Uther glanced up at the small group of chariots that had topped the rise behind where he and Cal were practising weapon skills with Ambrosius and some of the others. Groups of warriors from the various tribes had been drifting in for days now so it was only a momentary distraction. Sometimes a large group came in, but more often, it was smaller groups of two or three at a time, and then chariots and cavalry like those he had just seen, coming from one of the larger tribes or bands that had been part of the Roman army before it departed.

'Come on, Uther, concentrate!'

Uther snapped back in time to see the wooden sword flash towards him. He stepped to the side at the last moment and deflected the blow as Ambrosius had taught him, but his arms and shoulders were tiring. His guard dropped long enough for Ambrosius to jab him in the ribs and he fell to his knees, waiting for the pain to subside. As he crouched there, he wished he could go back into the warm roundhouse and dry out, but the practice would continue as it did every day while the army waited to do battle.

'You're doing better, little brother, but in battle, that sword would be real and it would have killed you.' Uther nodded, stood up, and launched himself at Ambrosius with a flurry of blows that drove the startled king stumbling back. When he had recovered himself, Ambrosius smiled, acknowledging a good combination of moves and some definite improvement from Uther.
