Warrior

I woke up early around 5AM to meet Broadsword at town hall at 6AM, I had to borrow Twilight's alarm clock to get up at the right Time, good thing she didn't need to get up until later in the morning, after I got up and dressed I left my trench coat behind and took Dragonbane. leaving around 05:30 I reached town hall with about ten minuets to spare and waited for Broadsword to show up, I waited an hour before Broadsword showed up. "Good, your punctual at least." Broadsword said as he showed up an hour late.

"I've been waiting an hour." I say with an annoyed look.

"I know, that was my plan." Broadsword said as he stood with his hands behind his back.

"Say what, So you wasted my time for nothing?" I ask as I stood up from the steps.

"I don't waste time, I was seeing if you were serious about getting trained, some pony who wasn't serious would have left before now." Broadsword explained and I guess he's got a point. "Now pick your sorry flank up, and march." Broadsword said like a drill instructor.

"Where?" I ask.

"Don't question me, just march." Broadsword said spreading his wings and began flying ahead of me leaving me no choice but to follow on the ground. Broadsword then proceeded to take me for a lap around Ponyville and the lake before stopping at a bench. "Not bad colt, now give me five more laps by yourself." He ordered not even giving me a chance to catch my breath. "And leave the sword here, I'll keep an eye on it." He said as I started running again already out of breath and dripping with sweat, so I left Dragonbane with him and made a start on the next five laps. After another three hours I finished the five laps and came back to the bench where Broadsword was waiting. "Good, took you long enough, now pick up your sword and follow me." Broadsword ordered and I picked up Dragonbane and followed him. I followed Broadsword for another hour on a route that I was sure he made longer than it needed to be, we eventually stopped at a house on the edge of Ponyville that had a very big garden, Broadsword landed and I stopped just behind him, huffing and puffing as I tried to catch my breath. "Now we start the hard stuff." Broadsword said as he looked at me.

"You mean that wasn't the hard stuff?" I ask as sweat drips from my brow.

"No, that was just the warm up, now put your sword down and follow me." Broadsword ordered as he went around the back of the house and I followed him after I put Dragonbane down on the porch. around the back of the house was a full blown military obstacle course.

"Holy shit." I say looking at the course in front of me, only for the old geezer to slap me on the back of the head.

"AAH, what was that for?" I ask bringing a hand to the back of my head.

"I don't want to hear you using that kind of language around me, understand." Broadsword said with a stern look.

"Ok." I say and he throws a vest jacket at me and it weighed a lot almost knocking me over with the weight of it.

"Now put that on and get started." Broadsword said and I had no choice but to put it on and get started on the obstacle course, I was at it all day until sundown, by the Time Broadsword let me go back to the library, I felt like I was going to die and my whole body ached and the worse part was that, I had another four days of the same ahead of me for the next three months before Broadsword would even teach me about wooden swords. Needless to say, I was fucked and Broadsword was going to kill me with his training regiment, I think I'd rather spend a day with my father than this, as I walked through town in the dying light of day I couldn't help but notice that Lyra was stalking me from behind a tree.

"You know I can see you right?" I ask looking at the tree with a green tail sticking out from behind it.

"Damn, how did you know I was there?" Lyra said stepping out from behind the tree.

"Your tail was sticking out." I explain. I really don't want to deal with her of all ponies right now, I'm tired sweaty and very hungry, she can honestly fuck off.

"You know all it takes is one letter to the Princess about you being a dangerous creature and then your all mine to study." Lyra says with a cocky smirk.

"Do you even read the news paper?" I ask seemingly catching her off guard.

"Huh, why would I need to read a news paper." Lyra asked with a confused look.

"Because, I've already met the Princesses." I say with a smirk and Lyra loses all of her confidence but tries not to show it.

"This isn't over, You'll be mine one day." Lyra says walking away.

"Yeah, yeah keep dreaming." I say as she turns the corner of the street mumbling to herself. I ended up getting back to the library just as the moon started to rise. "I'm back." I say as I come through the door and close it behind me.

"Blake your back, you've been gone all day." Twilight said coming from the kitchen.

"Yeah, that old coot Broadsword worked me to the bone today." I say as I take Dragonbane off and opened the door to the basement, I went down put Dragonbane by the bed and grabbed some fresh underwear a towel and my PJ's as I go for a shower. Once I had a shower I decided to sit down in the living room that doubled as the main room of the library with all the book shelves.

"Damn Blake, You look ready to keel over." Twilight said.

"Don't go there Twi, I feel like hell right now." I say as Spike brings me a cup of tea, even though I didn't ask for it. "Thanks Spike." I say taking a sip of the... hot coco, not bad little man, not bad at all.

"Don't mention it." Spike said walking back to the kitchen.

"So, what did you learn today?" Twilight asked in an excited tone.

"Nothing, he had me working on my strength and endurance all day, with a 50 kilogram weight on my back." I say taking another sip of my hot coco.

"When's he going to start teaching you swordsmanship?" Twilight asked sitting next to me.

"He said he was going to work on my strength and stamina before he teaches me anything about swordsmanship." I explain as I put my cup down on the coffee table.

"Really, your that badly out of shape?" Twilight asked in a mocking tone.

"No, but I think Princess Celestia might have told him about how the Dragon Slayer Wave uses my stamina, and he wants to build my stamina so I can use it more." I say leaning back in my seat.

"You think so?" Twilight asked scooting a bit closer to me.

"Yeah, that's the only thing that makes sense." I say as Twilight gets a bit closer again. "Is something up?" I ask, making Twilight stop.

"No." Twilight says with a blush.

"Then why are you getting closer?" I ask looking at Twilight and she started blushing like crazy.

"I... I..." Twilight tried to say as her blush got deeper, but she didn't look away. "Can... can I kiss you?" Twilight asked, looking at me completely red faced, I froze at her words even as she leaned in towards me slowly. Now it was my turn to blush, I don't know what to say, what should I say, Yes, no, maybe later, what do I say damn it. Unfortunately for me I never got to give an answer before Twilight gently pressed her lips against mine for a few seconds before silently pulling away with a heavy blush on her face as she looked away. I also blushed, and I was lost for words as Twilight went back up stairs while trying not to look at me, I ended up getting up and going to my room, I really need to think.

"Damn, I need to get some rest, I can think about this later." I say quietly as I go back to my basement room to get some sleep before tomorrow.
