[Irathia]

26th of Spring, 516 AV Irathia sat on the ground near the Stone Garden, Sera Ravonai paced slightly, thinking about what to do for irathia's training. She said earlier that they were start going to train her body, so Irathia naturally assumed they were going to go running or something... But it appeared Sera Ravonai wished to make her do something else... Irathia leaned her head to one side as Sera Ravonai pushed a finger in the air and turned on her heel to face Irathia. "Ah... Irathia, get your self up!" Sera Ravonai said, grabbing Irathia's clothing and pulling... More along the lines of throwing, Irathia up and onto her two feet. "No sitting for today, unless I say so, understood?" Sera Ravonai said, pointing at her. Irathia nodded and looked around, she was slightly confused on what she was doing. Sera Ravonai clasped her hands together. "Irathia, today, like I said yesterday, we are going to train your body of yours into shape! You maybe be strong compared to some of the other squires, but you can still become stronger! You can get those muscles you use for swinging your hammer even bigger! Faster and harder swings! I want you to be fast, I want you to be able to lung and jump and do cart wheels in armor... But for right now, we are going on a run." Sera Ravonai did her speech, the entire time Irathia was nodding in confusion... Sera Ravonai placed her hand on Irathia's head again and squeezed a tiny bit. "Understand?" "Yes, Sera Ravonai." She said, as she patted the arm off of her head... "So we are just running?" She asked, trying to understand, and Sera Ravonai nodded. "We are going to run and then move on to working on your other muscles." Sera Ravonai said. "If you want to start using heavier hammers you are going to need to build up your muscles. As well if you wish to ever ride a horse." She said, Irathia nodded again and smiled at Sera Ravonai.

[Irathia]

Irathia looked and stared at Sera Ravonai... She smiled at her, and she smiled back. "So an important thing to do is control your breathing, make sure you make it in a consistent pattern. Do not let it out of control or else things will be bad. Now sense you are just starting we will go slow, after all, I rather you break the next time then the first time." She joked as she looked around. "Just follow or stay by me, okay?" She wasn't paying attention to what Irathia was doing, so Irathia just got ready in the best way she could. Sera Ravonai began to jog forward, Irathia following in suit closely behind... Irathia attempted at keeping her breathing in a certain pace, in and out with each step. She looked at Sera Ravonai, she seemed to be going completely fine, and she looked back at Irathia and smiled, she whipped her head back around and continued running. After around twenty chimes Irathia felt beads of sweat beginning to form on her fore head... Her breathing was starting to loose it's pattern, causing her to pant slightly as they continued to run. She slid her eyes towards her Patron, and she looked completely fine... Irathia suddenly burst into a run to catch up with Sera Ravonai, slowing down when they started running side by side. "What was that about?" Sera Ravonai said as they jogged, she said each word in between breaths, trying to keep her pattern in tact, but it was clear that she messed it up a bit by talking. Irathia just gave a shrug to Sera Ravonai as they continued on.

[Irathia]

A bell went by, and they were still running, Irathia's legs were beginning to ache, and sweat dripped off her face and hair and onto her body as she kept pushing herself to stay next to Sera Ravonai. Heat seemed to be pulsing off of her and around her as she continued to run forward, her mouth was open and a steady beat of pants emerged from it... What was disgusted Irathia a bit was how her clothes began to stick to her skin slightly, she hated when that happened... It felt made her feel all bunched up and it restricted her moving. Sera Ravonai was in a similar condition as Irathia, sweat began dripping off her face and hair as they ran, she started to huff with Irathia, but she wasn't sure on the static of her legs and feet... Which for Irathia were burning slightly, parts of her feet cried slightly with pain as they ran... Irathia noticed that both of them were losing speed as they continued to run... Both of them seemed to smile though... Sera Ravonai came to a full stop and Irathia followed, going ahead slightly as she didn't quite got the idea of fully stopping the momentum they built up... Irathia looked over as she leaned over, placing her hands on her knees. "Well... Why did we stop?" Irathia asked... "I mean... I am not... Defiantly not complaining..." She said as she straightened up and pushed her hair back out of her face. "My gods that wasn't fun..." She mumbled under her pants... "Well... I saw you needed a tiny break, and I feel like we should move on to a different thing. Mainly push ups, sit ups... Something else..." Sera Ravonai said as a grin spread across her face. "And of course we need to run to the Training Grounds to do so." She said, her grin growing as Irathia's face fell into a frown. "If you can't tell, I am enjoying seeing your reaction."

[Irathia]

Irathia scowled at Sera Ravonai began running again after two chimes... "Keep up Irathia!" Sera Ravonai shouted as Irathia began to run towards Sera Ravonai... She ran next to Sera Ravonai once again as her legs screamed in protest. She looked at Sera Ravonai's toothy smile and scowled at her... They made a steady pace as they approached the training grounds... Irathia did not look forward for having to do more things that made her muscles hurt... But that was a burden she must pay for being a knight. When they made it to the training grounds, several chimes later, Irathia was sweating again.... She looked at Sera Ravonai as they walked inside the training grounds and as they looked for a good spot to start their sit ups and push ups and what ever else Sera Ravonai wanted to do... Eventually they found a nice flat area devoid of much sand and dust, and Ravonai pointed at the ground... "Get on your back, knees up and arms behind your head, please." Sera Ravonai said. Irathia frowned and walked to Sera Ravonia, where she proceeded to lay down next to her on her back and did what she was told. Leg together and bent up... Arms behind her head... It was kind of relaxing, but then Sera Ravonai had to ruin the fun and push down on Irathia's feet. "Try to get up and touch your elbows on your legs as much as you can. You only can touch your legs once before going back down and up again. Understood?" IRathia nodded at Sera Ravonai. Irathia took in a deep breath as she bent her body forward, already her back and arms were protesting against her movements as she quickly shot forward and placed and elbow on her knee... She slammed her self down and took more breaths before going up and touching another knee, this time she did it much slower and only one elbow against her leg instead of both like she did the first time.

[Irathia]

Irathia's body was protesting, her back, stomach, and shoulders were starting to become sore... She was about at twenty sit ups and her body was not liking it. Sweet began dripping off her body once more, the air around her felt hot on her, and she was not enjoying the experience to say the least. She eventually broke mid way through her twenty fifth sit up. And she laid on the ground, panting as she whipped sweat from her head. "You okay Irathia?" Sera Ravonai asked, looking over the squire as she flipped her body over so her stomach was touching the floor. "Just I am slightly tired..." Irathia said, still panting as she turned her head to look at Sera Ravonai. "Can we move on before my back splits down the middle?" She asked... Sera Ravonai nodded. "Actually, yes! Push ups! Use your arms to push yourself up off the ground." Sera Ravonai said, chuckling at Irathia as she groaned. Sera Ravonai sat next to her as she watched Irathia push herself up off the ground, counting each time Irathia pushed herself all the way up. Each push up the already sore muscles fought against Irathia and her quickly draining energy reserves. Around ten pushups Irathia collapsed onto the ground and breathed heavily... "Sera... I can't... My arms... My legs..." She said through pants... Sera Ravonai nodded in understanding as she began to stand... She held out a hand and Irathia grabbed it, pulling up her up onto her two feet. Irathia frowned slightly as they walked
