After a few hours, the party soon arrives at the edge of the Valley of Kumut. It was a nice place. The flora here were all beautiful and one could see for miles from that first hill, looking over the rest of the valley and the scatterplot of villages within it. | |

Sylvia trudged along behind Vance silently, intently aware of her role. She was a squire - her only job was to serve Sir Vance and learn. While she could relax when she was only around him, when other people were around it felt like the stakes were much higher, like she had something to prove. And so she was silent, walking doggedly at his heels as he strode on confidently.
"It certainly is beautiful," Vance said, as they walked. | |

"Indeed it is!" Thorn adds cheerfully. "Oh, we're all travelling together so I think it's right that we all get to know one another, yeah?"
"It is a good idea to know one's allies as well as their enemies," Malice adds. | |

Vance nodded in agreement. "I couldn't agree more," he said. He brought up his hand to his chest, laying it across his light chestplate. "It's always important to know your allies' capabilities, especially in combat. Who cares to start?" | |

"How about were start with the two of you," Thorn suggests. "I've always wondered why any human would want to live in a village of elves. By default we aren't exactly as privileged as the bigger human kingdoms or even most of the larger villages." | |

Vance smiled at that. "I see," he said. "Yes, it is a bit unusual, isn't it? Well, we did live among humans, for a long time, but I figured when training my squire we both needed some place where we could only focus on the task at hand. Your village was perfect for that."
Sylvia nodded in support of his words. All of it was true... but she was thankful that he was pointedly leaving out a few details - the ridicule she saw among her peers and other knights at the idea of a female squire, the pressure that had forced the two of them to seek out a place where they would be able to train without young pages heckling her and young squires hitting on her. | |

"Oh, you don't say...AH! I only just realized! You're a minor!" Thorn says, losing her usually very calm and polite composure in speaking to Sylvia. "A ripe young mind, fresh for new information. Knowledge! Ah, they say knowledge is power. Wisdom is grace! O' the quill doth inscribe its beautiful words upon my heart. Ink bleeds for it wishes to encompass the mind of another. A mind so deprived of the stories it has to tell." Yes, this was certainly Thorn, whisked away into her education dreamland.
"Wow...poetic," Sickle says with a blink. "Didn't expect that."
"Then it is settled! I will not allow this quest to derail the studies of these fresh young minds. I will see to their Education personally!"
"Wait, what?" Sickle says, trying to backtrack and figure out what was going on. | |

Sylvia blinked, taken aback by Thorn's outburst. "I... what?"
Vance grinned. "I have no objections," he said. "Time spent dallying when it could be spent training is time wasted, after all." | |

"Indeed. Training of the Body AND Training of the Mind. Yin and Yang. Together the ultimate balance. O' sweet harmony," Thorn says. She suddenly opens her eyes and looks around. "O-oh! I'm sorry! I must have been daydreaming! Um...did I happen to...ramble for very long?" | |

"Uh..." Sylvia blinked again. What had that been about?
"Not too long," Vance said, amused. "We were discussing training, though...?" | |

"Right. Their education. Yes, I'll see to that. I'm sorry. Sometimes my mind just goes somewhere and forgets to tell me when it's leaving. I don't know why I do that," Thorn says, rubbing the back of her head. | |

Vance laughed aloud. "Oh no, it's good to see such passion. Some youngsters seem to lack it." He smiled over at Sylvia, and Sylvia smiled back. She knew he wasn't talking about her. "Perhaps we should take advantage of this time now for training?" he suggested. | |

"All right. Sure, let's work on sharpening our skills a little," Thorn nods. "Malice, would you like to-"
Malice nods and steps forward. "If that is your wish, lady Thorn." | |

Vance frowned, confused. "I thought we wanted to train the young ones, not the veterans," he said. "Unless you're thinking of a demonstration?"
Sylvia sure hoped so. She wasn't keen on the idea of fighting the elf woman. Sparring with Vance was already bad enough. | |

"Oh, of course then. Why not?" Thorn says. "Sickle, would you like to spar with Sylvia?" | |

Sylvia stopped, startled. "Wait, what?" she said, surprised, and Vance grinned at her.
"Come now, don't be shy," he said. Sylvia looked up at him with the sort of glare that causes trained killers to hesitate. Vance only laughed, and Sylvia looked away, irritated. The last thing she wanted to do was spar the arrogant girl. | |

"You can go first," Sickle says with a look of mischief about her face. | |

Sylvia looked up at Vance again, and he nodded firmly. Drat. Not what she had wanted to have to do.
She reached down for her shortsword and hesitated. She didn't exactly want to accidentally hurt her... so she instead reached into one of their packs for the wooden practice sword that Vance had insisted on bringing with. He had said they would keep up training on the road, and he hadn't been lying.
She held the sword at her side, then brought it up, remembering Vance's words. "You go ahead," she said, nodding at Sickle. It was better to react than act, she repeated to herself. | |

| [Attn: Sylvia] Sickle wears, on her face, the same look of mischief as she holds out her hands and, in an instant, a blade of ice forms in her grasp. Turning it ever so slightly, she manages to capture Sylvia's reflection in it and smirks. - Tutorial Part One: Battle:
Welcome to the combat system! You are now partaking in a battle with Sickle. The battle system is pretty basic from the perspective of the player. You are allowed to have your character carry out a maximum of three attacks per turn. Don't be afraid to be creative with it. Here is an example from Sickle. Her attacks will be Bolded
Sickle suddenly launches herself forward and swings her blade at Sylvia. She intentionally allows her blade to meed Sylvia's false one. She then slams down on Sylvia's blade and finally swings high, intentionally sweeping just above her head. - Tutorial Continued:
Your motions needn't be specific and, like I said, you can be as creative as you wish with it. Keep in mind, though, that just because you post a motion, does not automatically mean it connected with the enemy. That is determined by a system that will be introduced later. For now just spar with Sickle until you get the hang of this part of the battle system that is incredibly easy.

Sylvia scowled as the elf girl attacked, intentionally missing each of her attacks. Was she playing with her now? Sylvia lunged for Sickle's chest but quickly pulled her sword back before it hit, and swung down to strike the side of her knee. | |
