Chapter 25: Lesson Two: Chief

"So, what are we going to learn today?" Christine asked one morning, approaching Erik on the training field. It had been a week since he started training her and he was impressed how quickly she picked on some things.

"Today, you are going to train with Tor." He answered as Tor walked over.

"I am?" She asked, making him nod.

"Aye, you are with me today." Tor answered her. Giving him the okay, Erik returned to join the others to train. "Are you ready?" He asked her.

"I guess. May I ask what I will be working on today?" She asked him, curious on what he'll teach her.

"Well Erik has taught you how to defend yourself, correct?" She nodded. "We won't be doing that." Her eyes narrowed, trying to understand. "How do you think Erik became a Phantom?"

"He told he was selected by Bruce after seeing him perform at the Highland Games." Christine answered, remembering the story.

"Each one of these men were selected by Bruce because of a specific skill they had. Each of them are the best in their field. To be chosen to be a Phantom is a great honor, the highest really in Scotland." He explained.

"All of you were picked by Bruce?" He nodded. "You have to be chosen to become a Phantom? You cannot just decide one day to become one?"

"Right. And if you make through my training, you earn that honor." He looked at her. "Now, let's begin your training."

"You won't punish me for hitting you, will you?" She asked nervously. She still felt bad that she did it.

"No." He answered. "Go warm-up with Hawk." He ordered, motioning towards the warrior who was waiting. Nodding, she walked over to Hawk who helped her warm-up. She wondered what Tor was planning on training her.

Once her warm-up with finished, she noticed a few of the warriors had stopped training and were standing with Tor, Erik included. Slowly walking over, she was curious on what they were planning. Standing in front of him, she couldn't help but feel more nervous training with Tor than she did with Erik. She knew that Tor trained each of the warriors, perfecting their skills.

"Ready?" He asked her.

"What am I training?" She asked.

"Your skill." He answered, making her brows frown. "You don't know what it is?" She shook her head. "From what I heard, you are very good at sneaking around." Her cheeks blushed, knowing Erik told him about all those times. "Not to mention you managed to sneak all of us out of England."

"I hardly would call that a skill though." She shrugged shyly. "Is that what I'll be training?" He nodded, making her curious on why he wanted to train her on that.

"Now, let's begin." He ordered and her training began. He had her explain her experience of sneaking around from the days in the prison to when she helped them escape England. Though he admit she was good, it was also luck that she got away with it. For the next couple of hours, he worked on her movement, teaching how to silence her steps. A few times, he let her stop to check up on Isla who was with Arrow's wife for the day. By the end of the day, she could almost sneak up behind Erik...almost.

Over the next couple of days, Tor was in charge of training her. Erik took off to watch Isla for Christine. He figured he'd spend as much as he could because he knew when the war would begin, he would away from her and who knows how long that would be. Christine would spend all day with Tor and some of the warriors, from sunrise to sunset, taking breaks to check on Isla and feed her. Tor taught her everything; how to use a tree as protection, the way to make your movements silent on different surfaces, different kinds of weapons and how they can be used. She took everything in, soaking it up like a sponge. He was impressed with how well she was picking up on things. However, he knew it would take months of training and they didn't have months. For the first time, he would have to hope that she was ready.

Do you think Tor is planning on making Christine a Phantom? Find out soon...
