The Glyph Monado

Ch. 33: Training With Lovers

At Triplet Manor, Luz and Boscha were training. They were using their weapons without magic.

"You're good with the magic part, but it's still a weapon without magic." Boscha said.

"I know but don't worry, I'm surprisingly a quick study with weapons." Luz said.

"Quick, huh?" Boscha asked.

Boscha ran at Luz and tried to strike her with her blades. Luz put her sword up and blocked Boscha's blades.

"Yep!" Luz said as she pushed Boscha away.

"Not bad, but being fast isn't enough." Boscha said, "You need to out think you opponent in a sword fight."

Luz held her sword up.

"Then let's see how I do against you." Luz said.

Boscha held her swords up.

"No magic in this one, remember that." Boscha said, "Just the swords."

"I know. I know." Luz said, gripping her sword tightly.

Luz thought back to her first time using a sword, the toy sword she used against Adegast in that fake "chosen one" adventure. She had come far since then and wielding the Monado was proof of that.

The two charged each other and the sound of their swords connecting was heard. Watching from a bench, Amity watched her girlfriends spare and wondered if she will be as good as they spontaneously are with a sword.

"With Luz, she probably got knowledge from when she picked up the sword." Amity said, "Boscha on the other hand, she's a natural, there's years of work in her movement. She's had to of been trained with swords."

'But me? I was trained mostly in magic and Grudgby worked on my body but sword fighting would be completely new.' Amity thought.

She watched as Luz ran at Boscha and swung the sword at her, Boscha didn't move until the blade was about a few inches from her neck. She easily just bended her spine back a few inches. She used her sword and gave Luz a small cut on the side with one of her swords, while putting the other near Luz's neck.

"You're good, but you need to keep focus, not everyone is as rusty as me." Boscha said.

Luz just put the sword down, but she did snap her fingers and make vines wrap around Boscha.

"And not everyone is as crafty as me. Having elemental magic with the Monado comes in handy." Luz said with a smirk, green eyes, green highlights in her hair, and rose petals floating above her hair, as she picked up the Monado.

"Come here, Luz let's get that cut fixed up." Amity said.

Amity got up from the bench and walked up to Luz as Boscha used her swords to burn herself free from the plants.

"I think that's enough for the day." Boscha said as she changed her swords to earrings, putting them on her ears, "You're good, Babe, but you still have a lot to learn."

"I do too, so maybe we can learn together." Amity said as they walked in mansion, where a servant was waiting with a medical kit, drinks, and snacks.

Luz barely had her root beer in her hand before her lovers looked at her.

"If you chug that I will personally pop you." Boscha said.

"I won't stop her but I will pick up your pieces." Amity added.

Luz rolled her eyes, but didn't chug it.

'Worry warts.' Luz thought as Amity grabbed some string and a sewing needle.

"I don't know if you will feel this but this may hurt a bit." Amity said as she moved to stitch Luz's cut side off.

"Oh... wow... that hurts." Luz said.

"Sorry, I'm trying to be gentle." Amity said as she went back to stitching.

"Do you know a NUMB-ing spell?" Luz asked, jolting a bit from the pain.

"Sorry, Luz. Those are only for Healing Coven witches. If any other coven used it, it's be used as a weapon." Boscha said.

Luz felt the needle go into her skin again and held in a small scream.

"Would being popped have been more or less painful?" Luz asked Boscha.

"More." Amity and Boscha said at the same time.

Boscha held out a hand for Luz to hold while she got stitched up.

"Just a few more stitches." Boscha said as Amity gave 3 more sews before pulling the wound shut.

"There." She said before snapping the string. "Now if you would place hand me a healing glyph."

"Right away, ma'am." The servant said as he handed Amity a healing patch.

Amity placed it on Luz's side.

"There, now don't do something stupid for a day."

Boscha grabbed the root beer and carried it out of the room.

"I'm just getting these out of here." Boscha said.

"Hey! My root beer!" Luz called out to her!

"It's better this way. There are safer drinks to have without the risk of bloating." Amity said as she stood up next to Luz.

"But it removes the fun." Luz said.

Amity shook her head at Luz, wondering how she could find some things that are dangerous to also be fun.

"You are weird." Amity said.

"That's why you love me." Luz said.

Amity chuckled at this and gave her a quick kiss before the two of them headed into the den.
