The Tales of Anon: part seven
#7 of The Tales of Anon
Six years past and I mastered the sword, I continued to train with Jon and I continuously became exponentially better.
"Watch your form." Jon shouted.
"The same to you." I said practicing on a heavy bag.
Jon and me stop and walk to center field.
"You ready to go?" Jon asked me.
"You bet." I quickly replied. "I wonder how he will start this time." I thought, waiting for Jon to make his move.
Jon stiffened and that is when I realized that I should have made the first move,
Jon leapt forward fast like a pikachu and ferocious like a tauros remaining nimble like a mienfoo.
I jumped to the side narrowly escaping his attempted tackle and turned around just to duck a roundhouse kick and jump back. He was like nothing I had seen so far, almost as if all this time he was holding back, then it dawn on me that he really had been. I became infuriated and charged in starting a barrage of jabs and kicks my self, trading off with him sometimes forcing him back sometimes retreating. Jon had me working to the fullest reading him and reacting. I was being pushed farther and farther back slowly, it was only a matter of time before he had me cornered. Then it happened, everything slowed down around me and everything but Jon faded into an indistinct blur. I finally saw the opening I had been waiting for and began forcing him back, much faster than he had me until we reached mid field again. I flipped over him and with an unfamiliar energy flowing through my hand palmed him in the kidney.
"Oh sweet gods above, what did you just do. I submit, you win." Jon said holding his back where I hit it.
"I am not sure, I just open palmed your back. All I can remember is flipping over you then feeling a strange energy coursing through my arm and hand as I palmed your back." I said not believing what just happened.
"I believe you just accessed the aura for the first time, that means soon you will be a lucario and I will no longer be able to train with you like this." Jon said wincing as he stood up straight. "You should let the Valomars know when you get back today."
"Aura? What do you mean aura, I have never heard of this before?" I asked extremely confused.
"Aura, the life force of all living things and only four species can access it. The first I will name is the legendary mew, an all knowing creature of pink, then there is mew two a accident created by man which brings me to the third species. Every few millennia one human is endowed with the gift of being able to access the aura just as well as the next species and becomes an aura guardian even though they are long gone from Krytongue, then there are your kind which do not have access to the aura until you are close to evolving into the very embodiment of aura, the species known as lucario." Jon said to me.
"Ok I will reflect on that, in the mean time goodbye and good day." I said leaving the training grounds just in time for Mrs. Valomar to pull up with Jane.
"Hey guys, is it already time?" I asked for in training with Jon that day I lost track of time.
"Yes dear, it is amazing how fast time flies sometimes isn't it." Mrs. Valomar said as I got in the car.
Mrs. Valomar started driving home while she and Jane talked with me.
"So what was training like today Anon?" Jane asked seeing that I was a bit puzzled at the moment.
"It went well, but also it was strange. Jon was fighting much harder today and near the end of the sparing everything seemed to slow down and I jumped over Jon landing facing him and palmed him in the back, but a strange energy was coursing through my arm and hand when it happened. Jon said he thinks I just accessed the aura for the first time which I don't fully understand what aura is."
"EEEEEEK" Mrs. Valomar squealed. "Anon do you know what this means, tonight we are going to celebrate in honor of your first time using the aura. I will set preparations for this evening and we will all go out tonight to celebrate."
"Anon this is great, do you have any idea how important what you accomplished is?" Jane asked me hugging me fiercely.
"No, what makes it so special?" I asked more curious than ever before.
"It means you are going to evolve soon, imagine what Jack will think then." Jane said seriously hyped up.
And so the remainder of the drive was spent with me answering questions from Jane and Mrs. Valomar until we arrived back at the house.
"HONEY, WE'RE HOME, HURRY DOWN! WE HAVE IMPORTANT NEWS!" Mrs. Valomar shouted as we all entered to house.
Mr. Valomar comes sprinting out of the hallway, barely staying upright as he stops in front of the three of us.
"What's the news?" He gasped.
"Hun, Anon used the aura!" Mrs. Valomar squealed.
"WHAT!" Mr. Valomar shouted in deafening volume.
"While we were sparing today I used a move called force-palm according to Jon." I said.
"This is grounds for a celebration!" Mr. Valomar said barely containing himself.
"I'm already making preparations. We are going to eat out tonight and after that we can do something else. Anon, what sounds like a good idea to you?" Mrs. Valomar said so fast I barely understood her.
"I'm not sure, I can't think of anything." I answered calmly.
"If you want Anon we can just come back to the house afterwards?" Mr. Valomar suggested.
"That's fine by me." I said, once again very calmly.
And so, to sum up the next rather uneventful piece of this part. We went out to eat, had a good time then came back to the house.
"Anon, it's time I gave you something." Mr. Valomar said in a tone of remembrance.
"Hun, are you sure about that?" Mrs. Valomar said in a tone of warning. "You are talking about a very dangerous thing."
"Fifteen years ago his father..." Mr. Valomar got out before I blurted out.
"You knew my father! What happened to him?"
"Yes we both knew your father, we were close friends of your mothers when they met. I don't know what happened to him." he said calmly. "As I was saying, fifteen years ago his father left it for him and told me when he used force-palm for the first time that he would be ready. To answer your question the best I can Anon, he then left and no one has seen nose or tail of him since."
"Alright hun, if you are sure." Mrs. Valomar said in response.
Mr. Valomar then went to his and Mrs. Valomar's room and came back holding a small shoe-box.
"Open it Anon, but be careful with what is inside." Mr. Valomar said with great weight upon careful.
I open the box and inside lay two strange revolvers, both of an old body style but both solid black and covered with red glowing runes of a Celtic variety.
"These revolvers where your father's Anon, your father made them himself and no gunsmith alive can craft a single gun of any type that comes close to there legendary performance. He used to tell kids that asked about them that they where a gift from the gods, made of a metal so pure that only a chosen bloodline can use them. I have seen him destroy a building in one shot with one of these very pistols, there is a second part to each revolver however he told me to wait until another event before I give them to you as well.
And so ends, part seven. Until next time Sofurry.
