After a weak in the bed, Jane and Fern finally got rid of Ray's care. So when the sun started to rise two gentle delicate hands shook Jane awake.
-No. Is to soon I need more sleep. - Jane says without open her eyes.
-Fern is in the training camp and you need to go now! - Ty said as picked up Jan's blanks.
Very upset Jane open her eyes and say:
-But I need a shower, breakfast and ...
Ty mercilessly flipped Jane's training clothes and said:
-You have two minutes for changing. If you are late, say goodbye to your lunch.
-Wait, I nee... - She cannot respond because Ty vanishes in the next second. Even grudgingly she changed her clothes quickly.
After exactly two minutes, Ty appears to grab Jane's arm and vanish again. Again she found herself underground, but this was a different area. Weapons and objects were scattered and targets could be seen in the distance.
-Uncle, why do I need to train so early in the morning? - Jane said rubbing her eyes.
-And I am here thinking that you could have started training last week. We don´t have enough time, every second count.
Due to the seriousness of fern´s words, she woke up from her sleep stupor.
-Right master. I'm read.
-Good. You will be training your body every day. No breakfast for three months, only lunch and dinner. Jane this will be hard, but your body needs so much improvement. Ty will help you. She can cure your fatigue one time for the day and massage your body before sleep. There will be no holidays or breaks. Every day you will have two hours to do what you want before you go to sleep, but no more. Your sleep time is crucial for growth. Do you think you can do that?
The reality once more crush in Jane's life. No travels for this world, no long sunday's with her father's presence. This will be much harder then go to school five days a week. But she doesn´t be weak and will grow strong, so no one could take nothing her and she will help her dear father.
-Master, I will do my best. Trust me!
-Amazing. So we can be begging.
In the first weak she runs and learns to swim. Jane continued to do this until she could run for hours without losing her breath and swim for hundreds of meters without losing her pace.
After that, she not stop swimming and running but start also the sword training. Her arms looked like they would fall off at first, but over time she got used to it too.
On the days when tiredness seemed to get the better of her Ty was always by her side. They talked about life and what they liked. In Jane's two hours off they looked at the stars and talked about their dreams.
-Did you know Ty that I love and admire my father too much right? Now that I'm living with him, I really want to be able to meet the expectations he has for me. I want to be strong, so no one will be able to get me out of it. When I was in my world I didn't want anything particularly in my life, but here I have a purpose. It's weird, but sometimes I miss it, you know. My mother always fixed my hair and nails. She said that a girl needs to take care and love herself because only I can do this for myself. Everything seems so superficial and meaningless now. Just yesterday I lost my index finger and I don't even care about my appearance anymore. My life before all this was very funny. But what about you Ty? You listen to me and never say anything. As your friend, I want to know more about you too.
They looked at each other and looked at each other in complicity.
-My mother is a very strict person. Our lands are sexist and it is not common to see a woman at the top of a clan. But my mother was always very strong and crushed the prejudice of other families with brute force. She is the type of woman who has always been beautiful, but no one would refer to her as weak. When I was born she wanted me to be like her. It taught me to be strong, but also feminine. It showed me how cruel and unreliable men can be. She has a lot of expectations for me. And it is extremely heavy to carry that burden. So for me to be here with you is like taking a long vacation. I still train hard. I am on watch all the time, but my clan's expectations and concerns are not here. And hearing about your world, even without magic, makes me extremely curious. I was never able to have a friend, my mother didn't think anyone was good enough. You are my first and most precious friend Jane.
-So, it's decided Ty we will be best friends forever.
Since that conversation, the two started to get closer and closer. Jane always used to invade Ty's bath, with the excuse that best friends were always together.
-Ty your skin is so beautiful! How could you be so pretty without no care and beauty creams! Give me this soap and I will soap your back.
The red in Ty's ears stood out in contrast to her olive skin, but nothing could stop Jane's nimble hands. Since Ty was Jane's bodyguard, their bedroom was connected and they shared the bathroom. Soon, Ty could never avoid Jane's attacks when she was in the bath.
-I will never get used to this bathroom! It's like a room with a giant pool! and those magic lights are much weaker than the fluorescent lights in my world!
-Didn't you know that too much light is bad for the body? This lighting is perfect.
-Ty, you is high then me. How old are you?
-Fourteen.
-Your breasts don't grow yet. I think my breasts will be much bigger than yours because my mom has really big breasts.
-Hey Jane!!! Take over your hands! I don't like this!!! You can't touch my breasts my mother says that I will mature later!
Jane thinks that Ty is very mad this time. But she is so timid that she can't help but bully her.
The truth is that due to so much training she felt very alone. Her father had to travel due to an emergency and in the last two months, then only they three were left. She and her uncle continued to peck whenever possible because they both loved the look of despair on Ty's face every time they did that. Still, it seemed that Jane was missing something.
It was during one of those free hours that she found him training in one of the corners of the clan castle. Ty had been busy these past few days and Jane decided to explore every corner of the castle. That was when she found an external training ground used by new recruits. He seemed to be the same age as her and was training with the sword alone. His technique and pose were not very refined, he made many unnecessary movements. Even having trained sword for just a month, due to Fern's strict treatment she could clearly see his faults.
-Did you know that if you move your feet a little further and bend your knees a little, your stability and strength have improved a lot?
He looked doubtful by the information given. But after a second an air of recognition took over and he then responded politely:
-Thanks for your advice, your highness.
-You can't need to speak so formally. Call me Jane. Maybe we could be friends.
And that's how Jane got her precious second friend.
