PATINA'S POINT OF VIEW:
All day I had used my force to it's extend, my limbs burned, but that did not stop me somehow, I was loving the pain with its burn, every time I collided my weapon with my opponent, I will let out screams produced by my anger.
The water has finally neutralized with my body temperature, it was me verse Armani as usual, he had given me enough lessons but today was the day I had cut ties with my best friend and I needed to feel the other pain the one that makes my heart heavy for cutting ties with Kane.
Armani grunts as he fall to the water getter washed by the wave, than he splashed water to my face while I thought he was on the ground for good while I tried to block the splashed water from blinding my face, I turned around that some of it mostly splashed on my back, when I turned back around swiftly a foot connected with my jaws making me stumbling back wards towards the deep where the waves are stronger, but I did not fall, he sprinted towards me as if the water were nothing with his speed and the weight, I took a deep breath quickly than I charged towards him ignoring any burning in my limbs than he charged with his fist aiming for my face but I moved a side, than I used my stick to hit at the back of his knee, he groaned as that knee became weak and he kneeled with it, but that did nit stop him from sticking my abdomen, and I screamed as I could not handle the pain it made me bow, just as I was doing so he raised his right fisted hand, he was about to give me a right upper cut but I was quick enough to step aside again and quickly opted for a spear, sending him to the ground and me on top of him, as the waves collided with us, and I coughed as I tried to stand, he was about to get up but I swiftly slide towards him ignoring the grazing happening on me knee than I gave him a heel kick in his forehead and he was done once again, in hopes that he would stay down and not getting up because I was getting tired and he did not. Finally, I let my body go as the water constantly washed over me.
Before I know it, we were taken out of the water by training mates, I was between two females my arms hanged on one of their shoulders, then I heard them clapping their hands, before I know it, they were chanting my name. ''PATINA, PATINA!!!'' it was great feeling but my body is so painful I could not handle it no more, so they let me sit on the ground, they fetched Armani as well and he was also in his worst but I was glad he was alive, he gave me a weak proudful smile and he nodded his head and I nodded mine as well. I guess he accepts defeat and we still going to be okey. He did not take the failure too personal.
***One more black paint was smeared by the forehead, two blacks were long smeared both in my cheeks but lower from my eyes, the last one was a red one, it was blue one placed between my eyebrows on the forehead, before I know it, they kneeled before me. Their commander placed a blue bangle on my left wrist, of which no one has it except my father. I felt pool of emotions take over, then tears started to stream down my cheeks, as irritating they were the commander raised my hand with a wrist bangle up in the air, as the warriors chanted my name.
I look up to the sky,
'Father, if you can hear me, I made it. Again.' The inner voice spoke,
But I got no answer, my heart ached but I was still contently happy.
***
Sooner or later, I had to be transferred to another training but I do not know which, we never get told, but I know there is no rest, something in me feels awaken, capable, the hunger to do more, the rush, to accept and to appreciate nature.
''how you feeling?'' Armani asked as he joined me by the ocean shore, the breeze was strong and fresh as always, we had celebrated and eaten,
''not bad, you?'' I asked.
''I feel good.'' He admitted.
''so, is it only me who goes?'' I asked as I look at the others,
''for now, yes, it is,'' he nodded.
I sighed. '' I hate being new all the time,'' I confessed.
''no need to worry, I will come to the next training, I could see that we will get along very well, oh and one last thing, Rebecca is waiting for you.'' He notifies.
Damn it! The training made me forget about that, but I am glad Armani reminded me.
''you ready,'' he asked with a mischievous glare.
''let's go, before it's too late.'' I spoke.
***
After he had excused himself to the commander, we ran towards the waterfall, I tried not to think of the worst, today someone will sleep with a sore body than the first training stage. When we got there, she was tied down, he seems to have fallen asleep.
My mouth gaped as I looked at Armani with a puzzled look.
''relax, this is a forbidden area, besides the sun is setting no one dares to crosses here too, so do what you must before something erupts, this place gives me chills.'' Armani said as he looked around.
Rebecca the bully opened her eyes, she opened them even wider, probably she remembers this face, I smirked.
''well, we meet again,'' I said as I roughly raised her up with my hand on her long silk hair, she moaned in pain,
''my - my princess I am sorry,'' she pleaded in between her moans as I tighten my grip on her hair,
''too late'' I said as I throw her to the water from the water fall that still steamed, I watched as she fell screaming, one splash and it was quiet. When I turned around, Armani looked like he would pee himself. ''this stays between us.'' I spoke. ''yes, my princess.'' He nodded than he bowed than lastly, we parted.
