Book 6, Chapter 10 – The Past and the Future
Moonlight penetrates the shi+ht over Greenland
In thewoain she practices swinging her exorcist rod, full of speed and power Each strike whistles through the air and expels gusts of wind
A dozen practice duet was riddled with holes and on its last legs
She h water Sweat caused her clothing to stick to her and dripped fro to her face Yet still she pressed on with a fervent light in her eyes Driven
Azura was only barely ten years old and already she was surprisingly strong She was capable of besting some of the best of the Talons already on her own!
Headmistress Claudia said that if she kept up this pace, in two years even she roas nothing short of spectacular It'd earned her a nickname: Greenland's Star
Azura was the h, tenacious and smart From her tiny body poured a treth Hers was truly a hty spirit She was the future of Greenland, a representation of the bright future they could expect
But Azura wasn't satisfied She wasn't good enough yet She wasn't anywhere near strong enough
She continued to practice with her exorcist rod until a deep weariness swept over her Pain and weakness crept through every inch of her, so intense she nearly fainted But her will refused to co subsided She grunted, and was fine
She struck out with her rod once again
She felt as though by forcing back the discomfort she'd accessed a deeper poithin herself It was released with her strike as a torrent of wind The practice dummy in front of her was ripped to pieces
She stood there panting heavily Today she'd had a breakthrough It was a good feeling, to overcoes helped her on her path of accoh – not even close If she was going to be like her master then she had a lot more work to do
Cloudhaas no typical person, of course His history, talent, encounters… hell, nothing in his life could ever be e up to where he was seeive up when sohts were firm and confident
Nothing in this world was impossible Noas one did their best they could command incredible power!
“Hey, Blue!”
“We thought you ht be here”
“Why are you still training? You need rest”
Azura stopped and turned to the group of children walking across the training field They were her classmates in the demonhunter academy
Even at a young age Azura had a leader's personality and charm Not only was she talented, but also reliable and mature She ell liked by everyone she knew When they approached she stopped flailing around and slipped the rod back into her waistband
“What are you doing here? Come to train?”
“Forget it, sister We aren't interested in getting beat up”
“Leader Cloudhawk brought a lot of good stuff for the Institute We're all going to take a look, come with us!”
What? Master had co else and ith the on
She was one of several thousand Institute students who heard the news They all gathered in the eround
All the children here came to learn different disciplines In the future they would be the leaders, using this knowledge to propel hu Without a doubt, they were all the hope for the wasteland's future Gatherings of the whole student body like this were rare, so it was to be so important
“Leader Cloudhawk!”
“It's the leader of the Green Alliance!”
Cloudhawk, Headmistress Claudia and several instructors appeared before the students
When he revealed himself there was a chorus of excited calls The eyes of the students were bright with admiration and fanaticisend He was a God of the wastelands!
Without Cloudhawk there would be no Greenland There would be no Green Alliance Without Cloudhawk, these children didn't knohere they would be or even if they would still be alive Without their great leader, the wastelands would still be a place of darkness
Cloudhaas bringing the light of rebirth to this barren place He was Greenland's greatest protector and an icon to every h, brutal, violent and sonized Cloudhawk's superiority
