Xaxis did the last thing I expected him to do, He gave me a hug.
“I will not lose you again. You are our future.”
Grab something to eat now, we need to start said’’ Xaxis.
“That was intense looking over at Z.
Yes, I agree, everyone is so serious.”
My brothers and the guards wait for me to grab a breakfast sandwich. Entering the training area was legit walking into a war room. Swords, axes and bows and arrows line the wall.
’Oh, look at all the pretties! ‘’ Z was young excited
Can you stop talking about weapons the way you talk about shoes Z.
‘’WOW they are prepared, are they not? said Z.
Bhaltair walks over and tells me I'll be paired up with Ezra and Z will be paired up with Bhaltair.
Getting in my stance across from Ezra, Xaxis walks over,
“Let’s see what you got little sister.”
Tossing Ezra over my shoulder onto the mat was amazing but terrifying.
“Shit Ezra are you ok?”
“Why are you asking him if he's ok, Aykiz? He's your enemy right now. Do not take your eyes from him. He's here to kill you. What do you do Aykiz? Asked Xaxis?”
I um!
“You finish him, Aykiz. Start again yells Xaxis in a thunderous voice.”
Shit my brother is scary!
Z walks over, “Remember your training, Aykiz. Stop thinking and react the way you were taught.”
“I don't want to hurt him Z, and I'm nervous as shit.”
“Right now, Aykiz he is your enemy.”
Ezra stop going easy on her, she can handle it. Said Z.”
Ezra gets up and gets in his stance, with a smirk on his face, let's see what you got Princess.”
I get into my stance ready to take Ezra down, he swings to hit me, I sidestep and sweep his feet out from under him. Ezra does a front flip, comes to his feet. Sweeping me off my mine, I hit the mat hard knocking the breath out of me. Ezra is pinning me to the ground with intent of hitting me, I realize I need to fight back to show these guys I can survive. I grab his arm and trap his feet; roll my hips and I pin him to the ground with a finishing move. Clapping starts and I pull Ezra to his feet, smiling at me.
“How did you know how to do that Aykiz?” Ezra asked in a breathless voice
“MMA training. I've been training since I was little.”
“You're amazing, Aykiz.”
. We were lost staring into each other's eyes when my brother walked up.
“Have you used weapons with your training? Asked Bhaltair? “
Not much!
