More Training and More Complications



I feel a lot more stronger now, a lot more smarter of tactics. I feel like I can be more confident in my skills of combat. Nevertheless, there are things that trouble me.

 

For one thing, I haven't heard that my friend had gone to the Pony, much less given me a note of something to say what she wanted to talk to me about. I had gone through my routine, though I wasn't used to Bryn and Conrob not being around despite of seeing Bryn earlier talking to Amanda. Though it's only for a few days so I'll make it.

Unfortunately, I had a run-in with this creep eventually. Some man named Karharo. From what I've seen about him trying to flirt with Gwaed and from him talking to me, it was apparent that he couldn't keep his hormones together. And dare I mention his lack of manners? Even Ghost has better manners than him, and Ghost is a wolf! Kristophor had come in and eventually, we had begun to get ready for training once again. As we had waited for Gwaed to change, Kristophor and I talked about my job to where he had given some helpful tips. With her ready, we had gone to the Training Hall.

Our roles were switched as Gwaed had started using her shield and sword while I focused mostly on my sword. I felt like my reflexes had improved as Gwaed and I had sparred. We exchanged blows yet I nicked her arm where she had carried that shield of hers. She had later on given me a scenario to what I would do in the field. Even though I had answered wrong, I still had gotten some tips with that as well.

After the spar, I had gone back to the Pony though going back outside for some fresh air. Velvette had eventually told me, even though I had figured it out already, that she was the one that had written that letter and sonnet. I had to tell her that I had things that I need to take care of first before I ever answer of her feelings, which...was half-true. I was troubled that what could be the thing that my friend was going to tell me. She eventually told me of this problem in the Pony regarding Angmarims, which...I haven't heard of such people since the incident with Aallan and even before, the death of my parents. Aallan had eventually joined us.

I talked to Aallan not long afterward where he confided in me about a few things. I really do feel bad for him. Though he's a friend of mine so there's no doubt that I would have trust in him. He's a good man.

 

I best get some sleep now. It's been a long day. Perhaps I'll get up early tomorrow and train by myself as I was asked by Gwaed and Kristophor. I can't afford to slack off now. I have to make sure that I'm ready in case a job comes my way.
