Maya’s POVThis content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
It was big, it was grand, it was everything I didn’t think it would be like. After moving recklessly the way I did, I was expecting my master to react angrily, but he didn’t. He was even the most generous when he explained how I had performed to his people.
He talked about the small battle like it had been a great war. Every time he spoke greatly, I would just try to wave it off to them that it was just something simple.
“Please, don’t mind him.” I probably can’t recall the amount of times I said that to all of them.
I closed my eyes after thinking about what had happened in the day and slept for the night. It was a good night.
The next morning I woke up, Elora’s medicine has worked on me. The herbal treatment was doing wonders to my body. After so much time spent being ill or unconscious, it was nice that I had someone to take care of me most of the times.
I got out of the bed and went out. I would try to schedule more training with the brothers later on.
My master had left for camp and wouldn’t be around for too long. I felt lonely that morning, but I felt motivated too.
I went to one of their doors to knock, it was Caleb’s.
“Good morning, sister-in-law.” He said as he rubbed his eyelids tiredly.
“Heyy, ready to train for the day? I’m ready. ” I approached him.
“You’re immensely strong already. I doubt we would do you any good.” He said, he was still sleepy and I tried to shake him maybe the sleep would come off him.
I left the door and went to Alex’s and the both of them were reluctant to do anything with me. I got out and began practicing small moves j had mastered and could remember well.
It wasn’t the most interesting thing, but it cured the boredom I was feeling and I wanted something hyper.
Venom had suggested that I don’t go to the war again so I can save my energy for the hell’s pit and after everything that went down out there.
I totally understood what he meant. My bones still had post stress disorder from the time I transformed and when I collapsed too and how I couldn’t remember anything.
I fought combat with a tree and when I got tired, I sat down on a log and tried wiping the sweat off of my face.
Someone came out of the house into where I had been training. The person had a female body and j couldn’t make it out at first until she approached closer and I saw who it was.
It was Elora.
“Good morning.” I greeted her, she was walking towards me.
“Good morning, you’re awake really early. Training?” She asked.
“Yes, but there’s been no one to join me. Would you like to join me?” I suggested to her.
She hesitated for a bit. “I don’t mind. I guess I can try to come alive again. Maybe wake my powers a bit.’ She said.
I liked at her and it seemed she was boasting. She would be the perfect candidate if she had tricks.
” You’re fighting in human? ” She asked as she made her stance.
I was bewildered, “yes, I’ll be fighting in human for now. Let’s see what you can do.”
Right as we began, she flew into the air and began to fling her legs at my face with kicks. I could barely dodge her, she was fast.
With every force of attack she made, I felt weaker till my body dropped to the floor and my internal organs were the only thing I could hear.
“What was that?” I screamed from the floor.
“Just ancient technique of combat mixed with a little witchcraft. You’ll be fine, no one is gonna do that in the pit otherwise, they wouldn’t be there.”
Fighting Elora made me realize there was too much I just didn’t know yet.
“Can we spar again? I want to fight and learn more from you.” I told her pleadingly.
“Get something to eat and drink some of the herbs, then we can go again.” She suggested.
I had gain some power back and I was quick to move to the house where I began consuming food like it would be my last supper. I was too eager to want to join her.
Perhaps, she was the training mate I wanted all along. She was perfect for everything.
I ate for a bit and went to her again.
She smiled once she saw me, “have you digested your food. Please, rest a little.” She told me.
“When can I come back again?” I was sure she was definitely amazed by my enthusiasm to fight and learn.
“An hour.” She mentioned and I left.
I counted the hands of the clock painstakingly till when it was time to go meet her. I calmed myself for a bit and prepared myself to get rejected by her since that was what she had done all morning.
The zeal has left me and I even reconsidered going back to meet her.
I sluggishly got up and went to her door.
I knocked on it and instead of asking who was there, she simply opened it up for me.
“Come in, Maya.” She said.
I entered into the room that had been allocated to her and smiled. Maybe she would finally accept me and allow to fight her.
“Can we train now,” I inquired.
“Yes, we can. I’ll just make preparations for our training ground.” She mentioned and went to the wall which seemed weird.
She began to draw strange lines and all of a sudden, the shower an opening to somewhere else like a portal.
I had gotten up from where I sat and went to where she was.
“Where is this?” I was surprised.
“It’s where we will be training.” She said, and before I knew it, I was knocked in by her.
