Treant woke up to the smell of strong Garlic and the stench of stale beer. As his eyes opened he found himself in a dark room with a dim lighted lamp in the far corner. He also heard sounds of thunking against a padded object. He also saw a shirtless dwarf kicking, punching and doing movements to a padded object he had never seen before.
"Sit ye back down, or get up completly!" The dwarf yelled not even turning around.
Treant shot up in a moment remembering the beating he had just taken. "Where am I?" Treant asked watching the dwarf.
"Ye are in me dojo." The dwarf said combining more attacks at the padded object. "well are ye going to stand der and watch or are ye going to learn?" the dwarf sneered hitting the object harder.
Treant moved closer to the object Grifenger was hitting on.
"No not dis, ye are not ready for dis yet, over der grab dat weight and tie it around yer feet. Once you have it secure jump 50 times." the dwarf said stopping his attacks and pointing to a great large stone in the corner of the room.
"We train hard and ye need to be built like a stone" the dwarf said tying the stone around Treants legs. "Ye not be fast enough yet so I will do it for ye." The dwarf muttered.
"Whhaat..."was all Treant was able to get out before he had the stone tied around his legs.
"Now Jump!" the dwarf yelled punching him in the shoulder, much lighter this time.
Treant started jumping..."1......2.......3........4........5..... .6......7...8...9...10......" treant counted outloud until he got to 39, then he stopped breathing hard. "My legs, day....they are going to break off...."Treant said huffing air.
"If ye dont finish Ill break dem off" the dwarf muttered tying a solid black belt around his waist and sterring back at Treant with a look that said. "Yes I will Break your legs."
Once Treant saw that look he started jumping again, slowly but at least he started.
"45.....46.....47....48.................49........ ..............50" Treant said falling to the floor.
"Get ye lazy weak gnomish hide off my floor." The dwarf said charging at Treant with a knife.
Treant horrified knowing he could not defend himself just stood there....still, to exhusted to continue. To his amazment the dwarf cut the string around the gnomes legs.
"Now ye see dem stair cases over der? Run dem 50 times!...now!" Grifinger shouted dragging the gnome over to the stairs.
Treant started stumbiling up the stairs, out of breath his legs weaker then a fae trying to carry a mountian. Slowly he began to climb the stair cases. He looked up there must have been at least 50 stairs.
"when yer done dat you will tie de stone around your arms and lift your arms over yer head 100 times." The dwarf coughed. "And when your done dat you will run back and forth in dis room 500 times." The dwarf grinned. It seemed like this was the punishment for trying to brawl with him.
And so started Treants long journey to training.
"Oh I might tell ye, welcome to yer first day of Tessared-Tohiba training. I am Master Grinfinger." the dwarf laughed sitting down, putting his feet up he sliced into a piece of fruit.
"Ye will do this every day 3 times a day for one cycle! You will do nothing but sleep and train. Nothing more. And to make sure of dis my student over here will watch you." Grinfinger said pointing to a katta sitting in a corner laughing.
"Once yer cycle has ended you will den be ready to learn." the dwarf said getting up and leaving.
Treant continued his workout. Tired, sweating, weak, and ready to pass out.
