"My prince, perhaps it is time to end our session and move indoors for the midday meal. I am sure your mother would like to see you eat before you return to your studies."

Herobrine growled at Jiji's suggestion from his position on the ground. The midday sun had burnt away the morning dew hours ago but Herobrine was determined to master Jiji's newest move. However, every attempt to force Jiji to the ground ended with a mouthful of dirt and his sword flung across the training field. Herobrine, soaked in sweat, glared at Jiji's dry clothes as he pushed himself onto his knees and dove for his sword only to meet a body blocking his path.

"Prince Herobrine," Jiji insisted, "we can continue this lesson tomorrow. Your mother is awaiting your presence. You know how she gets when she is forced to wait."

Herobrine grunted as he accepted Jiji's outstretched hand who, in turn, helped the young prince to his feet. "Let me try one more time. I swear to Mungu we will stop if you allow me to try one last time," Herobrine added quickly upon seeing Jiji's raised eyebrow. "Please?"

Jiji sighed as he picked up Herobrine's sword and handed it to the prince. "Fine, let's go again."

Herobrine narrowed his eyes and slightly crouched as Jiji slowly circled around the prince. Herobrine hissed and allowed his magic to reach out, tracing Jiji's every move. Herobrine could feel the rise and fall of Jiji's chest, the beating of his heart, and the twitching of his fingers. Herobrine tightened his grip on his sword as Jiji lunged at the prince. Herobrine leapt to the side, narrowly missing Jiji's blade. Herobrine retaliated and struck his sword at Jiji's sword wielding arm. Jiji yelped and stepped back to inspect the gash Herobrine had inflicted. Herobrine gleefully noticed his window and slashed at Jiji's upper torso. Jiji glanced up and widened his eyes as he attempted to block Herobrine's sword only to have Herobrine swing his leg at Jiji's feet and swipe Jiji to the ground.

Jiji groaned as he glared at the cheerful prince. "So," Herobrine chirped, "how about some lunch?"
