Prince Tousa of Darinest
Tousa trudged down the stairs. It was barely half-day and he was already wanting to just go retire to the officer quarters and lock the door. People were so tiring. If it wasn't one thing they wanted it was another. No one could agree on anything.
Once back down in the Courtyard however, his appearance was refined once again, and he was acting like the upstanding prince once more, who never seemed to tire and had a strict way of dealing with things. He stepped up to the drill instructor who currently had men sparring each other. "Instructor. I heard that you called for me. Is there a problem here?"
The man turned and gave a deep, respectable bow. "No your grace, I just thought that perhaps you would have time to give some of the new recruits a good test. They've been training for a few weeks now and I would like to see how they are shaping up."
Tousa gave a nod. "I see, well, let us make this quick then, gather the men around." He motioned for Anja to come close. "We will see how well the men fight." Once Anja was close he turned to look at her and he pulled out a key. "You will be there sparring partner prisoner."
"My lord you can't be-." The instructor was terrified at the prospect of having Anja unshackled. Tousa glanced over.
"If they fight me, they won't put all their effort and training forward. If they are fighting to actually survive? We'll see how well their training has held up won't we? Anja the Lycan, arms out."
The recruits that had started to gather just let their jaws hang open. They had heard what she was. They did not want to practice with her either from the looks of it.

Anja stepped forward. After some hesitation from the men, three of them surrounded her. She looked over at the wall. She could make an escape. She could transform and run. They wouldn't be able to track her very well. But she wouldn't betray the trust in her. She got into a stance and waited. When none would attack she grew bored, "Afraid to hit a girl? Come on, grow a pair!"
All three came at her at once in a coordinated fashion. Not bad but...she ducked sideways, threw one guy off balance, picked him up as he was falling and threw him into the other two, knocking them over. They scrambled to get on their feet. Once ready again they charged her one at a time. She avoided the wooden sword and punched the guy in the chest. The other two were behind her and managed to strike her on her back. She grunted and stumbled.
Without thinking, Anja disarmed one of them by grabbing the guys arms, twisting it until it popped. He screamed and his friend tried attacking. She just used the guy as a shield and took his sparring weapon and smack him across the face.
All three were down for the count and she threw down her sparring weapon. She wasn't allowed to be given one, no one said anything about taking it from someone else. She stepped back and went back over to Tousa, "That was fun."
