NOVEL WEB Preparations
As Time went on, Alex grew and learned more about her family. Her father ran a smithy with several others under him, her mom then enchanted the gear he made. They have made a name for themselves most people them with respect due to the fact that the gear they make is of such a high quality. I does not help that they are both strong in their own right, though they never said exactly how strong they are, they are retired adventurers. We live in a large town named Forest Town, the main income for this town are the adventurers that come to hunt in the nearby forests. Many monsters roam the forest a fact my parents drilled into my sister's and mine heads early on. To teach the younger generation everything they needed to know a school also existed and is the second biggest building in the center of town. The biggest being the adventurer's guild hall, on top of keeping the adventurers in line they are also what passes for a local government currently.
Alex's lessons increased in number after passing her birthday, Liz's classes started to vary as their parents noticed the differences in their skills. Alex started to spend more time with her Dad, learning from him about her power. This included meditating in the forge room in the smithy in order to get used to the heat and power that will come from her skills.
DING, new passive skill obtained, Tempered Body (lvl 1).
Tempered Body: After being exposed to intense heat and molten metal particles your body has became even more hardy then before. Boosts Constitution by 2 every level.
Alex got excited and told her Dad that she got a new skill, she soon regretted it as he started having her exercise while next to the forge.
DING, Tempered Body has reached level 10 and has evolved into Molten Body (lvl 1)
Molten Body: constant exposure to intense heat and molten metal particles your body has reforged itself under this tempering. Can now build muscle without worrying about your body hardening and build excessive muscle. Boosts strength and constitution by 5 every level.
Alex tried to hid this, however he did notice as soon as she saw him. He nodded, “good, it looks like you got molten body. My mother, your grandmother told me to make sure any girl that is born to our family with a fire affinity got this skill. Not sure why, she never told me more then how to trigger it's creation. Now take the next few weeks to have fun, no more intensive training. Just do not forget to do the basic exercises of we might need to do more intensive training to get you back in shape for your awakening.”
Alex shivered at the thought of more training, she nodded and quickly got out of there before he changed her mind. She looked for Molly to see if she knew where her Mom and sister are. Just like how I was going over training with Dad, Liz was doing the same with Mom. Only if anything they are being even more mysterious then Dad, I was allowed to talk about what I was going through. Sis was not allowed to talk about how she was training at all, all I knew is when she came to our room afterwards she would be freezing to the touch. She would also insist on snuggling until she warmed, not that I minded she makes the cutest little purring snore when she sleeps.
Finding Molly I ran up and hugged, “I finished training, any idea where Liz is?.”
Molly jumped a little at my sudden appearance, “still training, why don't you get a bath going and I will let her know where to find her.”
Alex grinned at Molly, “ok, thank you.” Alex then darted off to the bath.
After getting it nice and hot, Alex sank in enjoying how seeping into her body and started to doze in the heat. The training she went through having drained her more then she realized.
She was startled awake by a scream, “Sis, catch!” Her sister ran towards her in the bath, leaping at her. Alex had enough time to brace for it, nothing prepped for just how cold her sis is. She shivered as her sister settled in front of her, cuddling her freezing body into her.
“Liz no running in the bath,” a caring voice came from behind Alex. She recognized her Mom's voice.
“Mom what have you been doing to Sis? She is freezing cold.” Alex asked as she started unconsciously rubbing her sister's back.
“I have been training her in the same vain as your Dad did to you, getting her a few skills that will help her in the future.” Her Mom said as she passed her Daughters to settle on the other side of the bath. “Both of you have finished what you needed to do, so as long as you maintain the basics you are free until the day before your birthday, then we will need to make preparations for your awakening.
