As the first rays of the sun peeked the horizon, the stillness of the early morning was interrupted by the sweet melodies of the birds.
On the training grounds, a young girl, no more than one and twenty, stood with her sword in hand, her eyes fixed on the man standing opposite her. He was her mentor, trainer, her guru.
Under his guidance, she had sharpened her skills and mastered the art of sword fighting.
The man took a step forward, his sword glinting in the early morning light, and launched an attack towards her.
She deftly countered it, her movements Swift and precise.
Her eyes were focused, her mind alert. She has learned to anticipate his moves and respond with the lightening-fast reflexes. The sound of the clashing swords echoed through the training grounds, and the two engaged in a fierce battle.
As they fought her best friend, Samudran, watched from a distance, his eyes following the movement of the fighters with keen interest.
He knew how hard his friend had worked to reach this level of a skill, and he was proud of her.
He has seen her go from a novice to a master of the sword, and he knew that she had what it takes to become one of the greatest fighters of all time.
