seol_plumfallEvery day I am happy that Astrolabe is near to me to help me and to teach me patiently.
Some days ago Astrolabe returned from Darnassus. She met various people in that city, but she did not manage to find a master warrior to train her. She did not want to go to Stormwind or the Exodar, and though I said she could go to Ironforge, she said that she was tired and tired of the distance from me, so she came home.
Our father told me that perhaps she should not wander everywhere looking for a teacher who knows of the Light but will not mistake her for a paladin when her husband is here in Shattrath and serves the Shattered Sun with the Light and a sword. He discussed it with our mother and with Astrolabe and they both agreed, they want me to be her teacher before any other man or woman.
I do not feel certain. Because I use the Light and a shield, yes, but I do not know so much about the sword. And my nature is soft and gentle and not precise, so I am not an excellent teacher, maybe.And I am busy under the Shattered Sun and the Blood Knights but that is a terrible excuse because I imply that I am too busy with work for my wife by it and that is not true.
And when Astrolabe says "I will become a Blood Knight too" to be humorous, it makes me feel sad and sick
And I do not want Astrolabe to be strong. I do not want Astrolabe to become a great knight because then she will be able to fight in the ranks of the Shattered Sun, and she will be in danger. And the image of Astrolabe fighting, with wounds on her body, makes me feel sick inside and tears come out.
But Astrolabe already has felt this fear and sorrow for me for many months. I can also endure it.
But the time for her to fight is not yet. Yesterday and today we practiced simple forms and moving in armor. Astrolabe has courage and energy that the little Initiate Plumfall did not ever have.
But Astrolabe is younger than he, I think. Her body is even thinner than his, and the muscles of her arms and shoulders are still small. Today when she was doing strikes against my shield she erred badly and injured her arms. We healed her but it made us think maybe we should rest and break from practice for a little bit.
I remember how my body hurt when I was an Initiate. It hurt a lot. It really hurt a lot.
Tomorrow I think we will not practice and I will make Astrolabe a hot bath and a very good dinner.
