Tave and Aura stood on the edge of a high cliff, the wind cool and sharp as it swept past them. Below, an open clearing stretched wide, bathed in silver moonlight. The forest thinned in that area, making it easy to spot movement between the trees. Shadows shifted beneath the canopy, and every so often, a creature stirred beneath the glow.
Aura was teaching him how to use an elemental arrow, and more than that, how to control that power without relying on standard elemental skills.
"Now," Aura said, "kill a Tier 4 monster. This training ends when we're eating roasted monster meat for dinner."
"So," Tave muttered as he raised his bow again, eyes scanning the clearing, "seems like you've spent quite a bit of time in the human realms, Lady Aura?"
