Atlas placed the mysterious stone inside the coffin and cast the spell, with which even he wasn't going to know where exactly his grave was going to be in the world.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ After finishing his spell, Atlas turned around and left the graveyard. There was nothing more to do anymore.
Outside the graveyard, he could see Tyler in the distance, commanding his men to guard the place, assigning them positions.
"I am done." Atlas walked upto Tyler. "You can relax now."
Tyler walked behind Atlas, back to the mansion.
"My Lord, you said other Progenitors will be coming here as well?" he asked along the way.
"That's right. At least two of them should be here. We've already informed them. The only one who can't come is Ramiel since we don't even know where he is. He is still asleep if I'm not wrong," Atlas answered. "Lucius and Atlan should be here."
"I see... Can we really trust them?" Tyler inquired. "We've kept our lineage hidden from everyone. If they come here, they will know about us."
"What about that?" Atlas inquired. So what if they knew about them? He wasn't the only one who created a lineage. He was sure that they shouldn't have any problem. At best, they should only be surprised. He didn't believe that they were going to do anything to them.
Atlas entered his mansion again. First, he went to Misella's room to see how she was doing. After seeing that Lilith and Luna were still with her, he stepped back and let the girls spend time together.
Instead, he went to the place where Vor and Lancaster had been training.
Inside the town, there was a big empty ground which was selected by the two to train.
Atlas arrived in the arena with Tyler. He could see that Vor was fighting with Lancaster, but not seriously. One moment he was serious and the next moment he was stopping to correct Lancaster. In the middle of the battle, Vor was teaching.
"You're being too hasty when you see an attack coming to you. Instead, you should take your time if you don't know what to do," Vor said.
"Agreed," Atlas' voice came from the distance. "However, when you can't take time off, it's better to think fast."
"Castiel... It seems you're back. Want to join the battle?" Vor asked Atlas, seeing him in the distance.
"It's alright. I can't fight yet," Atlas cordially refused the invitation. He wasn't like others. He couldn't waste his strength here as each spell was a burden on his soul. He wanted to save his strength for later.
"I just came here to see you. You two seem to be doing great."
"We're just starting." Vor smiled. "We still have a long way to go before we can actually finish our training. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like we have much time so I am only teaching him the basics or maybe a little more than that since that might come in handy to him in the future."
"It sure might. I heard someone say that no knowledge ever goes to waste. Anyway I was wondering if you can also train Tyler at the moment. He also needs training for what's coming and who could be better than you to train him," Atlas agreed.
"Of course there is one person who is better than me when it comes to training someone. It's the person who taught me as well. When it comes to training someone I am nothing before you and I don't think I will ever be able to even come close to the knowledge that you possess." Vor responded. "So you should be the one training them, not me. I can only teach them what I know but you can teach them the true essence of War."
"I can't teach them anything. I don't even know half the things myself. As we said before I don't recall anything and I don't know much about the Wars at the moment. I am only someone who is trying to do his best with what he knows and hoping to succeed," Atlas answered, smiling wryly.
He knew he wasn't strong enough as Castiel used to be. He also wasn't knowledgeable enough as Castiel used to be. However he was still determined to do something before dying. He wanted to do something that could give some more meaning to his life.
If that wasn't inevitable, he could have probably hesitated in taking on this task since you would have preferred to live in peace. However, that death was actually invitable. Even if we didn't fight in the war he was going to die so it was better to actually fight and leave some legacy behind to prove that there was once upon a time a person named Atlas who lived, fought and saved this world.
"If you say so. I won't force you to teach them," Vor glanced at Tyler, gesturing to him to join the training.
Tyler looked back at Atlas wondering if he should really join.
"Go ahead. You'll get to learn a lot of things from him that you couldn't from me. He is called one of the greatest Warriors for a reason after all. With his training even if it's only for a minute or an hour you will see definite growth in your potential and fighting skills," Atlas told Tyler, seeing his hesitation.
He knew the Tyler was strong and knowledgeable. However Tyler was still someone who trained in his life only in the town with the others. He didn't experience the battles in the outside world with true great warriors like Vor or other Progenitors. That's what limited his foresight.
He was a strong Vampire, but he was still one without any true fighting experience against the true greats. He was definitely more skillful than him, but nowhere near his peak.
As soon as Tyler received Atlas' permission, he didn't hesitate much. He entered the grounds to train with Vor. He wasn't sure how this training was going to go, but he also wanted to see how far he could improve further.
