How long will I do this?
"Thwang!""Thwang!""Thwang!"
Two in both eyes, another in the heart,
Seph's accuracy has been improving exponentially since that dream.
Seeing his mother again, without the blood red gore that usually covers her body eases his mind completely.
The nightmares were gone, in fact, he has been quite cheerful these past few days, even Velvet was surprised.
Maybe that was helping him concentrate betterr, or was it Lyrica comforting him after that?
------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Seph? What's wrong? I heard you crying"
"Oh, what? Nothing" said Seph, as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Come on. You can tell me. After all I did tell you about my mother didn't I? Return the favour why don't you?"
Seph, feeling guilty said "I saw my mother"
"What? Where? Was she here? Wait, she's not here anymore right?"
"Yes, she's not here anymore. I saw her in my dream, a rather realistic one at that"
"In a dream? Wait, did you just had a dream talk with a dead person?"
"Dream talk? What's that?
"It's where you are lucid in your dreams and the surroundings feels almost real and you can commune with the other person without them having to be there with you"
"Wow, you sure do know a lot of these, did you have one before?"
"Sure, I had it lots of times, with Hexes. Wait, why are we talking about me? Come on, continue Seph"
"Well, it goes like this..."
------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, either way, he felt unstoppable every single day after that.
Practicing day after day after day. Perfecting his arts.
"Hmm...Let's try Words now"
Ever since hearing about this mysterious usage of "Words" to endow unimaginable power to arrows from Lyrica, Seph has been trying every single word in his vocabulary to try to even master one.
But, none had succeeded and that drives him all the more to try more and more new words.
"Let's see, today, we'll try "Split" okay?"
"Split!" A feeling of calm blanketed Seph in an instant and
"Thwang!"
He fired, after about 2 seconds, the arrow split into five and zoomed into the dummy
All of them missed.
Startled, he went and inspected the arrows he just fired.
The arrows were not completely circles, they were 1/5th of a circle, to be exact.
"Oookay, so "Split" is a "Word". Yes!"
"Alright. Time to sharpen my accuracy with this. Riiiight after I take a short break"
Delighted at his newfound power, and a friend he knew he could trust, he headed home to one of Velvet's famous cinnamon rolls
