Welcome to Gaia! ::

a chapter from a story im writing that is based on my avitar

Luce stood with his feet sinking into the sand “Time for the second part of your training Carcharus”.
Carcharus squinted in the bright sun. Though it had taken nearly a year he could finally stand in the light of the day.

Luce drew his sword “walking in the day means nothing unless you can fight in the day. Prepare yourself for there are three ways that this can end”.

Fiore stood off to the side watching with great anticipation and anxiety. She prepared herself to witness the first of many duels between her loving father and the vampire who had stolen her heart.

Carcharus took his stance and drew his katana from its sheath. The light and heat blaring from above were already draining his strength. Never before did his blade feel so weighted. Despite his condition Carcharus’s drive and the ferocity in his crimson eyes never once swayed.

Luce smiled seeing the determination of his pupil. “As I said boy, this will end one of three ways. The first is that you defeat me, in which case your training will be complete. The second is you lose. Should you lose, which I guarantee you will, we will wait until both your strength and injuries you may sustain have recovered. At which point, we will begin again. We will continue to do this until you can defeat me. The final possible outcome is you prove to be far too weak. Meaning, that the sun and your own wounds ultimately kill you”.

Though Carcharus said nothing his flesh was already starting to ache and burn.

“Now remember Carcharus, you must fight to kill. Hold back and it is you who will die”.

Carcharus’s vision was beginning to blur as he dug his feet into the sand and prepared himself for Luce’s first attack. He barely had any time to get ready though for Luce’s assault came swiftly and without warning and before Carcharus knew it Luce’s Blade was mere inches from his face. Shark quickly jumped back to avoid the strike. However he was to slow and the edge of the sword sliced open his cheek. Carcharus flew backwards his blood splattering in Luce’s face as he did. As his feet touched the ground once again he nearly lost his footing.

Carcharus tightly gripped the hilt of his katana and lunged at his mentor thrusting the blade toward his heart. Unfortunately the rays of the sun had slowed him down considerably. Luce easily dodged the attack. As he did he grabbed Carcharus’s right wrist.

“You’re far too sluggish my boy. You will never beat me like this”. Before Carcharus could respond Luce’s wrist came down slamming the inside of his students elbow. At the same time Luce’s Knee shot upwards colliding with the center of the young Vampire’s forearm.

Fiore Gasped and covered her eyes as a loud snap and screams of anguish filled her ears. Carcharus’s right hand fell limp and hi sword dropped to the sand.

Luce released sharks arm “Let’s call it quits for today. He turned and began to walk towards his daughter “we’ll start again once that arm of yours is healed.”

Carcharus tried to with all his strength to mend the bone in his right arm but to no avail. “Damn it why can’t I regenerate it why can’t I heal my arm”. He dropped to his knees and punched the earth with his left fist.

“Though you have the ability to walk in the day you can not use your powers. Your vampiric strength, speed, and healing abilities, all are useless. In your current state you’re no more powerful than a mortal” Luce called to his daughter “Fiore help him to his…”

“No” Carcharus Shouted interrupting his mentors statement, his voice full of aggression.

Luce faced his student and watched with interest as Carcharus struggled to his feet. Carcharus reached down and grabbed his sword with his left hand while his right hung limp.

“You listen to me Luce. You said it yourself. This fight will only end when I win, lose or die. Well, as long I can stand on my own feet I have not yet lost. This fight isn’t over!”

Luce was both shocked and pleased by the words of his student. He took his battle stance one more time. “You know what boy? With that attitude you just may survive.”

The pain in Carcharus’s arm was unbearable, his face bled profusely and his flesh felt like it was being burned from the bone. The vampire’s senses were dulled and the mere act of standing had become a challenge. Despite all this he refused to back down and was determined to stand his ground.

Like a predator Luce began to circle Carcharus. He focused on his student with the eyes of a lion.

Carcharus and Luce both knew, this battle would be over with the next attack. Once again Luce’s attack came with lightning speed. The blade of his sword aligned perfectly with the small of his student’s back. Shark managed to gather enough strength to swiftly turn and to divert the oncoming attack. But this action left him completely open for a devastating blow that Luce Delivered to his stomach. Blood sprayed from Carcharus’s mouth as Luce’s Knuckles dug into his flesh. Everything began to spin and in only seconds, Carcharus completely blacked out.
