Just a Friendly Spar...Right?

Description

"The training hall had become Ari's refuge since the war ended, and she spent nearly as much time there as she did in the palace. After four years of nonstop fighting, the thought of going a day without honing her combat skills agitated her. She feared that the idle days of this peaceful era were eating away at her hard-earned fighting skills, precious skills that she would need to defend her dominion if another crisis were to arise. This fear gnawed at her incessantly, and uneventful days like this were the worst. The boredom. The monotony. It was suffocating..."
~
"...What had started as an impromptu sparring session had now broken down into an all-out brawl. The two knights used every tactic they could think of to overtake the queen, while Ari dug deep into the arsenal of tactics that she had acquired from her mother and Sir Larenz..."
~
"...Azra had managed to take the queen's back and restrain her. As Ari struggled to escape, Dezir lunged in with hopes of landing another successful attack. This time, he was met with a stiff kick to the gut that knocked the wind out of him and sent him flying backward."

Illustration and exerpts from The Bravest Queen: The Speran Hunt. Peace has been good for the Dominion of Gemlach, but not for Queen Ari's sanity. She still trains obsessively...and things may get a little out of hand every once in a while.
