Training with mom

The following morning, I wake up in cold sweat again. That same dream. Why is it always about a woman telling me to find her? Haven’t I already found my girl with Mia?

“Good morning, Darx.” I hear Mia’s voice.

Wait. Mia’s voice? In my room?

In an instant I am fully awake and see Mia, in full adventuring gear, sitting on a chair next to my bed.

“Ho-How did you get here?” I ask.

“Your mom let me in.” Mia said with a worried look. “She told me you were still asleep so I asked if I could help you wake up. But you were all tossing and turning. Did you have a bad dream?”

“Yeah.” I answer. “A recurring one.”

I then tell Mia all about my nightmare. What I see, hear and how I’ve been having it since I was very little.

“I see. Sounds like it’s something serious.” Mia replies.

I shake my head and say, “Nah, I’ve gotten used to it.”

Mia comes in close and smiles. “Don’t worry, Darxie. One day, you will go to sleep with me lying next to you. Then I will wrap my arms around you and I will keep your nightmares away.”

Mia? In my bed? Her arms around me? Imagining it all is getting my dick to rise to attention. Knowing Mia, that may just be her goal. You know, getting me ready so she can have sex with me again. Especially when she is saying it this close to me.

Then Mia stands u and says, “Anyways, we should get ready for training. I’ll be downstairs with your mom. Do be sure to take a bath first, though. See you later.”

And then Mia leaves me alone with my erection. Did she not notice? After she closed the door behind herself, I groan. Well, she definitely succeeded in getting me up. Man, I didn’t know she could be such a tease.

I get out of bed and bathe like Mia suggested. When I’m ready I head downstairs and see mom and Mia talking. But mom is also geared up in her armor. I thought she wasn’t training Kase anymore.

“Darx! Your mom is going to train us today! Isn’t that amazing!?” Mia shouts joyously when she sees me.

I close my eyes for a moment and sigh.

“Mom, you don’t have to do this. Life is hard enough on you already. You don’t need to make it any harder on yourself for my sake.”

“Sorry, Darx. But I won’t accept a no this time.” Mom says sternly. “Kase is already good enough to face off against a D rank. I am confident he will get C rank or higher. Now imagine yourself in the capital 6 months from now and Kase still has that grudge against you. Then, when you get into a fight with him, I won’t be there to save you.”

I get what she is saying. She’s worried about my safety. But still …

“I thought that last time you said we weren’t ready to be trained by you.” Mia then says.

Mom nods and replies, “When it comes to sparring with me, you are right. But I’ve thought about some other things we could do and I think I found something which is going to work.”

The three of us then head outside. I thought mom was going to take us into the forest and adventure with us, but I was wrong. Instead, the three of us go jogging. All around the village. In full adventuring gear.

“As adventurers, you will be expected to have endurance. Pace yourselves and keep it going for as long as you can.” Mom tells us.

We end up making three whole circles around the village before Mia and I both are too exhausted to go on. Both of us are drenched in sweat and too tired to talk. Mom instead looks like she can go for another round.

“Getting tired already?” Mom asks playfully.

“You’re a B rank, mom. That alone makes you stronger than us.” I say between breaths.

“True, and so will be all the other B ranks and higher in the city.” Then she leans in close and says, “But if you expect a B rank to not take advantage of his greater strength in combat and go easy on you just because your rank is lower, you will be sorely mistaken.”

Mom is right. Over there, it’ll be survival of the fittest. If I want to make certain Kase doesn’t pick another fight with me, I’ll need to have the strength to defeat him on my own.

After we have rested enough, mom makes us do squats. She does them along with us and again, she outlasts us.

Another break later come the sit ups and once more, mom beats us both.

I’m starting to think this is less about improving our bodies and more about making us understand how serious being an adventurer is. Even when Mia asks for a chance to take a bath because of how sweaty she has become, mom denies her.

“Adventurers sometimes get into situations where they are even dirtier than this and they are nowhere near any baths to clean themselves.” Mom tells her. “You’ll just need to learn to cope with it.”

Mom then leaves for the inn to get us some food and drinks. This leaves me the chance to ask Mia what she thinks about training with my mom.

“Your mom is a beast. I am now even more envious of her.” Mia says. “I know she’s doing it to improve my endurance. But I somehow also get the feeling she’s getting us so exhausted that we will no longer have the energy to fuck later.”

“Nooo, I think I’ll be too sore for that after this training.” I joke.

“She needn’t bother. I’m on my period right now. There wouldn’t have been any sex waiting for you anyways.” Mia explains. “By the way, this morning, I told your mom that Emma and Oliver have left for Tristanis.”

“I thought that was just for Fabe?” I ask curiously.

“It would be easier to trick him if we lie to everybody in the village. That way nobody can tell him the truth by accident.” Mia replies. “I’ve told my parents the truth though. About Fabe hurting her and eloping with Oliver to Riledo. Not about the baby. I also told them to trick Fabe into thinking Emma went to Tristanis by telling everybody in the village. Only us two, my parents and Oliver’s parents can know they are really in Riledo instead.”

“I see.” I say. “Alright, I’ll help keep the lie going.”

All of a sudden, we hear someone call us. Oh, is mom back already?
