Vaspira was still sore from the previous training with Master Pikkle, who knew that acrobatics required so much effort. Sure she was unintelligent when it came to it, and assumed she would learn fancy flips, not strength training. Vaspira could not help but wonder what the Pycon man had in store for her today as she headed to the Training Grounds near the Base Camps. Her muscles felt stiff and sore, her legs were like walking on stiff boards. Vaspira groaned mentally, but shrugged off the pain she was feeling as she walked towards the Training Grounds.
Pikkle was standing there, as if he knew she was coming, looking straight at her as she entered. Vaspira frowned down at the Pycon, thinking it was peculiar.
”What has taken you so long to get here, I expected you two bells ago!” Pikkle said looking up at the sky before staring at her. He was smaller than her, but she learned from her last session that sized did not matter. He had more strength in that little body then she did in her large one. She felt in adequate when she trained with the Pycon and a little worthless as well.
Vaspira sighed and stared Pikkle down. ”Well, I was busy trying to get my muscles to work this morning, so I made it when I was able.” This wasn’t a lie, Vaspira did try to wake up early. But her body just was not allowing that nonsense, it screamed at her when she tried to leap from her tree limb. Maybe sleeping in a tree while training was not such a good idea after all. Although it may make her stronger for it in the end, albeit more sore and tired.
Pikkle placed his small hands on his hips as his brow furrowed in an agitated scowl. ”Like I said the other day, wussy pussy to the fullest. Punctuality is a part of the training, if you cannot suck it up and make it here on time, I will not be wasting my time on your laziness. Do you want to learn acrobatics, or do you want to be a weak whiney kelvic?”
Ouch, that hurt the pride. Vaspira said to herself. She wanted to learn acrobatics, hell she wanted to learn a lot of things, this was only the beginning. She never wanted Master Pikkle to think otherwise of her. He had a point though, she was being a sniveling brat about it, and she needed to suck it up and show him that she wanted to learn. Vaspira vowed to herself just then that she would train even harder today, to prove to the pycon that she was serious about training.
Vaspira inhaled sharply, casting off her personal thoughts, as she peered at the man with respect. ”I understand what you are saying Master, and I am sorry that I am acting like such a wussy. I vow that I will try harder.” Vaspira said this with stern confidence; she was serious that she would try harder, to make him proud.
Master Pikkle just nodded, not accepting the apology or casting it off, just a simple nod that he understood and would believe it when he seen it. This little nod made Vaspira heat up inside, she did not like it when people did not believe in her. This just fueled the fire of the vow she had taken this day, she would exceed his expectations if she ended up in the hospital near death.
Master Pikkle stayed silent for a few chimes just staring at Vaspira before he decided to speak.
”Alright, show me what you learned last time, show me what you remember from our training session.”
Vaspira inhaled a deep breath and went into the routine she formed from the moves she had taught him. It was time to show him she cared. Her body showed off her toned muscles as they strained to comply with her body’s movements.
She started off with her hands palm down on the frozen ground, being buried underneath the snow, lifting her hips off the ground, stretching her legs before her, then using her core muscles to slowly move her legs behind her and over her head, going into a hand stand position. Her body was a perfect line as she held it there, with her toes gracefully pointed towards the sky. From the hand stand position, she used her arm strength to bounce her body up into the air, doing a half flip landing on her feet, as her feet met the ground she slowly pushed her body forward into a front Aerial. Her feet barely come to the ground before she twisted and pushed her body into a somersault, flipping her body three-hundred and sixty degrees forward. Vaspira landed on her feet perfectly, her arms at her sides, a wolfish grin spreading across her face. She was proud of herself, even if Master Pikkle wasn’t. She could tell her body was getting used to the abuse, it flowed easier than it did that first day. She pushed her body through more training solo, to learn and get the moves down.
Master Pikkle nodded, a small smile on his face. That smile made Vaspira’s heart race with excitement. Excitement that she finally impressed him, or at least showed him she was serious. She jumped into the air, her left leg leaving the floor first, spring off of her right leg, twisting her body in the air, kicking out with her right leg before she landed on it, swinging her left leg kicking out in a swooping motion. Vaspira practiced this martial art like move for 30 chimes, before Pikkle was satisfied with her progress.
Vaspira could feel sweat trickling down the center of her breats, down her spine, and down her forehead.
”That was better than the first day, but keep practicing very day to get better.” Pikkle said with a curt nod, not waiting for her to respond before moving on. ”Today I would like to teach you something a little different. It is acrobatics, but acrobatics that you would use in fighting another person. They are difficult to learn, your body is going to hurt, so expect pain when you train with me or anyone else.”
Pikkle was standing there, as if he knew she was coming, looking straight at her as she entered. Vaspira frowned down at the Pycon, thinking it was peculiar.

Please note, this is a simple warning.
