Opening his eyes,
Timmy noted that something was wrong, and close. Quietly he walked through the
halls to check on everyone. His sister Kenni was in his arms though as he
carried her to place her into her own bed. Then walked to
check on Cyanne, and Buddi. Then stopped at the
sitting room door. Looking into it he could see Gritty making a fire to
warm the room.
“Training is being
put off today, Ursa wanted to spend time with Buddi, instead today. Timmy
sighed and headed outside anyways. Gritty headed out to see what Timmy was up
to.
“Timba get back in
here, its raining and you’ll catch a cold.”
“No I won’t I need
to train!” Timmy shouted back.
“No you need to come
in.” Gritty said as he walked out to the cub.
“Gritty trust me we
need to prefect everything now, before its too late, there coming!” He said his
face paling showing real fear.
“Alright, I’ll tell
you what, you get yourself into the indoor training room and I’ll help you work
a little bit, but only after you eat something.” Timmy nodded and headed back
inside, and inhaled the food that he was given. And told
Gritty that he was ready. Gritty laughed and started out the door with
the cub, and helped him start working on the moves that he needed.
“Gritty can I learn
to use a weapon.”
“That you’ll have to
ask Ursa, I have no control over that one.” He told the cub as he handed him a
staff.
The two started a
sparing match, with Gritty ahead most the time then, Timmy ran up the front of
Gritty and flipped to the other side, landing on his feet. Then pointed the tip of his staff
into Gritty’s back.
“Not bad kid, not bad at all.” Gritty said the
praise taking the cub off guard and Gritty flooring him,
“Never loose your
guard Timmy.” The cub nodded and started again.
