Alastor sent me a note saying

“I wanna rematch in 7 years I’ll we duel on the Isle of dragons and when I win, I’ll demand something from you.”—Alastor 

   The isle of dragons is not on this continent that means that he had read the Grimoire 

When I got it Alastor had already left the village. And I was six months in my apprenticeship with Taurus.

———————————————————————

  Taurus was saying I was having trouble with pains the impurities out the the steel

He had told me to think of it as training with my sword 

Like how you Repeated do the same move but with each minute you get better at it, just a little bit more 

until it reaches perfection

When I had heard that he said that I stopped having problems with forging

I had also asked him how to forge an eastern blade but he had no clue how to.

That became one of my many reasons for my journey to the east.
