6 Chapter 6 (1/2)
Later that night, Lance's little brother Nathan walked into his room. Nathan was only six years old, but to him, Lance was his strong and untouchable big brother. Seeing his brother training hard for so many years, Nathan was in awe of him and wanted to also start training.
However, Lance's father had other goals for Nathan. Instead of spending his days training like Lance, Nathan was slowly being groomed in literature and business practices. As Lance's father saw it, if Lance could be the enforcer of the clan in the future, Nathan could control both the business and growth of the clan.
This was decided the moment that Lance approached his parents wanting to start training to become an expert. If he hadn't done this, Lance would have been in the shoes that Nathan was now in. His father understood though, that those with enough potential shouldn't split their focus, or the heights they could end up achieving would fall short.
If the two brothers were able to tag team in the future like this, the Sacred Ember clan would be able to prosper between their hard work. And so, although Nathan felt a little insecure with his father always comparing him to Lance, he still admired and wanted to fully support his big brother.

With their father being extremely busy during the day, and their mother supporting him, Lance and Nathan for the most part had to fend for themselves in between their studies. Since there were plenty of maids to assist them, their parents chose to concentrate more on their work for the clan.
Instead of driving the family apart, this allowed both Lance and Nathan over the years to become rather close and very supportive of one another. They were not just brothers, but they had an unbreakable bond with one another which would last a lifetime.
”Hey Nathan.” Lance said as Nathan entered his room. Lance was laying down on his bed and only looked over after hearing Nathan opening the door. Nathan may have been intelligent for his age, but he still didn't realize that Lance was crying all of this time.
”Big brother, you need to prove father wrong!” Nathan after closing the door behind him shouted out as he rushed over to hug Lance. Hearing this from his little brother warmed Lance's heart and even gave him a sense of passion which lifted his mood almost instantly.
”Don't worry, I don't plan on falling short tomorrow.” Lance replied as the two brothers talked about their day until it was time for Nathan to retire back to his room to sleep. With confidence now brewing inside of him, Lance fell asleep as he was ready to cause shock around all the spectators.
Even as he continued to sleep through the night, Lance as usual, dreamed of becoming a powerful expert who was peerless as both a warrior and a mystic. A smile bright and full of hope, was unable to remove itself from Lance's face as this child slept without waking up until morning.
