Training (Part 2)

I slid through the sand becoming a bit exhausted now. Raven ran forward swinging at me again. Our swords collided as I kneeled breathing heavily. "Struggling over there Summer?" Addax asked from the sidelines. "Shut up" I said groaning. I used the counterattack to allow myself to stand. I hopped back as Raven went to swing again. I ducked down kicking her in the stomach. She stumbled back but turned swinging again. I ducked under then kicked the sword out her hand. I put my sword to her chin trying to catch my breath. "Your moves are pretty predictable but you're quick with it, your fighting style is quite unique" she said smiling. I just let out a puff of air dropping my sword into the sand. "You seem exhausted now though. I guess I really was the right trainer for you, you barely broke a sweat with Addax" she said chuckling. "About time I had a challenge" I joked walking to Addax. "You guys are mean" he said pouting. "We can take a break for now" Raven said following me. "Will you be fighting in the war with us?" I asked sitting down at the fire. "Maybe, but if not I'll probably stay and protect or work an infirmary" she answered drinking water. "That sounds like a good plan" I said nodding. "What about you? There's got to be a reason you're training" she asked. I just glared at the floor smiling a bit. "I normally would stay on the sidelines but I wanna fight alongside Nightmare. We've always promised to have each other's back" I said glancing at her. "So you guys are close friends?" she asked. "Engaged" I answered nodding a bit. "Oou, fiancé. Well I wish you two the best" she said smiling. "Thank you" I replied smiling as well. The three of us just sat at the fire watching Aaron and Nightmare fight. She striked multiple lightning bolts that he was expected to dodge. He dashed forward swinging at her. She traveled through a lightning bolt then came back down striking more bolts. Nightmare rolled out the way starting to dodge again. "If you can dodge lightning you can dodge anything else" Aaron explained to him. "If Anton or Jayne is slower then this then we have no problem" Nightmare said teleporting to miss a lightning bolt. He blasted fire swinging from behind Aaron. She quickly glanced at him hopping back. She got rid of the storm cloud on the top signaling Nightmare to stop. He sighed putting his sword back in the silt. "We've concluded training today, the suns going down." Aaron stated walking away. "You guys did great! Good job Nightmare" Stacy exclaimed clapping. "Well thanks" he replied walking to where they were sitting. "What do you think Noah? Think he's got potential?" Raven asked. Noah kept his arms crossed just having his eyes closed. "Yes, I think he may even be better then me." Noah answered nodding. Nightmare gasped then clapped happily. "Approval from Fatheroah" he said smiling. "Stop calling me that." Noah said sternly.
The sun completely setted as we started to say our good-byes. I stood by the portal as Aaron and Noah reviewed on what Nightmare needs to work on. I just sort of spaced out yawning a bit. They finally let him go as we went through the portal back home.
