fiasco in the training grounds

  Gora not one to stand around gawking for long gets straight to the point now that shes already bored with seeing the pace” um i guess i could show you around dy grigora” cofus states in a comely tone though unsure what to do.she thinks to herself to a moment then grins”oh i know I’ve heard stories by my grandfather that the astrans use to have dragons like us can i see your moment to their remains?”

  Cofus looks at grigora quite confused.”moment to their remains?”he says quite confusedly and the slightest bit disturbed”ya like the tower you bozos were standing in front of when you arrived in my city”

  cofus thinks long and hard to what she might be referring to but then it clicks for him he recalls seeing the odd rge blue tower next to the chiefs pace.“WAIT THAT WAS MADE OUT OF THE REMAINS OF A DRAGON!”

  he shouts aloud a few courtiers and nobles look in the direction gora quickly covers his mouth”hey shut up man you cant just go around yelling that kind of stuff we get enough raiders as it is”

  Gora says in a very aggressive hush voice the gears are turning in cofus his head while they thought their own home was impressive to gora they themselves failed to grasp the luxury materials of her grandfathers pace. Every little bit of that shining material was the remains of an electric dragon such materials in astra are impossible to afford. The tower and even the bits of blue ornaments on Gora’s person are all items of immense value.”wait but how can you have access to such things gora was all of that from your great grandfathers beast?”

  Gora looked confused”huh? What are you talking about there’s no way all of that could from one dragon besides my grandfather never even recovered all of it no there has to be like 3-4 dragons total there”she say in a quite matter of fact tone not aware of the insanity of what she just said

  “3-4! Gora how can that be? the Dragons died off hundreds of years ago their remains have been lost and scattered among the astrans how could your people so openly dispy them i thought your great grandfather simply had the st one?” his voice shown shaky as if his whole line of reasoning is being questioned

  “I mean I guess he had the st one but its not like he was the st one in two hundred years. Dragons in the nds of Sokara are considered incredibly sacred to kill one off the battlefield is unforgivable. My 3rd great grandfathers beast died 80 years ago but my 5th great grand fathers beast only died 90 years ago they live pretty long and i would have likely got to see my 3rd great grandfathers beast if it wasn’t sughtered 80 years ago. Are you saying nothing remains of your ancestors great beasts?”

  Cofus frowns abit”um well dragons in the nds of astra were never tamed and were mostly used as high valued prey. I can only really think of one astran king who rode one and maybe a handful of chiefs. Nobles of astran are lucky to have a few fragments of the beasts. I know rex has a rare dragon scale embedded in his sword”

  Gora thinks to herself once again how savage the astrans are to sughter such noble beast for their material was unthinkable to her people she shakes her head looks at cofus”OK got it not monument then show me your training grounds or something i still haven’t really got to test my new weapon yet”

  Cofus sighs and nods and gestures for gora to follow him. He leads her to a part of the pace that opens up to a training grounds of some sort it would be quite busy as many knights of the realm would be training for the upcoming fight. They’d be running, sparring and doing many other exercises. As she looked around she could hear the sound of music pying, it was a soft and cozy song that made her feel warm.

  As she looked toward the sides of the field she spotted a group of musicians pying their instruments some of which she’s never seen before. moving closer to them intrigued by two of the instruments they were pying. some odd 4 stringed harp like instrument that yed on the ground. They plucked the strings with their hands then pressed at the side of the instrument to change the pitch. It was a little eerie but also soothing. in front of the group a man pying an instrument gora was very familiar;a set of two flutes that he pyed at the same time.

  between them lies a man with shiny red hair at the top of his long and thick hair that is bck towards the ends. while he pys it often covers his eyes as he moves around his slim body was not that of a warrior as it moved with much grace and elegance as he strums away. His instrument is a type of lute that gora has never seen before the neck was thin and only had 4 strings on it. It had frets on the neck as well and a thin wooden body that was hollow . It was a light instrument that was probably 3 feet long. The strings seem to be made out of some kind of woven hair that’s as red as Sicus’s she thinks to herself

  Gora looked at the instrument with amazement she approaches the man who is probably around her age if not a little younger and stands in front of him thoroughly observing his instrument ” hello there sir what instrument might that be?”

  she ask pointing at the item in question.he looks at her with abit of confusion for a second but then answers her”its a pandura madam”

  He says in a charming tone that seems to have no effect on dy gora. She looks at it a bit longer than disregards it and moves on, truly not the type to ask too many questions simply satisfied with knowing its name.

  She moves towards a rge blocks of stone they keep around to test there fmes on; looking at the massive block with interest”how neat so you astrans simply fire away at rge rocks to test your geia. We sokarans will line logs standing up and will test ourselves to split the logs from the top.”gora says to cofus who has remained by her side at all times.

  “I see and what shall you attempt with our rge blocks of stone miss grigora?no offense to your skills but i think you’ll find this a lot harder to split than a long”

  cofus asks in a conservative manner.gora grabs her spear and walks up to the block and looks at it. It was a rge cube exactly 9 feet tall and 9 feet wide. She looked at it for a moment herself trying to think. She looks at her spear then at the stone.

  She proceeds to walk back standing 20 feet away from the stone. She pulls the spear behind her, holding her other arm out for bance. Little pieces of static electricity move around her person as she gets prepared to throw her spear for the first time. She flings her whole body into the motion with an incredible amount of grace and technique she throws the spear at the stone her geia propelling it through the air like her arrow from cofus’s bow. Lightning is sent sparking across the ground leaving the ground scorched where the spear went over. The spear quickly penetrates the stone hitting with so much force the rock entire rock cracks though as the lighting that is released from it discharges into the stone. It penetrates the stone with so much force the it splits the stone open with Gora’s spear going melting right through the stone and piercing itself up to the st foot of its staff into the castle wall that lies behind it. that is now only being held together by the cooling magma caused by the spear.

  Cofus and gora panic at seeing this they both quickly rush to the spear and grab a hold of it together. They put on their feet on the solidifying stone and pull together. Luckily as the stone hasn’t had a chance to fully re-harden as they pull it out with much ease sending the two falling onto their backs as they used too much force to pull it out. They y next to each other with the spear in Gora’s hands.

  Gora lets out a heavy sigh”wheh thought i lost you there for a minute”she says in a consoling voice to the spear. Much of the training grounds would be looking at gora and cofus. Suddenly a man starts to run up to them in a very aggressive manor. He stands right over the two ying down his eyes filled with rage as he looks at them.”what in the ancestors name is going on here why did you throw a spear at a block of stone miss now where gonna have to reforge that rock and repair the castle wall!”the man yells at the two.

  Gora frowns and stands up”im sorry sir i was told that the stones were for using geia on so i assumed they’d be much stronger i also just received this weapon and underestimated its strength”she says in a very noble manor that sound so unusual for her cofus looks at the normally rambunctious madam with a bit of confusion before bowing himself”yes im sorry sir Codia ill make sure she uses the proper equipment from now on”

  The mans face remains stern as he gestures towards the shattered stone and the deformed wall”you think an apology will simply cut it?!? No way you’re both mine for the rest of the evening!”

  Gora begins to open her mouth to say something but is quickly silenced by cofus stepping in front of her as he yells right over her compints”yes of course sir im so sorry”

  he says walking over to the stone with cofus following behind groaning. He gestures for a few other men to come help him. They all stand around the stone and take a position of reinforced bance thrusting their open hand forward; they let out a tsunami of fire upon the broken stone causing it to melt. It seems the floor below the stone was designed for this as it pooled into a hole and started draining down.

  Gora watched this with a bit of amazement as the stone quickly faded from sight as it seeps into the floor. The man looked at cofus and gora”well come on get up now we gotta get it back up here”he said with the voice of a military instructor without thinking they both get up and ran to follow him, As he took off with the other men without waiting for them. They’d walk down a side of the pace that would lead down a level a rge door is open by the other men. in the room lies a bunch of training gear and a giant cube mold that holds the new stone.”now that we are here you two will be doing drills until the stone is cool enough to carry back up”
