A flaming warrior

Chapter 71 Training Sucessful?

After the hour-long nap, Chris woke me up and told me they were here. I walked out and saw Moriya and Parella waiting. "Hi there. Sorry I needed a nap. Wait, where are the others, Moriya?" I asked her. "They... they don't want to be heroes. So they will support and live with Sashi and Tuya, but becoming heroes is a no for them. But the mice that were supposed to show up said they will wait a little bit before joining," Moriya said. "That sucks. I'm sorry," I said, feeling bad. "It's fine. I can handle being solo," Moriya said. "Parella, one day I will get your brother to train with us," I jokingly said. "If you can, I'll be surprised," Parella said. "What are you teaching us first?" Moriya asked. "Three things. The first will need us in the meditation room," I said, leading them to it. "Okay, so first close your eyes and hold out your hands. Now I'll give you fire; what you need to do is relax and hold it with your hands out. The more relaxed you are, the bigger it will get and it won't hurt," I tell them as they all start holding it and relaxing. We stayed like this for ten minutes, but as it was going, I noticed both fires were different. Parella's fire was icy and Moriya's was void. They opened their eyes and were surprised. "Now close your hands," I said as they did. I can sense the energy from them now.

"Okay, now you two will do harmony training," I told them. "Harmony training?" Parella asked. "Yes, not only will this help if you two team up, it will help when you team up with others. "Well, how do we do this?" Moriya asked, ready to fight. "By fighting me," I said, going into my eclipse mode and disappearing. "Moriya, cats are known for good hearing, right?" Parella asked. "Yes, and good senses, just like wolves and dragons, but not as strong," Moriya said. "Wait, why are you relaxed?" Moriya asked her. "Because if we don't, we can't detect her," Parella said, trying to sense me. Moriya was doing the same. Right when I was about to attack, Parella sensed me and told Moriya, who shot a void fireball at me, which hit me. "Good. Again," I said, disappearing again. After four times, they always detected me and hit me. "Your final test today is patience. Let's see if you have it," I said to them, causing the whole room to go dark except for the glowing floor fire ring. "Oh, what now?" Moriya said, annoyed. "Focus," Parella told her as Moriya went back to focusing. The plan was to do quick attacks to see if they could counter me. I also used a fake version of myself to try and get Moriya. I did it once, and Parella countered me, but Moriya failed. I did it again, and the same thing happened. "Damn it," Moriya said, getting more annoyed but her energy building up. Parella was getting annoyed with Moriya. I did it again, and this time, Moriya actually countered the clone. I did it one more time, but this time, Moriya clapped her hands hard, causing a void blast that knocked me back and got rid of the clone. "What?" Parella said, confused. "What the hell did I just do? I was just trying to force a weapon out of me," Moriya said. "Impressive, but you need more patience, Moriya. You seem to want to keep fighting and not do any defensive maneuvers," I told her. "I know. I'll practice and try it again on Monday. This was still a little fun, though. It's something I'm not used to," Moriya said before leaving. "Do you think she actually likes this?" Parella asked. "No, but I think she'll come around to it," I said happily, but Parella didn't seem so happy. "I'll see you Monday then," Parella said, leaving looking concerned. "Well... that was... okay," I said to Chris. "Like you said, she'll come around eventually. At least Parella liked it," Chris said as he started looking cheerful. "I know, but I want both to like it," I said, looking sad. "You will, hun," Chris said, placing his hand on my head. While I hugged him, we heard someone howling over the coms. "Oh goodness, father, did you give Eva that?" Sashi asked. "It fits her well. I think she can handle it and use it greatly. Can't think of anything to give Chris, though," Aurelion said. Chris and I were both confused. "What is it?" Chris asked. "The bond of wolves. It gives you the strength, speed... well, everything of our people, but only if your body can handle it. Seems Eva's can; even in her weird state, it can handle it," Aurelion said. "I think I'll pass. Not saying I don't need it; I just want to use my own. I still don't understand my own powers," Chris explained. "Understandable. If you change your mind, just let me know," Aurelion said. "Let's go back home. I need a snack," I said as we left.
