-Polearm Training-

Emily decided to train Graghatum about the basics of polearms and so they spent a while going over the 4 beginner defensive blocks and counters you can start learning with. They went over them and both got some practice with them.

(Pretty much 20 minutes)

-Shield Training-

Emily had finished the training with polearms she and Grag did. They felt like they could do more with their time and so Grag decided to train Emily about Shields. Grag taught her the types of shields first and then gave her some experience with them by handing her his shield and hitting it. Emily learned that using a shield requires some skill as you have to actually keep the shield steady so that an attacker's weapon doesn't slide up or down the shield too much risking yourself getting hit. They continued to hit and block for quite some time.

-Physical/Strength Training-

(3rd time doing this Training)
Emily decided she needed to do her morning training for the day and invited Grag to join her as they have been working together on the weapon training. Emily told him to grab a log and hold it over his head and she did the same. She told him to imagine a barrage of arrows flying towards you and the log being your shield as Glacius had taught her. They ran up and down hills, through sand and water, and back to the location they had begun. They then were clearly sweating up a storm and exhausted but they weren't done yet as the training regiment was longer than just a long run. They both did 40 push-ups and by this time Emily was having trouble moving her arms. They moved on to squats and did 80 of those. This tired the both of them out being drenched and tired Emily lay there thinking about how miserable she will be for the next couple hours. She plans to do this every day. 

(About 20 minutes)


-Reading-

After all of the Physical Training, Emily needed to relax. She sat on her bed at the church and opened her book. She opened to the 4th chapter where she is now beginning since she read the first 3 chapters already. She once more fixed her eyes in her book reading and trying to understand every word she could. She paid close attention to all the details of the light, eternal flame, and any other information she can get. After one page she would flip to the next paying no mind to her surroundings, just focused on the book in front of her. She flipped page after page until she got to the end of the chapter. For the first time, she re-read the chapter to make sure she has everything in that chapter for the most part memorized. Learning words is getting easier as she has experience reading so often.

(Roughly 30 Minutes)

-Prayer-

After reading her novel she decided to go up to the altar and pray. She made the most of her time realizing she might as well as she is still in the church. In her prayer, she asks the light once more to vessel her and help her grow enough to the point she can help her friends and comrades in the heretic war. Not only that but anything that may stand in the way of the safety of the people of Karrack as well as the Church.

-Physical/Strength Training-

Emily once more went to Nar Shadaw to do her daily workout. After all of the previous workouts she felt somewhat stronger and felt as if though she could step up her training. This time she started off with the normal run up and down the hills, through the sand and water, and back to the start. This time though, she didn't feel as tired as normal and she did another loop. She came back almost not wanting to do the rest of the workout as she was extremely tired. She proceeded without rest to drop the log and get down onto her belly. She did 50 pushups in quick succession and fell to the ground getting sand stuck to her face after all the sweating. She then stood up and did 100 squats. After this, she once more fell to the ground exhausted. She questioned herself a bit after the workout thinking whether or not she's doing enough. Perhaps in the future she will increase her exercise load. 

-Reading-

Emily after having an interesting discussion with a curious brother and sister about Emily's race and ears, she went to the church to read her book. She sat down on her bed after walking down the stairs of the church to her room. She opened her book to the 6th chapter. It was her 6th time reading. Emily would nod her head down planting her face into the words of the book as she curiously read the new text that was brought forth to her. The knowledge was sinking into her brain as she learns so much more about the light and these holy ancient texts. There was also some information on her family that she was able to uncover, although nothing too important. She was able to find a couple riddles in the text and figured some out. It furthered her thinking in the book as she continued gazing up and down the letters and words written in it. She would be able to decipher a lot of ancient texts and hopefully, she learned something new.

-Prayer-

Emily finished reading and walked up the stairs in the church. She glanced at the altar and made her way towards it kneeling in front of it. She placed both hands together and bowed with her eyes closed in respect for the light. She would begin her prayer hopefully increasing her bond with the light. Emily prayed for her close friends and wished them all good luck and good fortune as the light was very generous. She left another flower on the altar hoping it would make a decent offering as she passionately respected and loved the light and the people who believe and worship it.
