Toshiro Hitirra was much stronger than he knew. He felt that when his parents left him his world was over. Indeed it might have been if not for his teacher Tharagoad. Tharagoad wasted no time. On his second day there the boy was thrown in to the ways of Battle. Tharagoad came up behind the boy, subdued him and blindfolded him. Toshiro was terriefied. He lay on the back of a horse weeping not knowing were he was being taken. When the blind fold was removed the boy saw that he was in the woods. His teacher untied him and threw him from the steed. Toshiro was so confused at why this was happening. He threw a wooden sword next to the boy. It was in the shape of a paladins sword. Tharagoad pulled another wooden sword from the cart and said" Well lets see what you got". Toshiro wouldnt pick up the sword, he just stayed there trying to talk. "Ok, ill attack" tharagoad said, and he charged the boy. Toshiro in a panick grabed the sword, leapt to his feet and jumped out of Tharagoads way."You have your father's reflexes but youll need more that that to win this battle". He charged the boy again, and although you tried to dodge him, Tharagoads Sword caught him right on the knee. The boy cried out in pain. "That will leave a mark", Tharagoad chuckled. The boy now enraged, and blind with fury picked up his sword and ran at Tharagoad. Tharagoad easily side steped him and struck him again. Toshiro went for another charge this time he acted like he was going for his arm and droped at the last second. Tharagoad saw it coming but the boys wooden sword grazed his pants just a little. "Ah, now your getting it, well Im off now, make it back to the city alive, and I will really teach you how to use that weapon". The boy was to tired to cry. He laid on the ground exausted. Tharagoad got back on to his horse, and threw off a short sword and a sack. "There's enough food in there for a couple of days, I think it should take you about two weeks to get back, so I wouldnt eat it all just yet" and with that Tharagoad hit his horse shot off into the woods. Toshiro finally felt the tears come to him again. He laid on the ground, beaten and weeping. He soon drifted to sleep. He dreamt of his mother and father. In his dream his father said " Toshiro, I wish I could have protected you your whole life son, but you are a Warrior born, I know it may not seem like I love you, but you will never know just how much I care". "Be strong my son". Toshiro awoke the next morning, ate half of a biscet that was in the sack, pick up the sword and set off on the tracks of Tharagoad's horse.
