Someplace where depression always finds me.
Veronika sat in pure meditation. Her ears were drooped slightly, but anyone who knew the sword mistress knew that she was meditating and was perfectly aware of everything in the sword dojo. She was a grey husky. Her back fur was soft shade of stormy clouds. Long black hair fell in a soft cascade down her back.

The meditation room was a place of focuse and peace. A place that each of her students were to spend their time when they were not working, sparring, eating, or sleeping. Tonight was to be the first day that the new students would come to learn the mastery of swords. All swords. The meditation was a room built of glass and was a greenhouse to those who did not know the place. Greenery grew and spread all around. A brave new sun was rising into the sky to make the once dark sky into a beautiful blue.

Her ear twitched as she heard the gears click into place in the front room and chimed that the time was come to get to work. Standing up, she looked at the large tree that grew in the middle of the room. She turned, and walked out. Already she could hear new students walking about and a few chatting in the greeting room. She checked herself in the mirror, then turning, she walked out.

Her boots on the stair case announced her arrival. She wore tight leather boots over her feet. The heels were imposibly long. Her thighs and legs were beautiful and wrapped in leather. Her top was soft linen and kept place in a corset. A belt hung low on her wide hips and on her belt was a rapier and dagger. Along her back was a broadsword. Her face was beautiful, but she wore a leather patch over her right eye. Unbeknownst to the men in the room, inside was a cyborg eye that took each in. Standing by her second in command, a fierce looking man holding a clip board, she chuckled.

"This is who I have to train? Have you given them the rules Number two?" She looked at the man she trusted. She smiled as he began to read them the rules of the housing. No sexual partners, no drugs, or alcohol. Curfew was 9 and lights out 10. Chores began at 6. She looked over the men and smiled and nodded a bit. Her blue eye traveling over the masses.

"Listen up swine, I am not your mother, I am not your girlfriend, and I sure as hell am not your hooker. I am the one in charge, I am the alpha. If you do not like having a 'pussy' in charge, there is the door." She motioned with one finger to the door. She smiled. "I will not coddle you, hold you, or allow you to cry. This is my school and you will learn how to use any sword or sharp pointy object put in your grubby little hands." She looked around at them. "You will be expected to dress appropriately, if you can wear it and fight, fine." She walked back and the second in command looked up. "Any questions?"
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

(By the way she does not necessarily have to be named Veronika if you don't want her to be. Veronika is just the name that her artist named her.)

Nathan watched...And he was a bit worried. SHE was his instructor? Why couldn't it have been any of the others? She looks...terrifying..."Terrifyingly beautiful...!" He murmured to himself. But...She was still a bit terrifying due to how she presented herself. She seemed so...commanding. Nathan sighed...knowing this might be a bad idea. He wanted to learn how to use a sword, and now he has a trainer...the harshest trainer apparently, but presumably the best one. "Oh my goodness..." He murmured when he heard the rules. 'No sex partners...? Damn...how am I to ease the tension if I can't...' He sighed...Once they were asked if there were any questions, Nathan spoke up. "Exactly WHERE will we be staying at, ma'am?" He called out. He was the last person to arrive...and the penalty was to be her student solely. Oh how he hated the steambus. He did not get a dorm...all the rooms were filled so he was stuck without a place to stay for the night...but he would never admit that openly. He still wanted to know where the living quarters were. Maybe he could 'find' an empty room...?
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

She heard him. It was a murmur, but she was sure she heard him. Canting her head, she looked at him and gave him a warning glance. Her eyes continued to roam as her number two continued to read the rules. Her hands were on her hips and then her eyes traveled back to him as she heard him speak once again. Taking the notebook from her number two, she looked over the pictures and the bios. So, he was to be hers? Great. Chatty Kathy. She handed the clipboard back, she canted her head and grinned wider listening to him speak.

"Well, you will be staying in the rooms you are assigned to you. Were you given a key to a dorm?" She canted her head. That was when she was notified he was late. Walking forward, she stood right in front of him and looked him up and down. Her breasts were the only thing that gave her away as indeed a female and not one of the men who tried to be a woman. She grinned. "What is your name?" She said putting her hands on her hips. Sure she was only an inch or two smaller than the boy, but she stood to her height and dared him to speak or do anything out of line.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

As she passed through the crowd of people, they moved out of her way...ample space...it was as if she had the plague and they did not want to get infected. And once she was next to Nathan, he felt her slowly shaving years of his life off of him as she spoke to him. Her breasts were so close to him but he dared not look down when she was so close to him. "W-Well you see..." He murmured as he tried to find the right words on how to express this. "I sort of...got here late...? The steambus broke down mid-flight and they had to send a recovery shuttle to deliver me here...And once I arrived, there were no rooms left...Oh." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the ID card that the academy had given him when he arrived. "Nathan Stone ma'am...Aspiring to be a steam sword master...and your sole student..." The crowd began to murmur...and Nathan felt like he only had a year left of his life left from the entire situation.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

She looked at him and canted her head. She stared him down, showing no compassion or mercy. She took the ID card and then frowned looking up to him and canted her head. "Well, Mr. Stone, pray tell, what is it your looking to become with the mastery of the steam sword." She walked away with his card and once turned to his second in command and clipped his card under the metallic part with a click and held out a hand for an ink powered quill and scribbled something on the last page and handed the quill back to her number two and then looked back at him and canted her head.

She thought it was cute. Little boys always tried to get her as their sole master because being a woman they thought she was going to be easy. But she woke up countless morning to find them long gone. Few had the brains to change their names so she couldn't track them. For she had tracked down a few recruits and forced them through the training and they ended up being the best sword masters ever.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"It is just..." He shook his head. "Just something to do. Its just something to do...really...and besides. I always wanted to be a great steam swordsman..." He shrugged. "Do I need to explain myself, really? I mean...you don't hear me asking you why you're a steam sword teacher. But yet here you are, a famous instructor at this academy." He murmured, not even able to look her in the eye the entire time that he was speaking to her. He knew that he just now spoke out against her, and that punishment might ensue...But he was not flinching as he waited for it. He simply just...waited to see what she'd do with this sudden outburst to defend himself.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"Just something to do?" She frowned and looked at him as if he had made an insult. The second in command heard the insult. Looking at Veronika, she looked at him and nodded. She took a flat wooden sword. Walking forward she moved the sword to her shoulder and smiled and canted her head. "Did they teach you respect at all at that school you attended Mr. Stone, tell me of your schooling before you came here, and please for the sake of steam do not say that you were never taught in a school." SHse wlaked back to him and frowned. She glared. The whole of the crowd stepped back now pressed against the wall as if she was pushing them there by sheer will alone.

"Something to do...drop and give me 150." She smiled and then looked at him. She stepped back and moved in front of him spreading her legs. The whole room held its breath, even her number two. They knew the penalty, and it was a lot worse than a simple push up or two. He was in for a world of pain that would last and remind him.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

Unlike everyone else...Nathan was oblivious to what was happening. He looked around and saw everyone suddenly gasp and murmur, even her number two. "Well...okay...?" He said in confusion...though Nathan wasn't even able to do fifty. He was able to hold a steam sword and swing it, but when it came to pushups, he lacked in entire upper body strength. "Well...I came from the surface actually..." He murmured, and pointed downward. Most people were either in the air or on the ground. The ones on the ground...had no steam powered engines or anything. It was a desolate wasteland...but somehow Nathan managed to come up here. "Down there, we had swords and such. But not steam powered ones...these are much better. Easier to swing....attachments can be made...and they make protecting people much easier." He began to start doing his pushups, going at a good pace at first. He wasn't aware of what was going to happen.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"Indeed, what is the name of your instructor?" She moved forward and watched him ove onto his hands and toes in push up position. She smiled and when he was in the middle of push ups, she pressed the toe of each shoe onto his fingers and shifted her weight so she was mostly on her toes and she grinned feeling the skin squish against his fingers. "Well, the steam sword will be the last sword to master." She looked down at him. "If at all." She pressed all her weight onto his fingers. When he opened his mouth to howl, she brought down the flat of the wooden sword on the back of his head. "Silence and count off." She stepped off seeing if he would do anything to protect his fingers. It would make the push up harder, but he would protect both of his hands.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

When she first stepped down on his hand, he cried out in pain indeed...only to feel the blunt end of the sword come crashing down on his head. He tried to hold it in pain, but her shoes kept his hands pinned down. When she ordered him to count off, he got into position and began to resume his pushups. "Twenty-one...Twenty-two...twenty-three..." He counted, getting tired as time went on...not even able to get to one hundred. "S-Sixty-seven...Sixty-eight...Sixty....nine..." He fell to the ground, panting hard as he was drenched in sweat, his hands numb and his arms burning in pain. He was tired...his head hurt...and he didn't know if he wanted to get back up to finish the rest of the pushups. He wasn't even halfway there. "I...I can't go any further..." He murmured.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

She smiled and stepped back. She listened to him count. Every now and then she would bring the blade part down on his fingers. "Keep your fingers together." She would watch him continue to work. She would slap his arms with the sword. "Keep those arms in check." After a time, the new recruits were excused. She saw him roll onto his side and then growled. She crouched down and leaned forward adn snarled baring her fangs. "You will get up and finish your push ups or I will make your punishment worse." She snarled and looked at him. Veronika knew that he would probably never again disrespect her, but she would put him through hell. "Get back into position before I make your pain worse." She growled one last time. Standing up, she said something in the language of the sky people to her number two he nodded and left.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"I CAN'T!" He yelled out, his eyes clenched as his breathing was hard. He was too tired. He was annoyed. He was tired...And he just yelled out at her again. He didn't care what she did. He wasn't physically able to go on but he would be physically able to take whatever punishment she had to dish out at him. "Do your worst...But I can't do these pushups! I can't!" He opened his eyes and he turned white when he finally saw that she was crouched before him and leaning forward. The white soon mixed with his blush so he turned a pink color...his blush there because he saw between her legs and her breasts were right there. "Terrifyingly beautiful..." He repeated once more and closed his eyes, expecting pain for peeping.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"You are a stupid little boy. If I had any mind at all, I would throw you from the academy." She shot forward grabbing his hair and pulled him onto his hands and feet. She stood up and then saw her number two come in. Taking the leather crop, she came back and kneeled down. It was a wicked looking thing with bits of metal protruding from the tip. "You see this whip, boy? This whip is as old as the academy and it is rumored that this whip was made with the remnants from the first steam sword, now, unless you want what is left of your push ups to be swatted into your skin, I suggest you keep going. I will give you till the clock in the parlor chimes." She stood up and walked forward.

Veronika did teh math. If he opted for the swatting, he would have about eighty nine swats. She tapped it against her boot and then the clock began to chime. It was now lunch time-12:00. She smiled and stepped around him like a bird of prey circling a creature that was to die.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

He panted...he could see the sharp metal bits...And he knew he was not going to be able to finish the pushups. He sat up and took his shirt off...so that when the whipping happened, his only shirt would not be destroyed. He began to do pushups once more...slowly...his body full of exhaustion. "Eighty....four....eighty five..." He said slowly...His arms looking like they'd give out. If he could just make it to one hundred...the lashes would not seem so bad. "Ninety seven...Ninety...Ninety eight...Nine...ty....nine..." He collapsed. He laid there, barely even breathing. His breathing was so silent as he laid there and look out to the side of the dojo, eyes hazy from exhaustion. He just wanted to take the fifty one lashings and get this day over with. "Do your worst...Bitch..." He said defiantly...Though, given that she was a female wolf, he didn't know if the term 'bitch' would be an insult or just a statement of what she was.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

Seeing him get back to work, she was standing there. Her second in command had left. She leaned against the sturdy staff and she continued to watch him. Moving forward. When he rolled to this side, he breathed hard, she stood up. Walking over, she was impressed he came so far. His arms were trembling. He wanted to do it, she saw in his body. She pressed the toe of her shoe into his throat and pressed down and looked at him. "You think that name calling will get you anywhere, Mr. Stone? Do you think that calling me bitch will get you to learn how to be a steam sword master any faster?" She looked down at him pressing hard. He was trying her. He was being defiant, and she was so close to kicking him out.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

When her toe landed on his neck and prevented air flow. He was not struggling much when he could not breathe. His hand grasped her foot gently...unable to really hold a grip as he was too tired to do anything. He looked her in the eyes and frowned. "I only do...what I am accustomed to. You want me to prove myself...I tried. You degrade me...I degrade you back...Where I'm from...We don't let others pick on us because we're low..." He said before removing his hand from her foot and then passing out. Fatigue had gotten to him and the loss of air made his body shut down to conserve his life. Of course the whipping might reawaken him after he regained SOME energy...but he might be sore anyway and unable to move much.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

She looked at her number two as he came back into the room and witnessed the boy. She walked back and grabbed a large bucket of water. Of course it was near frozen. Walking back, she dumped the water on him. He would be present with all of the punishment even if she had to give him a shot of the 'Blooded Steam' that would give him such a rush of endorphins he would not be able to sleep until she allowed him to. She kneeled and gripped his hair pulling him up so he could look at her.

When he awoke, she didn't wait. "How do you think you ahve proven yourself."
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"I have never said I have proven myself...I have only said that I tried..." He murmured silently. He was cold, shivering, feeling light headed and he did not care that his hair was being pulled upward. He simply put his hands back in the pushup position and tried his best to continue. "One hundred...One hundred one...One hundred two..." He seemed to keep going until... "One hundred forty seven...one hundred forty eight...one hundred forty nine... one fifty...one fifty one.. one fifty two..." He was going past the amount she had set for him. Though...it was obvious he was exhausted and not completely himself. "One seventy three...One seventy four...One seventy five...May...I...May I stop now...?"
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

She watched him. She grinned wider. She was proud. Yes he would do. She handed the number two the staff and motioned him off. He put a package in her hands and she took it. It was wrapped in paper and twine. She knelt in front of him. "Yes, please do." She looked at him. He would be perfect. She reached to her own belt where she kept a flask and took a drink and swallowed and canted her head watching him. "Do you know why I told you to do push ups?" She canted her head.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

He shook his head lightly. "No...No I don't know why you told me...Why? Because I spoke out...? Because I defended my privacy openly and did not allow...you to force me to speak of my origin? I know I am not originally from the sky...Perhaps you treat me this way because I am different than the others...?" He questioned...looking up and seeing the package she held. He was...worried that she'd force him to carry a heavy box to the top floor of the building where she stayed now or something. "Why...?"
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"First of all, I was from the lands myself, I was not from the sky or the in between. I was raised by my father. My mother left me on the porch, to die from teh cold. So do not start that violin cause I will not listen, I punished you because you spoke out, insulted my authority. Because like it or not, I rank higher than you, I am in charge, if I tell you to jump, you will ask how high." She smiled and then looked at him. "But what you have shown me this morning is that you are worthy." She gave him the wrapped package, it was light, it was probably a uniform. She looekd at him canting her head.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

He held the package and it was actually surprisingly light. He frowned. "I was not asking for sympathy. I was simply saying I will not let the others think less of me because of where I am from..." He said in annoyance. He did not even bother opening the package. He simply sat down with it in his lap and he slouched somewhat...his eyes heavy as he shivered. "Where am I to stay? I have no dorm room to sleep in. Unless I find a place, anywhere is pretty much my home...or rather my bed..." He replied.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"No one can think less of you, unless you allow them to." She smiled and then looked at him. She put the flask in his ands and smiled. "Drink, do not worry where you are to stay until the time comes." She stood up and then looked at him. "You will need food in your stomach. Come along." SHe smiled and looekd at him and grinned wider.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

He took a drink. The liquid was warm. It was soothing. And he was tired. He pocketed the flask and stood up, walking after her...following her. "Where exactly are we going...?" He wondered...would this turn out to be something where he would live with her for his time there? He wasn't expecting it honestly...just something to amuse him whilst he waited to see where they were going. The box was light...He wondered what was in it. It was wrapped in something...weird. "Where are we going...?"
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"We are going to the lunch hall. You made me skip my own lunch." She smiled and then motioned for an empty table. All the other cadets have let. She walked over and grabbed a serving wench and whispered in her ear. Then she came over and sat down and motioned to the package. "Open it."
