Sorry I didn't post yesterday!

Minerva

Second day of training. Today we shall see who has caused havoc and injued a soldier yesterday. This is no child's play, it is a matter of life and death. If we do not work together, we remain weak. As I arrive I choose my partner. I see a girl looking skilled enough and wlak up to her. As we begin, I see that she is rough, but could use some expert advice. Her moves are too narrow and she needs to be able to concentrate more while attacking and defending. I decide to use this as my advantage and test one of my newer martial arts moves. I hit her hard on her side. She falls down, wincing in pain. I bend down and whisper "Heal what is broken, mend what is torn, let no blood be spilt on the clothes she has worn." At my command, the girl's injuries start to heal silently. As she stands up, I smile. Then my smile drops. I see the boy from the infirmary on the ground, seriously injured, a big brute, and the girl that had been injured is helping the boy. Anger starts to boil. THAT IS IT! I walk up to them in my most authorative walk, and say in my most royal angry voice "YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS TRAINING SESSION IS NOT FOR REAL VIOLENCE!" The brute looks at me, startled. "I HAVE HEARD ALL ABOUT YOUR SELFISH ACT AND BRUTAL MEASURES FROM YESTERDAY'S TRAINING SESSION! YOU ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL! WE DO NOT FIGHT OUR COSOLDIERS HERE! BE GONE AND I DO NOT WISH TO SEE YOU IN THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN!" He does not move. "GO BEFORE I FORCE YOU TOO!" I say. He still does not move. That is it. With one fluid motion, I pull out a sword out of thin air, point it with both hands at this despicable person, and kick off the ground, landing at his side, and with all the force I have, drive him against the wall, sword to his throat. Everyone is watching. Then, sword still a centimeter from his skin, I put a finger to his shoulder and say "Take this being to a faraway land, where no more damage shall be cause at his hand, and if he shall learn his lesson he will, lose all ability to strike and kill, then he will be summoned back to this place, and I shall change his name and face." When I am done, I throw the knife, make a magical hand gesture, and the idiot is gone. Then I notice the boy is still injured. I rush to his side, and whisper the same words I had whispered to the girl's injuries earlier, only this time I add "Let this bravery leave a mark, not one to look down on, but one to make a spark, for whenever one sees this symbol I have left after I spoke, they will remember and hopefully be evoked." There is a flash of light, and then the boy stands up, and on his wrist is the crest of Fayry. Everyone looks in awe. Then there is a round of applause. I hold up my hand to silence them. I ask "What is your name, oh brave soldier?" "Bastion Swift" he replies. I smile and I brandish another sword out of thin air, and gracefully place it on each of the boy's shoulders. "I, Princess Minerva Celestina of Fayry, hereby knight Bastion Swift, now known as Sir Bastion." I then offer the sword to Sir Bastion. He takes it, a little astonished. Satisfied, I trun around and say cheerfully "Well, this is a training session, is it not? Back to work!" Then I speak to the girl that was injured. "And what is your name? " I say. She replies "Lily Zahra." "Ahh, and what would you like in return for your bravery?" I say. Lily says "My what?" "Your bravery." I repeat, "I saw that you had been fighting the brute too, when Sir Bastion could not continue." "Oh, well, I guess I did help a little bit." she said nervously. I give her a warm smile. "Come to the castle after training has ended today, and we shall discuss it," I say. Then I trun, gracefully, and head back to find my partner.

WHOO!!! I am beat! Sorry it took so long. Lemon Banana, I hope you're ok with Bastion becoming a knight and all. I hope I'm not abusing my position.  

I'm so glad this isn't over!

So, just wondering, who was Minerva's partner before the whole knighing act? The one who was good, but could use some expert advice? I was thinking it could be Mazie or someone new. What do you think?
