The Grasp of Darkness

Chapter two: Abilities

She went a distance away, I tried to use Shadow Ball against her, and then dragon tail as soon as she came near, just barely grazing her side when she sidestepped. She grabbed my by the tail and flung me into the wall. "That was better, but still, you don't even bother trying to dodge, you only go offense, you don't even try to counter. Not to mention you have low stamina." She finished as I passed out. I woke at around dusk. Hm, I could run away, but I don't want to, even though it hurts me, I need the training, especially the endurance training. I went out to the lake, I concentrated my psychic and I ended up lifting up all the water in the entire lake keeping any and all fish inside it as well.

"Woah!" I exclaimed, "What else can I do?" I asked, I put the water back into the lake, I climbed the cliff, launched a Shadow Ball, jumped onto it and rode it down and back flipped off of it as it landed, "Cool!" I exclaimed, I used Shadow Ball and then concentrated my psychic, taking hold of the Shadow Ball and moved it around. What else can I do? I asked myself. I split it into multiple smaller Shadow Balls. I then decided to test my speed, so I ran, getting faster and faster, I was soon running at light speed, or rather the speed of darkness, which is barely slower than the speed of light. I stopped myself and crashed into the cliffside,

"Definitely not using that ability." I said the myself. I continued to test my powers and abilities for the rest of the night, soon came morning I returned to the den of my tutor and prepared myself for the next training session.

I waited a couple hours, I sat at the opening staring out, eyes closed, focusing my senses on my surroundings, clearing my mind, reaching serenity. The darkness shrouds the light and may erase it, however, eventually the light will reform inside the dark and will burn away the darkness like fire lights up the dark. In a way dark and light are two living things, light burns dark much like fire burns life, and darkness shrouds light like nature shrouds itself with death. Was the last thought I had before I cleared my mind completely and I have successfully reached serenity. I quickly dodged a fireball that came at me from behind.

"Ready to continue the training session despite having just woken up." I said, now turning to face her with a peaceful look on my face.
