In StormEmber 's collection
Description
The next commission in a series about an imaginary spin-off about Cerina, the daughter of Storm and Ember.
Previously we've seen Cerina, the daughter of Storm and Ember, having a training in knife throwing with her mother Ember. So obviously she also trains with her father. Storm teaches Cerina how to fight with a sword. But to his surprise, Cerina is sometimes a bit too smart. One day, Cerina came to the sparring hall of Barkol's Keep immediately after visiting the beach, wearing only her red bikini. Storm pointed out to his daughter that these clothes weren't suitable for sword training. Cerina fiercely replied: "Come on, dad! What if a villain sees me on the beach? Do you think he will wait until I've put on more clothes before he will attack? Because I'm fairly sure he won't!"
Storm tried hard to hide his smile, because he knew Cerina had a point. And that point was made even stronger when he heard Ember laughing behind them. "Come on, Storm, just admit that our daughter has inherited your intelligence and that she's absolutely right." When Storm saw Ember dressed in a bikini herself, a painful memory jumped into Storm's mind. Although Storm likes to see his beautiful wife in this bikini, it was also the bikini she was wearing when she was being healed with Pandarve's Breath from an intoxicating effect that kept her unconscious, and which made her an easy prey for kidnappers. Storm knew all too well Cerina was right, their enemies won't care about their situation, or how much clothes they would wear. If he really wanted to teach Cerina all he knew about fighting, he had to teach her to be prepared for every possible situation she could be in.
