Training Sigismar
386 AC - Combat Lesson
Sigismar saluted and stood en garde as Jeanne took position. Her determination could be mistaken for severity. Sigismar had never faced such intensity, presence, or poise. Her bearing was impeccable, posture excellent.
As she took steps toward Sigismar, he stepped backwards reacting to her determination, fortitude, and radiance. Sigismar couldn’t let himself give up ground. He struck and she stopped attack with flat of shield. He lunged again and she parried strike with edge of sword. She showed no hesitation or fear, going all-out to achieve victory.
In last lesson, she had talked about her way of seeing things. She believed she was only instrument dedicated to completing mission so much bigger than herself. All Aegis soldiers needed to adopt this mindset. No room for doubt - just keep going until destiny fulfilled, until world free of Tumult’s clutches.
Undertaking was noble one, needed to be moral compass at all times, guiding light when way forward wasn’t clear. If Jeanne had led troops, Sigismar knew he would have followed her to end of world. But it was time for someone else to take her place, to free humanity from imprisonment. Could Sigismar carry standard? Did he have enough charisma to get everyone to rally?
Her strike clanged against Sigismar’s shield and he staggered backwards. It was time he proved himself.
