  After an intense sequenovements, Jon paused. "You're making progress, Val. The sword requires a different approach, but you're adapting well."

  Val, breathing somewhat heavily, nodded gratefully. "It's a challenge, Snow, but I'm willing to learn."

  Thus, uhe setting sun, Jon tio instruct Val in the nuances of the sword, sharing his knowledge and experiethen the warrior beyond the Wall.

  With Val resting after the training, Jon turned his attention to Lucis and Lafy, to share his knowledge and enhahe skills of the two warriors.

  Lucis absorbed the guidah focused attention, her eyes fixed on Jon as she tried to internalize eaent. Shyness still marked her expression, but there was evideermination to learn.

  Lafy, oher hand, dispyed a more evident fidence. His movements were agile and precise, revealing previous experieh the sword and shield. Jon adapted his instrus to further challenge his skills, encing him to explore different bat strategies.

  The training tinued with a series of exercises, each desigo enhance specific aspects of the bat skills of the two warriors. Jon demonstrated the moves with fluidity, encing Lucis and Lafy to apply them in response.

  The sun had already pletely set when Jon decided to take a break. "Both of you are doing very well. Lucis, your fuals are improving. Lafy, your dexterity is remarkable. Now, try a more direct frontation, applying what you've learned."

  Lucis and Lafy faced off, their swords and shields colliding in a trolled dance of attacks and blocks. Jon watched attentively, occasionally interrupting to offer additional guidance.

  The exge betweewo warriors was intense, a demonstration of their newly acquired skills. Jo satisfa in seeing their progress and khat the training would tithen not only their bat abilities but also the bonds among the members of the tribe beyond the Wall.

  As the su on the horizon, Johe o ge the training routine. He decided to dedicate that day exclusively to the development of the bat skills of the trio: Val, Lucis, and Lafy. The atmosphere in the clearing where they trained was charged with energy, and the metallic sounds of bronze bdes g echoed among the trees.

  In trast to previous days, when they focused on learning the a nguage, on that specific day, swords and spears became the teachers. Jon was determithen not only linguistiowledge here but also improve the trio's ability to defend themselves in the challenging nds beyond the Wall.

  Val, with her spear prowess, was an eager learner, abs every move from Jon with a trated expression. Her eyes reflected a passion for the art of war, and Jon could sehe stant progression in her movements.

  Lucis, still shy, tried to overe her reserved nature in thrusts and blocks. Jon, with patience, guided her through the movements, with satisfa the gradual improvement in her posture and teique.

  Lafy, Lucis's younger brother, showed a natural ability with the sword and shield. His movements were fluid and precise for his age, and Jon could perceive the tent potential waiting to be explored.

  As the day came to an end, Jon interrupted the training, taking a step back. "Today was dedicated to improving your bat skills. The three of you are progressing very well. Tomorrow, I will learn the a nguage with Val, but remember to tinue all the exercises you've practiced; endurance is crucial oh of a warrior, strengthen yours."

  The trio, panting and sweaty, exged looks of gratitude aermination. Johem back to the camp, passing by some sentinels in the forest, a sight being quite on in the past few days.

  It has been a week since Val began teag him the a nguage, and he rogressing at an arming rate in the blonde's opinion. However, Jon, being a polyglot and a schor profit in the are arts of two plex schools, as well as a runic master and somewhat skilled in healing magic, found learning not difficult, and he was unafraid to showcase his progress.

  The learning cycle had shifted to a scheme where, on one day, Jon dedicated himself to teag with Val in a closed tent, and on the day, practice extended outdoors, including Lucis and her brother Lafy, as Jo a protective responsibility for the young girl.

  Now, as Johe way back to the camp, he sensed a disturban his keen perception. His senses alerted him, causing him to quickly turn in the dire of a suspiovement ireetops. Jon's abrupt gesture caught the attention of the girls, who immediately went on high alert.

  "Snow?" Val inquired, while Lucis and Lafy also looked at Jon for an expnation.

  Tense silence hung for a moment until Lafy, following Jon's gaze, identified the source of the disturbance. "A crow?" he suggested, notig the small bird perched on a branch above.

  The crow rested quietly on a branch, its bck feathers gleaming in the soft light peing through the tree leaves. Its pierg gaze seemed to carry a peculiar sagacity, as if it were aware of the tension its presence had geed. The sharp cws gripped the branch firmly without moving, while its eyes were on the group, but especially on Jon.

  The crow's presen the tree, Jon with keen eyes, fueled a fme of irritation in the dragonborn's chest. The atmosphere around became tense, as if nature itself awaited the crow's respoo Jon's impetuous demand.

  His narrowed gaze didn't waver, refleg not only suspi but a growing a the situation. The crow remained impassive, a silent spectator challenging Jon's patience.

  Jon, in a firm and authoritative tone, finally broke the silence: "Who are you? And why are you spying on me!"

  Jon's voice resounded like thunder, den with authority and a fury that made everyone behind him instinctively step back. The air around seemed to weigh with the iy of his demand, and the group waited in silence, anticipating the intruder's response.

  "Jon... is that?" Lucis was a little frightened.

  "That's a warg..." Val ented, uanding the situation as she observed the crow.

  The crow, sensing the threat, began fpping its wings frantically in an attempt to escape, but Joed immediately. With a quid precise gesture, he raised his right hand and ielekinesis. Ethereal energy enveloped the crow's body, suspending it abruptly in the air, causing surprise and agitation. As it struggled in the air, Jon skillfully trolled the invisible force that kept it suspended, showg his mastery ic.

  "That, how does he do that?!" Val excimed, admiring and surprising herself with Jon's ability to trol telekinesis.

  "Is he a wizard, sister?" Lafy asked, fasated by Jon's demonstration.

  Ign the reas around him, Jon observed the suspended crow, analyzing it carefully. The creature struggled, uo escape the invisible force holding it. Jon, dissatisfied with the sensation the bird veyed, decided to end the situation decisively. With a closing aermined motion, he broke the crow's neck, emitting a dry sound that echoed through the clearing.*Crack!*The creature's now lifeless body gently fell to the ground."It seems easy to deal with these spying creatures, but I doubt others have this ease..." Jon reflected, his thoughts immersed in the peculiarity of his ability.

  "I heard about being a warg, but I hadn't been ied until I saw this crow. It seems to be a useful skill..." Jon ented, p the implications of his newly discovered capability. His strange dreams involving a white wolf no longer seemed mere fantasies; he was aware that he was experieng something real, not just dreaming.

  "It looks like I'm a warg too..." Jon noted, finding it curious that he had never felt this ability in Skyrim. It seemed to have maed only in this world, awakening a new facet of his abilities. Curious aermio explore these newly discovered skills more deeply, Jon was determio uand the extent of his gift.

  Jon stood before the dead crow, his eyes fixed on the creature as he pted the possibilities his new warg abilities could offer. Delving into his thoughts, he sidered different ways to use this unique e with the animal realm.

  Firstly, he reized the potential for espiohe ability to see through the eyes of a crow could prove to be a valuable tool fathering information about what was happening beyond the Wall. This could be particurly useful in situations where direct tact was risky or impractical.

  Furthermore, Jon pohe possibility of unig with wild creatures. If he could establish a deeper e, perhaps he could influence or even aain animals.

  However, he also uood that these abilities did not e without challehe thin liween man and animal could be dangerous, and he wondered about the ethical limits of expl this e.

  "Val," Jon called, interrupting the trio from their stupor sihey saw him maniputing the crow in the air like a wizard from legends and, just as impressively, ending the creature's life with a simple haure.

  "Y-yes," Val responded, a slight tremor in her voice. Lucis, though still impacted, was somewhat calmer, having witnessed some of Jon's exceptional abilities."I want to deepen my knowledge about being a warg because I believe I have this ability. Do you know anyone who guide me in this?" Jon inquired, his gaze still fixed on the lifeless crow.

  "You're a warg? Well, Visemyr is the most powerful warg in the camp, although he doesn't seem to appreciate you much. I try to find someone, maybe with my sister." Val replied, rec from the initial shock caused by Jon's demonstration.

  "That would be helpful, especially sineither Karsi nor Tormuo have a warg iribes." Jon pondered, resuming his walk. He had realized that there was still much to learn since he arrived in this new world.
