Three weeks had passed since Grandmaster Ceberune Onyxclaw had recovered from his brush with death. From the second floor windows of her room, Bianca watched the wolf practice and train his forms. His recovery had been long and painful. Bomani stood behind her as she watched the wolf pummel a training dummy with a stout wooden staff. It was not a weapon she was used to seeing him using, so she was watching with interest as his much improved footwork made him look like a stumbling drunk.

Bomani chuckled. "Drunken style. When in the nine hells did he learn that one?" he commented as the wolf spun the staff and staggered to the right, popping the dummy in the "face" with the butt of the staff. Behind the two of them a worn out voice answered.

"Oh come now, you know that Suzujomei was never a jealous master. He encouraged his students to learn any and all styles that they could." Bianca chuckled. "Nadia finally let you out of your cage?" She quipped. "If that is a prison, I would happily spend the rest of my days with such an enthusiastic pleasure slave as that." He said tiredly. "But yes, it seems her heat has passed finally. Just try not to teach her too much about the wolf...she learned that little trick of forcing a male to silence after asking a question that she knows requires a no..." he said looking balefully at the bunny. Bianca laughed. "I taught her no such thing Alhundro. Is she asleep?" she asked. "No, she has been released to go and see her master. She has been starving for his company for a couple of weeks now." Bomani chuckled. "The Hunt?" Alhundro rubbed his chin in thought. "Now that you mention it, I think so..." he said. Bianca sighed. "She has her work cut out for her then. The wolf had thick walls before he went to school, they thinned somewhat due to Helenka's attentions, but they have thickened and fortified now with her death." Alhundro chuckled. "She is patient...if she is any good with a bow she might qualify for Sharp Shooter school." He said. Bomani quirked an eyebrow. "How would you know that?" he asked. Alhundro laughed. "Any female who can ambush and pounce a male when she is in heat is patient, tactically minded, and with training can be made to focus on the battlefield instead of pounding a poor monarch into whatever she happens to have him pinned to." He commented. Bianca chuckled. "An aggressive female Kitsune? That wolf is done for..." she said.

Bomani chuckled. "She is up to speed on what has happened over the past few weeks then?" Alhundro nodded. "As much as I had access to she was informed of...How in the nine hells did he just do that?" The fox asked catching sight of the training wolf and watching him pull off a particularly difficult strike. Bianca chuckled. "The Elementals are sending him servants Alhundro. The Void and Earth have sent elementals to aid him." The fox looked surprised. "An Amarok with Elementals? Did someone sketch his expression when he saw them?" The King said with some amusement. "No, and it was not half as amusing as we thought it would have been either. His grasp of Teralingua was also impressive." The fox chuckled. "Not surprising. That wolf is a frighteningly fast learner. Suzujomei is one of the foremost Sensei in the East. What on Sarthas is he doing now?" he asked as the wolf's fur suddenly stood on end.

Bianca chuckled. "He is practicing how to call combat orders to the elements." She said as the next strike of the staff made the earth around the practice dummy sprout spikes, impaling the target suddenly. "Goddess!" The king exclaimed as he watched the carnage. Bianca smiled. "It gets better..." she said as the wolf jammed the end of the staff into the ground as the wolf now approached the target dummy bare pawed. A simple bark and the impaling spikes blew away on the mild wind of the courtyard. In that instant, the wolf had landed over a dozen bare fisted blows on the dummy, all of them landing with sickening cracks and snaps of wood as the dummy splintered and hung limply from its single support pole. "You may want to hang onto something Alhundro..." Bomani suggested as more blows rained down on the remains of the dummy until it finally fell to the ground. Having just witnessed this impossible spectacle, Alhundro quickly grabbed a hold of a nearby support, just in time as the flying double stomp landed on the mangled remains of the cloth, wood and straw dummy. The impact of the blow caused the whole mansion to shake as the earth obeyed its new master's orders.

"And here I thought all those quakes were because the local fault was acting up again..." Alhundro exclaimed in wonder as the wolf stepped back and bowed to his defeated foe. Bomani chuckled. "The first one was. At the request of the Grand Master, the Earth had fused the fault, and has instead infused his blows with the pressure that builds up there due to the lack of movement..." Bianca smiled. "He has been granted the strength and blessing of Earth now Alhundro." She said proudly. As the wolf started to walk back towards the mansion, only to hesitate at something he saw. Bomani chuckled. "Ten talons says he just saw Nadia." Alhundro chuckled. "Royals do not bet on a sure thing." He said with a giggle from Bianca. Bomani chuckled again. "Ah, there she is." He said, noting the fox in her typical seductive but simple dress. She sat quietly, waiting for her master's orders, and much to Bianca's annoyance, she noted the wolf could not even look the female in the eyes as he turned away and walked towards the gardens instead of the mansion to start the mid day meal. "If that wolf isn't back here cooking lunch within the hour..." she said. Bomani chuckled. "The dragon's student has recovered remarkably well from his brush with death Bianca. The soul, however, requires more time to heal from such a wound." Bianca grumbled. "He has had three damned weeks..." she was interrupted by Alhundro. "..to deal with the death of the only female that had broken through his defenses. He knows Nadia is related, yes?" he asked, Bomani nodded somberly. "He knows, which is likely why he walked away instead of trying to ignore her. He feels responsible for this entire mess." He said.

"Hrmph." The Bunny grunted. "Damned wolf is just looking for attention..." she said. Bomani chuckled. "Said the repressed and sex hungry little princess." The tiger teased. She turned on him with annoyance on her face, only to melt into one of his kisses. "Did I ever tell you how much I hate it when you spoil a perfectly good rant?" she said huskily after the kiss broke. Alhundro chuckled at his answer. "Long, hard, and often little princess..." he said as she slipped a paw into his trousers. The King made himself scarce as their petting became heavier.
