"Well you won't be needing it lad" she said with raised eyebrows. She left them for a moment then returned with two heavey wooden short spars. "You'll train with this, it means when you pick up a sword you'll have greater endurace, streanth and dexterity. I don't know how you were trained by you're Pirate freinds Jack, but River pirates are taught this way." she threw a spar to Melain and held the other expertly. "Now lets see the coulor of you're blood sea-rat" she said with a fake snarl.

"Scars give life long lessons," Jack said sitting down.
Melian took the wooden sword, giving Jack a frigthend look. He was now glad Shalem had agreed to teach him.
Then Melian looked back at Shalem, not quite knowing what to do. "Rigth," he said. Then he did as he had seen the pirate crew had done a million times, lifted the sword and amed it for Shalems arm and hit.

Without seeming to move she disarmed him. "Pick it up, now hold it as you were doing and watch me." this time she moved slower so that he could watch her. "Now i will attck you and you must defend you'reslef and disarm me." swiftly she battered him then took the same shot that he had earlier, hopeing he would manage it.

He nodded and tryed. But it was going to fast for him. She hit his arm, and he lost his wooden sword. He was angry whit himselfe and took it up again. He now relised what would have happened if Jack had thougth him.

"Stop" she gave him a smile "Don't feel bad, i threw you in at the deep end and you haven't drowed, thats good." she came over beside him and corrected his grip. "Now i'l teach you three movments. You only need the basic three, you will practice them so that they come automatically to you, and if they don't, when i change the sequence you'll get hurt. Now block, thrust, cut, block, thrust, cut..." she kept repeating the sequence next to him so that he could join in with the actions"

He joined her saying it: "block, thrust, cut..." Putting all his consentration into it.
Jack smile as he watched them, laying down on the floor in a relacing pisition.

She stepped round so she was faceing him and joined him in her own dance "Carry on, block, thrust, cut cumon" as he carried on she changed the oder for her self, ie thrust, block, cut. So that thier spars clashed aginst each other at every moment.

Melian smiled, "I am doing it," he said.
Chalrey laughed, she had come down while they had been prictesing. Melian saw her and lost track of the rythem, and got hit and lost the wooden sword again. He quiqly picked it up.
But Charley just smiled, "good," she said smiling to Shalem and Melian.
Then she looked at Jack, "Are you finiched alredy?" she asked him.
"Aye capt'n I am," Jack awnsered sitting up, "I work fast you know."
"You got help, you mean?" she said giving him a hard look.
"Aye capt'n," he said.
"Then say so. I'll cut out your tunge some day!" she said thretening, but whit a smal smile.
"I know, capt'n," he said whit a grin.
Charley sigthed, giving up.
She turned to Melian and Shalem, "It is about time you learn Melian," she said sitting down, "Mind me watching?"

Shalem gave a grin, now for the pressure. "Of course he dosn't mind, do you Melian." she laughed. "That was good, but you can't depend on you're opponant to use a complementary sequance. You've got the tecnique so you should be fine, i'm going to attack you useing those moves but mixed up, you have to defend. Go"

He did the same, trying to forget that the captain was watching. The wooden swords meet ones, and again, and he got the hang of it. But then he ofcourse in the end he did a mystace and again lost his sword. He piced it up angery, looking at the captain from the corner of his eyes.

"Hey" she put her hand on one shoulder "Relax, everyone makes mistakes, and the Cap'n dosn't think any worse of you for it. I'm sure she made just as many when she learnt, aye Cap'n" she asked with a look.

Charley smiled, "Of course. You are going to drop that sword at least a thousand times untill you are really good. I know I have. I that not right Jack?" she asked Jack whom ones again was laying on the floor. "Oh, em, of course. But you would not have lost it as many times if you had used a real sword. More dangerus then you know." he said.
Charley gave him an anoyed look, "I dont think that is true Jack! He is trying his best already." she looked down on him, "and get up, you can sleep when you are suposed too." He got to his feet. "Aye."
Melian was now giving a smal grin.

"If we'd been useing real swords i would have cut you for that remark on my teaching methods Jack" she said with not a quite so sincere laugh. "Now then, as Jack has proven that he knows nothing about swords, and the Cap'n has admitted that she wasn't a geniuse child..." she grinned at Charley. "You needen't take any notice of them." while she finished the sentace she attacked him.
