"Form Jannes form" said Katarina as she lazily watched as Jannes and Jambres as sparred with each other with their swords.
Jannes stood up straight with his sword in his hand as he lunged at Jambres who blocked his sword with his as their bladed clashed.
"Enough" said Katarina as the both of them stopped as they turned to look at Katarina and they bowed at her.
"Firstly, Jannes, what sort of nonsense was that? I told you always, again and again, form, if you don't have good form, it won't matter just how skilled you are, you will be easily taken off guard" said Katarina.
"Yes Katarina" said Jannes as he nodded his head.
"And you Jambres, can you do something for once? You just looked like a scared little boy, holding a sword, be more confident, that is the only way that you will get better" said Katarina.
"Good, now the both of you can go now, we will have another lesson tomorrow, greet your parents for me" said Katarina.
"Thank you Katarina" said the both of them as they nodded and they bowed as Katarina walked away from them and she sighed as the both of them walked away.
Katarina removed her sword from its sheath as she was so upset this morning, she used her sword and she used to slash through a tree as the blade of her sword did not cut at all, and the tree was left with a scar of her blade, a new one added to the many others.
"You can come out now" said Katarina as she turned to the right and she heard a twig break as Maddie sheepishly laughed as she walked from behind the tree to Katarina.
"Didn't I tell you all to stay inside at all times? Why are you here then?" asked Katarina as she put her sword away and she looked at Maddie.
"How did you even notice that I was there?" asked Maddie.
"I didn't I noticed him" said Katarina as she pointed to the left and Ollie laughed sheepishly as he waked to Katarina.
"Blondie, just what Is wrong with you? I told you not to follow me!" said Maddie as she shouted at Ollie.
"Hey, hey, Maddie it is a free world, leave me alone, I don't have to listen to whatever you have to say" said Ollie as Maddie shouted at him.
"I should punch you, the maybe you will know how to control your mouth" said Maddie.
"Enough!" said Katarina as she hated these two, they behaved like little children.
"If you keep on going with this nonsense, I will slice off both your mouths" said Katarina.
"You won't actually do that" said Ollie as he knew that Katarina was not that crazy.
"Try me Ollie, just try me" said Katarina.
"Anyway, your sword fighting skills are very good" said Ollie as he smiled.
"How long have you been watching me?" asked Katarina.
"Not too long" said Ollie as he smiled.
"What do you want?" asked Katarina.
"I want us to have a duel" said Ollie as he smiled and Katarina looked at him.
"You?" asked Katarina.
"Yes" said Ollie as he nodded and he smiled and Katarina laughed.
"What's so funny?" asked Ollie as he smiled.
"No offence to you Ollie, but I doubt you know how to hold a sword, let alone have a duel with me" said Katarina as she laughed and Maddie begged to differ, she remembered the last time that Ollie fought with a shadow guard, but still, she did not think that he would be able to defeat Katarina.
"Well you won't know until you give me a chance" said Ollie as he smiled.
"Ollie, I am sure that you have better things to do" said Katarina.
"No I don't, and also, are you saying no because you are afraid of confrontation, or because you are doubting your own abilities to restrain yourself from hurting me" said Ollie as he smiled, and Katarina's eyes twitched at him, he was very annoying.
Ollie smiled, he knew just what to say to get under somebody's skin, something that he head to learn in order to be able to always have the upper hand in an argument.
"You know what, fine, let's duel" said Katarina as she smiled.
"Great" said Ollie as he smiled.
"Go and get a sword" said Katarina as she pointed to the open ground that she had cleared as her training ground.
"I have my own sword right here" said Ollie as he smiled and he walked behind the tree to get his sword as Katarina sighed.
"Blondie, you were planning this weren't you?" asked Maddie as Ollie just smiled.
"Alright then, let's duel" said Katarina as she walked to the grass and Ollie followed after her.
"I am not going to go easy on you" said Katarina as she brought out her sword.
"And neither am I" said Ollie as he smiled.
"Blondie, if you die, just know that I warned you" said Maddie as she smiled, she was going to have fun watching this, she was happy that Annie wasn't here to stop this, she wished that Katarina would teach Ollie a lesson or two.
Ollie just smiled as he bowed to Katarina and she bowed back to him as he held his sword tightly in his hand as he waited for Katarina to make a move, but Katarina was obviously waiting for him to make a move as well, so he decided to fulfil her wishes.
Ollie moved forward as he pointed his horse straight at Katarina's neck as she blocked his sword with her own as in the same moment she retracted her sword.
Ollie moved back as Katarina moved quicker and he was finding it difficult to keep on with her movements as he blocked her sword with his as their blades clashed they moved left and right as Ollie smiled and he almost knocked out Katarina's sword from her hand.
Katarina quickly recovered from that play as she took a firm hold of her sword and she pointed it back at Ollie as he bent down and he used his leg to sweep her off her feet as Katarina was taken by surprise and she fell down as Ollie smiled and he pointed his sword at her neck.
"Who taught you how to fight?" asked Katarina as Ollie smiled and he helped her up.
"My mother" said Ollie as he smiled as Katarina was suspicious Ollie's fighting style was way too advanced for his age, whoever his mother was, she had to be very skilled.
"Blondie, I have to give it to you, even though I am annoyed you didn't get hurt" said Maddie as Ollie scoffed.
"Anyway, Katarina, can you please teach me how to use a sword? It looks so cool" said Maddie.
"We can start tomorrow in the morning" said Katarina.
"Awesome" said Maddie as she smiled, she could not wait to tell Annie.
…
"So what do you think we should do Curtis?" asked Matt as he looked at Curtis as he, Annie and Curtis were all together.
"Well firstly, I have to ask Katarina when she thinks that the storm will clear up, and from there, we can go on" said Curtis as Annie nodded.
"Excuse me" said Curtis as he walked into the other room.
"How do you feel Annie?" asked Matt as he looked at Annie.
"I mean relieved, now we know that I will get my powers back for sure" said Annie as she looked at Matt.
"I just feel so impatient, I can't wait to get up there and get my powers back so all this can end, so Curtis can be well again, so I can have my magic again, and so that I can finally get rid of Azazel once and for all" said Annie.
"Did your magic say anything about Azazel?" asked Matt.
"Well no she didn't, and knowing her, if she said nothing then it means that something very dangerous is going on there, and I don't want history to repeat itself" said Annie as she sighed.
"You don't have to worry Annie everything will be fine" said Matt as he smiled.
"I really hope so Matt, I really hope so, because I can't take another full out battle, it's just not… it would being back so many bad memories, all of us running, running just because of this one man named Azazel, it's so stupid and frustrating" said Annie as she sighed.
"It will be alright Annie, Azazel won't touch you at all, not when we are all here" said Matt as Annie smiled at him.
"Thank you Matt" said Annie as she smiled.
"You are welcome" said Matt.
"Wait a minute, where did Maddie and Prince Oliver go?" asked Annie as she noticed their absence after so long.
"Maddie went to spy on Katarina, and I guess that Prince Oliver followed after her" said Matt.
"Well that was a bad idea" said Annie as she laughed.
"They will be fine" said Matt as he laughed as well.
