A new student. Cecil was happy with his last student's accomplishments. Slythor was his newest student. He was ready for the challenge of another. He felt that this place had him there for a reason. He smiled and looked at the clock. It was just about time to get this next session underway. The child should be here at any moment...

Slythor came in quite contentedly. He looked , yawning. Obviously it was still early for him, he looked a little sleepy. He looked around for a moment, examining his surroundings. It was better to do so. He did not want to hurt himself here for nothing. He looked at his supposed teacher, and examined him too. He would not admit it, but he was nervous, and so did nothing as he waited for the teacher to make the first move. He felt somewhat ashamed of his fear, but ignored it. As father said, pride was bad.

Cecil saw his student standing on the other side of the room. He brightened right up and smiled, walking closer to him. Throughout his walk, he was examining what Cecil thought as Slythor's strengths and weaknesses. And why in all the world did he have a bird? Anyways, that wasn't the point. He was just looking the child over and wondering what he could do to help him.
"Hello! I'm your teacher for this melee class. My name is Cecil. You must be Slythor. I've been waiting for you. Well, how do you do? Tell me a few things about yourself before we get started." Cecil said smiling. He always liked to get to know his students before moving on with any actual training. It helped him in some way or another.

"Hello. There's not much to say about me actually. I have a bird. I look kinda funny. I don't know how to fight and you're supposed to teach me." He grinned contently. His bird flapped its wings and chirped, seemingly equally content. It gazed at Cecil, on high alert and at the same time curious of this new stranger. He flew quietly over to bite at the stranger's ear.
Slythor grinned. "Sorry, he does that. He must like you."

The big bird flew upon Cecil. Cecil just laughed. He was going to allow the bird, it seemed like he was almost a companion of sorts. "Oh, it's fine. Nice to know you have at least one loyal friend in life, I always loved my loyal comrades." he said rather happily.
He then decided to ask, "Well, what do you like to do? What are you interested in learning? I have actually a wide selection of weapons to choose from. They are right over there. Unless you'd rather learn more about your own defenses first. That's what my last student had. He learned about how he could defend himself, by himself."
He looked at his newest student, he jotted some things down on his notepad and then went on over to the case full of weapons.

The bird flew off at the weapons mentioned by the teacher. It landed softly on a dagger handle, chirping before lifting it off its older and flying back, gently landing it in Slythor's waiting hands. It then landed contentedly on his shoulder, chirping as if trying to speak.
Slythor grinned and looked at the dagger. "Well my Bird chose. Teach me how to use this thing. It looks fun."

Cecil smiled. "A short dagger it is. Now, with this weapon, you need to learn how to use it with a flowing motion. Swing it around, but with a defensive type of movement. Here I'll show you." he said smiling.
He walked over to the case and picked up a dagger of the same size. He then moved towards Slythor, swinging the weapon, keeping his entire body low to the ground by bending his knees, using the dagger in his right hand, using his left hand as a blocker. He did this type of form, which made it seem like he was actually fighting another person, but there was no person there.
"Alright, now you try. Just keep your other hand, whichever hand you don't use to hold it, keep that as a blocker, and use the dagger as a defensive weapon more than an offensive one. Keep your whole body lower to the ground." he said, standing back, waiting for the child to do some kind of moves.

Slythor watched with a bit of awe. He closed his eyes and tried to do the same, however he fell over. "Ugh!" He groaned in pain. The dagger went clattering to the floor as his bird flew off, squawking in surprise. He got up to grasp the dagger again and once again tried. Too bad hoofed feet were not good for balancing.Neither was the fact his legs were like a deer's.
"Am I doing better?"

Cecil realized that this student was going to be a bit more difficult, but only because of his physical appearance. Other than that, he would be doing fine. He smiled and wrote down some notes about this student.
"Yes, you are. You didn't fall after all. You are a bit wobbly. Don't worry, you just need to strengthen your leg muscles. They will be able to hold you up better with more training. Also, your wing is beautiful. You could use that as a major distraction in your defense as well. Flap it a bit. The faster you flap, the more distracted your enemy will become." he stated. He then continued, "Now, just do some squats to strengthen your muscles. We need to do something about that before moving on. Sure, they won't strengthen right now, but with time, they will." He then stretched out his arms and did a squat to show his student what he was looking for.

Slythor nodded and he did his best to squat with the other. however only after a few he whined. "It hurts." He spoke, acting much younger than he was with two words. His bird flapped its wings and shifted its feet, as if agreeing that it felt the same pain as its companion. Slythor smiled and pet the bird contentedly.

"You can do it! Just keep at it!" he said smiling. He then stood up and walked closer to Slythor. He was ready to let the boy go, but holding it a few more minuets wouldn't hurt. Strengthening his legs was an important part of learning how to use this dagger.
He then said, "Alright, you can go ahead and stand up. Now, stretch them out, and try it again, just once more." He then smiled and stood, writing down information on his clipboard.

Slythor groaned when the other told him to do it again. However he did as he was told, still content with the thought that one day he could fight with this. The thought of that made him feel powerful. He growled contently at the thought, driving away pain with a child's wild imagination.

"That's fine Slythor." Cecil said smiling. He didn't really have much else to say to that.
He was a good boy. "Now, try and keep that lowness to the ground and try swiping at me with the dagger in hand." he said smiling. He then readied himself.

Slythor nodded as he was told. He went to that lowness despite his legs screaming and he tried to attack his teacher, trying to cut him in more than what a student should normally want. He wanted to see some blood, for what reason he didn't know... but he wanted to get better with his weapon.

Slythor seemed very determined. Cecil, was at the most, happy to see that much from him. He decided to give the kid a little glory. He slowed his steps, allowing Slythor to get very close with hitting him, and maybe even cut him every once in a while.
By the time Cecil decided to stop it all, he had a few cuts on his arms, one on his leg, and a few on his stomach and chest. This kid really worked fast. He didn't enjoy the pain, but hopefully that would allow the kid to understand that he could do it. Plus, not everyone is nearly as fast as Cecil, so slowing down was a good thing as well.
"Well, I think we're almost done. You did a great job today. I'm very proud. Anything else you'd like to know before we call it quits?" he asked, smiling.
