"47..48....49....50!"
Sweat trickled down from the top of Nuada's forehead as he called out the last number and it echoed throughout the empty grass field he had been working out in. With a quick push from his hands the fairy moved out of the push up position he had been in and entered into a cross legged sitting position. Looking up towards the sky he leaned backwards, putting his arm on the ground behind him to support his weight. As he stared up at the blue sky his breathing became slower and deeper as he tried to bring his body back into a temporary state of rest. A slight soreness had begun to present itself in his triceps and was slowly making it way across the rest of his arm but Nuada knew that there was still far more to do.
To stay in shape the phoenix had given himself a weekly routine and while he allowed himself to take a few days off whenever he felt like goofing around he was always dead serious about completely the exercise once he had started it. He had already completed his max set of sit ups and he had just completed his max set of push ups so all that remained before he was done for the day was thirty two meter run as fast as possible and a quick session of planking afterwards. After that he would call it a day and go grab something to eat before seeing what sort of mischief he could get up to before the days end. Than the next day he figured he'd tried to do an arm workout as long as he didn't find himself getting distracted by something else. Before finally motiving to get up, however, the fairy made sure to remember how many push ups he managed to complete today. After all he needed to be able to try to beat his record the next time he did push ups.
As the man rose to his feet two things would become very obvious to everyone in the vicinity even if they were a large distance away. The first of these facts was that he wasn't wearing a shirt of any kind, revealing his well toned muscles to everyone in the general vicinity. While it was very clear that this fairy was in very good shape what would grab the most attention of the people in the area was the two large blue dragon fly wings that sprouted out of Nuada's back. It wasn't anything that the man was embarrassed about showing, after all he was almost as proud of his wings as he was his fitness. As the phoenix collected his shirt from the ground, where he had left it earlier, and made his way to the track he noticed that someone had been watching him.
Looking over at his observing he noticed that it was a tanned skinned girl wearing tribal like clothing and was just a bit shorter than he was. Taking a bit longer to take in a bit more details about his new acquaintance before approaching her he noticed her pointed ears and yellow eyes. She was definitely different than other people he had seen around but who was he to judge? After all he was a hybrid of a fairy and a phoenix who despite his appearance was actually 55 years old, which while young for a phoenix is much older for some other species. So with a friendly smile spread across his face Nuada walked over to the girl that had been observing him. It was a perfect opportunity for trying to make a new friend, maybe even someone he could work out with. Having someone around during an workout was always helpful, especially for someone like Nuada who reached his peak performance when there was some kind of competition involved.
Hey! Sorry I didn't notice you earlier. Did you want to join me?"
With almost childlike levels of enthusiasm the fairy invited the girl to join him in his workout. He had no idea who this girl was or what she was but Nuada was willing to be friends with anyone. One could almost say that this man's overarching rule in life was "the more the merrier".
