A Pact of Kingdoms Part III
Gaspar and Juba stood silently as they watched the training of new recruits taking place in the courtyard. Juba was still dressed in his robes but carried his spear with him, and a dagger on his left hip. He traded his slippers for leather riding boots and fashioned a heavy dyed yellow sheepskin cloak to protect him from the Apheasean snow. The recruits were getting schooled in the art of combat by a lean rough looking brute with long and tangled brownish-blonde hair down to his neck. He sported black leather trousers with calf high boots that were standard issue in the king’s army. The brute was training shirtless and didn’t seemed bothered by the freezing temperatures. His cool grey eyes were half focused on his opponent, half focused on the wine sack near the rest of his equipment. He and the recruit were in a training circle with wooden swords. The recruit was pressing his attack, but the brute parried every blow with ease while laughing. The crowd of recruits were cheering for their fellow comrade until he made the unfortunate mistake of knocking the sword out of the brute’s hand and connecting with a punch to the face.
