3 Creed of the Sun Warriors (1/2)
Chapter 3: Creed of the Sun Warriors.
---
”Dad…” Raven shook his father's shoulders, ”Wake up!”
He raised his voice a bit and his father's body shook for a moment. He wore a confused expression as he stared at his son. Raven told him that he fell asleep while he was wiping his sweat. His father laughed and stood up, he wiped a non-existent sweat on his forehead as he thought:
'Crap! How can this be! Is this the rumored Signs of Aging? I'm not even forty yet!'
Raven laughed mischievously in his head, the two then placed the incident behind their backs and talked about random stuff when his mother's voice echoed inside the house.
”Boys, food's ready!”
Raven playfully climbed at his father's back and they both entered the house merrily. His mother shook her head while listening to their antics, she served them food and the family shared a healthy meal.
Raven felt immensely blessed at this moment. He never felt this kind of emotion even when he found a secret inheritance, broke through the next realm of his cultivation and so on. This simple bliss can't be traded with any kind of treasure in this world.
Their day went along smoothly, after eating dinner, Raven helped his mother with the dishes and went to his room. The reunion with his parents turned out great but he had other priorities as well. He sat on top of his bed and regulated his breathing. Once he entered his the meditative state, he roused his body and performed a thorough scan of his body.
”Hahh…” Raven breathed out a mouthful of foul air. ”My body is very weak and the foundation is okay. I can't really blame my old self for cultivating according to what was taught to us, but that raised a point that the Kingdom really is in danger if this continues...”
”My body is not in thorough danger, although some of my body parts received some hidden injuries, I can heal that with some simple medicinal baths.”
After his scan, he found out that there were some traces of blood clots on some parts of his body, there also some residues of bruises on his left shoulder, lower back, inner thigh and right leg. This is due to uneven absorption of Qi and losing concentration during cultivation. Thankfully, he could just heal then through. Unfortunately, his body still can't contain Qi, if so then this would've been easier to heal.
He didn't complain too much though, he massaged the bruises that he could reach, he also did the same towards some areas where the blood clots are, this will allow them to loosen up until he could find the real cure. His mind wandered for a bit before he fell asleep.

Raven woke early, energized and refreshed. It's been a long while since he slept like a log. His body might be young but it didn't contain too much of that youthful vigor as he easily felt tired. He shook off the distracting thought in his mind and walked outside of his room to eat breakfast.
His parents told him that they are going out a bit to resupply, this will leave him alone for quite sometime. He told them that he will be fine and will just play on top of the hill. The two nodded and left the house shortly after.
”Okay, time for a bit of treasure hunt.” Raven grinned and took one of his father's wooden sword and left home. He also took some stuff that he's gonna need and placed it on a small pouch that he carried over his bag. He had a bit of time before they come back home so he wasn't on a rush.
He traced the hill according to his memories and found the spot that he was looking for. He kneeled onto the ground and used his petite hands to clean of a certain piece of soil beneath him.
