The Sword Mistress (Jugger 82 x loneiysong)

RE: The Sword Mistress

"I was put through the same thing I am putting you through, now get into the room." She said and looked him in the eye. She looked into the eye. She smiled when he went in. She looked at him and sat down and leaned forward and whispered softly. "Breath, feel the energy of the tree. Relax, you are tense...relax." She pushed a strand of beads into his hands. It was made of a seed from a sacred tree on the surface. "Feel the energy of the beads. Store your energy here." She smiled and relaxed.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"My energy or my tension...?" He questioned...unsure as to whether he was trying to store energy or relieve tension. He just did as she was told and tried to focus...imagining his inner self channeling his spirit into the beads in his hands. His eyes remained closed as he tried his best...wanting to make Veronika proud, hoping that maybe she'd even decide to reward him somehow. A small...devious grin appeared to his lips and he imagined perverted thoughts. He imagined Veronika...'rewarding' him for his good deed.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

She shut her eyes and just continued to meditate. She had a serene look on her face. She did not even think about anything. She just existed. She sighed feeling energy pulse and move around her. Filling her up and completing her.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

His eyes peeked open...and he looked to Veronika. She looked so...peaceful. He smiled as he looked at her...wondering just how she managed to get this life. A famous steam sword teacher...beautiful looks...demonically evil with punishments...Nathan laughed lightly. "You seem really at ease with this...Veronika. Excuse me for interrupting again but it was just so interesting how you..." He kept his tongue and shook his head. "I'm sorry...I'm light headed. I just feel weird right now...Veronika."
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"Just shut your eyes and focus." She said from a spot far away. She knew that he was weak. First time in the meditation room she passed out and her master had to carry her to the medical wing. Her arms were in pain. She had been forced to do 200 herself. She smiled adn looked at him and canted her head. "Focus."
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"Yeah...Focus...Can barely do that with..." He cut himself short and shook his head. "Nevermind...Focusing...focusing..." He repeated silently until he was completely silent...his eyes closed as he tried to focus, concentrating on his inner self...using the beads to aid in his concentration...but he didn't quite know what to feel for. He felt normal, aside from the relaxation of the silence around them...despite the humidity due to the greenhouse. However, he did not complain...He just stayed silent and tried to focus, but felt nothing.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

She just continued to listen. After a while, she stood up and walked away and moved to the cafeteria. It was now lunch and she was starving. SHe put her hands on her hips and walked and sat down waiting for the waitress to bring her food. She didn't have to get food since she was the sword master.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

He did not hear her get up...He had fallen fallen asleep! By the time he had awakened, it would be far too late. He would have missed her and he cursed himself. "Oh shit oh shit oh shit...!" He cried as he rushed through the halls in search of his teacher. "A thousand lashes! I bet thats what she's going to say!" He said as his skin went pale at the thought of the whip going at him and pretty much killing him in one swipe. He rushed through the halls, checked the cafeteria, checked their room, checked some of the classrooms...but he couldn't find her! "Oh where are you, Veronika...?!"
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

He soon came across an older student who blanched at her name and then smiled. "She is probably in the back practicing. Good luck." She said and continued to walk.

After Veronika had enjoyed a good meal, she peeked into the concentration room and smiled seeing him still meditating. So she decided to go into the practicing quarters and there is where she was practicing with a large sword that was usually for two hands but she was handling it with one hand and smiled looking around.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

Nathan approached her from the front...daring to never approach her from behind when she held a weapon in her hand. "Veronika...Sorry that I kind of...Meditated too long. But I lost sight of you once I stopped. Have you been here all this time?" He questioned, noticing the giant sword she held in one hand. Was she truly THAT powerful? Could someone really hold a sword like that in one hand? "What are you doing out here, might I ask? Just...holding that sword...? Is it special or something?" He was not sure if it was made of light material to make it easy to hold with one hand.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"Mostly. You missed lunch." She smiled adn then looked up and checked her watch and then looked at him. "I trust you got good meditation in." She swiped the large sword in an impressive move that would rid the enemy of their own weapon. She canted her head adn smiled. "Practicing. And no. My weapons I never bring into the practice ring. You will only use weapons that are in the ring. Your own weapons you fight with will be yours in special places."
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"I don't even have a weapon of my own...so..." He shrugged and walked over to her. "Veronika...I was wondering. Could we get actual...sword training in? I'm tired of these meditations and these pushups. I know that they are important and a core feature to my training. But I want to know what its like to use a real steam sword. How to really protect myself with one and how to use one." He smiled. "Can't we please?" He wanted to do this as soon as possible. He didn't want to wait. He didn't want to meditate/sleep anymore. He definitely did not want anymore pushups.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"I tell you what. When you can lift this two handed sword up and go through the simple swipes and disarms with one hand, I will let you begin to practice with whatever you want." She put the sword blade down into the dirt between them and held it out to him and grinned. "If you can't lift it, you will have to drop and do 50 push ups." She canted her head and looked at him and smiled.
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"Just fifty? Done deal." He replied and walked over to the sword. He brushed his hands off and placed his right hand on the sword's handle. He took a deep breath...focused himself...and tried his best to lift with one hand. The hilt was riding but the blade was not. Eventually he just made the blade stand upside down, rather than lift it off of the ground. "Holy shit this thing is heavy as hell...!" He cried out as he tried his best to hold the sword with one hand. Through sheer willpower, however, he managed to lift it off one inch off of the ground before it fell to the ground and the flat side of the blade landed on his foot. He cried out in pain as he stepped back and held it and then looked annoyed. "Damn this is heavy for a steam engine..." He murmured. "I lifted it at least...may not have been much, but I did..."
 
RE: The Sword Mistress

"I meant lift and hold. You just lifted it to slam it again on your foot." She leaned down and picked up the sword and rested the flat of the blade against her shoulder. "So I won't make you do push ups. But you must go over and get a short sword from the wall."
 
"At least I get a sword..." He murmured as he walked over and picked up a steam sword off the shelf. It felt...vastly lighter than the great sword that she had him pick up. He swung it with ease and almost caused it to fly out of his hand with how much force he was putting into the swings. The blade barely stayed in his hand. He held it just on the edge of the hilt and he looked a bit embarrassed as the sword would have hit Veronika had it left his hand. "Uh...Sorry...Just trying to get a feel for it."
