The Underlander Warrior

Chapter three

It's been four months since the quest. Three months since my mother killed herself. And two months since i finished my training. I am now officially a warrior of Regalia. 

Axel and I are a warrior duo. Our duties include; going on rounds around the city, checking things out, training the younger kids, and standing guard with Mareth. 

I wake up early and see my bond is already up. Mareth is making breakfast. 

"Hey Mareth? What are you cooking?" I ask hugging him from the back resting my head on his back. 

"Eggs." He chuckles and turns around and hugs me. "Also we're going to be training Gregor today in three hours so once you have finished with your testing please come join me at the arena." 

"Okay, will do." I say stopping the hug and making myself a bowl of salad. 

After breakfast, me and Axel flew around the city. There was nothing sketchy going on so we just went for a fly over the rivers. 

An hour passes before we start flying back too the arena. As we land i see Gregor walking over to Mareth. 

I jump off Axel and hug Gregor. 

"It's so wonderful to see you! Gregor, how fare you?" I ask grinning ear to ear. 

"Im doing good! How are you!" Gregor chuckles. 

"She will be much more happy today then any other day." Mareth and Luxa pipe up from behind us. I turn around and give them a confused stare. 

"What?" I ask confused. "Whatever do you mean?"

Mareth pulls Gregor into a bone crunching hug they both laugh Gregors hugging him back just as tight. 

"Woah be careful with the boy brother." I chuckle. 

"Did you hear the excellent news Gregor! My sister my amazing sister she's a warrior now and teacher. My girls a warrior!" He slings his arm around my shoulder, his face full of pride. 

"Congratulations Lina!" Gregor grins. 

"This idiot had talked of nothing else but my promotion since it happened a couple months ago." I grin up at my big brother. "So Gregor we will be giving you general training today. So cardio, muscle building, and sword and dagger training. I will be leading the self defense. Mareth will take over the rest. Shall we begin boys?" I ask letting go of Mareth. 

"Let us begin." Mareth agrees. 

We jog across the field to Luxa, Gregor goes to stand beside her. I fold my arms behind my back and stand with my back straight and my head held up. Mareth and Luxa stand the same way except Luxa has her hands by her side. 

Mareth leads us through general stretching, then we do laps around the field, we do about five laps. Then i lead us through sixty-five push ups. 

I hand Gregor a sword. "Okay I'm going to demonstrate with Mareth. Then you practice with Luxa. Technically we're training the both of you." I say. 

I pick up my sword. It's a beautiful silver blade with a black leather handle. It was my fathers. I point it at Mareth who also picks up his sword. A look of scary calm comes over both our faces. I hold my sword virtually in front of my face Mareth does the same

"Why haven't they started yet?" Gregor asks. 

"Wait, its very interesting to watch. Just wait." Luxa whispers. 

I breathe in, breathe out. Then i swing. Mareth catches it midair and we start fighting. The sound of blades clashing fills the arena. Both our shouting as we push further and further deepening the fight.
