Thank you. Most of my inspiration comes from real-life and films.

Chapter 11
Yael entered the gym and headed for the shower room. She really wanted a cold shower to get rid of all the nasty sweat that she'd built up during the match. She took off her facemask and walked into the shower room. She turned the cold water taps and imagined that she was under an icy waterfall. She smiled as the cold water soothed her aching muscles and sore arms. She sighed and let out a blissful yawn. After a few minutes she turned off the taps, picked up a towel and started drying herself with it.
She opened the door and saw that no-one else was in the gym. She headed to her room and closed the door. She sat down on the bed, wrapping the covers around her. She fell into a deep sleep.
Yael was now #10 in the ranked boxing league. That means she was one step closer to the #1 spot. She'd have to train hard in order to prepare for the next battle. Not only that, but as part of the league, it was her duty to defend her title from anyone else. Including the inevitable Kanbok rematch.
Chapter 12
Yael woke up with a yawn. She picked up her favorite facial cream and rubbed some into her tentacles and cheeks. She opened the wardrobe and picked out a loose outfit. She closed the wardrobe and made her way out of her room. She opened the door. She looked over the corner to see Malaki training on a punching bag.
"Yo Malaki", she walked up to join him. Malaki smiled, "Hi Yael. Good fight yesterday". Yael sighed, "If you say so. Those are some strong punches by the way. Mind if I stay with you for a bit?". Malaki chuckled, "No problem". They trained for a while, both of them having their own punching bag. Saffy walked into the gym and rang the bell. "Dinnertime!", she yelled. Yael sighed, "That's good". She walked into the food area and picked up a Scrab sandwich. Malaki picked up a box of Paramite nuggets. They sat down at a table and started eating.
Yael watched as a few people walked up to Yael and congratulated her for her victory. "It was nothing", she said... as she tucked into her sandwich. After the meal, she got up and left with Malaki. This time she went to the speed bags. Malaki followed her.
