My father's words stayed with me throughout the night, it was not uncommon to go hunting a little before or after each season, but he had never told me to participate. I didn't know his reason behind his initiative to include me, but I had to be careful that he wouldn't see anything unusual.

To get those feelings of doubt out I started reading the notebook and after the reading of [The Soldier with Two Swords] I found a handwritten note between two sheets, it was Grandpa's handwriting and it read.

'To Oz, I am writing this message to give you some advice, if you already chose a fighting technique, don't try to use more, not that I don't want you to be strong, but it is better to have one sharp spear than a hundred blunt sticks.'

"You're still teaching the family heh?" I couldn't help but throw out a comment but it was because it reminded me of when I talked to him, he always said analogies with weapons or animals, a way of speaking from someone who had lived through it all.
 
I closed the notebook thinking about what that note said, I had not noticed it until that moment, but I managed to understand what it said, besides I had already made the decision to practice with two swords, of all the stories of battles in the notebook, the one that caught my attention from the beginning was that one. So I would have no problem without practicing another offensive technique, but I had to continue acquiring knowledge in other areas.

I put the notebook away and went to sleep, that night I dreamed again with the tower in the clearing, I was in the room of the other time, but it was empty and I could not move, I focused on analyzing the golem movements of the previous floor to prepare for what would follow. Around the room I was in, was the box I had opened, but from where I was standing I could see that it was empty. At that moment I felt a vibration in my hands and my vision went black and then I opened my dream eyes.

I woke up seeing a shadow behind me, when I turned my head I saw that it was Eve, she had a meat mallet in her hand and when she noticed that I saw her she hid it by throwing it across the hallway. I got up from my bed and checked what had happened, I had never felt that before, it was as if my body felt it had to wake up.

"You want to tell me what you were doing with a mallet in my room?"

"What mallet? You sure are still half asleep Oz."

"Whatever, just let me hurry up, I have to work twice as hard today."

"Yeah that's right, you have to get ready for the night too."

"So you already know eh?"

"Yeah, you're going with us on the hunt this year, it's the first time since you were a kid right?"

"I think we both know that."

"Don't worry too much, father just wants you to help out a little."

With that Eve left the room and I hurried to get ready. I had to hurry if I wanted to train at least a little that day, so I brought breakfast to eat in the workshop, before I left my father reminded me to ask Uncle Miles for a bow or crossbow to use in the evening.

Arriving at the workshop I was relaxed to see smoke coming out of the forge, I entered through the front and found the uncle on the floor with a metal pliers between his arms, his face was full of soot and he seemed to be passed out. I grabbed the pliers and dropped them on his head, but the only sound that came was the sound of the tool hitting the floor.

"Already awake Uncle Miles?"

"Don't think you can wake people up like that all the time Oz."

"Well, I'm not here to reproach you for your sleeping habits, but at least try to improve them a little."

"Don't say that to me if I hear from my brother that lately your sister has had to wake you up."

"Ah, about that I wanted to ask you something Uncle Miles. Is there a technique from the stories where you can sense danger?"

"What, I don't think I've read it but the thing about me is that I'm always vigilant, it's not like I feel the attacks, why do you ask?"

"Not much, it's just that today I felt something in my arms and woke up only to see my sister with a meat mallet in her hand."

"What did you feel?" was it like a physical sesation or something like an instinct?"

"I'm not sure uncle, that's why I'm asking you."

"Well I don't know what that is, that's two weird things with this one .... "

"Two?" His last comment seemed to have been meant for him alone but something made me uneasy about it.

"Don't worry, are you going to train again?"

"Yes, I can only do half a day, Father wants to include me in the hunt today."

"Oh, it's about that time then."

"Yeah, by the way I'll need a bow and a few arrows for the evening."

"I'll prepare a hunting pack for you while you train, you just concentrate on getting no injuries today."

"Sure, I don't want my body to have to consume another elixir equivalent to its weight in gold again."

"Don't worry about that, now get inside, your swords are repaired and in the room."

"Thank you" Waking up from Uncle Miles, I went down to the basement to train a little, I was focused on getting out faster and without injuries, I had to master the technique as soon as possible.
