"I must train, I must fight, I must become strong.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIcXl37FuvI&ab_channel=OfficialVGM Selene had been staying with him at Ordon Village for a little bit after returning to Hyrule from her extended trip to handle family matters. Losing her mother had been hard for her, and he had done his best to help make her feel at home. Luckily he had a spare bedroom handy. Over time, he eventually started asking her about helping out on the ranch to keep herself busy while she figured out what to do next. Not that he was calling her a freeloader or anything, he was just fine to handle it himself. Actually, his reason for doing so stemmed from having something else in mind. And that was Selene's own training. She had admitted recently that she had been neglecting it, not having had much opportunity to whet her sword as of late. Their talks in the coming days had raised a lot of subjects. One being that she had never truly received proper swordsman's training. She had been self taught, along with any pointers that Josh had given her to ensure that she was capable of carrying out the will of the goddess during her mission many moons ago. So he'd brought up that perhaps it was time for her to refine her game with a proper education in swordsmanship. One he was willing to provide. As for the farm work... While it seemed like just work, believe it or not, this was how Josh himself had first started his training when he was a boy. Selene would find that long periods of standing and watering crops, as well as feeding and brushing livestock would increase her stamina. Baling hay, harvesting crops and chopping wood would begin to harden her muscle mass and increase her physical strength perhaps even beyond her physical peak back in Termina. Navigating a coop full of Cuccoos to feed them and harvest eggs would make her more nimble and hone the reflexes that had previously dulled. When tasking her with helping herd the goats, cows, sheep and other livestock, he insisted she use her own horse instead of Cabuck. Doing so would help her get her riding wits back, getting her used to tight turns and adjusting her speed to suit different situations besides just travel. As well as helping strengthen the bond with her horse. Eventually, once she was back into what he would consider adequate shape for fighting, it was time for her to move on from attacking dummies as part of her training. Today, they would have their first sparring match. Believe it or not, the two of them had never actually clashed blades back in Termina. That would change today. Finishing limbering his joints, the Hylian cracked his neck as he stepped onto the cut of land he'd set aside for training. He was sure that she was ready for this. While he waited for her to finish preparations, he pulled out a tool and began to work on maintenancing his sword. The blonde never did seem to like being idle. OOC: Tags: Selene Merrows |
