Slash and slice. Slash and slice. The young lord Eliwood was practicing his sword skills under the observant eye of Marcus, the experienced Paladin. Unfortunately, the session mostly consisted of Marcus scolding Eliwood on his poor skills and form. It had only been a week since he left in search for his father and already it had seemed like he had been doing this for years, with Marcus consistently picking out his mistakes in swordfighting.
'Alright, that will be enough for today." Marcus sighed and began walking off towards the direction of his tent. "But you must practice more Lord Eliwood. Surely you want to be strong enough to survive by yourself out there."
Eliwood turned bright red. "Of course Marcus. You have my word for it."
He turned away from Marcus and began a fury of slashes and swings with his rapier. He was so focused on his movements that he didn't notice that Erk the mage had silently slipped up.
"You look like if you were fighting for your life my world." Erk spoke seriously. "Almost as if Serra was after you."
