"Well their are rumors of a hunter like that. Mostly stories, the plaque on top of the Dire Miralis is one of them." Was how she started pausing her training. She dropped down from the tree she had been using to do crunches. Wiping the sweat from her brow and taking a drink from her water pouch she continued. "It was said he was the 'Hunter the guild held in highest esteem' or so they say. He even got the right to claim the highest rank, his secrecy and habit of traveling off the grid means that the announcement ceremony was never held and since the only other hunters to receive the rank are long forgotten no one even knows what the damn things called."

I... used to be able to do 300 of those (on the ground) in one sitting.

Sombra for his part only placed a hand upon her shoulder. She was slightly taken aback but the look on his face calmed her. He held some odd feeling of power and strength that reminded her of an Elder Dragon. It put her at ease. "Your father was brave and if he has you to return to I would like to believe he will." His words were but kindness but with it her sadness melted.

Let it not be said that even a once-tyrant can't show compassion and respect.

The training continued on grueling as it were, Sombra had altered the regimen to fit her smaller size. Sure by the end of it she would never be able to wield as much strength as he did but that was not the goal. Her light and agile frame would work perfectly and her already flashy and random fighting style could be hammered and tempered with her growing ability. Things were looking up for sure but time would be the one to tell if it would be enough.

Perhaps have her use a longsword, or a sword and shield?

She does use a sword and shield that was stated in a previous chapter.

Right. I forgot that after this long. Withdrawn.
