***After Traveling for Two Hours***
/povMC/
"'Syrax'!.. Yes a fine name for a 'desert-eagle' as 'majestic as you!.. by the gods!.. what a perfect creation.. wouldn't you say 'Wolf'?.." I said as I stroked the feathers of the large eagle that 'bonded' with me.. merely an hours 'trek' into our journey..
"Aye!.. she's a 'natural-born' 'ruler-of-the-skies'.. she is m'lord!.. a fine addition to your 'retinue' m'lord.." the 'Wolf' grumbled out like he always does.. every time he speaks no matter what the subject is.. a lot of growling and snarling he does..
"'Lord-Commander'!.. I know we have passed the 'Vulture's-Roost' by now.. it's getting close to 'night-fall' let's stop here.. make camp!.." I inform 'Hightower' of my wish to stop for the day.. and 'set-camp' for the night..
"By your will my 'Prince.. Halt!.. let's get off the path and 'set-up' camp here!.." he says as he acknowledges my orders and obeys my commands.. by ordering a 'halt' and commanding for camp to be 'set-up' off to the side of the path..
"'Syrax' scout the 'skies' my dear please.. go ahead and find us a nice fat rabbit for supper while your at it.." I said to my pet 'bird-of-prey'.. as it 'cawed' and took 'flight'..
******************
***After eating and laying down to slumber for the night***
/povMC/
Alright.. I get ready to 'slip-off' into my 'dreams'.. and as my 'breathes' start to grow more steady and slower.. until I suddenly 'sense' some kind of 'dimension-crossing'.. 'suctional-force' pulling me into my 'transfer-space'..
*******************
***After 'Cao-Ce' exited the 'portal' into his and his brother's 'bed-room' in 'Cao-Manor'.. and the 'portal' closed behind him..***
/povMC/
As I came out of the 'transfer-space' and into my room.. I was still wearing all my armor and weapons.. I could hear 'Cao-Ang' snoring still sleeping.. the roosters on the 'estate' were 'cawing' alerting the residents that the sun was indeed rising..
"Ang!.. wake up!.." I shout to wake my brother.. who almost jumps out of his bed.. then he opened his sleepy little eyes..
"Ce?.. wow!.. where did you get all that!?.. the 'Dragon-Wings' on that helmet is so cool.." he yells asking whilst rubbing his sleepy eyes..
"Haha!.. gifts from the 'gods'!.. haha little brother your 'big-bro' is now a 'champion' chosen by the gods themselves!.. check out my weapons.. sharpest and strongest metal in ever forged.. it's called 'god-metal'.." I say as I make something up to satisfy his curiousity… I'll have to explain the 'origins' of my equipment more than once I have a feeling..
"Thats so 'cool'!.. maybe they will send me some too!.." he yells in excitement..
"I'm sure as long as you are a good little brother.. the gods will see fit to name you a 'champion' as well 'lil-bro'.. now come let's get started with our new daily-routine.." I say to assure him that he will have his own armor and weapons one day.. then I urged him to get ready for the day to begin..
*******************
***After grabbing some food and reaching the 'Training-Area'***
/povMC/
"Ok so after we have done our 'stretching' and finish our 'morning-jog'.. we will begin our 'boxing'.. un-armed combat is all about making your enemy's attacks miss you.. while making sure your attacks land on your opponent.. thats why most of the 'forms' I will teach you all start from the 'horse-stance'.. if you want to become a true 'martial-artist' you have to 'possess' a solid foundation or 'lower-body'.. 'Balance'!.. is one of the most important aspects or 'martial-arts'.. between stetching, jogging, and 'boxing' your balance will naturally improve.. each and every day we will put in the time and effort into getting better and stronger.. we are the 'eldest-grandsons'.. any siblings or kin that come after us will look to us to lead and guide them.. this is a responsibility all 'elder-siblings' share.. we are not the 'eldest-grandsons' of an ordinary family either Ang!.. 'Greatness' will be expected of us.. our ancestor 'Cao-Shen' was an 'states-man' for the emperor of the 'Western-Han' Dynasty over 'three-hundred' years ago.. our family is a great family with a lengthy history and one with a proud lineage.."
"I didn't know that brother.. your right.. I'll listen to you.." Ang told me.. causing me to smile and nod my head in appreciation of him..
"Good!.. I'm going to practice
my throwing and my 'dagger-play'.. you keep 'boxing'.. once your arms and legs feel like they are on 'fire' and once it is hard to move them.. thats when you can stop and stretch to 'cool-down' your muscles to finish.." I tell him as I inform him of the plan for our training today.. then I walked over to the side where I would get my 'grind-on' until my 'throwing' and 'dagger-play' reach 'level-three'..
*******************
***After an hour of training***
/povMC/
"Ow!.. yea it burns.. Ce!.. ow!.." my brother says as he start to slowly lay on the grass.. rubbing and squeezing on his arms and legs..
"Alright!.. 'toughen-up' Ang!.. it only hurts so much because it's the first day 'exercising'.."
I say as I'm feeling the 'energy' making my body 'stronger'.. I had 'upgraded' my 'throwing' and 'dagger-play' both to 'level-three'..
