So after Gregory and the guys built the required items to make weapons and shields and armor they has us all make our own swords. We practiced with them every day. We learned how to sharpen them, we learned how to clean them. and we learned how to fix them as well.
Then two weeks after this all started Damon, Gregory, and Lucian had everyone pair off with someone else and we ran through drills. They showed us the proper was to hold the sword in order to strike, defend, and attack. Over all I think everyone did okay. We definitely need to practice a lot more.
Gregory measured every person in town to start making armor. I watched him make the first set of armor, I was amazed at how thin it was. But he swears it will work just as well as the regular sized stuff. It takes him another month to finish making everyone's armor. Once he hands it out he has everyone put it on. He wants to check the fit I guess.
Once we all have it on he has us all line up and he pulls here and there. He checks the hinges, tugs things down to make sure it's big enough. Then he has us take it off. He tells us he will be back around later to make adjustments.
Once the adjustments are all made they make us wear our armor during every practice. It is interesting watching the people get used to wearing this stuff and moving at the same time. Even I have to get used to it again.
As another month passes I can see a lot of improvement in everyone. I am amazed by the girl's. They seem to be making the most improvement. They are becoming very quick. They are showing mastery of the sticks and daggers. They still need to work on their sword play, but it's coming along nicely.
During a weekend training session everyone stops dead as two cars pull into the road. The drivers turn off their cars and everyone gets out. Right away I feel the pull. They are more of our lost dragons. Gregory and the guys step forward, but I step in front of them," Hello, it is nice to see you all. Come join the group. Right now we are training. I won't expect you to join today, but by the end of the week you must join the group. Now what are your names please?"
" Your majesty I am Armand, and this is my wife Talia and these are our three children. Andrew, Mark, and Megan."
"Talia I remember you. You used to work in the palace kitchens right? And you used to volunteer at the clinic. So this is your husband, it's so nice to finally meet you. Your children are triplets I take it."
"Yes my queen, I'm so glad you remember me. Yes this is my husband and the tree kids were born here. I'm so glad your ok. Or at least alive. The Dragon God pushed us to come. At first he said we had time then a month ago he wouldn't stop till we left, so here we are."
" Well we are glad your here. it's wonderful having our people together again. Would the kids like to go hang out with kids near their own age?"
"That would be great your Highness thank you."
Then the three kids went over to talk to the others. After that the people from the next car came forward.
"My queen I an Brittany and this is Allie. Our friends are Steven and Daniel. We used to work with the animals."
"Yes I remember you all. You were so young then you have grown into fine men and women. It's nice to have you home."
After that we showed them all the houses and the moved in. The teens all hung out together for a while and got to know each other. Then everyone went in for the night.
