A few weeks later
The boy finally wakes up in a tent. He's confused, boy: "where am I?" He then sees a random girl beside him, boy: "WHO ARE YOOOOU?!" The rubs her eyes and yawns, Girl: "Finally awake, you were out for six weeks believe it or not." Boy: "that doesn't answer my question and why am I shirtless?!" Girls: "well I've been supplying your body with the necessary amount of nutrients via Aether transmission. I just didn't bother to dress you up again." Boy: "oh uhhh thanks. You mind sharing your name?" Girl: "well I'm Rhea, I use pure Aether and I'm a member of the solstice guild." Boy: "Solstice guild... Never heard of it." Rhea: "well it's one of the many factions in this world but we specialise in the most noble and calm Aether type, pure Aether." A bright blue flame appears in Rhea's palm as she demonstrates pure Aether. Rhea: "so, what's your name?" Boy: "I'm Kai Johan! The son of Dane Johan!" Rhea is awestruck, Rhea: "you are the child of the strongest world 5 member in history but you can't even use Aether?!" Kai: "well yeah..." She face palms, Rhea: "well, you aren't going to survive in a world like this without aether. That's we'll have to go to the solstice citadel which is across the continent, but until we arrive I'll train you." Kai: "Really? wow. You're really kind, Thanks!" Kai smiles brightly, Rhea: "I have spare blades you can use until you get your own. Their smaller than mine but they'll do for now." Kai: "Why are you being so kind to me, I am just a stranger after all." Rhea looks away, Rhea: "I don't know, just consider yourself lucky okay!" The two have a deer that Rhea had hunted earlier on for breakfast. They really enjoy eachother's company for the while. Kai puts on his outfit, it consists of a black shirt, black pants, white boots and his late father's tattered old cloak before tying up his hair. He and Rhea begin walking through the forest.
(Hours later) BOOM! They hear an explosion from a nearby town. Rhea and Kai glance at eachother before nodding. The two begin running towards the source of the sound and encounter a Hollow blade member, Rhea: "stay back these men are from the Zerath's Hollow blade association. Their extremely dangerous, in fact they're the ones who won the war of the fracture and killed your... Yeah." Kai unsheathes his two blades, Kai: "all the more reason to kill them all."
