After discussing further details of her performance with Beata, Alaria returned to practice. According to the circus performer, she was on the right track, but "moving" was the key word here. She shouldn't stop and should, at the very least, refine her movements, work on her technique, and bring it as close to perfection as the limited time allowed. At the same time, she would put on a show for some of the other Carneol spectators who had missed the first half of the rehearsal. Because during the actual performance, they would probably be busy with something else.

An additional reason for such diligence was the assembled team, almost every member of which, with the exception of Laikos, had extensive performance experience. She, on the other hand, was an amateur, even if a promising one. More was expected of her. And it would be foolish to deny that she harbored the ambition to put on such a beautiful and unforgettable performance for the residents of Margel that they would remember it for many years to come. To help them create a pleasant memory that would warm them in difficult times. In such dark times, people like her should shine even brighter. Like a bright flame, dispelling the darkness that had gathered around Welfern.

In addition, it was pleasant to combine her existing skills and natural inclinations into something new and sublime. To express her creative nature, which was constantly striving to break free. To apply the fruits of her long and diligent sword training for purely creative purposes. And to show off the results of her self-reflection and connection with the fiery element, which even the members of Carneol could not always admire in ordinary circumstances. There was no time for this in battle, and she usually practiced at home, and her culinary feats were hardly as spectacular for an outside observer. So, in many respects, the planned performance corresponded to one of the main ideas of art – it was a form of self-expression for the Tanarian.

Example of practicing movements

Of course, Alaria also did not intend to limit herself to things she had tried before, sometimes practicing other spectacular movements to achieve an even better result. It is interesting what the inquisitorial instructors would say about such a use of abilities that, although not exactly the same, were similar in certain aspects? What would the founder of the Baldr school think? Even the soldiers who wandered into the performance, whose origins of martial skills were now the same as hers? In fact, although it is curious, it is not so important. The main thing is that the audience likes it. And she herself liked the idea of turning a combined training session into a spectacular performance.

She also diversified her routine by practicing with other equipment that Beata had so kindly provided. Perhaps not exactly a weapon, but something less familiar, but it was still worth trying. Perhaps even to combine this with swordplay if a good idea came to mind. Although the general course was set, creative experiments were also encouraged, as long as they did not pose a threat to her or the audience. And if the final result turned out to be more spectacular, why complain?
