Lexi walked into the fields of mars wearing only her leather armor and her gladius in it's sheath, she was bare foot as she almost always was. It was after the curfew at most of the cohorts, hour that all campers should be in bed and sleep, but Lexi just couldn't go to sleep and during the night was the only time when she could train and be sure to not hurt others at all. It wasn't that she was a very good fighter, so she wasn't scared of hurting others with her warrior skills, but with her single touch. So walking into the fields of Mars that night, she felt kind of more free to move and train than when she was forced to train with her cohort.
She grabbed the handle of her gladius and breathed deeply, then took it off its sheath and walked directly to a dummy there, she got a fighting stance, the way she remembered the centurion of her cohort had told them to do it. It was an offensive stance, but it didn't feel good, she didn't feel good with it. She changed it then to a defensive stance, and rolled her eyes. How would she fight if she was defending herself?! She sighed and put her gladius back in the sheath, then she glared at the dummy and without noticing with her feet on the ground, several roots emerged from the ground and grabbed the dummy surrounding it in a really tight tie.
She walked around the dummy and smiled, it would be so easy to just think about it and the roots would do her job, they would smash the dummy and cut it like wire whips, but then it wouldn't have been her job, right? She sighed and the roots fell back and after some seconds the only reminder or proof of their presence there was that the ground around the dummy was slightly removed. "Ok Lexi... Gallwch wneud hyn ar eich pen eich hun ... Nid oes angen y planhigion i chi i'ch helpu i nawr..."1 she said and grabbed her gladius again, this time the grip was firmer. she ran against the dummy and stabbed it several times finishing it by decapitation.
"Marw bradwr dwp!"2 She said seeing in the dummy any of the faces of the traitors of last war.
**1** "Ok Lexi... ...you can do this, on your own... you don't need the plants to help you now..."
**2** "Die stupid traitor!"
