Do you love writing about young men training to become fighters?

Well, I'm like writing about young men who want to be real men!

I would warn him that injuries come back to haunt you in your old age... *smiles... I know this to be a fact.

Nicely done Werty...

Thank you so much for the compliment. I tried to make it interesting, because for some reason it gets harder and harder to write every time. Either I'm exhausted, or I need to take breaks.

That does happen Werty…

*winces* Dislocated ankle. Hurts to even think about! And, yeah, Vix is right: sports injuries have a habit of coming back 'round to bite you.

Peter is trying to train up to be a warrior to compete with his older brother Chase, or because he simply wants to protect him and his family?

The story raises an interesting point. If Peter's training is just as dangerous as real fighting, then it would make sense for Chase to try and stop him from injuring himself. But does Chase really have the right to prevent Peter from becoming stronger? What line has to be crossed in order for Peter to officially be considered a danger to himself? That his endless pursuit of strength is now considered foolish?

The final closing segment of the story seems to suggest that Peter should involve his brother more in the training regimen so that Chase can prevent Peter from going too far and becoming a danger to himself. A good compromise!

I remember that in one of the previous stories, the brothers fought, and Peter lost to Chase, but the older cat still allowed the younger one to wrestle. However, Pete has remained an impulsive youth who dreams of surpassing his brother in martial arts.
