Third Cycle of Ioannes, Season of Summer.
The smell of fall hung in the air, summer would soon be ending, giving way to cooler days in the fall. It would be a lot more comfortable for Nymira since she had such hot fur, though in the shade of the trees in natura, it wasn't as bad. Jade enjoyed the summer and enjoyed fall, but she abhored the winter when it came, she hated snow and she hated the cold, it had always been tough on her when she wished to travel, though she didn't know if she would be traveling around much now. Jade smiled as she moved towards her favorite training ground, every place she went she found a place to train, near Coldlight in Prime and here in Whispering Meadows.
She had met with Avrie once before and sparred with her and that had been quite the experience and now it was time to spar with yet another Eventide, Austin had given her the invitition for a spar and she took such an oppurtunity well. She had no way of knowing how good he was with his weapon of choice nor had she ever sparred against a rapier, Avrie had weilded a katana herself. Nymira followed Jade as always, despite Jade's feelings for the Eventides, her bloodlust had to be taken into account as well. Throughout Jade's training, she had been taught that in every fight, there was a definite chance that she would die, so she was too fight with all she had in her and not stop until one of them was not breathing.
Hence Nymira was a fail safe for Jade, she was there to talk Jade down when she was fighting, keeping her grounded and keeping her from making a mistake that would ruin her life. Jade knew of this and appreciated her sister greatly for being there with her, despite the bickering, they were close as ever and no one could come between them. Jade left her bracers back in her room, knowing she wouldn't need them, all she carried was her staff, wearing a short sleeved dress that was easy to move in, she wanted to enjoy this spar, hoping that Austin provided a challenge for her. She hadn't been jesting when she said she played dirty, in a fight, one had to do anything they could to win, there was no such thing as an honorable fight when one wished to live.
She had left a message with Risess to give to Austin. It was simple and to the point really.

Meet me in the Whispering Meadows, bring your rapier.

As she waited for Austin to come, she took her time in stretching, getting herself limber enough. Once she felt she was stretched enough, she began to do various staff excercises, enjoying the fluid movement and anticipating a spar, as she always did. Nymira took her place beneath the trees and watched her sister closely, enjoying just relaxing and not having to worry about much.
