Her Neighbor the Maestro

Fire

(WARNING THIS WILL BE A LITTLE STEAMY LATER. BUT KNOW THERE IS NO SEX HERE.)

Michael's point of view.

After a good meal and I gave Elizabeth time to change into some dry clothes and time to dry her hair was still long from her transformation; but it was pulled back in a braid. Elizabeth was wearing traditional training garb from my realm along with the Dragons Eye around her neck. "How do you feel now?" I asked her since we haven't trained together in a while. "Great, I feel stronger than I thought possible." She answered while looking at her hands amazed. "good, lets see what you can do so far." I told her she nodded while taking a stance her face had a new look of confidence and certainty. Her energy is different and its grown stronger just by Liz taking a stance. This will be interesting her energy gotten stronger just by taking a stance. Liz and I were still and careful wondering who will move first. You're right Mike I feel stronger and I'm ready to test my power and what I've learned from you. I heard her speaking in my mind and I see her grinning. Suddenly she starts water-bending and I was barely able to counter. "wow you're really good." I complimented with pride and a smile. She hasn't missed a beat at all but I still have some tricks up my sleeve. I'm panting and starting to sweat as I try to counter every attack Liz is doing, but she's adapting using the environment and my attacks to her advantage. Then I go on the defensive and burrow myself underground to buy myself some time to catch my breath. "No doubt about it Liz has changed, her transformation hasn't only strengthened her power  and cleared her mind but strengthened her body too. I'm starting to get tired and Liz isn't breaking a sweat at all. She's growing stronger and adapting by the second." I closed my eyes and focused and I sensed Elizabeth getting closer and growing stronger. So I focused deeply on Elizabeth and I see she's sitting on ground with her eyes closed and hands on the ground. She's not trying control this place but deep breathing she's meditating.

Elizabeth's point of view

No way in hell am I cheating and using the Dragons Eye. I want to use my own strength and testing how far I come using everything I've ever learned from Michael. So far its going pretty well but I'm not sure where he disappeared in this forest. "The forest here feels different from home the life energy here is stronger." I noticed while scanning my surroundings. "Michael is here I feel it but it's like he's everywhere." I noticed he has taken control of the forest we are in right now seeing more than one Michael. "Hmm maybe I need to open my senses more. Not just to Michael's dragon flame but his real spirit." I sit down where I am closed my eyes take deep breath through my nose and out my mouth. I relaxed completely placing my hands on the ground and cleared all of my senses as I meditated. Then I feel Michael and focused on completely on his spirit. It was close by very close actually. I open my eyes and was near a water fall and I sensed his actual dragon flame under ground. So I focused hard and then there he was in front of me floating in mid air. He was surprised he was floating amazed is more like by the way he was stammering. "Whoa how did you do that?" He asked in complete amazement as I put him down on the ground. "I've had a lot of practice." I replied looking down and quite embarrassed. "How do you feel Elizabeth?" Michael asked looking really winded. "Pretty good right now but you look really winded. You want take a break?" I asked seeing Michael about to collapse from exhaustion. "Yes that would be great thank you. Liz you're incredible, and you've come so far since we first met. You gotten so strong and you always find ways to break through your limits and get even stronger. But not only that, you're great person and fun to be around. That's why I fell in love with you." He tells me while holding my hand before continuing." I know that we spent our time training together, but I promise we-" I cut him off with a passionate kiss I felt my energy manifest itself for a second but I didn't care. I love this man and I wanted him to know it. "Micheal be quiet, you talk a lot. I don't care if we don't go out on dates or not. I love you and I love spending time with you." I opened up while we held each-other. "you okay now?" I asked him since he looked pretty frazzled when I found him. "Yeah I'm good, now there's one more thing I want to teach you but not here. Hold my hands and close your eyes." He told me so I do as he says and closed my eyes. Then I felt a light breeze around me and the wind really picked up. Then I sensed the environment change in a flash the air where I am feels different. "You can open your eyes now." Michael tells me letting go of my hands I look around and I see the architecture of the building I'm looking at looks like something out of china. I was amazed at what I'm seeing. "Wow the atmosphere feels refreshing." I marveled looking around the monastery. "Michael what are we doing here?" I ask looking over at him and I see he had a happy look on his face but he doesn't fool me for a second. Under that excited facade was sadness. "I trained here years ago under a really good friend of mine She...." Michael's voice was breaking as he was talking but he cleared his throat. "She was like a mother to me, when she passed away I promised her I would teach people how to use their power if I find someone who possessed the Dragon Flame. I didn't know if there was anyone left with the flame until I met you." He continued on as I listened intently. "What was your mentors name?" I asked wanting to get closer to Michael. "Her name was Laura I wish you would have met her she would've liked you." Michael responded with his voice breaking. "Anyway we're here because I wanted to teach you fire bending here, where Laura taught me." Michael tells me with a smile and holding my hands and I smile back at him. "Oh Michael I would love to learn here." I nodded hugging him with a smile. "Then lets get started. Fire is the element of power. We have desire, will, and the energy to drive and achieve any goal we set our minds to. Physically we can endure we have been seen being able to increase the temperature in our proximity, create flames, and endure extreme heat and flame without being harmed." He tells me while holding a flame in his hands but his hands weren't burned. "How did you do that?" I asked in amazement never taking my eyes off the flame in his hands. "You can do it too, make yourself completely calm. Visualize the flame hands and feel it." Michael tells me and I take a deep breath focus on the dragon flame like its in front of me. Then I am able to see a blue flame in my minds eye all around me and I feel an Intense warmth. "I.... I see it and I feel it its all around me." I muttered as I feel warmth all around me get hot. "Good hold on to that focus." Michael coached me and a hot blue flame appeared in my hands. I gasped in shock and but calmed myself and focused on that blue flame in my hands.
