Chapter 19: Chapter 18
Ash left his jaw hanging as he took in the appearance of his teacher.
"Sasha Blade, I am half amazon, half-witch," said Blade. Her voice now made sense not muffled by the cloak.
She was an amazon, it made sense to him now.
"I suppose since you are the first student I have ever taught, it was time I was honest with you, you have impresses me Ash Blake with your quick progress, Derek might have just gotten lucky when he picked you as his apprentice," said Blade laughing whole-heartedly, she was relishing the effect she was having on him.
"Now stop gaping, and start practicing those forms I showed you," she said.
Ash had a mind of asking her to show the forms again, they had indeed completely left his mind for a moment, but he didn't dare. Blade didn't cover up again instead removed the cloak completely and stood with her arms on her side watching with a strict expression that he should start practicing. It was difficult to focus, in her presence, all her willpower that he had when he had first seen Aria and which he was proud of was worthless, probably because Sasha was wearing much less modest clothes, or because of her curvy assets.
But Ash went on, he was finally having some fun practicing these forms, as he couldn't wait to use these moves in real battle, he could see himself improving with every repetition, Sasha gave insightful instructions here and there. It was weird he was in the middle of an attack just half an hour ago and now he was training thousands of miles ago.
"What do you think the Goblins attacking so near the elven city means?" he asked while practicing the forms not looking at her.
"It isn't that surprising, as their population increases they are bound to get more confident and try to take more territory, it was bound to happen some time," said Blade.
"Farin thinks it's too soon, and they have never been this far without anyone noticing," said Ash.
"Well like I said, they are intelligent races, and elves have a common problem of underestimating other races," said Blade.
"Have you talked to Derek since?" he asked.
"Not really, he is in the south still," she said.
"How do you guys know each other?" asked Ash.
"That's a long story, we don't have time for right now," said Blade.
"Where are we?" asked Ash.
"It used to be a temple," said Blade.
"No, I mean where on the continent?" asked Ash.
"Near the fairy lands, where amazons live," said Blade.
"I thought amazons used other kinds of magic, you know for battle and stuff," said Ash.
"Yes, but as I said I am half witch," replied Blade.
"Is that common?" asked Ash.
"No," she said curtly.
He stopped asking questions after that and focused back on the forms. By the time Sasha was satisfied with his form, he was exhausted and his muscles were aching hard.
"That was more difficult than I expected," he said, some of his cuts had opened back up after all the moving around.
"Yeah, but I am happy with your progress, but you should be careful using those moves, especially with those injuries. come to think of it, I might have an idea," said Blade.
"What is it?" asked Ash.
"Well since you are so fast at absorbing manna..." she said thinking.
"Follow me," she said and turned to walk out of the ruins. Ash was surprised at that, he thought whatever magic she had put in place only worked in the ruins. He ran after her and followed her out of the ruins, the ruin was in a clearing in a forest.
"The time spell won't work for long out here, you would have to get back soon," she said walking ahead. Ash stared at her backside, it was a great view.
They came upon another clearing, and he heard voices as he came into the clearing as well. He found himself in front of a small pond and in the pond were several women naked and bathing. There was water coming down from a mountain above, and around the waterfall in the mountain, a statue was carved of a woman, most likely an Amozonian goddess. He was shocked by the place and the naked amazons even more, he didn't know where to look.
"The waters of Ruhalla, they are magical," said Sasha. Ash was too flushed to focus.
"Sasha!" someone shouted nearby, Ash turned to see a woman even taller than Blade, and naked, walking up to them with a look of anger on her face. She was also just as ripped as Sasha and big. Ash thought he was going to get in serious trouble for peeping.
"What are you doing, bringing a man here?" asked the woman.
"This is the student I had started teaching that I was telling you about earlier Yuri, and he is only eighteen barely a man yet," said Sasha.
"Why did you bring him here these are sacred grounds?" said Yuri.
"As I told you, he is Derek's apprentice, and since I owed him a favor, he became my student too, but then he had to leave for the elven kingdom, so his destiny brought him to the temples, and I have started teaching him our way of fighting and I think he is worthy of it, and these waters are meant for warriors who worship Ruhalla, and training Ruhalla's teachings is the best kind of worship," said Sasha.
Ash had no idea what was going on, it was all the same honor and tradition talk that he was used to with the elves as well, and anyway he was distracted by all the breasts.
"If he steps in these waters, then he will have a permanent relationship with the amazons he would have to follow our customs and respect our traditions," said Yuri.
"He will," said Sasha. Yuri glanced at him for a moment then left.
"What customs am I following exactly?" asked Ash.
"Don't worry, just stay by my side and you will be fine, now let's see what soaking in these waters does to a human," said Sasha and gestured for him towards the pond. Ash gulped, he was already processing all the skin and hotness around, taking off his clothes was too much, and he wasn't in an appropriate state at the time.
"Don't take too much time, you don't want too many eyes on you, these women don't see men too often, there will be a big crowd of them soon if you don't hurry," said Sasha.
Ash thought it was a different culture, and he would have to just get over his embarrassment, nobody knew him here and he had to get back soon. So he pulled his shirt over, he had long cuts all over, and he was thin but had started to develop some muscle. He felt some eyes on him. He grabbed his pants and took them off in a hurry and jumped in the pond. The water was warm and bubbly. He groaned with pleasure as the warmness relaxed his muscles and his scars tinged a little.
"Anything happening yet?" came Sasha's voice right behind him, he turned around in surprise to find Sasha naked and in the water just behind him. She turned her neck back pulled her hair free and enjoyed the warm water. Ash was at eye level with her amazing breasts.
"Yeah I do feel something happening," he said.
