Warrior Training Novels & Stories

Three weeks of training until my body barely felt like mine anymore. The elegant warrior twirled her twin daggers lazily while watching me struggle back to my feet. “You hesitate before striking.” “That’s because I don’t enjoy stabbing people!” “That mindset gets you killed.” Around us, warriors continued sparring beneath the massive open training dome while silver banners carrying Marcus’s crest hung from the towering walls. Rain hammered outside again. Apparently this kingdom only knew storms. I wiped sweat from my forehead while trying not to collapse dramatically. Today’s training focused on power combat.

Not when I’d failed the one person who had ever truly seen me. "You heard him!" Callum, the lead warrior, barked, his voice rough but approving. "No titles. Just blood and sweat." The others grunted in agreement, and just like that, the training began. The first hour was brutal. Callum didn’t go easy on me. None of them did. They treated me like any other warrior, pushing me, testing me, forcing me to dig deeper than I ever had before. My muscles burned, my breath came in ragged gasps, but I didn’t stop. Couldn’t. Not when the Magic Academy loomed in my future, not when I knew the competition there would be fierce. I needed to be stronger. Faster. Unbreakable.

It’s not so bad, I know that I can survive on my own and in the wild, which sounds nice some days. That’s what I thought until a new girl showed up mid November. She joined us at our mandatory 5am pack training. All kids in high school were required to train every morning before school to learn to protect themselves, even if you were not a warrior. As we got older the training was divided up into basic training for all pack members, intermediate training for patrols and advanced training for our elite warriors, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and their mates. The ranked members were the most targeted so they trained the most. They are also our strongest, so they tend to be on the frontlines of

“Come on, tweedle Dee and tweedle dumb.” *** Standing outside of the Amaris academy, where the future elite warriors and ranked pack members studied to receive specialist training before returning to their packs or joining the Amaris Royal Pack, if they were good enough, Arlen proceeded to outline what the challenge of the day was. “The way you train your up and coming warriors will determine how strong or weak your packs overall combat skills are. A set of poorly trained warriors leaves room open for attacks and challenges of your title, whereas a community of well-trained warriors removes a lot of that risk and enables your pack to be prepared for any sudden rogue attacks, for example.”

The boys told her that today had been a bit exceptional because officially they were still on vacation and after that they could only go to the forest from 4 or 5pm depending on their schedule. Warriors weren’t like mages and they had mandatory training. They had to learn the handling of weapons, different fighting techniques, meditation which allowed them to create the marks of special techniques on their energy core, and all this took a lot of time. However, the instructors always made sure that they could spend at least 2 hours per day in the forest so that they could hunt and earn credits as well as gain experience from fighting magic beasts. Cassy didn't mind, on the contrary, it would

“I had hoped I’d never have to say this word in my reign or my children’s reign, but what Hollow Brook has done, is an act of war… against us. Now,. my first action is going to be to try to speak with the new Alpha of Hollow Brook, but as the Alphaship was transferred without the King’s consent as well, I do not hold out the most hope he will respectfully choose mediation. And I want you all to be aware of what is happening, and the consequences if he chooses not to mediate with us.” “For those of you who don’t have mates who are warriors or aren’t yourself, there has been a change in the training program. Warriors are being trained more, and different groups are being deployed regularly so

Sol replied and I saw that this was a sensitive subject to talk about as I watch his light expression change into something that was deadly serious. “One day, one of the warriors made a mistake because he was still new. The training that we have were never easy. The first half of the training will be used to loosen up muscles by doing runs and other stretching exercises. But being new, your body is not used to so many movements that it gets tired quickly,” he pause as if he was trying to find the right words to continue. “So when the second half of the training camp comes, which is purely combat training, the new warrior failed miserably which lead to the punishing of the tenured warriors.”

And until then, I would let him suffer. My father finally turned to Darius. “Chief Commander, please fill us in on your plans.” Darius stood, commanding the attention of everyone present with an aura that was impossible to ignore. "We’re shifting our training. Warriors need more than brute strength; we’re implementing advanced tactical drills and we need to look into weapon development. We’ll have to work closely with the scientists to create tools that can keep us on an equal playing field," he grunted. "I know this will be a challenge, but it’s one we have to face."

“Pair off and begin to practise attacking from the rear.” Warrior training had become a basic since I took up the crown from my father. Ensuring that I had a strong army ensured that I could keep my people safe. Every man woman and child were taught the basic self-defence sequences. Anyone that showed a greater aptitude went on to more advance attack training. Vampire training had not been a part of the training seeing as they were of no immediate threat, something which had now quickly changed.

Lucius' POV: I quietly followed them, completely abandoning my training, wanting to know what this weekend was thinking of, whether she was tough or just pretending to be, I just needed to check it out on the spot. The training Hall is very well equipped with all kinds of equipment to exercise strength as this is the most important building in the pack, it is here that the pack’s most powerful warriors are trained and every warrior will need to go through the baptism of sweat and blood here to enable them become real soldiers.
