Chapter 1: Duel with Garic (hm, should I title this)
Stop thinking about attacking and attack. Ok, he’s extending his bla... Damn.
Tyr barely felt the bruise from Garic’s training sword as he donned his formal garb, throwing the blue tabard over his head. The white star on his chest seemed to radiate with moonlight. Leaning against the cool stone rampart of the lake wall, he waited for Roy to show up so he could get his rounds over with.
“Roy is going to give it to me about leaving the training hall early” he thought, grinning. In all the time he had known Roy, he had never seen Roy simply let an event go by without giving his opinion about it. In a way, he was glad for Roy’s extraversion, as he never had to struggle with making conversation when Roy was around.
“I can just say what is needed and Roy will fill in the rest.” He laughed at the thought.
“Hey, loony, is the moon getting to you or did Garic just hit you in the head too hard?” Tyr turned his head to see Roy’s large frame bounding towards him. Roy was grinning like he had just made the wittiest remark ever. “Loony?” he replied.
“Yah, you were laughing by yourself out there. So, did Garic hit your head when I wasn’t looking? He might of, he’s damn quick that one. Surprising for a man of his age, he’s been around since before the crossing. He told me about it once.” Roy stiffened his gait and spoke deeper. “Roy, cut it with the complaining, he said. When I was just a boy, I was moving crates twice this size across the deck of the Shrike in the rain. Have you ever tried pushing crates in the rain? Your fingers are stiff and swollen, so you can’t get a firm grip, and your feet slide out from you every two steps. And you know what? No one said one word in complaint the whole crossing. Now, get moving, and I don’t want to hear another peep out of you.”
“That does sound like Garic, alright.”
“So, why do you still do it anyways? You’ve been dueling Garic every week for about two months now, and while I still put my money on you every time, I’m starting to miss my pocket change.”
“Garic’s the only one I haven’t beat yet. I need only three actions at most to win a duel against anyone else on the island. Besides, I learn a lot from sparring with him.”
“So, what happens if you win?”
“I don’t know.”
Roy started to say something, but thought better of it. They began walking along the wall,Walking along the wall, as they
It was unlikely that he would need his armor on tonight, as an assault on Asylia by water would be suicide for an attacking force. The cliffs around the island’s edge formed a natural rampart that remained, as some would say, unnaturally smooth. Still, raiding ships were known to try Asylia’s walls, perhaps with the mad hope that such a great barrier garded an even greater treasure. He smiled at the thought. They would be rather disapointed if they ever did breach the walls, as Asylia did not have much wealth in terms of iron or other metals of war. Garic would often say that freedom from the constant wars of ascesion that the Asylians escaped from was the treasure that Asylia’s Blades garded, though Roy claimed it was the vast quantiies of rocks scattered about the island.
“I could have hit you this time, you know. I was ready for your riposte.”
“Ha, you could egh? Then why didn’t you?”
“You hit me while I was thinking about it.”
“Well, then you weren’t ready then, were you? Next time, only...”
“I know, only think about getting by your opponent’s defense at a safe distance. Its not knowing what to do that I’m having trouble with, its doing it.”
Garic smiled and
