"You have much potential, I could see you becoming a warrior greater than many others should you continue to hone your skills. Ready... Now.* Dole says as he throws the next couple balls*
Gregory
"Why thank you kind sir" *She would then hit both of the next balls on point, one right after the other* "Wow... If i really put my mind to it, i really can do it" *She would say jumping around as she smiled*
Richard
"Alright from here on you won't get a signal first keep your eyes open for the targets"*Dole begins throwing balls at random intervals and angles with differing amounts of strength*
Gregory
*She would be a bit overwhelmed by the sudden movements but she would try to focus on specific targets which only allowed her to be able to hit a quarter of the balls somewhat perfectly* "This is quite overwhelming"
Richard
"In the midst of combat your enemies will try to overwhelm you with tactics, speed, and unpredictability. It is important to have a flexible mind and even greater skill"*Dole says as he continues to pick up speed and pace with the balls*
Gregory
*She would try to focus and hit as many balls as she possibly could. She was definitely trying her best but she would need much more practice with this exercise for sure*
Richard
*Dole would wait as he got to the last ball, the when he thought Adeliza had had enough time to prepare with the last ball he would step out and throw it as hard as he could chucking the ball with extreme speed directly over Adelizas head.*
Gregory
*She wouldn't dare to flinch and she would then shoot the arrow as it approached her at a high speed. However, once the ball fell to the ground, she would let out a huge sigh as though she had been holding her breath the entire time*
Richard
"You react very well, I believe it is time for your final task. For now you will rest, when you catch your breath we shall return to your opponent."

"Now that you have revisited your skills and have remembered your warrior talents, it is time to know victory over another" *Dole says as he himself sits to rest*
Gregory
*She would sit on the ground and catch her breath as she looked at him as a student looks at their teacher* "That sounds good to me"
Richard
"You show more potential than anyone I have seen in a long time. You will bring much greatness in your time, be proud for the skill you possess, regardless of your strength or size."
Gregory
*She would smile as she heard those words. No one had ever told her that before and it boosted her self-esteem and confidence which made her very happy* "Thank you i truly appreciate your patience with me as i uncover new parts of myself"
Richard
*Dole would sit regarding Adeliza, holding his head in pride looking upon the new warrior that will soon be born into the world. Waiting until fully recovered before standing up* "It is time, come we return to your opponent." *Dole turns an goes to walk back to the tree from before*
Gregory
*She would get up and follow him, excited for what was to come next* "You are truly an amazing teacher"
Richard
"I only show you what you already knew, becoming a warrior is a lot like beginning to understand oneself. Like with your opponent and the training, only you could decide which skills were best and what way was best to strike."

"I may have shown you how, but the answer was always with you."

*Dole moves a bush in the way to reveal the nearly cut tree as it was before* "Are you ready?"
Gregory
"I think so" *She would think that the arrows were going to be the best way to cut the tree or at least to continue to and if necessary, she was going to use the knife at the end to finish it off just like with an opponent*
Richard
"When you strike imagine the cutting you did on the wood to shape it, imgaine your knife as it left your hand the sureness you had it would hit. Remember the swiftness of your arrows and the speed with which you were ready."

"Imagine not the weapon you wield to finish your opponent, but remember the skill and feeling of the cut and speed. Imagine you are the arrow in flight, the cut that forms from the daggers edge. You are the weapon"
Gregory
*She would hear his words and they would be engraved into her head as she prepared her bow and arrows and then she would fire arrow after arrow at the part of the tree that was still attached and the arrows would be firing at such a speed that they would start to break the wood in the trunk*
Richard
*Dole watches unblinking at the tree and Adeliza, imagining a battle between warriors, a sword swung, a shield blocking. He sees the skill and spirit with which Adeliza fires her arrows, and waits for the killing blow.*
Gregory
*She would then take her knife and throw it at the tree which is what finally is able to finish cutting the tree* "Woah i actually did that" *She would look at the tree in shock and then at him triumphantly*
Richard
*Dole smiles at Adeliza* "You have done it, you have felled your first true opponent. Now the Warrior's Spirit has been born in you, from today until you die, you shall be known as Adeliza the Warrior."
Gregory
*She would giggle as she smiled at him and gave him a slight hug as a thank you* "Though i truly thank you and i hope that you will continue to teach me as you teach in a better way than my fiancé"
Richard
*Dole returns the hug and pats Adeliza on the head* "One day I shall come to teach you more in the way of the warrior, but for now you must walk your own path Warrior."

"It is time I returned to my people, I have been lost from them for too long."

*Dole rises putting his axes on his shoulder and grabs his belongings*
Gregory
"May i help you in finding them? And when will you come to meet my fiancé? Please don't leave me i need a teacher to teach me the ways of a warrior" *She would watch him as she helped him to gather his things*
Richard
"Do not worry, I shall return to see your progress. I would find my people on my own however, I must learn to make my own way just as any true warrior. Perhaps when next we meet I can see your fiancé I can only imagine one as strong as you would find a great person to betroth." *Dole reaches into his bag and pules out a Danish designed dagger and tosses it to Adeliza.*

"A weapon to pair with your other, daggers should be wielded with other weapons when in the midst of combat."
Gregory
*She would catch the dagger and look at it in awe. It was truly beautiful and she would run her fingers over it as she looked at the many carvings* "Thank you very much and i much look forward to meeting you again whenever that may be" *She would bow her head in gratitude as she smiled*
Richard
*With a slight chuckle Dole turns to go, but as he gets to the edge of the clearing* "Know this Warrior Adeliza, regardless of the horrors and despair in this world none can take your Warrior's Spirit from you. Only you can give it away. As long as you hold on to what is truly precious in your heart, you will always be a true warrior." *And with that Dole exits the clearing returning to whatever strange lands he came from.*

**Exit Dole Kariden**
Gregory
*She would watch as his figure faded away into the distance and she would then collect her belongings and exit in the opposite direction of him* "Thank you for everything that you have taught me and i will make sure to not let you down"

**Exit Adeliza White**
