Training in a forest cave

" I think the only way to help ease the nightmares I occasionally have will be to take my mother on and win."

Cedric would nod and say, "I see...but I assume it won't be an easy task. Other than your corrupted mother, there are still others who followed her and would do anything to try and stop you. We can provide our assistance along with Arasimya's."

" I know it will be except I have one advantage she wants me captured alive where I don't want to capture them alive."

"Can you elaborate on that," asked Cedric for better clarification.

" She probably still desires to use me to attract other females to some how bind them to serve her wishes, but I want to just kill her and my sisters to end the main cause of my nightmares from her gladiatorial games even if I die in the process."

Arasinya offered, "You can handle your mother, Xerxan, and I can handle the sisters. Besides, they did say they wanted me."

"I owe then at least 50 years worth of pain when they used that law to turn me into their personal punching bag when I couldn't fight back against them." " The only way they could even catch up to me skill wise is if they magically augmented their skills which even then I would be expecting that."

"I can help with that too, Xerxan. I have a good knowledge on politics."

" I don't want to risk anyone else in the process of taking them out."

"We're all for you, Xerxan," said Cyra. "We're willing to risk our lives for you right now. We won't stop until your mother is stopped."
