"Again Ikarus"
"Sure sure!"
Out in the middle of the woods, and Petra are currently sparring against each other and things have been getting pretty intense right now. The clashing of steel probably rings all throughout the woods as well.
You see, this ti around I'm doing so slightly new training with Petra and I'm currently dual wielding. I'm my left is the good and always proven vampiric blade and in the right is sothing we picked up back in the monastery. The tallic sword Excalibur is finally getting a run out.
The way we're doing it this ti around is that I have the first swing, then she counters and we see how the spar goes from that. It's safe to say I've had my arse kicked multiple tis already but I'm not getting sat down instantly like usual.
It's been a flurry of dodging and countering for the most part but she hasn't gotten her sword to my neck this ti just yet. The thing about using Excalibur is that it really presents so interesting fight moves. Unlike a regular sword, it seems to have a slight magical effect that happens every swing. This sword is actually the reason why we're not in my head space training area right now, it's the first ti it's being used so copying sothing over you're not experienced with would be a little stupid. Everything does have to be created inside there after all.
Every swing from the blade fires off a magical beam that seems to do so HP damage in the direction of the swing. It doesn't seem to be able to cut through anything and Petra can easily block it with her blade but it still has its uses. I can basically use this sword like a ranged weapon if I want so backing off and keeping the distance is a valid strategy, it matters little towards the beast Petra who can close down anyone in a split second though.
And that's what she's done right now with her samurai blade swinging in from above, I swear we both are getting riskier with the type of attacks we do but we should be skilled enough not to kill each other.
Without any warning though, Excalibur briefly shines from my block and Petra gets thrown back from so sort of pushback! It doesn't push her over but she is partially crouched over just ahead of and even had her spare hand on the floor, never knew the sword did that as well.
"You alright Petra? That looked like it hurt"
"Heh, perfectly Ikarus. It turns out that sword had more secrets then realized, looks like I can try a little harder"
"H-Hang on... what does that an Petra?"
"Heh, don't worry about it, just focus Ikarus"
She's even gone black eyed mode on now! The sword has also reacted gleaming just as brightly as beforehand constantly keeping up that glow. I'd be pissing myself looking into those lifeless eyes right now if it wasn't for the fact she also is smiling. How anyone can not feel fear fighting for real against that is madness to .
Petra instantly changes up her approach aiming for my left side and there's only so much my dagger can do before it ends up being pointless, no defence is capable of withstanding multiple attacks happening in split seconds of themselves. Once again, it's my loss with her sword resting firmly against my neck, I didn't even see that second and third attack go in then! She really is unbeatable.
"You know just how freaking terrifying it is to face you like that, right? It's like fighting a wild beast or dog!"
"Heh... I'll try and take that as a complint Ikarus, even if you just compared to a dog"
"You know it was ant in a nice way though... Besides, if you were a dog, you'd be all mine to pet, or that could be your nickna as well!"
...
What I just said sounds so idiotic! Why the hell can't I co out with so smooth line or flirt properly!? I wanted to use pet like how her na is Petra but it just ca out weird and all it's done is made her chuckle.
"Heh... you really are terrible at this. If we're really doing this though Ikarus, can't imagine how cute you'd be wagging your tail with a couple of ears on your head. My heart might lt at that thought, giving you a head pat as well would be too much"
See? Why couldn't I have co up with sothing like that!? Petra would be a cute puppy as well but there's no chance I could ever say that smoothly...
"It's so freaking unfair how easily you can co out with shit like that..."
"Heh... we should probably continue again though"
Ah yeah, she is in black eyed mode as well, nearly forgot what we were out here for in the first place...
__________
"Damn it! Even with this freaking sword, you still always best with no issues"
It shouldn;t be too hard to tell what's happened. Even with having a sword that can push her back, all she needs to do is avoid colliding with it and focus elsewhere. If anything, this might be backfiring on . Having this sword makes Petra put more effort in unfortunately, it makes want to throw it away in protest.
“No need to beat yourself up Ikarus, I’m trying harder now and you can even defend for over a minute... want a hand?”
Like how I always seem to sulk when training, I'm currently lying flat on the floor. Eh, at least I'm not out of breath this ti around but I'm not sure if I want to lose another round again to her.
"Sur-..."
I take her hand and then imdiately find myself being forcibly dragged towards her mouth without warning. I always make things out to sound weird or terrible but that one did seem a little more forceful than usual.
It's fucking strange I prefer these types of kisses more than normal ones, is it because it catches off guard? Regardless, the proper kissing is always a little more exciting if I don't expect it... that sounds really weird and suspect. I think it's because Petra can sense what I'm into really...
I also like how she initiated this kiss with black eyes, we obviously went through the epic mouth action both keeping them closed, then it returns to the normal boring shade of blind grey I love.
"Stutter for Ikarus"
"W-What? Damn it! Is t-that why you do it like this?"
"Heh, not sure what you an"
I can't get rid of that fucking after kiss stutter it seems! I swear she's getting worse again, it's almost as if it's a competition of seeing how much she can fluster . I've never understood what part of brain tells ... Hey Ikarus! Evil Petra and her never ending evilness is literally the most attractive thing in the entire world!
"Anyways... what are we doing next then? We're not training anymore if you're going to start getting all handsy"
"Heh, we should probably start to help out the training of soldiers Ikarus, it never hurts to have more able-bodied n and won after all if an invasion is incoming"
Oh great, this is sothing I've now been dreading if I'm being honest. The thought of having to go through the basics with soone less skilled than sounds like a waste of ti. I obviously know it isn't but do I seriously seem like soone suitable for teaching soldiers how to fight?
This is just one of the plans to prepare for the demon invasion that has already been set in motion, this won't actually take too much of our day up but still.
"You mind if I sit this one out Petra? It's not like I'm going to be much help really"
"Heh, you'd really rather go off by your loneso instead of helping train them Ikarus? Have you grown tired of already?"
Is she doing the guilt treatnt thing? Nah, she's just being a windup today.
"Of course not! What I ant is, can I watch you while you kick the shits out of the new recruits? I'm getting bored of swinging swords now"
Even when I give a perfectly valid counter, she still can't switch it off! I know for a fact Petra doesn't care about training the troops by herself.
"Heh, so you plan on being the queen who watches while I slug it with the troops? Feel like we're going to have to doll you up if you're going to take a sideline approach Ikarus, make you all pretty if you want to do that"
'She's just as weird as at tis...'
"I think that's called being a trophy wife? Why am I even focusing on that? I don't care, I'll happy sit back and watch you any ti of day!"
"Heh, really Ikarus? What do you want to watch doing?"
The way she's said that seductively... Oh! That's why she's being weird, Petra's in the mood and for so reason seems slightly awkward with it today. Maybe she's just trying to hide it behind the teasing and it's coming across right weird. I love our stupid relationship dynamic at tis.
Should probably keep it in out pants for the ti being though, we have done it in the woods before but not really the ti right now...
Oh, did I forget to ntion that ti? Eh, it's not like I should say every ti we do sothing... right? Every ti with Petra is majestic and happens pretty often so can't be incriminating myself every ti. It's mostly just that the stranger or newish stuff end up being more noticeable if you catch my aning...
"Petra... might not be the best mont for you know what"
"We still have so ti Ikarus. It's not like they can really moan at the two queens turning up a little late, can they?"
Look at Petra being naughty abusing our roles like that, we're slacking off on our duties to roll around in the foliage... it's a sha I'm so damn easy...
"Ah... fine then..."
__________
"Listen up everyone! There is no right mont to slack off even during training so if I see anybody doing it, I promise you will regret it"
'That's what she said... I hate myself at tis'
Petra now commands the crowd of recruits all paying extre attention to her, none trying to appear disrespectful all filled with eyes of awe. It's really quite the strange sight but my brain is still a little high on dopamine right now. Little weak in the knees as well...
After doing sothing not suitable for younger viewers, there was no chance I was going to help train this ti around so I'm just going to stand here looking pretty and smiling while she starts to teach the new recruits. Maybe we can do a good cop, bad cop routine to them later one day but this probably isn't a situation to be ssing around.
I'm probably looking a little too happy right now, I can't control my facial muscles, alright!? It wouldn't surprise if Petra watches sleep normally after the sessions we do as I'd probably do the sa if she smiled like this. Stop fangirling over your girlfriend Ikarus! Seriously though, there's other things to look at...
We're actually at a little training yard on the island that holds the mine and the Magi guild tower right now, a makeshift temporary bridge has already gone up in the channel making this slightly easier to cross so it makes sense why things are starting to be built out here as well. Having recruits train their strength using and being around the mine is never a bad idea too.
"All of you! Pair up, grab a training blade and start sparring so I can see how sloppy your forms are"
She's obviously going to be a natural at this, it almost sounds like she could be a drill sergeant drilling the troops. I'm so freaking lucky I get extre favouritism from her but that still doesn't stop from getting beaten ti to ti as well... I know how that sounds but you all know what I an.
All the trainees have done as ordered grabbing swords and are now wailing on each other... they really aren't that good it looks. Petra's already started to go around to certain people and guide them on what to do, can't hear what she's saying but it must be good advice if it's coming from her.
My advice to them would be get good kid... I joke, but giving advice on swords sounds terrible. I could imagine myself telling them to get faster and stronger and that's pretty much the limit to my knowledge on it...
Anyways, while I'm watching Petra give so of the trainees and trainers a hand, a familiar face walks up to from soone I haven't seen in quite a while. Normally, soone else goes to pay the miners now so he's normally off working deep in the earth.
"Jaxon! What brings you out into the light? Us surface dwellers aren't scaring you too much, right?"
The scrawny brown haired mine master finally leaves the mine joining us surface dwellers, it still makes no sense how he's able to mine being that skinny but he does have a conditional Ikarus. Don't be ntioning sothing like that again.
"Funny ma'am. I ca looking for you two queens-... you have a few leaves and a twig in your hair"
Do I? Damn that Petra! She let walk over here knowing full well I didn't realize I must've have picked them up from our little playfight in the woods...
Shaking my head full of sha, I continue the conversation knowing full well Petra needs moaning at later on. At least Jaxon didn't question why I had so much in my hair I guess, maybe he's purposely not asking...
"Don't you be starting that ma'am and queen thing too kid. What did you want us for?"
"There's sothing in the mine you might want to check out Ikarus. It's not really a problem, just sothing a little weird has been going on lately"
"Okay then... you know what? Petra's too busy right now so I'll co with you alone then"
This is her punishnt for not telling my hair was a ss. I say punishnt, all this will probably be is work for to do alone...
__________
"Just how far down is this Jaxon?"
"Not that much further Ikarus, we're already gone past section sixty-four. You'll get used to the burning sll soon"
Having walked down the endless tunnels that adorn this place, once again the mine is looking more and more complex but there's no real point going too heavily into it. I have no idea how these miners navigate this place at this point.
He does have a point about the sll though, I'm currently following Jaxon into one of the deepest tunnels and presumably the burning for light does that. There are other ways you can light up things in this world other than fire but this tunnel does look more makeshift than the others so they probably haven't got around to it yet.
Eventually, we arrive at so boarded off sub-section and I can't help but think of a video ga quest this reminds of. No idea which though.
"If you start to tell there's gigantic blood sucking spiders down there, get another pest exterminator!"
"-Ikarus- is making joke target -Jaxon- wouldn't understand"
Ah yeah, I forgot to ntion Aesa fancied coming out to play for a little bit on the journey over to the mine so we activated doppelganger. That was definitely a weird experience for Jaxon realizing I had a 'twin' that randomly showed up in the middle of nowhere. I did make sure that he didn't see her naked before putting clothes on though, the clone body is the exact sa as mine after all. She's back in that pink dress that was bought for my birthday as it kinda suits her... or . Jaxon's reaction was a little boring if I'm being honest though.
I have zero ideas why Aesa wanted to do this considering she seed to hate being in a human looking body but if the robotic wife is happy, then no complaints on my side.
"Okay, it's nothing like that though. As for the concern, follow and you'll understand. A lot of the miners have been hearing voices down here recently..."
