In the distance can be heard the humming of a large man cutting into trees
Gregory
*A girl would be walking around looking at the nature and the animals*
Richard
Dole rears his arm back and swings his axe as hard as he can into the side of the tree hoping to fell it with this last swing
Gregory
*She would be walking around somewhat nearby but she wasn't paying much attention to her surroundings though she could hear everything that was going on*
Richard
*Dole sniffs the air and turns in time to see someone appear from the wilderness as the tree begins to fall in the direction of the stranger*
Gregory
*She would turn around as she could somewhat hear the rustling of leaves only to be met by shock by the tree inching closer towards her*
Richard
*Dole reaches out and flings the falling tree somewhat to the side trying to knock it out of the path of the stranger* "Careful friend ya wouldn't want to get crushed by a falling tree out here in the wilds would ya"
Gregory
*She would shake her head to bring herself back to reality* "Oh my goodness thank you so much! I'm so sorry i need to be more careful of my surroundings"
Richard
**Dole appears as a 7 1/2 tall Earth Macen with two Dane axes at his side**
Gregory
"My you are really tall - i'm adeliza by the way and thank you again for saving me"
Richard
"It's no problem.What brings you to these parts today stranger"*Says Dole as he begins stripping branches from the tree*
Gregory
"Nothing really just trying to get out of the house for a while and enjoy the nature" *She would say as she climbed another tree and sat on one of the branches* "What are you up to?"
Richard
"I am cutting trees, they are good for training"*Says Dole as he moves the now cleaned log to the side as he begins chopping down another tree*

"As I cut the trees each tree becomes easier and easier to cut, I then make homes and other things so that people will have places to sleep and live, this in turn brings about the possibility of children, and children may one day become worthy opponents." *Dole cuts down the next tree and and begins stripping the wood*
Gregory
"Oh wow that is truly amazing but i mean you are also helping a lot of people which is very kind of you" *She would smile at him as she watched what he was doing*

Richard
"I think that helping people is important, for to give a weak man strength makes him more worthy of an opponent, to foster someone's abilities and aid others make people as a whole stronger. Life is a battle and as one continues through it they grow stronger in some ways and weaker in others. I try to help people where they are weak so that as a whole they become stronger"*Dole finishes his second tree and begins to work on his third*
Gregory
"Wow that's a great philosophy that i also agree with. I too, like you, love to help people and it brings me happiness especially since i've gone through a lot of hardships and i don't really want others to go through those alone like i did" *She would say the last bit a little bit softer but still loud enough for him to hear*
Richard
"I train today so I can fight stronger than before tomorrow, perhaps you would like fighting yourself, "One From The Forest" There is no greater thrill than to clash ones strengths and weaknesses against each other to improve yourself." *Dole strips the third tree and begins cutting into the wood*
Gregory
"Ah well you see, i'm not much of a fighter but i am trying to work towards getting better at it. I'm better with crafty things or anything creative" *She would continue to watch him*
Richard
"All skills are valuable to a warrior, you may be smaller and weaker than I, but you are quicker and more agile. A true battle involves using one's greatest strengths to overcome your opponent, while hiding one's weaknesses as best you can." *Dole begins to cut timber and firewood from the logs*
Gregory
"Very inspirational words i must say"
Richard
*Dole begins constructing a small fire pit then reaches to his side where his bags and belongings are. After a few moments of ruffling Dole pulls out some two blocks of cheese and two bottles, he then reaches the girl one bottle and one block of cheese* "Eat small one the battle of survival is the most fearsome of them all."
Gregory
*She would be quite shocked by his sudden continued acts of kindness despite not knowing her at all* "Oh well um thank you but i'm afraid i am unsure how to repay you" *She would say as she carefully came down to the tree and went towards him but she didn't take what he was offering just yet*
Richard
"You may thank me by becoming strong in your own ways and becoming a worthy opponent." *Dole opens his bottle and begins to drink before take large bites from the cheese*
Gregory
*She would gratefully take the cheese and bottle from him* "Why thank you kind sir but is there any way that i can help you in your current endeavours?"
Richard
"Do you know of any battles worth fighting or opponents worth fighting."
Gregory
"Well i mean if you want to get stronger and just fight for the love of it, i do know someone"
Richard
*Dole looks up with a wide smile* "Do tell, I am very interested"
Gregory
"Well i mean my fiancé love to fight other people for fun too and he has been helping me train a little but i could introduce you to him if you'd like"
Richard
"He sounds like a good man, I would very much like to meet him and battle him"
Gregory
"Alright well i can definitely take you to our house whenever you're ready or we can meet him somewhere else if you'd like"
Richard
"I am fine with this, we can leave whenever you are ready" *Dole stands and begins t collect his things from around the small clearing*
Gregory
*She would help him gather his things* "You should probably keep the food and bottle with you and maybe you could give it as a gift?" *She would hand him the cheese and the bottle*
Richard
"You may keep the food and drink I have plenty more it is not trouble." *Dole says as he rejects the food and drink*
Gregory
*She would smile softly* "I am truly thanking you a thousand times over" *She would say as she downed the bottle with the drink and nibbled on the cheese. She had not drunken much lately so she was very thirsty*
Richard
"I must speak truly my newfound friend I am ashamed to say I am also quite lost, I cannot navigate land very well I am a seafaring warrior. I am prone to becoming lost upon the land"
Gregory
"Oh well i can help to navigate you around. Where are you going dear warrior?"
Richard
"I thought we were heading back to your home to meet your fiancé " *Dole off handily spears a boar with an extremely large spear*
Gregory
*She would be quite shocked by that* "Well i'm not sure that he's home right now and i don't know when he will return home so we've got lots of time"
Richard
"I see, perhaps we should travel to the nearest battleground then, do you know of any bandits or those that prey upon the weak"

*Dole takes the boar and slings it's over his shoulder like a pillow*

"If not then perhaps I could show you something of training, you seem very quick and nimble yes?"
Gregory
"Hm well i am not sure about your first request but sure i wouldn't mind being taught a few things but my fiancé has also been having me workout a little but not very much"
Richard
"It is important to know ones strengths and weaknesses, nature provides all one needs to grow stronger."

"Wait for but a moment, I shall help you begin" *Dole immediately begins cutting down another tree with his axes*

*After a few minutes Dole manages to cut the tree enough to where it is near to falling over, then back s away*

"You should finish the cut on this tree for it will provide you with strength, you must show appreciation to your opponents before death for they have sharpened your edge."
Gregory
"Well what am i to use?" *She was happy that he was getting her to try something new and encouraging her to acknowledge her strengths and weaknesses*
Richard
"Whatever weapon you feel is best it is only right to fight with your greatest strength, you may use a knife if you wish to slice, Fire an arrow if you wish to pierce, use rope wire or tools if you wish to use craftiness and utility, there are a myriad of options to deal with most opponents."

*Dole seems to grow solemn and thoughtful pausing for a moment but then opens his eyes and speaks* "When I killed a man for the first time it was with a woodcutters axe I had taken from my village, I have always been quite large and I do enjoy the feel and swing of the axe as it is the most familiar to me, I use my size and strength to attack but I choose to fight with the axe because it means something to me. Choose whatever you feel best suits you as a warrior."
Gregory
"Well i mean i don't really have any weapons and have never really been familiar with any so i'm not really sure what would speak to me"
Richard
"Then this time your weapon shall be your spirit, decide not what to cut with but how. Decide what you believe to be the easiest and most efficient way of toppling the tree, be it through tool, magic, skill, or strength"

"If nothing speaks to you, you need only practice at the things you can do until it is revealed what the weapon of your soul truly is."
Gregory
"Well i mean i have water and water is something that i have grown up loving and i have a bit of ability with it but not very much"
Richard
"Then use your water to fell the tree, for now focus not on the weapon itself but the intent and feel of the method used. As you try different methods and weapons you will develop your own way of fighting, as you practice and develop your own ways more and more it will be revealed what kind of warrior you truly are."
Gregory
"Well the only thing i can really do with my powers is a barrier which can't exactly work in this case"
Richard
"Hmm, then let us think. Hold this" *Dole hands you his large Dane Axe* "Do you believe you could reliably swing this."
Gregory
*She would take it but it would be a bit heavy and big for her* "It's a little heavy and big but if it was smaller and lighter i do believe i could"
Richard
"I see." *Dole takes his axe back* "That knife at your side pull it out and slash the air a few times."
Gregory
*She would take her knife and do as he instructed*
Richard
"Much easier to swing for you, the knife is, do you want to be the warrior who goes into battle swing their mighty weapon screaming and bashing with all their might, or do you wish to be swift precise and efficient."

"You need not dedicate yourself to any one weapon just yet, but it is vital to understand at least the idea of what you wish to become. Setting yourself upon goals is the only way to truly progress as a warrior."
Gregory
"Definitely precise and efficient - i like getting things done right the first time but i am also not the loud type either"
Richard
"Very well, then before you can fell your first opponent... *Dole gestures at the almost cut tree* You must precisely the best way to finish them. To use precision and skill one must practice in the ways of the knife and the edge. Come with me we will leave your opponent for the moment." *Dole turns back and begins to walk away from the tree*
Gregory
*She would quickly follow him as she put her knife away*
Richard
*Dole returns to the firewood he cut from before and the logs they left earlier. He Pulls out his axes and begins chopping the larger logs into small firewood sized logs.* *After he's done he picks up a single piece then turns and hands it to Adeliza* "Take your knife and cut the edges of this wood until they are rounded as best as you can make them."
Gregory
*She would nod and get to work on it quickly and diligently. She was quite the perfectionist so she would make sure that it was up to her standards before even showing it to him*
Richard
"This is very good." *Dole puts the curved edged rectangular piece of firewood then cuts the piece in half* "Now take each of these pieces and shape them as best you can into perfect spheres."
Gregory
*She would nod once again and do as he asked. Liked she had said before, she was good at crafting and making things with her hands*
Richard
"Now we shall repeat this process until all the wood we have has been cut into fine balls."

*Dole cuts the wood into appropriate pieces and slices the wood rectangle in half when needed. Anytime he is waiting for the next piece he will hold a full tree log overhead until his arms give out from muscle failure and would continue to repeat this process.*
Gregory
"Yes sir" *She would watch him in awe as he kept practicing and pushing himself. That motivated her to finish the job and do it well so that she could impress him and make him proud*
Richard
*As the day begins to wane on their tasks completed Dole turns to face Adeliza again once she is done with her carvings* "We have finished the honing of your skill for today, now we shall work upon your precision, give me a few moments to prepare and we shall begin."

*Dole cuts down a final tree for today exhaustion heavy in his demeanor, it takes him longer than any other time to cut this tree.*

*Panting and covered in sweat, Dole strains himself as he begins to shop the wood into planks with one of his axes*
Gregory
"No no it's okay please you're exhausted you shouldn't push your body so much" *She would rush towards him and place a hand on his shoulder*
Richard
"It is fine, the hardest parts are over. Besides one must push themselves to their upmost to truly grow stronger. Now all that is needed is stand the planks against some trees to form a wall." *Drole begins to look around for such a spot to lay the planks*

"Would you mind helping me stack the planks between those two trees over there, we need to make somewhat of a wall."
Gregory
"Of course but you shouldn't push yourself so much to the point where you are compromising your health" *She would look at him with worry as she started to stack the planks*
Richard
*Dolee begins moving the planks over and stacking them and piling them into a vague shape of a wall*

"So there's two parts to your precision practice, the first be a test with your knife, the second will be a trial for your bow."
Gregory
"Alright i'll try my best" *She was a bit worried about her aim but none the less, she would give it her all*
