Antinous Training Grounds
8th Bell


The clash of blades.

The short, choppy steps.

The gasping for breath.

The duel.

It was exhilarating, it was enjoyable, and it was finally becoming second nature to him.

Cool blue eyes stared down the familiar greens of his patron's, the squire shifting around her, sword and shield at the ready. The ringing of their steel was not an unfamiliar sound, but the precision with which their lashing blades met was something new, and Dinah welcomed this change with open arms.

"Orion, are you just going to stand there, or are you going to do something?"

"Sera, you certainly talk a lot," he quipped back, a challenge to their early spars. He'd managed to find plenty of time to talk when he was first learning the blade, and she'd called him out for blabbing by putting him on his rear again and again. It was time that he return the favor.

The squire flexed his grip on his longsword, raised and lowered his shield a few times, and then tensed to strike. He wasn't the foolish man he'd been a year ago. She'd seen him looking at a sword that was way too big for him, and sent him running up and down stairs answering questions. That was the start of a year of training, of brutal exercises that brought him to this point.

Shifting his left foot forward, Orion lowered the tip of his blade, thrusting towards Dinah's midsection. Before his attack was finished, he'd already begun to withdraw his blade and begin rushing forward with his shoulder lowered and his shield pressed up against his body to give him a ram with which to strike.

Dinah smacked his blade aside with her own, knocking her squire's blade up and high, exposing him for a counter attack - or she would have, if he wasn't following up with a second attack of his own. The Captain Knight jerked her shield into place to meet his rush. The resulting collision sent her stumbling backwards, barely maintained balance nearly failing her at an inopportune time. He's gotten strong, she thought to herself, correcting her stance to continue their dance of steel.

Orion chose to press his attack, refusing to give Dinah even a moment to give the upper hand. She was more skilled than he was, so pressing the advantage was his only option. Bouncing on the balls of his feet, Orion slid them towards Dinah, raising his sword to deliver an overhead slash, causing Dinah to reflexively raise her shield to block. Rotating his shoulder, the squire's arm dropped to the side. The sweeping slash cut across the side of his patron's shield, jerking it across her body. Muscles tensing, the squire let his attack follow through until his bicep was touching his chest. With Dinah recovering from the first attack, he exploded through with a second, backhand slash, once again targeting her shield.

The biting steel drove her shield away from her body, exposing her center to his onslaught. The key to the style that Dinah had trained her squire in was constant movement, thinking two or three strikes ahead, predicting enemy movements and choosing the next attack based on it. It required a keen eye, a cerebral thinker, and sometimes a bit of luck. His arm continued it's path, the momentum caring his sword off to the right of his body. Retracing the steps of his first strike, the ball of his shoulder rotated in it's socket until the longsword was high in the sky.

It only remained there for a moment before it came crashing down on Dinah.

The two weapons met in a flash of sparks as the redhead shifted her blade to meet his strike. Edge scraped against edge as Orion tried to push down her sword and open her for another strike.

"Come on, Dinah, are you just going to stand there?" Orion taunted, grinning across at the redhead. "Or are you going to do something?"

Dinah responded by mustering the strength to push his blade up and reward Orion with a swift kick to the midsection. With a flourish of her sword, Dinah was advancing on her squire. "I think it's time we stopped talking. And that's Sera Lorene to you, Orion."

Smirking, Orion readied his shield for his inevitable defeat. It had been a good show, but it was time for them to get down to business, and that business was bad for the blue eyed squire.

While Orion's form was proper, and his attacks directed, he still lacked the grace that Dinah displayed with every attack. While his blade cut through the air, hers sang. While his strikes were powerful, hers were debilitating. Skill trumped power, but she combined both into a devastating dervish of slices, slashes, and thrusts that Orion could only dream of matching.

Normally she would pull her punches for awhile, let Orion learn to spot openings, and let him get used to flow of combat. Normally he wasn't quite so cocky, however, and there was an entirely different lesson to be taught.

It took only a few ticks before Orion was on his heels, an endless whirl of attacks probing his defense. With each strike Orion attempted to interpose his shield between the sharp blade and his body. Jarring impacts raced through his body as any attempts to redirect the blows were met with failure. She's just using the momentum! Her sword slid off his shield effortlessly as she seemed to adjust each strike to meet the face of Orion's shield with as little effort to her while dealing maximum punishment to the squire's guard arm.

Gritting his teeth, Orion refused to yield despite the losing battle he faced. Again and again Dinah's attacks came, and time after time he repelled them. The burning his shield arm only intensified with each swing, but by focusing on his footwork and form he would survive for a few moments longer. Movement was key, she'd told him that over and over again. When he stopped moving, that's when she would take him down.

Orion began circling Dinah to the left, forcing her to turn with him. She couldn't continue bearing down on him if she was forced to rotate, though it didn't seem to deter the skilled knight much at all. Her strikes kept coming, diagonal, left to right, uppercuts, and overheads. She was just too skilled.

The squire lashed out with his longsword, a short compact swing all he was able to manage from his defensive stance. Leading heavily with his shield was the only way he'd managed to survive Dinah Lorene thus far. His forearm tensed as he parried one of her attacks with his blade. As her weapon collided with his, his arm jerked down, causing him to lean forward. A quick reaction with his shield prevented him from having a new scar on his face. A powerful slash collided with his guard, forcing him back to an upright position. At that moment he could see the smirk on her face, the way she was toying with him and making him doing exactly what she wanted. The entire combat had been dictated by her up to this point.

And here I thought I was getting better

Bringing his right shoulder back, he withdrew his weapon enough to earn enough room for a counter. Diagonally from right to left came the underhanded swing, steel screaming out as the blade met her shield. As she raised her shield to protect herself from the expected counter attack, Orion lunged forward when the guard crossed in front of her eyes. Lowering his body by bending at his knees, the squire exploded at his patron, letting his sword fall from his grasp. Long, powerful arms wrapped around her midsection as the surprised knight found herself being lifted off the ground and subsequently slammed against that very same ground.

With the wind knocked out of her, Dinah lay gasping for breath. Orion, shocked by his own move, wasted precious ticks trying to decide what to do. While he'd been in a few brawls in his day, he didn't really know how to fight without a weapon. When Dinah began to move, the squire sprang, crawling up her body to pin her sword arm to the ground with his shield. "Got you," he announced.

Orion received a shield bash upside his head for his efforts.

Before he could react again, the dazed squire found his world spinning and his fortunes reversing as Dinah gave the blue eyed man a shove to the ground, claiming the position of power atop him. "Got me, have you?" Her retort came complete with a full toothed grin.

Shaking the cobwebs from his mind, his eyes focused. As he realized their situation, Orion would claim victory in the only way he could. "Never thought I'd find you like this, but could we go somewhere more private? I'm not sure I can perform in front of all these squires"

"You're disgusting," she scoffed, putting her hand on his face and pushing his head back into the ground. The dynamic of squire and patron, or at least of Orion and Dinah. She was almost sad it was soon to come to an end.

"Sera Lorene! Sera Lorene!" A voice calling out captured both their attentions, heads turning to watch as an unranked knight, presumably under her command, approached. "Do you have a moment, Sera? He's given an answer."

Dinah's face lit up as she quickly crawled off her squire. "Orion, keep on training, I'll return to you momentarily." She waved him off to go find another sparring partner, quickly moving away from earshot to discuss whatever business she had.

Left to his own accord, Orion made no quick movements to go and secure that second spar. Dinah had been wiping the floor with his attempt at besting her. A moment of rest sounded like a much better idea.

Dinah and her were chatting, and rather animatedly so about a topic Orion couldn't make out. Having taken a seat in the middle of what was previously his sparring grounds, blue eyes rested on his patron knight. She was happy about something, and at the same time surprised. He just didn't know what it could have been. As long as she didn't look over at him, however, he wouldn't care about it too much. It was a rather lovely rest he was enjoying. Until..

"Oh Michaels, over here good looking."

Orion froze in place as the sing song voice he'd not heard in over a season reached his ears. They'd gotten so close, so fast, and then everything fell apart when he refused to open up. When he refused to spill his sins so openly. Fair skin, deep brown eyes, and flowing black hair. Mage-knight in training, and beautiful woman to boot.

"Lilly. It's been awhile," Orion said, tossing a glance over his shoulder at the approaching squire. Black leather armor and her katana, as always. It was both refreshing and bothersome to reunite with her. It was only a matter of time, but he'd rather have delayed it.

"Things get a little too heated and you don't look me up for a whole season? I'm hurt, Micheals. I thought we had something special." The dark haired woman stuck out her tongue as she arrived beside Orion, taking a seat to his left. "I hear you've been busy. Patrolling, having babies, the whole gamut, but no time for poor Lilly."

He wasn't sure if she was messing with him entirely, or if she'd really remembered things that way. He could never tell with her. "Funny, Lilly, I thought you were the one to tell me to fuck off and leave you be," he replied with a grin. "Distance makes the heart grow fonder, isn't that so?" He tilted his head slightly to the side, scooting where he sat to face her slightly. "I only waited because I knew you'd come running eventually," Orion teased, raising his eyebrows in challenge.

This, of course, caused Lilly to scoff and give her fellow squire a rough shove. "Talk, talk, talk. That's all you ever do, Michaels. Let's see you put that mouth to use."

"Was that a proposition?"

Lilly's face turned red as she turned from him, shaking her head vigorously. "No, no, no! That's not what I meant, you jackass! Ugh!" She hated that he did this to her. He couldn't take anything seriously, a joke had to be found. "What have you been doing with yourself?" The mage's words were muttered, her head turned from him in a refusal to meet those blasted blue eyes.

"I didn't know you cared," he said softly, thinking for a moment about invading her personal space. The way she'd approached him and genuinely asked him a question gave him pause, and a reason to smile. "I've been figuring out a lot about myself. Orion the father, Orion the friend, Orion the eventual knight. There's a lot of things I don't know about me, yet. Still hard to open up but.." He leaned his head back, staring up into the light blue sky. Vibrant and clear, save for a few clouds dotting it's splendor. Winter had just left them, and it was already beautiful outside. He wouldn't miss the snow, and wouldn't be upset if he never saw it again. "It's been quite the journey,. Not much in the way of Orion the lover, however, so if you're.."

"Stop it."

"Fine, fine. It's good to see you, Lilly. It's been too.." Orion trailed off as the mage-squire began to move from where she sat. "Had enough of me already? That's got to be a new record."

Crawling to her feet, the mage squire wasted no time in retrieving her blade from its place at her side. "Come on, Michaels. Show me what you learned. Spent a season without me watching you, I've gotta make sure you didn't get any better than me."

His spar had found him, in the form of a woman he could toy with effortlessly. So easily flustered by something he did, something about him, and yet she was unflappable in an assault from others. "Fine, but don't complain when I put you on your back." He took a hand and pressed it against the ground to aid in lifting himself back to his feet. His sword and shield rest at his feet, but soon they found themselves back in the squire's hands. Not enough rest, never enough rest, Orion would do his best to silence the Sunberthian squire.

Weapons in hand, the two squires stared one another down, silently daring the other to make the first move. Neither was willing to flinch, neither willing to back down. A test of blades, and a contest of spirits awaited both squire and mage. The familiar feelings of their sparring would be replaced with new ones forged in struggles and successes alike.

Let's do this, Lilly

If there was one thing Orion hadn’t forgotten about Lilly Grants, it was how fluid she was with her blade. Not on the level that Dinah had shamed him with, but with her katana, she’d been more than formidable the last time their weapons had clashed. It was a dance to fight with her, but Orion had learned a few steps of his own.

Making the first move, Orion made sure his shield was ready and began to close the distance. Her blade was curved, it’s strength in its cutting edge. While his longsword wasn’t lacking in its cutting power, it had nothing on the expertly forged blade which his opponent wielded. Their weapons were live, and they would ensure that they didn’t actually deal any significant strikes. That didn’t mean it could be taken any less serious. A familiar fire burned in Lily’s eyes, equal parts disgust, desire, and confusion. It was just as he’d left her last time he saw her.

As soon as he began to move, Lilly’s legs were in motion to prevent him from getting the upper hand. Slender fingers gripped her weapon tightly, both hands wrapped around the grip, forearms tensing while she prepared to clash with Orion.

Orion raised his shield up to chest level, absorbing the first of Lilly’s slashes she delivered at her fellow squire. Almost floating backwards, the raven haired mage kept lashing out as Orion continued his advance. As his shield took impact after impact, his sword arm remained poised to strike quickly and with brutal precision. It seemed that the mage-squire had been slacking on her training. Mistakes in stance that existed prior sessions seemed more obvious, more pronounced.

He would exploit them fully.

When she slashed, he blocked, but instead of continuing pushing forward, as he had in the past, he moved at angled steps. The thing that Dinah had taught him in recent times was to ensure that he didn’t fight on straight lines, as he had done when initially learning to hold blade and shield. Fighting wasn’t done in turns, or on lines. Overwhelm and attack the body, not the weapon.

After deflecting one of her blows, Orion shifted towards her, stepping forwards and to the left, away from where momentum carried her blade. As he moved he brought his sword up preparing to strike. She’d left herself completely open after such a simple maneuver, and she was rewarded with a pop to the shoulder from Orion’s pommel. He pounded the bottom of his hilt into the young woman’s shoulder, a loud crack as he made contact with bone. Crying out in pain, Lilly’s arm went limp as she released her weapon with one hand. Following through with his movement, the blue eyed squire dropped his body low, taking another step past the mage. The longsword was brought low, and then jerked backwards to catch the back of her knee with the long guard of his blade.

Lilly’s feet were swept out from underneath her , sending her unceremoniously tumbling to the ground with a loud thud. Orion drove himself back to his feet and lowered the tip of sword at her chest, declaring victory in their short exchange.

”By the gods, Lilly, I don’t think I’ve ever finished off a woman so quickly.” Smirking, his mischievous blue eyes were ablaze with excitement. ”Let me know when you’re ready for another round.”

”Go petch yourself, Michaels.” She snapped back, reaching over to rub her shoulder where he’d struck her moments before.

”Wouldn’t have to if you weren’t playing hard to get.” The smirk grew into a grin as he withdrew his blade and returned it to it's place at his side. Success was his for the moment, but with Dinah's return, the former physician would find his focus changed entirely.

”Orion, we need to speak privately,” Dinah called, motioning the squire over to her. ”I have a bit of news to share with you.” She seemed proud of herself for something, but Orion couldn’t quite place it. It wasn’t smug, and it wasn’t to the level of arrogance. He’d allow her to explain at her leisure, however, as he’d learned the hard way about trying to press Captain Knight Dinah Lorene about something before she was ready to speak on the topic.

Silently, knight and squire made their way over to an unused area of the training grounds, away from prying ears and dueling squires and knights. Dinah wished to make sure her words were Orion’s first, before the rumor mill took over. ”Orion, you expressed some concern about what was to become of Emily if and when you departed on your quest for knighthood. If you can forgive my forwardness, I’ve found a solution to this problem before it becomes one.”

Orion crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow at the redheaded knight. ”Yes, I had some trepidation about it. What have you done?”

”A subordinate of mine has offered to..for lack of a better term..adopt Emily.”

”No.” Orion turned from where he stood to begin walking back to the training area. He wasn’t sure what he’d expected from her, but that was as far from it as it came. He was trying to be a good father, not hoist her off on someone else, and waiting around for Dinah’s rebuttal would only leave him getting upset. It was a sensitive subject for the squire, and she’d left him insulted by the offer.

”Hey! Don’t walk away! It’s not a full adoption! It’s just a way to make sure she’s taken care of!” Dinah jogged after Orion, knowing she should have expected such a thing from her squire. ”You’d be able to visit her whenever you wanted. This is because of your success that this is even an option. So please hear me out.”

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Orion slowed to a stop. ”What do you mean? I’m listening,” he replied, back to the knight.

”Sergeant Knight Kristopher Brock is one under my command, and I asked some time ago if he would consider taking Emily under his watch. Naturally, between your reputation and that of your daughter, he was weary,” she said, grinning. The little barb had caused Orion to spin around in defiance, but when he saw the look on her face, a grin of his own appeared.

”Alright, Dinah, so what’s the point?”

”The point is, you changed his mind. Your successes both in training and in action have caused people to look at you in a different light. The amount you’ve grown in such a short time, well, let’s just say there’s a bit more value in the Michaels bloodline than there was before.”

”You really know how to butter a guy up, Dinah.”

”Listen, you’d be able to visit her whenever you were able, you’d not have to worry about running out of money paying for a nanny, and she’d get education and some training on social graces. Gods know she needs it.”

All Orion could do was chuckle in reply. His foul-mouthed little girl had some rough edges that needed some attention, that much was true. ”And there’s no catch?”

”When she were of age, if she was interested, she would page under him, or his own subordinates, if he saw fit. Emily will walk the path to knighthood. If you agree, of course. Otherwise I’m afraid you have to hope that your quest takes no more time than you have coin to keep her cared for.”

Of course. Of course there would be a catch. There was always something, wasn't there? No one would simply watch Emily for him, not that he would feel comfortable burdening in such a way at least. When one finally came along, they weren't just watching her, they were adopting her. Orion didn't believe for a second he'd be able to see her whenever he wished. They'd be doing with her what should have been done with him twenty long years ago, and what he would never be able to do for her. Preparing her for her future.

"You don't have to agree today, but they woul-" Dinah stopped speaking abruptly as Orion's hand shot up to silence her. He didn't need to hear it. 'No rush, but actually we need to know as soon as possible.' It was all a joke.

But it was exactly what he needed to do.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

Orion nodded, looking squarely into Dinah's eyes. If he did this, Emily would have someone actually caring for her, she would have someone there for her that wasn't enticed solely by the coin that Orion was tossing her way each season. She would have the one thing that Orion would never be able to provide for her.

A real family.

The child's fiery spirit, harnessed for Syliras, would do amazing things, of that he was sure. Emily’s will was indomitable. She would serve well in whatever capacity she chose to follow, if given the direction to do so. Orion, unfortunately, had not the time to help develop the young girl’s curious mind. She needed someone to foster her inquisitive ways and help her be what she was capable of being. By playing part time dad in the way he had, he knew that he was only limiting her. He couldn’t pass up an opportunity like this, could he?

”Yes, I said okay. I agree. As long as I can see her whenever I want.”

”He said that you could.”

Orion rolled his eyes and turned from Dinah, starting to make his way back out to the training grounds. ”I’m sure he said it, but did he mean it?”

Dinah shook her head, following after her squire. She’d been around Orion nearly every day for the entirety of a year at that point, and still, she didn’t understand him. He picked the strangest battles, the most peculiar things to take stands on. He would focus on something until he was satisfied with the results, even if there was something of more importance to deal with. She knew they would get nowhere else on the topic, but she couldn’t hide how she was pleased he’d accepted. If he’d not been able to finish his knighting quest before his coin ran out, Emily would have been put up for adoption by whoever wish to claim her. Dinah’s concerns were put at ease knowing that the girl would truly be cared for, even if it was a clear struggle for her father to come to terms with.

”Orion, I’ve got one more thing, hold up.”

Once again, Orion came to stop, turning to face his patron. They’d played this game more times than he could remember. He walks away; she chases with more information. He walks away; she still has more talking to do. He wondered if that was a requirement to be one of her rank. ”Yes, Dinah?”

Smiling softly, Captain Knight Dinah Lorene stepped up beside her squire, putting her hand on his shoulder. Despite everything that he’d been through, the man had shown a determination she wasn’t sure existed when first he became her charge. He’d persevered through things that would have ended the knightly ambitions of some of her previous squires. He was ready. Almost.

”At the end of the season, I’m considering recommending you for your knighting quest.” Before Orion could speak, Dinah put up her hand. ”Considering, Orion. You’ve got the skill, and you’ve got the knowledge. I want you to..well…I need you to make less scenes in public. Your reputation is already creating an uphill battle. Publicly ridiculing people in taverns, well, the word gets around. At least let me hear more positive than negative this season.”

Orion chuckled, knowing exactly what she was referencing. He’d on more than one occasion created quite the stir within the Rearing Stallion throughout the winter season. He didn’t feel bad about it, but he knew that it wasn’t exactly the kind of thing that the knights wished their prospective members to be doing. ”You know only the bad things get around. A million good efforts washed away by one or three spats.”

”Exactly. Be good, Orion.”

”We’ll see, Dinah.”

”That’s Sere Lorene, Mister Michaels.”

It was going to be a long season. Training, good deeds, Emily, Hadyn, Liam. The most difficult thing would be biting his tongue when things were best said in private. "I'll try. For now, back to the grind, Sera." Orion gave Dinah a quick bow before returning to where Lilly was waiting.

"So what's the good news, Michaels? They kicking you out of the order?"

"Only in your dreams, Lilly. Up for another round?"

"I'm up for a win, yeah. Let's do this."

Yes, it was going to be a long season, but Orion had a really good feeling about it, too. Finally everything was working out for him and no longer did he wallow in darkness.

So there is a light to embrace..

Readying his blade once more, Orion lunged at Lilly, a smile upon his lips.

Graders Please Note :
As Ball is getting closer and closer to maxing out Pyken as a skill, I would like to request that in places where Ball is not doing enough to constitute Pyken XP if Pyken technique lores could be issued instead.

Examples of proper XP level for Pyken would be: Ball developing or refining his technique by adding new thing against an actual moving target, not a dummy.

The use of basic skills alone are not enough to accomplish XP at Ball's current level of Pyken.

Thank you.
