Tactical Approach

Ashiel pushed ahead a few steps, the water bubbling up to his chest now. He could feel it whirling around him and trying to tug him off his feet. He inhaled sharply but worked to control the exhale. Feeling the water shoving and sucking at his chest made him suddenly very aware of each breath he was taking. He tried to divide his attention evenly between his uncle and the river. That in and of itself was a challenging exercise.

Amon mentioned that one of the most crucial elements of combat was the ability to decide where and when an attack would happen. He nodded and listened intently. One thing he had little experience in was battling on differing terrain or terrain that he could really use to his advantage. Well, not counting the canyon spars he had with his mother. He repressed a shudder. Ashiel was grateful for the experience, especially as that was where he planned to make his pack but fighting near ledges where one mistake could send you falling to your death added a whole different level to the training. In his opinion it was proof that his mother was insane. "Yes, thank you. That makes sense. I think I do need to practice the art of patience. Sometimes I act to impulsively and it's gotten me into trouble." His thoughts flickered to his battle with Valdís. In his mind it should have been a simple fight. He was going to over-power this mortal woman but then he'd miscalculated and was handily defeated. He had no desire to tell Amon about that incident. "We are descended from gods and I know that we are blessed above others but even so… I have learned that over-confidence can be a hindrance to anyone, no matter how divine they are."
