than the right. They were named after the Moon Guardians of Azhakkstadd who were believed to be living there.
Elara as the Goddess of Galaxies, Jacira being the Goddess of Constellations, and Chandra the Goddess of Planets, who guard our planet against cosmic destructions and pours out tranquility and reposefulness in Azhakkstadd every night as the moons shine above.
Now, I can feel the blessing they are pouring each night, I am so at ease right now, I feel my body so relaxed. I took a deep breath inhaling the pleasant night breeze that roamed the area. Our community had been doing our best to maintain this kind of comfort among our tribe despite the darkness that surrounds our world.
Think how nice it is to have this view every night, but I'm telling you, this changes every day. It's not as marvelous as before, dark is slowly obtaining power over it as time goes by. The current state of Azhakkstadd made things at their worst. Because of the tumult that happened, darkness is everywhere.
I looked around and I can merely witness things that lie around me who share the moonlight in which the Moon Guardians are giving. I wonder what it looks like when Azhakkstadd isn't as messed up like this. I wonder what it's like when there was no destruction. I wonder what it's like when things were still at their proper order, it must be more pleasant.
Darkness covers my whole body, but I'm not afraid at all. It's as if this darkness soothes my body with much comfort and calms me, which is the exact opposite of what we define dark. The skies are midnight blue, there were no clouds that cover its beauty that made it easy for me to witness the graceful stars twinkling up above.
The skies above shone with delight, it is broad and endless, but it spreads beauty and appreciation. I couldn't imagine myself without seeing those shining diamond stacked in a dark case out there. I'm no nyctophiliac but I just love admiring that peaceful darkness that conquers the rest of the day.
The space is wide. Leaves, trees, grasses, and flowers dances with elegance as the wind kindly passes through with its sweet humming-like sound. It's dark yet my eyes adjusted from it and made me able to have a glimpse at the magnificence around here.
I raised my hand holding my sword and started to sway as if I'm cutting something. I swayed a different direction as my heart pleases. This is part of my warm-up, to be able to practice myself more. I can hear every sound my sword is making from the air. Swoosh sound dashes as I sway my sword harder.
***In the Realm of the Gods***
"Hey look at that!" Kingmerlin excitedly stated while watching a man down the clouds slowly and softly sway, swing, and wave his sword in the midst of the open air. His smile grew wider and wider as the man, powerfully yet effortlessly exercises his skill in using swords.
As the God of war and battle, he specializes in weapons. He's the happiest when an Azhakk does a great job in executing war stunts. "He looked strong and powerful" he added
"Isn't that a sword made by Teras?" Ganasala, the Goddess of Earth Metals, and Minerals uttered as she took a look at what Kingmerlin had been watching
"All weapons in Azhakkstadd are made by Teras, my dear" Prasanna, the God of Earth, Forest, and Natural Disaster, reminded his wife about the mass production of weapons in Azhakkstadd
"Yeah right" Ganasala calmly agreed with a touch of excitement and flabbergast in her face
"That's Kurezma's brother" Iduma interrupted "The one guiding her to become much stronger, cool isn't he?" she convinced her. The others just nodded with agreement and satisfaction. "Well.... how about Kingmerlin and Ganasala, giving a little gift" she continued
"Right, it's for Kurezma anyway, and uses the sword spectacularly, why not" Ganasala exclaimed
"Plus he does look good executing his skills, he has lots of possibilities" Kingmerlin added himself
"Alright then, Elara, shower it to him," Iduma asked Elara who sat relaxed right on the surface of her moon itself
