The boulder on the mouse's back was the biggest one yet, but she was almost at the top of the hill. Her muscles ached, bulging visibly as she took another step forward. Just ahead, the mountain of a horse that was her trainer waited, watching silently. She grit her teeth as she took another step. She could do this. Another step. She just had to make it past the fence. One more step, her legs shaking from the strain. Another, and another.\n\n\"You can drop it.\" The deep voice of Foral rumbled beside her. She happily let the boulder go, the rock hitting the ground with a loud thud. She fell forward with it, hands catching her before her face hit the dirt. She panted heavily, her arms and legs feeling like rubber.\n\nA waterskin was held out in front of her, and she managed to reach up to take it. The water was cool in her mouth, and more than refreshing. \"Th-thank you.\"\n\nThe man grunted. \"You did well. Most don't even make it this far. Impressive for a mouse.\" That was pretty high praise coming from him. He rarely complimented her in so direct a way. \"Rest. Catch your breath. Then we will try the sword again.\"\n\nShe nodded, shifting to sit on the ground, sipping at the water again. \"Okay.\" She knew better than to complain. Complaining would only make him more grumpy. It was hard enough when he was in a good mood. Then again, being his trainee wasn't the worst thing in the world. Sure, she had to live out in the middle of nowhere, but she got to see his powerfully muscular body all the time. Even if he didn't seem to have any interest in her, he also had no shame showing himself off. Bathing in the river the first few times was definitely more than a little embarrassing. Also the lack of clothing normally. The man wore leathers that covered his hips down to his knees, and not much else. At first, she wasn't sure why. Now she knew, it was both for flexibility as well as to breathe from the constant training. She now wore almost as little, a pair of leather shorts that ended mid-thigh, and a top that only barely covered her ample breasts. The rest of her now well toned body was left exposed. She had even cut her blonde hair, no longer down past her shoulders, but almost to her scalp. She left enough for a braid at the back of her head, a little warrior touch, similar to how he kept his mane.\n\nShe had heard about the mountain man when she was in the city of Honeydale. Something of a hermit, but someone who was willing to train those who asked. Though very few ever lasted long under his harsh training. But she was dedicated to it. She wanted to become an adventurer, and she needed to be strong for that. So for the last several months, she had let him subject her to more and more intensive training. The muscles she now sported were evidence of that training. She was no longer the skinny girl that begged him to train her all those months ago.\n\nShe flinched when a massive sword was planted into the ground beside her. \"Up. It is time to see how well you wield the blade.\"\n\nShe nodded, draining what was left in the waterskin before pushing herself back up again. She grabbed the handle of the massive blade and grunted as she pulled it out of the ground. Little more than a sharpened plank of iron with a handle, the blade was almost as long as she was tall, and wider than her thigh. When she first got here, she couldn't even lift the thing, barely managing to make it budge. Now, she lifted it up and held it in front of her. She still needed both hands and a wide stance, but she could hold it, though it still shook a little in her hands, but that was from the strain her muscles still felt from the workout.\n\nForal grunted, moving back a few paces and picking up his massive double-bladed battle axe. She still had trouble trying to wield that axe, and yet he was able to bring it up with one hand and lean it against his shoulder. \"Alright. Combat training. Come at me as if you mean to kill me. Because you should. Every battle is life and death. Even in training.\"\n\nShe nodded, taking a deep breath. He always said that, but he was right. She had more than a few scars along her arms and legs from his training. He always went easy on her, but he still made sure she knew every failure. She watched him as he waited, his stance relaxed, and yet somehow still very solid. She took a step forward, and he didn't move. Another step, and she swung in a wide arc. He easily avoided it, but she turned the blade to shift the arc upwards. He had to move more quickly, deflecting her blow with the haft of his axe. \"Good.\"\n\nShe let the swing finish with the blade hitting the ground, only to shift her stance and drag it around the other way, another wide but powerful swing that aimed upwards. He stepped backwards to avoid it, as she knew he would. As the swing came around, she pushed forward, turning the blade in her hand again, thrusting it forward at him. Once more, he had to move quickly and use his axe to deflect. When she felt the clang against the blade, she stepped forward and spun the other way, swinging the blade around herself and bringing it down in a powerful blow. He saw it coming, moving out of the way, only to grunt when she wrenched the blade the other way again, forcing him to hop over it to keep from having his legs shortened by several feet. He barely made it over, his hooves scraping against the edge of her blade.\n\nHe managed to plant a hoof down on the ground, but brought his axe around to keep his balance. \"Very good, but you are still too slow!\" He twirled his axe in his hand and brought it around at her. She gasped, pulling the blade up and pressing a hand against the flat to use it as a shield, blocking the powerful swing. It still made her stagger a step backwards. He swing again, and she deflected once more, but still felt the whole blade vibrating from the powerful strike. \"Don't just defend! Find and opening!\" He swung again, the blades making a loud clang as she was almost knocked over.\n\nWhen his axe struck again, she shoved forward, trying to push it and him off balance. When he pulled back, she spun to strike, only to have to halt her movement mid-spin to duck under a counter swing. She felt the wind from the axe missing her nose by less than an inch. He was already bringing his weapon around for another blow as she steadied herself on her feet. She brought the blade up again to deflect the overhead swing, knowing this was going to hurt.\n\nWhat she was not expecting was for her blade to snap the moment the axe connected. She gasped, her eyes wide as she stared straight up at the axe blade. There was no way for him to counter its momentum in time, and the blade came crashing down, embedding deep into the mouse's skull, splitting it down to her jaw. She let out a kind of squeak, staring up at him with wide eyes. Foral stared back in shock for a moment as the blood started to flow around the blade of his axe, then his expression settled on disappointment. \"I told you not to just defend...\"\n\nHe watched as she dropped the blade, her body starting to shudder and shiver. He ripped the axe free, and she dropped to the ground, trembling as blood continued to flow out of her split skull, pouring onto the ground. One of her eyes was staring directly at him, the other staring in a different direction, both full of tears. He watched as she died on the ground in front of him, pissing herself as her toned legs kicked and shivered. He set the axe down on the ground, then moved over to her, reaching out to gently touch her shoulder. \"Stupid mouse. You were never meant for this sort of thing. I shouldn't have let you train with me.\"\n\nIt was not long before her shivering died down and she finally grew still. He shook his head. \"Well, I guess that's that. Sorry, Chyoa.\" He slipped his hands under her and lifted her body up. \"C'mon. I'll wash you in the river. Then I guess I'll bury you next to the other idiots that keep coming to me.\" He turned and walked towards the river. This was the 8th potential 'student' of his that he had accidentally killed. Maybe he was just not cut out for teaching people how to fight.\n\n[center]* * *[/center]" }
