*knock*
Loud banging echoed throughout the room and abruptly woke both Caesar and Ahri up. The afternoon sun rays seeped into the room, giving off a very soothing atmosphere.
Caesar ripped the covers off of his body and walked to the door, he was shirtless with a pair of loose black pants, his morning hair was scattered over his shoulders resulting in him having a very seductive 'bad boy' look.
*creak*
Caesar opened the door, still half asleep, and peered down at the short lass that was enthusiastically knocking on the door.
His sleepy eyes, combined with his perfect abdominal muscles may have been too much stimulation for the poor girl, as she just looked at Caesar with a blank look for a few seconds.
"Do you need something?" Caesar couldn't help but ask quietly.
"Ahem, right, it's time for the empresses bath" the young maid cleared her throat and explained shyly.
"I see," Caesar said with understanding while scratching his hair and yawning loudly, he turned back from the door and headed to the bathroom to splash some water on his face.
Ahri, who was awoken at the same time as Caesar, was already preparing to head out, it was clear that she had already known why the maid was knocking on her door.
"Okay, I'm leaving, I'll see you tonight" Ahri shouted excitedly before leaving the room.
Caesar, who was now in the bathroom splashed some water on his face and shook his head with a wry smile after hearing Ahri's excitement.
He lazily brushed his hair and put on a black overcoat with tight black jeans, he looked into the mirror and could see his lazily brushed hair resting on his shoulders combined with his casual clothes… he gave off a very different atmosphere than his normally sophisticated look.
Caesar just sighed and walked out of the room, he didn't feel like dressing nicely just because he was going to meet Musashi. He traveled through the long corridors and walked past the many guards until he finally reached the core of the mansion.
Caesar approached the large double doors and nodded towards the two guards protecting it, once the guards noticed Caesar, they bowed respectfully and opened the doors, allowing passage.
Caesar nodded thankfully and walked through the doors, he then passed the long hallway and reached the elegant looking door, that he had seen the last time he came here.
*knock*
Caesar gently knocked on the door and patiently waited. He could hear rushed footsteps from the other side of the door until finally, the door opened.
Musashi appeared in the doorway with a simple, darkish green kimono, he had a wide smile on his face and welcomed Caesar inside.
"Come in, come in," he said while gesturing to his room…
Caesar walked past Musashi while glancing at him curiously, "what did you want to talk about?" he asked.
*slam*
Musashi closed the door and walked towards his bed to sit down, seeing this, Caesar pulled the chair from a nearby desk and sat down in front of him.
An awkward silence ensued for a few moments before Musashi coughed and grabbed Caesar's attention.
"Look, as you probably already know, I don't have much longer to live… My son, Ahri's father, was my pride and joy, alas, he was abruptly taken from me" Musashi opened up with an extremely serious face, vastly different from his normal, carefree smile.
"My granddaughter happened to inherit the nine-tailed fox bloodline, a rare and ancient race that could even rival the vampires, however, because of this, she will face many, many, roadblocks as she walks through life. As my only remaining family, I would love to be there and help her along the way… but, fate has different plans for me" Musashi explained in a depressed tone.
Caesar's piercing red eyes flashed, he could see many weaknesses within Musashi's body, more so, around his heart. "Why are you discussing this with me and not Ahri?" Caesar asked.
"Sigh, it's not as though I don't want to, I'm fearful of her reaction…" Musashi replied, downcast.
"Ahri isn't as weak as you think, the longer you keep this from her, the more hurt she will be… but that's just my opinion; this can't be the only reason you asked me to come here, right?" Caesar spoke while deep in thought.
"Haha, I just wanted to vent out what was hidden in my heart, and you are correct, this is not the main reason why I asked you here… I initially asked you to come here because I wanted to train you in mana manipulation, after watching your last battle, I realized that your ice magic is unbelievably powerful, more condensed, cold, and solid than any other Ice magic I've ever seen. But, because of your crude manipulation methods, it is unrefined and weak" Musashi explained and took a tobacco pipe from god knows where.
Caesar rested his chin in the palms of his hand, and held a contemplative expression, "I had thought that each affinity had a different method of control?" Caesar asked curiously.
"Well, that's true, however, I can still teach you how to control your element… just because we have different affinities doesn't essentially mean my experience wouldn't benefit you"
Caesar stood up from his chair, "very well, I will not decline any sort of method to gain strength, let's get started" Caesar said straightforwardly.
Musashi stood up and rested his hands on Caesar's back, "I will help direct your mana, this is the only thing I am capable of doing... if you had used the weapon that your ancestors used, I could perhaps help you a bit more" Musashi whispered regretfully, just barely enough for Caesar to hear.
"The weapon my ancestors used?" Caesar asked bewildered
"A very long staff like weapon, that has a sharp curve, it's sometimes used to reap fields, however, once the four progenitors used it, it became known as a cursed weapon of death and is forbidden to be crafted"
Caesar's eyes squinted and he took a weapon out of his storage, it was the scythe he had found in the dwarven treasury room.
"Is this the weapon you're talking about?" Caesar asked whilst tilting his head.
Musashi's eyes nearly popped out of their socket once he saw what Caesar brought out, "w-w-where did you find this" he asked
"In a mountain" Caesar replied curtly
