Interlude 2 - Ophelia - Training and Courtship

“You’ve gotten stronger.”

Ophelia told Tanda as the Ravenwolf woman collapsed to the ground, filled with bruises and sweat, her auril energy working to restore her body.

She looked up at Ophelia with a lot of doubt and a bit of despair. “What? I have, but how come it feels like you’re the one that’s so much stronger?”

Ophelia could tell that Tanda had a lot in common with her. When it came to fighting, she was competitive and desired victory. Unlike Fhesiah or Bloodberri, she would push herself for the sake of pushing herself and to win every battle, large or small.

Those two would only give their all when they perceived it to be required and that they cared about what they were fighting for. Winning in a spar was not one of those things unless she wagered some of her time with Jake, and that wasn’t entirely hers to wager.

Ophelia laughed. “I’m mostly the same as I was, though I’m sure I’ve pushed quite a few skills forward since we last fought. It’s just that Jake had removed his buffs from me before we fought the last time. Since we’re just training, they are present.” She smirked. “I get even stronger than that, when I fight near him.”

Tanda frowned, but Ophelia thought she looked quite interested, her tail wagging. “His Aura thing?”

Ophelia shook her head. “That too, but no. It’s this.” She shared with her the Valkyrie’s Chosen and Fervor abilities. “My race is one that devotes ourselves to our Chosen. I’ve chosen to become Jake’s shield, for life.”

“Wow, your people have some interesting abilities that the Framework recognizes. For me, it’s just Melee and Ranged Specialization, then Auril Enhancement and similar skills for Auril. Really, it has helped me move forward in the latter the most.”

“At least part of that is due to your race not having joined the Framework in truth–your World’s Trial incomplete. Were you at least able to find skills for you to use?”

“There are some. I know a few of us were able to purchase an attack that expends some of our endurance, our stamina, for making our attack more powerful, or moving faster. Nothing specifically related to our Auril itself.”

Ophelia nodded. “Those skills are mainly to aid in using your stamina more effectively. By the time you reach the advanced melee stage, your skill in expending more of your endurance to empower your attacks and movements will be more normal for you. I used to have the [Charge] skill, but it more or less disappeared from my menu list. I can do that without using the skill, now. You should grab one to help train that.”

“Power strike did seem fitting for my specialization, but I did see one that was more fitting for us. Mortal Strike. It doesn’t just cost endurance, but my own health.”

Ophelia nodded. “That’s quite a bit like my own abilities. Hestia’s flames are those of sacrifice, to heal others or attack with great power, I have to sacrifice my health, endurance, and mana.
