Two Treasures is Better Than One

Training Day

Vanessa and I talked all throughout breakfast, while Galactica and Hestia watched us. We talked and talked til Hestia got tired of it and told us to go to my room to talk for we were interrupting her breakfast.

I just rolled my eyes while Nessa giggled at the situation. And then we ran to my room when Hestia pulled out her battle axe.

We acted like children all over again, laughing while running around the castle. We past many servants and handmaids as we childishly ran around them and went up the steps to my room. We burst through the room and jumped on the bed. We laughed and laughed until we just couldn't breathe.

"Okay so tell me, what are you and Mike doing here? I mean what made you guys go 'Hey jumping over the castle walls sounds fun!'"

Vanessa chuckled when she sat up, grimacing when remembering her and her brother's dumb idea.

"Actually we kind of just stumbled upon the wall, we were in the woods and we didn't realize we were at the castle walls when we jumped it. But we had a pretty good guess when we were surrounded with spears and someone telling us to freeze. And when we did, they threw bags over our heads."

I tried so hard not to laugh, but just when Vanessa turned to me and saw my face, she gave the 'Really?' face and I couldn't help myself. I burst out laughing calling them idiots for getting caught jumping over the wall. The castle walls are huge and is well known throughout the kingdom for its unique color structure and how fucking tall it was. It's beam was red and the whole wall was white with red and black roses patterning it. The wall itself surroundeds all around the castle premises, which blocks the castle from the village and the woods that's behind it. On the top of the red beams, near the back of the castle, were golden spikes to keep intruders out. They have guards watching the front for protection. Everybody knew that.

Everybody except the Russo Twins.

Who left Waterpool, around two years ago, thinking they were hitting the jackpot out in Silver Arrow when they heard there was a mountain outside the town that had a cave full of treasure. Apparently, they stayed there after hearing it was a nice place, and then left after stealing from a bakery. Haven't heard from them ever since. Then they pop up here. Where I landed in.

How ironic.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Next Day

I was having a marvelous dream about some cute tavern girls that would usually serve at the taverns near Waterpool, they were all over me. They kissing me on the neck, telling me handsome I looked. They were really into my face strange enough when one of them licked my face.

When I sat up and wiped my face, my eyes landed onto the culprit of the end of my amazing dream.

"Why hello, Rufus."

Rufus was a big fluffy dog that looked very similar to a wolf, but the only difference is that he rather lick my face any way he possibly can instead of biting me.

"Good morning, puppy. I see Rufus has woken you up for me."

Now her however-

I looked up to see Queen Galactica in her queenly attire, gown and all as she approaches my bed. She petted Rufus's head and he jumped down from the bed and trotted away. Galactica smiled after him while I questioned if dogs could be people. Or could they just be as smug as them.

Galactica looked back at me as I looked into her eyes, the swirled with joy and the other emotion people say when they look into my eyes. Mischief.

I squinted my eyes at her. "What time is it?"

Galactica giggled, "Well it's time for you to start training, little pup."

"Training for what?" I exclaimed getting out of bed.

Galactica went into the wardrobe that was by the door and took out some tan trousers and a white sleeveless blouse. She turned around to me expecting that I would understand what it meant. I looked at her even more confused. She realized I didn't understand and sighed in disappointment. "She didn't tell you, did she."

"Who was supposed to tell me something?"

"Tia of course."

I looked at her very confused. Who the fuck is Tia? Before I could ask Galactica that, she interrupted me with a wave of her well cared for manicured. As if she never felt dirt before.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone take you to her so she can teach you how to become a big bad w- pup."

Before I could question her, she left my room with a quick goodbye and a little wave.

I looked at the door and then down to clothes she wanted me in. I looked down at and sighed. "This is gonna be rough, isn't."

I hate training day.

Apparently Tia is Hestia.
(no shit)

And apparently she was supposed to tell me that she was gonna train me so I could "defend myself" even though they had so many guards. I met up with Micheal after I went to the backyard that was mostly guards and army personnel training. And Mikey and I just watched them until Tia forced us to start sparring with each other. I won them of course, but it still didn't impress Hestia. She made us do the exercises that she made her men do. She made us run around the castle premises, twice. And then we had to spar against one of the guards, three times.

Luckily, I was taught how to fight and stuff but this wasn't like anything I had to do. By the time we had a break, Micheal had his blouse off, and I had my head in the water bucket. Once my face hit the water, it made a sizzling sound.

"You guys did decent on your first round, now you just have to do the routine two more times then we can head in," Hestia told us.

I pulled my face out of the water bucket, and looked at Hestia. "You got to be kidding us, right?"

Hestia looked at me with no emotion but seriousness. "I don't joke about a perfect functioning machine of a body. Which you can get by working out as much as possible."

I looked straight at Hestia.

"If you weren't so God damn hot, I would have left this place eons ago."

Hestia chuckled and lowered herself down to me, head halfway into the bucket.

"If my wife wasn't so God damn hot, you and your friends would be in chains, rotting in my dungeon for eons."

I pulled my head out of the water bucket all the way as Hestia yelled that break was over and to get to our respective sparring partner.

I dragged my sparring partner to our area.
