Sir Brex

"Ahhh, oh shoot, sorry!!" you groan out as your eyes look at the person you just ran into. "Oh, hello Sir Brex!"

“Ah, Sir Darien!" he nods at you "Good job in the tournament! You won a lot of tough fights and you went farther than I ever did.” he reaches his hand out gripping your forearm and giving you a good shake. “I also hear you gave Commander Rixx one hell of a fight. Now that’s not an easy feat.”

“Thank you Sir Brex, yeah he was a great opponent but..." you scratch the side of your head "I still lost though. But enough about that, what's over is over! I was planing on going to train for a while care to join me?”

“I would, but I’m on guard duty.”

Realizing that your Lady Karisi champion that means you get perks. You figure if you asked Sir Brex to spar with you for training purposes then Karisi wouldn't care if he wasn't on guard.

“Non sense!" you shrug at the warrior "If Lady Karisi brings it up I’ll tell her you were training with me and nd since I’m her champion she will understand.” you say with a wink.

With a hearty laugh Brex nods at you and together the two of you begin walking towards the courtyard. It's not long before you are exiting the house and drawing your short sword and dagger combo. "Let's do this!" you crouch down getting into a ready position.

In response, Brex lifts his sword.

There is no doubt in your mind how good of a warrior Sir Brex, is. His attack’s are powerful yet accurate, but he's still not good enough to get in your guard. You quite easily dodge, parry and block all of his attacks with masterful precision.

Going on offense you attack with quick slashes, trying to find a opening in his guard. Noticing that there’s a slight hitch when he slashes from his right shoulder down, using this advantage, the next time he strikes you roll towards him, slashing at his leg, effectively dodging his strike and also landing one of your own.

The Fighting continues with out ether of you gaining a inch. Blows were traded but nothing that would have been fatal. That is, until he feigns a slash left only to changed it to the right, striking you across your leather chest piece and going though your armor. The unexpected strike knocking you to the ground.

Getting up though the pain, "Ughhh..." you drop your sword and place your hand over the wound "Nice moves..." you continue to rub your body, trying to get rid of the slight pain filled sensation. "I think that's good for the night." you smirk. "Thank you, Brex!"

The two of you shake hands once more, enjoying the training of one another before you start to make your way back in to the house. You began thinking about how far you are from being strong enough to get Claire back, but not getting discouraged as every hour, every day, you get closer to reaching your goal.

Walking into the house, you immediately start walking towards your room. Getting a house servants attention telling them to wake you up in a few hours. As you reach your room you patch up your wounds, change your clothes and crash backwards onto the bed.

Next thing you know all you know is Darkness...
