( Pov: Draco Thorns )
Today is the day Dad finally trained me in field combat and was walking to the training ground for squires with Dad as I am now considered a squire to Dad. It is very normal, and from what I heard, the master of arms will be present to teach the new seedlings.
As we walked for a bit we came across the training ground and found some squires training with wooden practice weapons from swords to even daggers I even saw a hoisting ring to the side where a few squires were standing around a Knight of the Tyrell as it seems to teach them about jousting and maybe horse riding.
We walked up to the center where kids my 2 to 3 name days older than me were lined up in front of a 5.7 man with blond hair and Brown eyes hearing Green and black Light armor he also had a scar across his left cheek and that's when I realized.
That was the master of arms Leon Greyhelm ((Coundent find anything about who the master of arms of the Tyrells where or at least High Garden so just go with it))
My father shoved me lightly basically telling me to stand in line and I rushed over some of the older kids looked at me a bit but then turned their attention back on Leon and the man took a quick look at me and then returned to waiting for mostly the other future squires.
( 10 Minutes later )
The last squire came to the line and we all stared at Leon waiting to see what he would say, As another minute went passed he stepped up and I glanced over to the side where my dad was along with a few other knights looking at us from the sideline.
Leon started to speak to us.
"Alright then now that everyone has arrived let's get to the reason you all are here and what you will learn and do." He spoke in a Great voice grabbing all the future squires including mine attention.
"First you all are here to learn to be Knights, soldiers, or men at arms to protect these lands and the tyrells" Leon continues walking up and down the line and staring at us in the eyes to maybe test our nerves I didn't know.
"And I am gonna be your trainer from now on and I have a few rules you must follow or your out am I understood?" He Asked everyone stopping at me and starting Into My eyes.
No one spoke up so I thought I should at least give him an answer he seeks.
"Understood sir!>" I Told in a ready-to-go voice while holding a steady gaze to his.
The kids looked at me as if I was some idiot I And Leon stood staring at each other for a bit quietly, A Few Seconds went by and the silence was evident but then Leon spoke up.
"Very good at least one of you is ready for the tasks I'll give them." He spoke in a deep tone showing his disappointment for the others and started to walk along the line again and Began speaking.
"Now the rules are simple if you can't follow then you will be forced to leave." He spoke staring at some of the other squires in the eyes some looked to the ground and others shook a bit and it seemed I was the only one to look him in the eyes without fear as others would say I had balls of steel
mt father was standing on the side standing tall with his chest puffed out in pride will some of the knights most likely other fathers to some of the squires and Leon contained explaining.
"The only Rules are listen obey and don't complain you don't talk back or complain about what you learn." Me and the other squires I nodded to confirm we heard him loud and clear.
"Now the first thing you will line up and come tell me what you wish to learn as a knight so I may know what to teach you and what knight I require to aid me to teach you and you will tell me your name and all other things so LINE UP" and told then screamed the last bit as we lined up.
I was somewhere at the back of the line waiting for my turn when I Heard what the other squires tell them like some choice to Learn the spears others a bow but most picked either a warpick or Sword and I heard no one say a mace or lance.
As the line slowly got shorter by the minute and soon it was my turn I walked up to Leon staring up at him.
"Now the Young warrior who has no fear tell me about yourself and what you wish to learn here," He told me as I nodded and started to explain to him.
"Sir my name is Draco Thorns son of Dustin and Julliana Thorns I enjoy learning and hard physical training and what I wish to learn is to Duel wield mace as well as a lance and Dagger and a bit of the other weapons but I like to focus on the First three Sir, as well as Riding a horse and Leading troops. "I told him
He looked at me with a raised eyebrow and didn't say anything for a moment thinking about what I told him and he slowly opened his mouth.
"that is a lot to learn Young Squire you realize you will spend a lot of time learning and training so are you sure you wish to learn all that?" he asked me with a serious voice and narrowed eyes as he spoke in a deep tone letting me know he meant what he said.
So I returned it inclined with my serious voice and face surprising him a bit with it because he did not think off a child of all things to give him such a face as I spoke in the same tone and only gave him a few words that sealed my faith in his hands.
"Train me into the Ground...." Those few words I gave him and a few Knights who heard our talk with bewildered faces and he slowly nodded in agreement.
"Very well stand in the other line." He nodded at me as I gave one in return and a Clumsey salute which earned a few snickers from the Knight that saw it and I stepped into the Other Line waiting for him to finish with the other squires.
( 10 minutes later )
As the last squire joined the line, Leon walked up to the line and stood afront then started speaking to us.
"Alright Your weapon Training begins in two moons but first lest prepare those weak bodys of yours NOW GET RUNNING AROUND THE FIELD UNTIL YOU PASS OUT FROM LACK OF AIR!" he spoke gently at first and screamed the last bit and some squires were stunned that we are already training and some started running I was one of them.
We had Ranned for 4 hours until we were out of breath some Laying on the ground nearly passed out and we all learned that Leon was a man of his word because one hotty squire was kicked out when he told Leon to give him a break with that wake up call everyone stayed quite some either fell to the ground while others kept running until we where told to stop.
"Alright 10 10-minute break to get breath then you will do 80 Push-ups set ups and pull-ups!" Leon told us but he then looked at me I was just sweating a lot and barely out of breath due to my format training and he spoke.
"And you will do 100 of each of them," he told me while some of the kids thought I was getting punished for some reason and snickered behind my back but I just looked at him and nodded to confirm I would do it.
( 10 minutes later )
We started the physical training we were given They did little less than me but I couldn't complain this was to make me stronger after all some squires looked like they wanted to throw up.
( After a few hours )
I and the other squires were in line again some out of breath others sweating heavily and was very sweaty and out of breath because Leon made me do a lot more extra training until I was tired and Dad long left to go work and guard Lord Tyrell.
Leon was again standing in front of us to tell us a few things.
"well that will be our workouts from now on and will slowly increase them over time and that will be all today come again fresh in the morning.' He spoke and commanded us and a few sluggishly went home with our sore and tired bodies.
it took an hour to get home but the moment I walked in the smell of food hit my nose it was cooked salted fish with veggies on the side and my mother greeted me the moment I came in.
"Hello son how was squire training/' She asked me noticing my tired eyes
"Very demanding..." The only work I gave her as she nodded at that
"Your father will be gone for a few days there was some trouble in a village and he's going there to aid," she told me as I nodded in confirmation.
"So sit down so we can eat and afterward, we are gonna learn about the history and train you a bit and diplomatics and telling the differences between lies and truths," she told me with a teasing smile
I only nodded and we ate dinner and words started learning and training.
{{ Well that's all for today until next time }}
