Training in a forest cave

He helps her rubs some of a semi thick scentless pain killer cream onto her back being as gentle as possible knowing it is still going to extremely tender not even realizing he even had the strength to throw her as he did. While he works he thinks to himself did some of her magically enhanced strength get passed to me while I was a baby?

Arasinya would breathe easier as the cream was going on her back. The pain was started to fade and she was feeling more comfortable now. She would smile as she said, "Thank you, Xerxan, I'm feeling a lot better now."

"That's why I can't go with you to that tournament as part of your team all it would take is someone doing something similar to what you did for me to react and cause you too much problems." " I don't even know how where all that power I used to throw you came from it has never happened to me before to my knowledge unless I just never noticed it." " I am glad your back is ok I was worried that I hurt you really bad that you hate me now for what happened to you after you surprised me during my workout."

Arasinya understood and nodded her head. "I see. Well, at least you might be able to help us train as long as the females don't go overboard with you." She then hugged him in an effort to show him she's not mad. "It's okay, Xerxan, I understand. I'm still here for you."

"What do you mean by overboard" as he looks at her completely confused at what she means by going overboard. He seems confused at first by the hug as he then wraps his arms around her in a similar fashion hoping he is doing it right.

"Well, like you said before. My other girls might be distracted by you and won't concentrate much on their training. That's why I'll help keep them focused." Arasinya then smiled as Xerxan was hugging her back. After a while , she slowly broke off the hug and asked, "What's wrong? You haven't hugged anyone before?"

He releases her and says " my whole like was nothing, but training to become a strong enough fighter or hope to have a quick death at my opponents hands." " I heard my mother mention some special lessons that would happen when I returned from the trip that ended up with my gaining my freedom, but that is all I knew of what she was talking about"

"Well, at least you have someone who cares." said Arasinya with a smile. If there was one thing that pains her, it's seeing someone who doesnt have a friend. "You haven't talked to your mother in knowing for sure what she meant?"

" I suspect it was mainly lessons to prepare me so she could parley me for some favors from the families in the upper ranks of the city which I knew were always taking note of me while whispering to advisors." I don't think she is alive anymore because she couldn't organize a mission to capture me which is common except I am sure the assassins tried to find her notes on the special ritual she used to bind her servants and soldiers completely to her rule."

"I see...well it's her loss anyway." Arasinya would feel more comfortable now as she slowly started to stand up. "Thanks again, Xerxan. But I'm tougher than this, you know, I can beat you for sure!"
