"Alright, let's take a break from drills and do some light sparring." Lucien said as he approached Link with a pair of wooden Korok swords, holding out the hilt of one for him before taking a step back and standing in simple stance, angled with his left foot back and pointed to the side, right foot pointed towards his opponent, sword held out in front of him.<br/><br/>Link took his position and immediately sprang forward with a wide chop at a downward angle.  "Right shoulder." Lucien called out, easily parrying Link's sword out of the way and smacking him on the bicep.  Link grunted at the impact, but followed through with the movement to get some distance, turning with his sword raised defensively.  Lucien hadn't moved from his spot, still standing in the same placid position patiently waiting for the next attack.  Link made a feinting stab for Lucien's right side, which he called out in kind without even bothering to attempt to parry or dodge, before spinning and swinging in a backhand for Lucien's other side.  "Right hip." Lucien side, turning on the ball of his foot as he caught Link's wrist and pulled him around, kicking out his knee at the same time.  The boy ended up flat on his stomach, wrist still caught up in Lucien's vice-like grip.<br/><br/>"Is bullying me really necessary?" Link asked with annoyance.<br/><br/>"I'm simply doing what you're doing, just louder.  It's not meant to bully you, I'm illustrating a point," Lucien explained as he released the boy and let him get to his feet, "You're not holding a club or an axe, you're holding a sword.  It's a cutting implement. Putting that much power behind the swing will only result on your attacks being easily read and countered.  You may as well as announcing your intent yourself.  Instead focus on speed and simply make contact.  A finely honed edge will do the work for you.  Now, again."<br/><br/>They only got a few moves in when a high pitched whistle sounded nearby, Lucien holding up a hand to stop the bout as a Shiekah messenger dropped down from above and landed in a crouch, remaining there in a kneeling position as he said, "Chieftain, a discovery has been made in Gerudo Desert."  He looked up and finally took in the scene, giving Lucien a questioning look.  However, a simple shake of the Chieftain's head and the matter was dropped.<br/><br/>"More Guardians have been found?" Lucien asked.<br/><br/>"Something much, much bigger, sir.  I think you and Princess Zelda need to see this for yourselves.  Lady Urbosa has already been informed and is expecting your arrival." The messenger reported.<br/><br/>With a sigh, Lucien muttered under his breath, "Lovely..."  The messenger was dismissed and Lucien turned towards his mother's home, but halted Link from following with a point, "Back to your drills, 500 repetitions.  Focus on technique, speed and power will come with time."  Link looked dismayed at the workload laid before him, but drew the Sword that Seals the Darkness and set to work.<br/><br/>-------------<br/><br/>A short knock preceded Lucien's entrance, finding Zelda and Impa pouring over a map of Hyrule.  "The search for the Triforce will have to be put on hold for now," he said, "There's been a discovery in Gerudo Desert that requires our attention.  We leave as soon as the horses are packed."
