Chapter 5 - Monsters Training

The training was nothing short of amazing , he had been at it for a little over five week now , the moment he opened his eyes in the morning after the nightly meditation was the moment his training started, it was now a little advanced , instead of doing five hundred push ups , squats and jumping jacks , he was doing a thousand of each, a 10 km run around the cave was now added to the mix , he had to run such a distance while carrying half a tonne load. The training was doing wonders , you could see it from his well toned body and physic. He was not bulky , he had all the right amount of muscle with enough power to blast a hole in a mountain with his fist. Voldrak stood there ,at the entrance of the cave watching as Maverick was training. He had one simple thought in his mind 'what the fuck was this going on in front of my eyes', of course demons were powerful entities but not to this level.In all the time he had been with Maverick , he had seen him sleep once, of course you might be wondering why Voldark would be shocked by this since demons only sleep once every four weeks, well that's because it's bullshit , demons need to sleep at least once a week to function at full strength , they have to sleep at least eight hours to regain their power, but this motherfucker only slept once in five weeks and everyday he was working at full strength as if everything was okay. At first Voldrack thought that Maverick used meditation as an excuse to sleep but was shocked to find out that was not the case. He had tried to attack Maverick in the middle of his so called meditation, but that endeavor was unsuccessful, Maverick asked what he was doing before he even had the time to finish drawing his pentagram, all of this happened and Maverick had not even opened his eyes to look at Voldrack, he had his back facing Voldrack.

Voldrak had told Maverick that demons sleep at least once every four weeks so that he could find an excuse to scold him when he failed to train and decided to sleep , it was just a way to call him lazy. Well that had back fired massively, but its not like Voldrak was gonna tell him to stop, he was impressed by the improvements Maverick had shown and the endless potential he was showing , in other words Maverick was a genius.'I guess its time we focus on magic training rather than strength training' Voldrak thought before calling out to Maverick.''Maverick come here!'' Voldrak called out.''Yes sir!'' Maverick replied without missing a beat and stood up and went to Voldrak.''Today i think we should focus on magic training , i have noticed that your horns have started to form on your head and that's a sign that you have grown enough to be taught magic , usually demon are not taught such things because they grow up on their own and have to discover their own affinity for magic''. The last part of the sentence came as a shock to Maverick , '' You mean to tell me that demons are born and then abandoned by their parents ,that means they will never know their parents or who their parents are?'' he asked. ''Yes , they are born and left to fend for themselves , that's the only way we can ensure that they are not weak , the right mentality is what determines the strength and growth of a demon , pampering a demon will only make it weak''. ''Look at you humans , if you were taught survival instinct from a young age you wouldn't be in this situation , you would have had the ability to sense that something was wrong with your brother , family and girlfriend''.''These things can not be taught , they have to come from surviving life and death situations''.

The more Voldrak explained it to him the more it made sense to him, it kinda sounded acceptable, in fact it was right way to raise children. He wasn't sure if this kind of thoughts were influenced by the environment he was in now or if the scene of him being killed by his brother had shattered all the humanity in him.In fact it was the environment he was in that had influenced him in to becoming more demonic and less of a human like his soul was. His soul had been put in a demons body, and it absorbed all the negative energy in the area. Negativity was like the oxygen of the abyss, demons couldn't live without it. Negativity was released by the demons themselves, because from the moment they are born they have no one to take care of them or show them love so it was all over the place. Emotions like sadness , anger , hatred , contempt and disgust were what turned into negative energy that was later absorbed by demons and released again, it was like a cycle

''Well shall we start the lesson then'' said Voldrak as he sat down on a large rock with a flat top.'' Each demon has an affinity with a certain types of elements such as fire, water, ice , earth , lighting , shadows and wind, they can use two at most and these two are usually closely related like water and ice although it is rear to see water type demons , you usually will come across fire and wind or wind and earth or something along those lines, this only applies to common demons''. ''Noble demons can use three to four elements, like me for example i can use fire, water, ice and lighting '' said Voldrak as he made pentagrams for each element and they began to float around his head. To say Maverick was amazed would be an understatement , he just sat there with his mouth agape with out blinking , it was the first time he had seen something like this. ''To determine the elements you can use you have to close your eyes and image yourself in the third person, you have to like separate your soul from your body and look at it in a third persons point of view , you will see thread like material that will be entering your body , each will be a different colour''. Red for fire , Blue for water , White for ice , Yellow for lighting , Brown for earth, Purple for shadows and Green for wind''. As Voldark explained this Maverick sat there paying attention to every word that was coming from his mouth, he knew that this vital information

''I want you to sit down and do what i just explained to you , I expect it to take you two days at most for you to figure out your elements and after you are done we can discuss what happens next '' Voldrak said this as he stood up from were he was sitting . He was trying to make Maverick get worried when he said it takes two days at most because even for a noble demon like him it took four days of uninterrupted meditation to determine what his elements. 'I have got you now Maverick lets see if you can overcome this' he thought to himself as he prepared to walk outside the cave before Maverick stopped him to ask a question that had been haunting him for while. '' By any chance sir are the thread you mentioned supposed to look like flying snakes of different thickness?'' asked Maverick.Voldrak could already kinda tell what was goin to happen next and he did not like it , he answered with a nod then Maverick with big smile on his face said '' Well i have been seeing these kind of thread everytime i meditate at night''. Voldark just stood there at a lose of words 'what in the actual fuck is this , this kid is a monster ' he thought to himself
