Her eyes were closed and I said, “Now, stay very relaxed. In your mind, picture your sword in your hands. As my hands flow over your chest, picture your sword mimicking the movements. It goes around and around. It holds its stance and then slices through the air. Your feet follow my hands. Slice through the air and now pivot on your heel and slice down behind where you were a moment ago. Don’t think about your movement; let my hand make the movements. In your mind, your feet and arms move how I direct them as I caress your breasts.”
I let my hand slide down to her stomach and drew circles and lines. “Keep your breathing slow and deep. You are doing the dance with your sword as I tell your body what to do. Tell me what you see, but keep your eyes closed.”
She said, “I see leaves and blossoms falling from a tree! Your hands move me and the leaves fall around me. My sword arcs through the air in moves that you haven’t taught me… until this moment! My feet move where you tell them to!”
I played with her body a little more firmly, giving it squeezes from time to time.
I said, “Alexia, you are a warrior princess. These leaves are your training partners. Strike them, but gently. Slice at one and then move to another. Take the one behind you… and now the two to each side.”
I began to circle her nipples with my fingers, first one and then the other.
I said, “Spin in a circle. Let me move you faster and faster. Your breathing will increase, but stay in control of it. You can move faster than that. Strike at the leaves. The head! The shoulder! The wrist! The knee! Now, pierce the heart! Behind you! Cut the chest! Now, take two strikes at each leaf! Head and leg! Chest and head. Wrist and heart! One more! Now, choose a leaf and strike it three times!”
Her breathing was faster, but still deep.
I said, “Now, quickly, stop and put the point of your sword on the ground and lean over and lean against it, and spread your legs!”
Alexia took a deep breath and her legs parted in response to her picturing them doing the same as she rested over the top of her sword. I shoved my hand down between them at that moment and began rubbing at her mound and brought her quickly to an orgasm. She arched her back and gave a stifled cry and a droplet of milk formed on each of her breasts.
I moved my arm back to her chest and hugged her into my lap and said, “Now, slow deep breaths. Rest from your practice. You did well and I’m proud of you. Lie down in my lap and rest. You deserve it. Just breathe.”
Alexia took a few more breaths and smiled and opened her eyes. “Mark, I swear, I’ll do whatever you say from now on! Anytime, anywhere!”
I said, “Oh, did you enjoy your lesson?”
She laughed, “I did, but I learned too! Mark, I saw things I can’t describe! I saw things about how the sword works. And it wasn’t me that did it. It was… I don’t know what.”
I said, “Alexia, at the moment that I strike, it isn’t me that strikes, but my sword strikes my opponent on its own.”
She said, “Yes! Yes! But, you made love to me and I couldn’t think or see or feel, but I saw the leaves and I struck the leaves and I felt the leaves hit my blade and I felt you move my body to face each one!”
I looked down at her and said, “Now, hush, this is between you and me. I can’t teach them everything that I will teach you. We had better get up and be with the others.”
Alexia look deep into my eyes and said huskily, “I want you!”
I smiled and said, “Believe me, I want you too!”
She said, “OK then. As long as we understand each other. Let’s join the others.”
We got up from the ground and the girls asked, “So, did you two have a nice ‘chat’?” and they giggled.
I said, “We had a very nice ‘chat’. I look forward to having a nice chat with each of you very soon.”
We laughed and got back on our way.
When we stopped the next time, we worked on blocking the various strikes that the girls knew.
I said, “The attacks that I showed you are universal. A Great Ape will strike at your head or arm or leg. Another animal will come straight at your throat. A swordsman, even if he uses a different kind of sword will use similar movements. A knife is used the same way, even by someone who has never trained. All of those will be less effective than you are because they haven’t practiced like we do. So we learn to block those attacks. Aeyli, come here and face me. Good, now step forward as if you were going to strike the top of my head, but go slowly and carefully.”
Aeyli took a position in front of me and raised her bokken and brought it down slowly. As the sword came over my head, I stepped back just a foot and the point passed harmlessly several inches in front of me.
I said, “The best way not to be hit is not to be where the hit would be. Go again.”
She repeated her strike and I stepped back just enough to let it miss me.
I said, “You don’t want to get far out of the way; just enough so that it doesn’t hit you. You’ll see why later. Now, do it again.”
She stepped forward to strike, and this time I stepped toward her and raised my sword as a shield above my head. Her blade hit my own and slid off and downward past my shoulder.
I said, “To block the overhead strike, I step toward my attacker and hold my blade like this so that they slide harmlessly off to the side. Let me show you why. We’ll work on this in steps. Don’t try to do this right now. Aeyli, again.”
She stepped forward with her strike, and I blocked as before, and then I looped my sword around and made my own strike at her head, but didn’t hit her; and then I quickly stepped behind her and thrust forward as if to pierce her back and into her heart. I asked her to repeat it again, and this time, as she struck, I stepped back so that she missed me and then stepped in with my own cut to her wrist, then her chest, and then her head in three quick strikes.
I said, “The object is not to block your opponent. The object is to incapacitate him. Aeyli, one more time.”
This time as she struck, I stepped to my right and her sword passed through the air near my left shoulder and my sword struck toward her head at the same instant.
I said, “See how it may not be two movements, a block and counter, but just one. Pair up, size doesn’t matter, and I will show you the ways to avoid or block each strike.”
I paired with Aeyli, Rani with Belle, and Alexia the six-foot-two-inch giantess with Sashar the five-foot-no-inch pixie.
I said, “Now, one of you take the slow strike at each of the five targets and let your partner avoid or block it. When you have done all five, switch so that the other strikes and the first blocks. Go nice and easy. Don’t hurt anyone.”
Aeyli and I started our practice and went over the moves twice each. At that point, I had each of us step to our right so that we practiced with a new partner: the one on the end, rotated in on the other side. This time, I was with Alexia. We went through our practice and when we had gone twice, I had us rotate again. I practiced with each of them in turn and made corrections where necessary, but they were all doing very well. When we had practiced with all of the available partners, we sat down and drank a little water and traveled on.

Afternoon Musings
At one point as we walked, Sashar bounced up and took my left hand in hers and skipped along beside me happily. A minute later, she swung herself around and climbed up my body and put her legs around my waist and kissed me on the mouth while I just kept walking. To me, she weighed the equivalent of 18 pounds and I carried her easily.
