Chapter 6 - Training

I head to my inn and the first thing I experience is stare.

Well it's no surprise since I am bloody and messy.

I just hunted some wolves as an excuse and brought it along myself to the inn.

So without heeding other's stare I return to my room.

First thing I do is clean my body thoroughly.

'For now I should rest then I will get back to training.'

I think as I come out of the bathroom. 

Without having much to do I sit on the chair to sharpen my sword.

'Damn it I am feeling quite lonely.'

Now that I am abandoned it would be odd to say I am from bloodrune clan.

I have no surname I am just a commoner now.

Until I will kill them and become patriarch myself I will endure it.

I unsheathe my sword and almost immediately it starts glowing blood red.

"I have no fucking idea why are you behaving like this."

I say as I look at my sword.

"I don't think you need sharpening."

I had some questions to ask that man.

Tch!!!

With irritated face I stand up and stretch my body.

'For now let's just rest'

I think as I lay down in my bed. My exhausted body slowly gained strength and before I know it I was already asleep.

_________

'Where am I?'

I enter a void like space. A white room to be exact.

I have no idea how I entered here.

THUD!!!

I hear a loud noise and turn around.

I see my own self getting beat up by my half brothers in the name of training.

Most of them hitting with a poker face. As if they are beating object.

"Weak trash."

I can notice some of them glaring at me like I am some insignificant filth.

A bitter smile curves in my cheek.

'This is my own fault for being weak.'

"Lick it."

I hear another voice. I don't need to think twice about who it is.

Kelt

Now that I am in 3rd person I can see every people watching me lick.

Almost all of them were enjoying this.

What is so interesting about this? Why are you like that?

These thoughts rage on my mind as I try my best to calm down.

AHHHHHHHHHHH

In the next moment I see myself getting cut.

My flesh and shattered ribs completely visible.

That man inserting a hand and crushing my heart.

__________

AHHHHHHHHHHH

I wake up in pained expression. I look down on my chest and put a hand on it.

'It's still beating.'

This heart is like a real one. It is following my stimuli and beats according my mental condition.

'It's almost evening.'

I say when I look at my window.

It's time for some more training. This time I will go deep into the jungle of Valmonths.

Unlike Leior forest it is a safe place to train.

* * * * * * * * *

"Alright let's train here."

I say as I rest my belongings on the meadow.

It is a small grassland followed by a waterfall. A perfect place to meditate.

__________

1001, 1002, 1003, 1004...

Right now I am swinging my sword with all my might.

My hand hurts. My body is swelling and I am drowning in fatigue.

Since I have no source to learn bloodrune techinques I should learn my own "blood sword" technique.

CLANG

I fall down with my sword. Tiredness all around my body, too sore to even stand.

But I stand nevertheless and head to the waterfall.

'I should meditate for a while.'

I monologue as I sit down on the middle of the waterfall crossing my legs and closing my eyes.

'The water is fucking cold.'

The only thing that plays in my mind is to endure it.

'Endure it! endure it! endure it! endure it! endure it! endure it! endure it!'

I constantly encourage myself to endure it as I meditate.

After meditating for just 10 minutes I broke my meditation.

"Fuck my head hurts all over."

My heart is beating fast and I feel numbness round my back.

'It will take some time to recover my blood circulation and heart rate.'

For now I should head back to training.

3rd person POV....

"Yennefer!!! I will handle this matter. You need not concern yourself with these affairs."

A grumpy old man shouts at a girl. She was a beautiful young girl who have just entered her teenage.

She have a long, straight black hair and deep black eyes. Her skin is fair and smooth, with a soft glow to it. She's wearing a short, kimono-style outfit. It ends at her upper thighs, showing off her plump, fair legs. The sleeves are loose and wide, giving it a relaxed but stylish look.

But such elegant and beautiful face was irritated by her old man.

"Father, I am next successor of patriarch's position. My only brother was killed by bloodrunes and our family is suffering from coup. So it is necessary to address these nuisance rebels."

"You have just entered youth Ynnefer. And you have to enroll in the academy to gain status and reputation. You are young so you don't have to involve yourself in this bloody mess."

"Rest assured father. I do not plan to kill them."

She clicks her tongue with irritation.

"I will go visit my fiance and ask for his help."

"Insolent daughter!!! I told you to not concern yourself."

*cough cough*

His outburst almost made him choke from his own cough.

"Lord Aldric!"

Concerned servants approach him to give some water.

Ynnefer looks at the scene coldly while holding back her moist eyes and turns around.

"I understand your concern father but I must do what I must do. You should rest father."

Aldric couldn't say anything. He sees his daughter going away from the chamber.

Feeling defeated he retreats to his bed chamber.

*Cough cough*

'If only by son was alive and I wasn't suffering from this damn illness...."

Deep regret flash in his eyes while he lays down and tries to sleep.
