Chapter 6

Actaeron set Elias in front of the bag and moved him around until he was in the right position. Elias memorized the position he was set in, moving forward and delivering a strong punch to the bag. The other watched and nodded.

"Good, but move more, this time with your hips." Elias got back into position, before following the order and correcting his next punch.

"Better, much better." Actaeron murmured. The boy smiled at the praise trying it again a few more times to make sure he was getting it right. It didn't hurt as much to punch now, sighing contently.

"Anything else I should know?"

"Clear your mind. I know something is up there because you're not giving it your all." The little demon gave the male a confused look, shuffling his feet as he rubbed his forearm.

"I don't understand what you mean by that," He muttered. "I mean, I feel fine."

Actaeron crossed his arms. "Clear your mind. Don't think about anything." He repeated.

Elias hesitated, looking back to the punching bag and taking a deep breath. He fell into the correct position, trying his best to clear his mind of anything plaguing his thoughts. He finally delivered a solid and hard punch, black smoke following his fist before impact, making Actaeron growl and grab his arm.

"Do you want people to find out what you are?" He whispered. The smaller male flinched, holding his free hand in front of his face out of reflex, in fear of being hit.

"You told me to clear my mind! I'm inexperienced, so you can't expect me to be able to control it without thinking about it." He retorted.

"Then you need to see Excalibur to learn to control it." He sighed, rubbing his temple.

"Is that an order?" Elias asked, glancing at the bag. At least he knew how.

"Yes." The other said quietly. Elias nodded softly, walking over to stand by the man.

"Now?"

"Yes." Actaeron repeated and walked away. The little demon watched the male walk off, he turned and started to head towards where Excalibur was last.
