Chapter 49 Training With O’lee

I woke up in the morning with Chili sprawled over the top of me in what looked to be an awkward position. I had to gently roll her off me to even get out of bed, but Chili stayed asleep the entire time.

It was still dark outside, but I wasted no time getting dressed. I had been tempted to grab a skirt for my training session, but that thought was thrown out the window when I pictured myself in one.

With a chuckle, I slipped out of the room, leaving Chili in an awkward position in bed. She was face down, but she looked like a pipe with a bend in it with her ass up in the air.

The house was dark and almost completely silent except for soft talking and the sounds of a knife hitting a cutting board. I could only assume the sounds to be the noises of the kitchen staff.

Trina was in the hallway just before the front door waiting with a cloth-wrapped package. She stepped out in front of me and held it out to me by the knot that held the cloth ends.

"There is a meal in there for you after your training. Senna said that you would probably need it," Trina said with a smile, and I nodded.

"Thank you very much! I will more than likely need it after this morning's exercise with O'lee! Have a good day, and say thank you to Senna for me," I said, and Trina nodded, stepping out of my way.

Once I was outside of the house, I started to jog west as soon as I left the gates. We had been across from the barracks last night at Tulips bar, so it was a short jog, and O'lee was waiting for me.

"Ha! You came! Early too!" O'lee said with a tusk-pierced grin that I returned.

"Wouldn't miss this! Can I put my lunch somewhere?" I asked, and O'lee nodded to me, turning back to lead me into the Barracks.

The first area was just a small holding area, and there were bars like a jail blocking the other side. There was a door in the bars and a window on the side of the wall.

"So you made it after all! I am happy for you, O'lee; ensure you don't go easy on him!" Breya sang from the other side of the window.

"Hey, don't make it worse for me!" I laughed and then asked, "Can you watch my lunch?"

"Is there cake in there?" Breya asked, and I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Don't know and wouldn't tell you if I did!" I growled, and Breya grabbed her heart in mock pain.

"Oh, your truth wounds me! But I will watch your food! Go try to survive next to O'lee!" Breys giggled, and I smiled back, thinking about last night on the cloud over the city.

"You all seem to have very little faith in me! I get it, but O'lee is going to be the one asking me to stop when we are done!" I grinned, and Breya blinked and me, then looked at O'lee with concern.

"I never say stop. Let's go," O'lee said with a frown, and then she left back outside, but Breya put up a hand to stop me.

"Don't embarrass her! O'lee is proud, but I can feel the truth of your words," Breya warned me, and I nodded.

"Got it," I said and left the barracks.

O'lee was waiting for me, and the moment that I was outside, she started to run west. I grinned and ran after her, but I really had to push myself to catch up, and together we wrapped around a bunch of large housing buildings.

As we sprinted to the front gate, the streets were empty, but I noticed a theater on my right on the south road. We turned right and down the side of the massive black steepled build till we reached the wall.

From there, it was a straight trip east to the front gate, but we slowed down dramatically when we got there. O'lee waved to the sleepy-looking guard, and they perked up, waving back.

"Good morning, O'lee! Have a good run!" The guard called and then looked at me with a grin. "Good luck; you will need it!"

I rolled my eyes as we turned west, and O'lee started to run again, but she was driving her knees up each time. I tried to copy her, and it took me a good moment to get the hang of it and catch up.

"We run down the wall. Mountains at the end. Push rock to top. Walk rocks. Hop, then climb down." O'lee called as I caught up with her, and I sighed.

"Got it!" I called over to the orc woman, but that didn't sound that hard.

The sun was just starting to come up, and it was a beautiful sight. This run was something that my body craved, and the scene was something I could get used to seeing each morning!

The mountains had only been a five-mile run, so I was feeling nice and warmed up by the time we got to the mountains. The massive Northwall ran into it, but the mountain walls were sheer and rose higher than the wall itself.

O'lee motioned for us to head north, running down the mountain line until we reached a massive snaking path. The path led up into the mountain, but the blue-green Orc woman stopped at the foot of the path, turning to me.

"Now we get big rocks," O'lee said as she raised her fist that had started to glow blue.

Small water lines started to surround her fist, and O'lee turned and walked over to a large flat vertical surface.

I knew the spell she was using, but I was still excited to see what she was going to do with it. The spell was a water offensive enhancement spell that channels the user's strength into the razor-thin lines of water.

O'lee pulled her fist back and then struck the wall, making a loud bang! There was no mark on the wall, but the blue lines exploded out from her fist, slicing two ten-by-ten blocks.

Before then had a chance to fall, O'lee did a roundhouse kick that brought a small tidal wave with it. The two blocks were carried over to the path on the wave, setting down perfectly.

"Wow! That was frigging amazing, O'lee! You really are strong to be able to cut them out so perfectly!" I cheered, and O'lee looked back at me with a grin.

"Now we push," O'lee smiled, and I nodded, jogging over to one of the massive ten-foot square orange stone blocks.

I got behind the big rock, placing my hands on it, and already not looking forward to this. The damn thing was too big to even see where I was going, and it was just frigging big!

"How are we supposed to see where we are going?" I asked as O'lee jogged up to her rock.

"We only push to halfway. If rock falls off, pick it up and start again," O'lee told me and then started to push.

Within moments she was almost at a jog and forty feet away from me. I groaned and started to push, but it barely moved, and I gritted my teeth.

I shoved the rock forward with everything I had and roared a battle cry as the massive rock started to move. From there, it was just a matter of getting up to speed and wrapping around the walls.

I was lucky enough not to fall off, but I had gotten very close at my first outside turn. The rock had gotten almost half off the edge before I stopped it, but pulling it back from the edge was worse than getting started.

O'lee was waiting for me, but the path had become a sheer rock path that had long drops down both sides. The path was about a foot wide, but the drop must have been over one hundred feet deep.

"You getting tired?" O'lee asked with a grin, and I rolled my eyes.

"What is the next form of torture you have for us?" I asked, and O'lee barked out a laugh.

O'lee charged her fist and punched her rock and then mine. As she did, the blocks were cut in half, and there were holes left in the center of the blocks.

"Carry across. Don't fall," O'lee explained as she walked between the blocks, sticking an arm in each one.

I watched as she lifted the blocks up, holding them out straight armed in amazement. What the hell was wrong with this woman?

Was this seriously what she did every day? I watched as she walked out onto the path that looked solid enough, but it was the pure ridiculousness of it all.

I walked in between the block and stuck my arms into the holes; I was surprised to find a round bar of stone at the end of the holes to grab onto.

I gripped the bars and grunted too damn hard; I thought I was going to shit my pants trying to lift the blocks. Slowly, as my eyes bulged out of my head, and I nearly bit my tongue off, I lifted the damn rocks.

O'lee was halfway across the nearly two-hundred-foot spans as I took my first steps out. The moment I got on the path, I could feel the wind pushing and pulling me from all directions.

At this point, my eyes had to be outside of my eyelids, and I was sure my shorts were done as I fought to not fall to my doom. Every muscle from my toes to my hairline was clenched as I slowly made my way across.
