Aminon shot up in the hospital bed and went to pull out the I.V. that was in her arm until Kalib stopped her.
"You need to rest." Kalib told her.
"Fuck you." Aminon replied before laying back down.
"Still fiesty as ever." Kalib laughed.
"How long was I out?" Aminon asked him.
"A day, maybe a day and a half." Kalib replied as he placed bowl of strawberries on the table beside her. "I did a bit of snooping into your files since we'll be working together for awhile."
"Hope that's not to long cause you're already a pain in my ass." Aminon replied as she looked at the strawberries.
"I knew you'd be hungry after your short coma." Kalib replied as he used his magic to help Aminon eat.
"I hate you." Aminon hissed before biting into a strawberry.
"I love you too." Kalib chuckled.
Aminon stuttered slightly before just biting into another strawberry.
"I have to take of something for an hour or two." Kalib told her as she finished the strawberries. "I need you to get some rest, training starts when I get back."

Before she could replied Kalib disappeared leaving the room a few degrees warmer than before.

Kalib walked up where the rest of the Imperial Guards who bowed to him when he solidified.
"Do we have a lead on who attacked Twilight?" He asked them.
"No, whoever did it muddled up their trail ethereally, magically, and physically." One of the guards replied.
"Then we have to try harder, go deeper into the different realms." Kalib replied. "There are ten of us, three to each major realm, I'll stay here to train the recruit."
"You really see something her, don't you?" The same Imperial asked.
"How about instead of questioning me, how about y'all go try to find whatever tried to kill Twilight." Kalib told her.

The mare glared at him before disappearing and the rest of the Guard followed suit.

Aminon walked into the sparring room saw Kalib swinging several swords above his head and Sky was shooting through the air to dodge them.
"So who am I fighting cause I want to beat the shit out someone?" Aminon asked them.
"You'll be fighting Sky." Kalib told her. "I want neither of you to hold back."

Aminon nodded before she looked at Sky who was wearing plain sparring clothes and she felt herself smile before launching herself at him.

Sky tried to pull himself to the side but Aminon pulled him and was about to punch him again but Kalib stopped her.
"You both have shown extreme skill." Kalib told them. "Sky you have shown immense improvement and Aminon you've shown extraordinary potential."
"Can you stop talking and tell us what else you have planned for us?" Sky asked him.

"Nothing else, lunch is what is next." Kalib replied as he walked to the door. "Afterwards though it's you two against me."

Aminon groaned as her back hit the ground for maybe the seventh time and she painfully got to her feet once again. She glanced at Sky as Kalib threw him and Aminon yelled right before he slammed into her. As they got up again Kalib was just walking slowly at the edge of the arena, his body untouched even after 2 hours.
"Are you going to give up yet?" Kalib asked them.
Aminon struggled to her and felt her knees shake slightly but she tensed up.
"Fuck you you bastardly little bitch." Aminon shouted before galloping full speed at Kalib.
Before she got close he leapt of her slammed all his hooves into her back, landed and bucked her stomach. She flipped through the air and landed painful on her back. When she tried to get to her feet she felt Sky pick her up and she shoved back.
"What the hell, I was trying to help you." Sky told her.
"Fuck off you little shit." Aminon replied as she rushed at Kalib again.
This time when she fell Sky just leapt over her before Kalib threw him across the arena again.
