The Retaliation of the Dragon: Rise Of The Unbroken
Valornia Village and First Training
Valornia is a village that was once a temple as well as the residence of all the followers of Argentina. The village was so prosperous and peaceful. Long before the wars of the earth and sky raged, there lived herds of fairies, elves, dwarves, and all kinds of other mythological creatures. Every now and then, Argentia would come down to visit to give blessings to the newborn babies from the womb of the Darkwood Forest forest. Yep! Valornia was once a vast village that maintained the tranquility and balance of the forest which now turned into so gripping and filled with the anger of forest creatures who had been possessed by the power of the demonic dragon.
The village then turned into a place protected by a magic seal that surrounded like a veil to escape the one-sided slaughter by the demonic dragon army. Then one night, a bloody tragedy ravaged the village. Remnants of the followers of Argentia were massacred without a fight. Only Elysia and her grandmother left. With the remnants of her magic, Elysia's grandmother then fled to the deepest part of the village. With all the magic still left, the grandmother then sealed back a small part of the ravaged village. Thus, the ruins of the temple of Valornia were now turned into a hidden forest. Poor Elysia must be willing to live alone because it turns out that the grandmother also sacrificed her entire life to make a veil of seals that will protect Elysia as long as her grandson awaits the arrival of the child who had been predicted.
“Faelan, or should I just call Fae?” elysia said while combing Felan's hair.
“Fae, no problem” Faelan grimaced when her icky hair got stuck in a comb made of
rosewood wood.
Elysia combed Faelan from behind, “After eating, I'm sure now you're fresh. It's important because from now on you're going through tough days”
“So what magic will you teach me?”
“Don't be too hasty young man. We'll start from the basics. Physical exercise”
“What? Can't I use magic?”
“So, you want to destroy this village with your unconstrained magic? You should know, to save you from your badai that's all I got hurt”
Faelan looked at Elysia's arm which was tied with a white cloth. There are still blood spots that have not long since dried up. Faelan bowed in shame. “But, is this not too much?”
“What do you mean, Fae?”
“Isn't this a little embarrassing? We're taking a shower with lo”
“You think I'm going to hook up with a little kid like you?”
“It should be our age not too far” Faelan starts grumbling.
“Hah?!” Elysia was now staring directly at Faelan's face from above. “I'm hundreds of years older than you, know!”
“What?!” Faelan. It was like losing his hope. “So you're a granny?”
Yep!!
Elysia clenched Faelan's head strongly.
Faelan fell down.
“Basic impolite child! Just so you know, if the size of a human, now I am only 16 years old” Elysia was upset and then came out of the bathroom, leaving Faelan who was still half conscious, leaning against a round wooden tub tied to the treetops from the roots of the tree.

“Usually the elves will need 10 years of training to achieve a mature physique. But, since you are a blessed child, it should be able to go faster. Start from running around 100 kilos and push up 10,000 times” Elysia said with a cruel look.
“HAH?! You're not kidding, are you?” Faelan is completely inexhaustible.
“If you can't finish it in a day, you won't get a ration to eat for a month! If you understand, quickly do there!”
“Is Elysia still angry at what I said earlier, huh?”
“YOU SAID WHAT, FAE?”
“No!” Faelan immediately ran away, starting training more appropriately referred to as torture.
That's how Faelan is. Spent by such strenuous and excruciating physical exercise. Every time he would give up, his grudge always reminded him not to stop. He also has no home to return to. Neither Reg nor Elysia, they both only wanted the best for her. Only the form of love is different.
A few months have passed.
Elysia was standing watching, then with lips as beautiful as roses and a voice as gentle as cotton, she said "Physical training will strengthen your body, Fae, and allow you to better control the power of the dragon relic"
Elysia guided Faelan through a series of intense martial and sword-like exercises. They practice Stance or basic horses, Thrust or puncture, Slash or incision, Parry or defense, Lunge or forward movement with one leg to reach the opponent, or, Feint or false moves to outwit an opponent, Retreat or backward movement to keep distance, Counterattack or counterattack, Circle Parry or rotating defense, or counterattack, and Spin Attack or twisting movements of body and sword to make an attack
It did not take long, Faelan mastered everything in a short time.
Elysia was astonished.
Is this kid really just an ordinary villager? Although he was someone who was endowed, but his level of mastery was beyond reason. He looks more like a swordsman who is experiencing amnesia. It was as if I had taught him nothing but to only awaken his memories of the sword he had long mastered.
“Hahaha. How's Elysia? Am I not really talented?”
Elysia flinched from her daydream. “Don't be too arrogant. It was a dangerous thing on the actual battlefield. Now let's see if you can still be arrogant or not”
Elysia walked away from Faelan.
Faelan looked confused.
“What are you waiting for? Quickly follow me!” Elysia.
Faelan looked excited. He walked while shaking his sword slashing the wind.

Faelan was standing by the calm lake within the forest, and Elysia was standing behind a few meters away. Sunlight shines on the clear surface of the water, creating beautiful and captivating reflections of light. The peaceful atmosphere was suddenly cut off by a slipping sound that emerged from within the water.
"There's something in the water!"Pekik Faelan's.
“I know” said Elysia, “that's why we came here” Elysia and then cast a magic towards the lake.
The lake suddenly turned cloudy and choppy.
"Fae, this is a good opportunity to prove your arrogance. It was a collection of Slime who had been possessed by evil forces. They have long polluted this lake. They are good opponents for you. Remember, avoid their attacks carefully!"
Faelan smiled. He then grasped the wooden sword that Elysia had given him.
Dozens of Slime suddenly emerged from the water, each with a different color and looks chewy and sticky. They shot towards Faelan very quickly.
The fight started quickly. Faelan moved nimbly, dodging Slime's sticky attacks that continuously tried to creep on him. One of the green Slime threw himself towards Faelan, creating a disgusting slime rustling sound.
Faelan meticulously dodged the attack, and with his wooden sword, he slashed the green slime.
The green slime broke apart and exploded like a water-filled balloon explosion.
Feeling faced with an easy opponent, Faelan then attacked each Slime one by one.
Although the Slime was a relatively weak creature, but facing such a multitude of enemies required great calm. As the fight progressed, Faelan's every move and attack became more skillful and efficient.
During the fight, tension and adrenaline flow through Faelan's body. He sensed how this fight helped him develop his physique and sword skills.
A few moments later, this fight was over. Faelan threw his tired body on the cool green grass. He had managed to defeat all the Slime who attacked him. The lake that had been rumbling back to peace.
Elysia gave a proud smile as a form of appreciation for her efforts.
Faelan smiled back and raised his wooden sword up high. He then shouted loudly, “Look at Elysia! I told you, I'm talented. Every nerve and muscle like I've long been used to sword”
“This!” Elysia threw a white sword, “This time use a real sword, the real fight will start” soon
Faelan quickly caught him.
“Wake, Fae. We don't have time to relax”
“Where are we now?”
“Inner forest. There's a bunch of goblins you have to beat!”
