" So we gonna train here? Master Luka?" Amaris asked as he was sightseeing at the sea as its waves waves slamming down at the shore with his hands occupied with the bastons and the breeze wind coming from the east hmm such relaxing atmosphere also the sun is going to rise soon as the sky at the east is almost pinkish-red then I turned around looking at him as our barefoot at the sand at sometimes being soaked by the sea water.
" We will train here for the last days of your training in my custody, starting from 6 in the morning to 6 in the evening I guess a little starving would be good for more training experience now, are you ready." I replied as I grip tightly at my bastons yet Amaris already have his posture done and hmm his footwork seems we know already what I'm going to teach.
" I understand Master Luka, now shall we start." he have his feet on a horizontal line with his right hand forward with baston up-ward and with his left hand backward with his baston down-ward then his eyes focused on my entire body he was inhaling & exhaling slowly hmm so a serious training should be started now.
" You need to learn right now are the Triangular & Diagonal Footworks and a striking technique called Puno." I said while my right foot at the back with my left foot forth forming a diagonal line and my hands holding my bastons as I move my arms back bend them a bit with my bastons on a diagonal direction then my right foot go take a step forward together with my strike in a diagonal way from his left shoulder down to his right hips yet Amaris took action.
He was striking back with his bastons in a path of a pair of infinity signs as his left starts from the upper-left and go down to the lower-right then whatsoever while his right starts from the upper-right and go down to the lower-left then continue as we striking in the form of two infinity signs countering my attack yet the movement of his feet are both triangular & circular footworks mixed.
" Master I just tried these striking technique after you taught me of Redonda and as I know some other swordsmanship I mix some and resulting for this." He muttered as his right foot step forward at the center and his left foot step forward then his right do the same as he form another horizontal line for a sec as his left took the position of his right earlier as his striking continues going faster both offensive & defensive hmm the triangle footwork is a square-shaped box marked with an "X" inside it thus dividing the box into four joined triangles like what he was doing right now.
" I'm impress of your own development yet, you still have more rice to eat to surpass me Amaris." I uttered as my right foot step forward and my left foot goes back always at the form of a diagonal line with my striking going towards his left or right shoulder downwards to his right or left hips yet he was moving around too doing the circular footwork after finishing 2 - 4 patterns of the Triangular footwork as he was moving around twice and then repeat his first footwork earlier ohh he was cornering me as the sands on our feet flying up together with the sea water making our ground wet and kind of sinking.
" Thank you Master Luka but, I am not fond with rice hehe." He and his philosophical mindset as usual as the direction of his strikes changed both of his bastons goes now at the same flow of their infinity sign and he was moving forward going closer to me without breaking the pattern of his footworks combo then he suddenly use the butt of the bastons and strikes it aiming to nerve point & soft spots.
" Ohh so I don't need to explain how Puno works cause, you're already doing aren't you hahaha." He makes me a laugh a bit as my disciple is evolving well enough as days passing by haha now let us see if from the start until now you truly learned something I have a smirked at my face as I do a linear footwork with the direction of my strikes same as the first week then will suddenly change with moving around or the circular footwork and striking him with redonda & abanico techniques together with changing again to a diagonal footwork with puno striking and the thing I still didn't teach him, San Miguel.
San Miguel is a forehand strike, shifting from the right shoulder of the striker on the way to the left hip or vice versa.
" Master Luka thanks for everything and, why you didn't teach me this." He smiled as I was going to the strike my right baston towards his right shoulder down to his left hips as carried out a strike through trashing the stick or the baston around the wrist above the head I move back dodging it, Pilantik.
Pilantik" is a strike carried out through thrashing the stick around the wrist above the head, resembling a strike in a way an abanico is being used, but in irregular, three hundred degree strikes. It's most helpful when combatants are in a grappling range, and cannot make adequate space for regular strikes.
So he learned it by himself without me and impressive after countering me with Pilantik he was now a copycat of me earlier doing the same thing from our first day until this day right now, hahaha yet there are still flaw on his combo he will enhance it I'm patience and more training this man no this person can surpass me for sure as he jumped forth with his bastons raising it up striking downward from both right & left shoulder to my left & right hips huh? a double San Miguel striking technique it leave my shoulder a tiny bit scratch I my bastons counter it with a form of a downward V then as I spread it like a wing.
" Fabolous hahaha Amaris you are truly a vessel of surprise! now shall we see who will truly win." I am his master and training him for almost a month now makes me happy and I guess I am being trained too especially this person for sure will be the founder of new things hahaha I am learning more and more cause at the same time I feel like I am being enlighten.
" Thank you Master Luka for the compliment but, I still have many steps to take before the complete surprise." Earlier he was being philosophical but right now he just said the same thing I meant towards him hahaha what are you, Amaris.
We continue fighting for hours as the sun going up higher at the sky and the sunlight hitting our skin and the wind coming from the sea getting stronger and warmer with the sand on our feet hahaha he even added some dirty tricks while sparring for hours now, suddenly the wind is getting colder as the sky getting darker ohh the sun is almost going to his slumber now at the west yet both of us sweating a lot together with our stomach starving and pfft groaning hahaha, together with our breathing getting heavier and heavier as we are even using our feet now on sparring hahaha Eskrima or Arnis with dirty tricks.
Fun? no it's FUN! hahaha both of us are laughing as we are enjoying our time together and he didn't the two of us are drenched now by the sea water as we moving towards the yet continuously sparring getting faster and faster as he even tripped at the sea yet, no one is giving up to be hit by another hahaha until the sun already go down and our bastons broen many times another draw hahaha it is fun truly.
6 in the evening had already arrived as we go back to the shore and sat down or lay down our body at the sun gazing at the night sky both of us have a smile and taking a rest for a hour only then gonna eat we are, STARVING pfft HaHaHa as we are both resting I realized something yet I still wanna ask him.
" Amaris, why did you decided to be the Empress of Acun?" I asked the thing I realized is his mind, his actions, his words, and more that is not just the same as the Leaders of per empires, a leader may answered for the people of his/her empire, or for salvation from the "evildoers", or for greed, or for divine duty, yet Amaris is different.
Amaris have a smile on his face as he turn his head to the side glancing at me and he open his mouth as his words comes out and my ears no my entire self hahaha feel satisfied with his answer.
" For the future of a Unified Eclorld." He didn't just became the empress for Acun he became a empress or a Leader for the whole world or the Eclorld not world dominance but, World Unity.
" Then, I, will wait to witness my disciple achieving the greatest impossible yet, possible to you or to everyone right?" I stood up and shaking my body cleaning away the sand and Amaris smack my back for pfft HAHAHAHA he have his mouth open I didn't notice some sands goes in.
We continue having a conversation even when the time we take our meals we truly HUNGRY! as we eat a lot and we both look like a boat while munching tons of foods hahaha and after eating we take a bath and rested yet, its been 2 hours already since the training ended I watch Amaris repeating our 12 hours in a slow-motion for a whole hour and the next hour he goes faster hmm after he do another training for 2 hours he just fallen asleep immediately.
Days passed or the whole month of training already passed as he just repeat everything in the start then enhance his flaw and enjoying before we go back at the palace I told him to heal his body, I don't wanna be abuse again no more! he did it and after a month of training at the same time the first ships dozens of it for the New Isleans Fleet are already done, everyone was extremely amazed as we tried it out already to see how its contribution to the empire will do.
" Empress Amaris, thank you very much for the gift you gave us and in the behalf of my whole family, please accept my thanks." I said as he was looking outside throw the window on this hallway and he smiled I look around what the servants & guards goes outside excited to see the upcoming & almost complete fleet.
" Your welcome and, Master Luka Narth thanks a lot for a month of training I appreciated it also it was fun a memory I will never forget." Amaris replied as he glance at me with his hand holding a cup filled with? blood I can smell many kinds of blood coming from different kinds of beast yet he take a sip of it and drinking it all in one gulp.
" What's the purpose of drinking blood right now?" I asked and he giggles as he put down the cup st the window then he wipes his lips.
" Nothing it just I have a certain theory and, Master Luka your Melena is searching for you." He said as he have a smirked how how! did he know!
" Ahh I be going now Empress Amaris." I uttered and immediate leaves him but he calls my name after a couple of meters are our distance to each other now.
" For the answer you seek from your question on the last day of training, What's your motto of leadership & people." He remarked as I stopped for the meantime and then I have a smile maybe one of the great smile I ever have as I go meet my future Melena hahaha sorry for doubting you Empress Amaris Herean.
" Unity doesn't need a Leader cause, True Unity needs Everybody." such absolute answer.
