Rhydian
Deep within the Thornvalle training grounds at the mansion, near the outskirts of the northern forest, the atmosphere was cold. Yet, my chest heaved as sweat drenched my body. I'd just finished a training session.
Father had sent for me, so immediately after school, I'd headed straight to the Thornvalle mansion.
I'd been sent a message immediately after I walked through the gates. Work till your bones grow weak.
And that was exactly what I did. I trained alone until my body grew exhausted. Once I was done, a maid handed me a bottle of water. I downed it whole in a second.
I couldn't question whatever my father told me to do. He held me in high esteem amongst my brothers, so disobeying him wasn't an option in my book.
