#Zo'tall has become somewhat of a student to Cyrus

[neoma-eltanin]

Prompt #14 - Commend

“Use your feet.”

Watchful eyes studied the young pupil, making sure he used all of his body for each strike in the air. Cyrus had never trained someone like this before… At least not someone this young. But Zo’tall’s young age was probably beneficial; the earlier you started, the better you were bount to get. One day he might become a very skilled sword fighter… If he wanted to keep it up, of course.

The child swung the wooden stick in the air, over and over, like he was hitting something which wasn’t there. His stubbornness was commendable, and Cyrus felt a strange pride watching him. Admittedly, he had begun to view Zo’tall like his own more and more the past moons.

A gentle smile crept onto his lips as he nodded approvingly.

“Good, Zo’tall. Imagine your whole body is linked to the sword.”

“Okay!” said the child eagerly, seeming very pleased by his teacher’s approving words. One day, he hoped to be just as strong of a samurai as him. One day.
