Snowy mountain area, Japan
6 years have passed since Eikichi has come into my life. All I can say about the child is he's unique. Incredibly so.
At the age of 1 he was already able to understand and talk full sentences and at two he was reading and writing In three different languages.
At age 3 he was reading about all kinds of things on the internet. Music, writing, painting. He was able to master things at an incredibly quick pace.
At 4 years old he was phisacly stronger than many knighted blazers. And his magical power was already thirty times that of the average blazer.
At first, when I saw the child's magical energy increase I thought it was my old age. But After a while, I realized this child was never chained by the world. He was already a Desperado the moment he was born. Well, I should have gotten to that conclusion the moment the fox said it was a demon.
And at age 5 he was concentrating on his knew hobby woodworking. He had struggled at first but with the right tools, he started sculpting like a master just 7 months in. He worked on a few jaded and ice sculptures which he sold for quite the sum of money.
He even did some works for the union and league of mage - knight nations. Tho very few people knew of the existence of Eikichi. Those who did know knew he was a genius.
And tho had low magical powers, was gifted with supernatural strength and a genius in the art, music, calligraphy. Even opening up his own businesses. Of course, because he was too young they were all under my name.
Opening the door the old man walked to the back of the house where he saw his grandson working an imperial green jade bracelet. Looking around there were many sculptures ones even towering 20 ft tall. But the ones that were most impressive were the ones at the far back. One is a 15 ft jade sculpture of 2 Chinese dragons facing each other. Another being of a 20 Ft silver fire Phoenix. And the last one being a sculpted of a 10ft tall angel with 2 wings liking down with a gentle motherly look.
Seeing his grandson distracted he decided to play a little game with him. One he's been doing for over a year. Without saying anything he whispered " Kusanagi" and with a quick flash he was already above Eikichi ready to slash the boys head off but before it could reach a large cross-shaped shield materialised and deflected the strick. Just as fast as the old man had moved the child reacted just as fast.
Eikichi" HEY, What's the big deal Jiji. You almost made me mess up my new piece. It's your fault if 700,000,000 million yen goes down the drain just like that."
Old man abe" Haha, just making sure you haven't slowed down and lowerd your Gaurd.
Eikichi" Che, annoying old man." He grumbled but he knew his Jiji only did so to teach him a lesson. Never let down your guard Anywhere. Always be quick to react to anything. A split moment could be the decision on whether you live or die.
Old man abe" I heard that. Oh I almost forgot to tell you this but a friend of mine is coming over with his apprentice for some medicine, so suppress your magic to that of an average blazer. You'll be able to trick him when it comes to that be he'll clearly see through your strength."
Eikichi" Yeye, I get it now sho, I need to concentrate. I'm almost finished with the braclet."
Mountain path
On the path towards fumios house two silowets could be seen walking up. One old man similar in age to old man abe. Wearing minimal clothing. Only a blue yukata. And a girl with long flowing silver hair with similar coloured eyes. Skin as white as the snowy background and much to filled out body for someone as young as her.
The man was Ryouma Kurogane. Ryouma Kurogane was renown as Samurai Ryouma and the Great Hero is a Legendary Blazer who led Japan to victory in World War II.
Besides him was his 16-year-old apprentice who he had been teaching for 3 years now. Edelweiss lived a normal life as a child with her parents that loved to make sweets. Because of that she become abit overweight in the process.
Her parents soon left her under the care of a Japanese swordsman who had lived nearby where she could get some exercise but had proved to have a remarkable talent in swordsmanship. Ever since then she has been by his side learning as much as possible from one of the greats.
It took them 10 more minutes before they were greeted by a wooden mansion On top of the mountain.
Edelweiss" Master why are we here again." She asked not knowing why her master asked her to come with him.
Ryouma " I need some medicine for a friend of mine plus I'm looking to by a gift for my grandsons birthday. I also wanted to meet abes adopted grandson. Heard some things about him being a genius In the arts."
As they walk closer to the mansion the door of the house opens and a man similar age to Ryouma comes out. They both smile and come in to embrace each other.
Abe" Hahaha, how long has it been since visiting this old man, 10 years." Abe said happy to see his old war friend.
Ryouma" Haha, yes that's about right. Oh sorry, let me introduce you to my apprentice I've been training."
Edelweiss" It's a pleasure to meet a friend of masters."
Abe looked at the girl up and down and smiled.' Definitely talented, dare say she will probably surpass us in a couple of years. And become the second strongest of this generation.' Why second. Because nothing is going to beat that little demon of mine.
Abe" Come in, come in, I made us some tea, while we can have a nice chat." They did so and Ryouma and him both started chatting about day to day life and the good old days.
Edelweiss was just standing behind her master until she was told she could go to the back yard where she can meet her teacher's friend grandson. She agreed and followed the instructions abe gave her. It only took 5 minutes to reach her destination but once she did she was mesmerized.
It wasn't just because of the scenery but more of the sculpture that seemed to resonate with her. She walked past all the life-like dragons, kirins, and other legendary creatures and walked straight up to the centrepiece of everything. The motherly angel with two wings as if looking down on humanity with sadness yet kindness.
She was so distracted she never noticed the figure stepping up behind her. Well even if she was on full alertness she would never be able to feel him.
Eikichi was staring at the woman in front of him. He could only describe her as beautiful. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. From her face to her very soul.
Eikichi" She's beautiful isn't she."
Edelweiss" Mh, she is." It took a moment to process that someone had snuck up behind her. In a flash of a second, she had already summed her device Tesutamento, which takes on a form as a pair of pure white wing-like swords.
She looks around but fells nothing. There was no one in a mile radius of her except for her master and Mr abe.
In the living room, the two men were still speaking joyfuly until Eikichi walked in and did a seize in front of Ryouma.
EIKICHI" PLEASE LET ME MARRY YOUR DAUGHTER."
Both men spat out there tea. Abe was looking at his grandson as if he was mad. While Ryouma was laughing his ass off.
Ryouma" Hahahaha, when you said he was forward with everything he does you weret kidding, Haha. So you've taken an interest in my apprentice young Eikichi."
Eikichi" Yes sir I have. The moment I laid my eyes on her I knew she was the one."
Ryouma just looked at the child straight in the eyes. There was silence for a good 30 seconds before the old man started smiling. Eikichi didn't know what that smile meant but abe did.
Abe' Sigh, good luck on your conquest of love my grandson. Because you're in for one heck of a journey.'
