Shedir had been working hard lately to get as strong as possible. She felt like in her current state she wasn't near as strong as she needed to be to protect. So all morning she had been in the woods near the park trying to train. Luckily no one really came out here so she had the whole wooded area to herself. The only thing was it was really boring practicing by herself. She felt like she had been kicking and hitting the same tree for what felt like hours.
"Man I wish everyone wasn't busy today. I really could use someone to train with," she said to herself as she went to get a drink from her water bottle nearby. She had tried to reach her friends, but all of them went to Senshi voicemail. She sighed as she chugged down her drink. She felt a wave of questions wash over her. Like was she training hard enough? Was she doing the right training? Was it making a difference? She wished there was someone she could train with since she wasn't sure she was really making a difference.

Silistra was out and about she had been making it a point to get out more and to try to communicate with others better. She had been feeling like she was more and less than she was before and she wanted to do her part to help the city and the senshi who protected the city. She was moving through an area when she noticed someone with a water bottle, it wasn't something she saw every day. She did like it though she should likely be trying to stay more hydrated herself while she was doing patrols. She moved slowly since she didn't want to startle the young senshi. "Hello there." She said softly. She wasn't really sure what else to say but she figured a greeting was a good place to start. She felt a little more comfortable with younger people lately after she had spent the summer helping young people with various things. The STEM camp and the young person she had met at the farmers market had been really nice. She still had issues with older people and found it hard to connect with them, but she was doing her best to get more comfortable with social things.

Shedir turned around quickly when she heard a person's voice. She was so distracted she didn't even notice anyone was nearby. She was slightly startled, but quickly regained her composure. She closed her water bottle and quickly set it back down. She looked at the person and realized that thankfully it was an order person. Since if it had been a Chaos person she hadn't noticed. Well let's just say she would have needed lots more training.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Well hello there! Are you out here to train too?" Part of her hoped they were since maybe just maybe they might be open to training together. Since its always better to practice with something that moved and didn't stay in one place like a tree.

She hadn't been expecting that response to her greeting, "Well not really, but perhaps we should start with an introduction." She paused and said "I am Silistra squire of Saturn." She then waited to find out who the young senshi was, they were clearly enthusiastic about training and growing stronger. "I would be happy to help you train though." She said in a soft tone. She certainly wouldn't go to hard on the chibi senshi since she would be stronger than her power-wise. "I don't have combat magic, so it would just be physical attacking on my end, but if you want to use your magic I am fine with that."

Shedir immediately realized that was all her adrenaline from training pumping. She hadn't worded her greeting right at all."Oh I'm so sorry. I just asked, since this place is a good place to train I just assumed you might be," she said in an apologetic tone. She really hoped she hadn't come off rudely. Sometimes she asks questions without even thinking about how they might come off to someone else.
"It's wonderful to meet you, Silistra! I'm Shedir, Super Senshi of Mummies!" she said kindly with a smile. The second she heard their offer she couldn't help but do a little cheer in excitement. She had only met one knight before, so seeing what another knight could do sounded wonderful to her.
"That would be amazing! Thank you, since I'll be honest this tree doesn't really give me much of a fight," she said with a laugh as glanced at the tree she had been using for her training.

She smiled a little and nodded "Think nothing of it." She wasn't too bothered but she was often caught off guard in social situations, She smiled a bit more and then said "It is very nice to meet you." She then looked at the tree and she shook her head "In this city I wouldn't be surprised if a tree did have the power to fight back at some point." She shook her head. She nodded and then said "Alright then give me your best shot and we will go from there."

Shedir was happy this knight seemed to be nice and was glad she hadn't offended them. Since honestly she hated offending people. When she heard the tree comment she laughed. The comment was funny, but so on point. In this city she would be more surprised to find out something wasn't full of magical powers.
"You make a great point there," she said with a smile before she readied her stance. "Sounds like a plan to me. Mummified Phoenix let your wings soar," she said before putting her arms out in front of her. Then her mummy bandages begin to start glowing, and her magical mummy bandages begin to unravel. As it does a Phoenix forms and heads towards Silistra.
She hoped her attack would be a good enough shock. She wanted to see if any of her training had paid off. Plus she couldn't wait to see what this knight Silistra had to offer.Mummified Phoenix If the attack hits it binds the enemy in a stronger mummified bond. Now this attack can be stopped: the bandages will lose strength if they are attacked. Depending on how many attacks/how strong the attack. If no one attacks them then the bandages could last longer, but if they are attacked the bandages could lose strength or just begin falling off.

Silistra jumped out of the way of the bandages coming towards her, playing defensive for the moment. She found it ironic that her own power was about binding wounds while Shedir used binding to control. It was really interesting how many different powers there were from person to person. She didn't attempt to attack back just yet. Since her powers had nothing to do with attacking she figured fighting a senshi she needed to be careful what she was doing. She also didn't want to hurt the young senshi. Then again she also didn't want to baby the young senshi either.

Shedir was impressed - Silistra has really quick reflexes. The way she dodged her wraps was quick. She waited for a moment to see if she did anything. After a few she realized she wasn't attack. She decided that if she wasn't going to attack well she wasn't going to hold back.
"Well I can't wait to see what you can do. Until then let me show you what else I got. Mummy Wraps go!" she said as she once again watched her wraps head towards Silistra. Except this time she they weren't anything special just wraps.
She hoped maybe the second time was the charm. Either way it was wonderful getting some real practice in.

Silistra kept up her dodging, but she still couldn't get close enough to hit the chibi with her lantern. This was really hard to do, she wasn't much of a warrior but it was a good workout for both of them. She needed practice just as much as anyone else. She landed back on the ground. It was hard to know how much magic a senshi had, she didn't know much about chibi senshi to know how many attacks they could do in a battle.

Shedir hated to admit it but this battle was wearing her out a bit. Her opponent was good, and she was dodging everything she could throw. She had been training for awhile, and using her magic on top of that. She felt her strength waning, and knew that she could not keep up this pace for much longer. She had to find a way to win the battle before her energy was completely drained.
So instead of attacking with magic she decided to get close up and personal. She quickly rushed towards her opponent. By getting close to her opponent, she was able to take advantage of her physical strength, which was still relatively intact. Her opponent might have been expecting her to use magic again, so her sudden change in tactics was surprising and allowed her to catch them off guard.
"Well here goes nothing," she said out loud as she attempted to use her leg to trip up her opponent. She didn't know if it would work, but she wanted to try. She wanted to show that despite her age, she had the strength to keep up but after this move she wasn't sure what to do.

Silistra wasn't expecting the change in tactics and she was not good at frontal combat so she fell down when she came at her going in to trip her. She then looked for a way to get back up quickly, since if this was a real battle she couldn't just lay on the ground and hope for the best. She was still trying to regain her feet. She huffed a breath and said "I think I need more training as well."

Shedir noticed that it worked and got up and held out her hand for Silistra. She decided that since she was starting to wear down maybe this was a good place to stop. After all this was the best training she had ever had. She was able to think out of the box and it worked.
"Here let me help you up. Honestly me too!" she said with a smile her hand still extended. "But I think this was a good training run. We should do it again sometime. But I was thinking if you are as tired as me. Would you like to join me for some smoothies or milkshakes?"
She knew this wasn't how real battles went, but she also knew that it was important not to completely exhaust yourself. And she felt like she learned a lot. Like that sometimes magic isn't what will win the fight. This was a lesson she needed to learn, and thanks to this spare she had.

She allowed Shedir to help her up and she nodded and then sighed and said "I'm sorry I'm not much of a warrior, I'm really a healer not a fighter.." She paused and bit her lip. "That is a very nice idea but I'm not sure if that is a good idea.." She gestured to her outfit and since it wasn't a holiday, where senshi and knight outfits would be overlooked. "And I don't think we should risk letting your civilian identity out to just anyone, we have only just met after all." She said softly "But if you like we can train together sometime.."

Shedir just smiled. She understood what she meant since her friend Christabel was the same way. She wanted to be a fighter but she really was so jolly sometimes it was hard for her too. She was cute like that - she literally was the human being that instilled Christmas spirit.
Once she saw she was standing back up she replied, "Thats okay you did a great job for someone whose not a fighter. Plus healing is important too!" She understood what she meant, but honestly everyone just thought she was cosplaying whenever she went out. and with Halloween around the corner she may or may not have come up with the line I work for a haunted house. After all looking like this who wouldn't believe her.
"That makes sense well in that case - lets change together again! I'll look forward to it. Here's my number for whenever you want to try again," she said while getting out a piece of notebook paper and writing down her number. Once she wrote it down she handed it to Silistra with a smile.
After that she decided that she really did want that smoothie or milkshake. So she turned and head off. She stopped and said, "Until next time then!" she waved and off she went. Ready to enjoy a yummy snack.
