Had he known what would be awaiting him when he woke up, Ahren would have stayed sleeping for as long as possible. The tired apprentice stumbled his way on deck, having been driven out of his hammock by the call of nature. He had just relieved himself over the railings when he noticed Falk and Jelninolan on the quarterdeck, seemingly in conversation with Khara. Full of curiosity, he strolled over to them, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

‘Oh, you’re awake. Good. The three of us have just been discussing your further training’, said Falk merrily. There was a mischievous gleam in his eye and Ahren suddenly had a bad feeling in his stomach.

‘You…three? What further training? There’s no forest around here’, he said, confused, and realised immediately that Falk had been waiting for such a response.

The old Forest Guardian rubbed his hands together and looked firmly into Ahren’s eyes.

‘Good, we’re agreed on that. Seeing as I can’t teach you anything in the forest, and that running longer lengths is somewhat difficult on deck, we’ve been thinking about what other things we can work on. Khara is going to take over your training in sword fighting, and Jelninolan will teach both of you in the areas of balance, footwork and equilibrium. The ship is perfect for this. I’ll take over the aspects of strength and endurance. I’ve a few ideas concerning the ropes and rigging on the ship’.

Ahren swallowed hard and considered raising an objection. But the wary look on Falk’s face suggested that might not be the best idea. He gave an acquiescent nod, which sealed his fate for the next few days.
