Lux woke up startled. She was having reoccur dreams of battling her assassin. It had been a week from the first encounter and she hadn't told anyone. She was constantly training to defend herself, if she was to meet him again. She couldn't rely solely on her magic, she needed something more. She tried a bow and arrow, Ashe had taught her some tips. She wasn't awful with it, just not enough to stop an attacker. She had tried a sword, she was too weak to wield it well enough. She sighed looking at the weapons she had. She picked up a small dagger. It would fit perfectly onto her belt and she knew a little self-defense that she could work the blade into the movements. She slipped it under her belt, next to her water jug and walked out of the room. It was nice out and she'd rather practice in the warmth and the light. The training field was empty and she was glad not to embarrass herself in front of her comrades. She walked across the field to the small section with dummies. She set her staff and water jug against a nearby tree, giving her plenty of movement to practice the motions. She walked out to a dummy and start running through the motions she remembered.
Little did she know, he was watching her, studying her. She had been practicing every day since he first visited her that night. He was perched in a tree waiting to study her more. She was all he could think about, those blue eyes looking at him. He watched her exit the training building and approach the field. He was surprised when she put her staff down under his tree. Curious he watched her leave her staff and walk towards the dummies. She never went anywhere without her staff, he had begun to notice. He watched her pull the blade off her belt and start running through some self-defense steps. She wasn't very good at it, she relied on her magic too much. He chuckled and jumped down from the tree.
"You're going to need more practice with that if you're learning to defend me against me." She spun around and faced him.
