Chapter Two: Master & Familiar/ Training with Talon
(Wizard 101 Academy-Talon's Classroom-Talon's Point of View)
I saw how Warrior-chan looked in class; she was so bored, the only thing she would want to do right now was train with her Okami Blade. I was the type that would want to train with my magic as much as possible, but when it came to Warrior-chan; the only way to get her to train with me was to give her a steak or something. I sat at the 3rd table to the right, 4th seat to the left, right by the asile; Warrior-chan was right beside me. She looked very bored, looking out the window of the academy; to be exact, the Apple Tree.
Warrior-chan was still attached to that one spot; if she wasn't in her forest, you could find her in that very tree. I kinda understood why she was always staring at that tree; that was her only safe place, that was before we...we became bonded as Master and Familiar. The day Warrior-chan became apart of this village, the I gained my First Familiar, the day...Warrior-chan and I became friends.
(Flashback-Wizard 101 Village-Talon's Point of View)
I was running, calling for Warrior-chan and praying to God that she was alright. Warrior-chan had just saved my life from a Fireball Spell, took it to the back and ran off when the Head Wizard tried to help her. I was afraid that the other villager would find her and kill her; she was a Half-Breed: Meaning one of her parents were Human and the other was a Demon. Warrior-chan was never accepted in our village because of that; I thought that she could always be one of us. When I was 5 years old; I remember that the villagers would tell their children to stay away from the Apple Tree at the Wizard Academy; That's where Warrior-chan spent her time.
"Warrior-chan, please where are you?!" I cried, I kept running; I just had to find her, before the others did. I turned a corner and came Face-to-Face with the same bullies that were picking on me, before Warrior-chan saved me from them. The Fattest one; Flame King is what the other kids called him, came closer to me, I backed away from them.
"Well, if it isn't Talon 'Mudstone'! You have alot of nerve showing your face; After you missed your chance of cleaning the village from that Demon Seed of a Half-breed, Warrior-chan, that's her name right?" Flame King asked me, still getting closer. I was getting mad; no one had the right to talk about Warrior-chan like that.
"I would never kill Warrior-chan; she protected me from you and took a Fireball for me! I know you were the one who threw that Fireball spell at me, knowing that Warrior-chan was going jump in the way and save me! You nearly killed Warrior-chan, You Bastard!" I yelled at him. Warrior-chan was always apart of this place no matter how much the village wanted her dead.
A roar in pain interrupted my thoughts; that was Warrior-chan's Roar!
(End of Flashback for now-Talon's Point of View)
I wanted to know what was going on in Warrior-chan's Mind; but she acted like a wall, never telling me her real feelings. 'Warrior-chan, Why don't you ever talk to me?' I thought. Warrior-chan took her eyes off the tree and looked me dead in the eyes; she knew I was looking at her the entire time.
"What is it, Talon? You've been staring at me for the entire 20 minutes; if you have something on your mind, tell me." Warrior-chan told me. I looked into Warrior-chan's Amber eyes; evertime I looked into those eyes, I got lost in them all over again. I could feel a light blush come across my face, I just wanted to ask what she was thinking about.
"Warrior-chan, I..." I was cut off by the sound of a friend of mine; Wolf Shadow. I looked to my right and saw my 3 friends coming near me and Warrior-chan; Warrior-chan gave one of her toothy grins; her teeth were very beautiful. My friends were: Wolf Shadow, Finnegan and Marcus. Wolf Shadow is a Level 28 Wizard, Finnegan is a Level 78, Marcus is a Level 22 Wizard and I myself was a Level 35 Wizard; Warrior-chan was just a fighter with the Okami Blade.
"Hello Talon and Warrior-chan, what's up you two?" Finnegan asked us. Warrior-chan went back to looking at the tree in the yard. Wolf looked at her with his eyes narrowed; Wolf was once one of the villager that wanted her dead, but after time he became Warrior-chan's Friend; just like Finn, Marcus and I. We were all here for her; I just wish she could open her eyes and see that sometimes.
"Warrior-chan promised to come with me to Wizard-Training today, but she didn't come easy, I'll tell you that much." I laughed, "She used a Wind Vortex Card, knocked me out of my tree and dragged me by my tail here. It's not like I really had a chance in the matter; I promised Talon and I have to keep it. That's what a Familiar is for." Warrior-chan grinned with her teeth shining in the sunlight. I loved those teeth when they shined in the sunlight.
I looked at Warrior-chan and wondered; How come her father left her and how did her mother die? I never understood why Warrior-chan was always alone on Mother's Day and Father's Day; Instead of Hanging out with me and the others, she was at the Graveyard, offering Black Roses (For those that don't know: Black Roses means 'Farewell' or 'Goodbye') To a Gravestone by the Silverstream River. I wonder if that's where her mother is?
"Warrior-chan, I was wondering if you wanted to go with us to the 'Wizard Games'." Finn asked her, Warrior-chan looked at him with a crooked eyebrow. Warrior-chan was never interested in becoming a Wizard, Mage, none of that; she always said that she was a Half-Breed and a Blooded-Warrior. Warrior-chan was never the type to want to go to any type of Wizard Events; she just plain hated them, or did she hate the wizards that were there at the Wizard Events?
Warrior-chan was considered an Outcast and Monster to everyone in the Entire Village; I just wanted to stop all that, but ever since the day Warrior-chan and I bonded as Master and Familiar; My own people began turning against me and my friends. I just hated that some much; We have done nothing but become great warriors to this place, but because of Warrior-chan's Blood, my relationship with her, and the bonds I have with Wolf, Marcus and Finn, we're seen as monsters to the Entire Village.
(Flashback-After Talon Heard Warrior-chan's Roar-Talon's Point Of View)
I heard Warrior-chan roar, that must have meant that she was in danger; I had to find her and now! I ran out of the Alleyway, around the corner to the right and all the way to the Village's Main Gate. I stopped dead in my tracks at the sight that had frozen my heart in it's place. Warrior-chan was on the ground, hanging by a threat, bruised and bloody, eyes still a Crimson Red as they were before; she was growling and snarling at the villagers that were giving her pain. The Villagers in quesion, were using weapons and spells to hurt her; I wanted to kill them all, Warrior-chan didn't desevre this!
"The Half-Breed must die and the Village with be Demon-Free forever!" Someone from the crowd yelled, the rest cheered. I had to put a stop to this: Warrior-chan never did anything to anyone, but protect this place. I reached into my back pocket and withdrew a card labeled 'Great Vortex' I held it to the skies and called the name of the card out loud.
"Great Vortex: Protect Warrior-chan!" I yelled to the skies; the villagers looked at me as the card glew. A vortex of wind came from the skies and dove over Warrior-chan; sheilding her from the rest of the outside world. I looked at the people with anger in my eyes; hatred in my very soul for them.
"It's that Damn Traitor; the one who had a chance to kill this beast and threw it away, because she thought it was wrong!" Someone yelled from the crowd, I had to put a stop to this once and for all; even if I had to kill them.
"It is wrong; Warrior-chan has done nothing to you people to deserve this kind of treatment! Did she break into your homes and steal from you?! Did she kill your children and eat them infront of you?! Did she destroy this village like you say she was going to do?! No, she has done nothing but become a great and loyal person. Stop trying to kill her all the damn time, Leave her the hell alone!" I commanded.
The Villagers looked at me, I was ready to fight for Warrior-chan and wasn't going to let them kill her! "Talon Earthstone, Do you think that Half-Breed's Life is worth the lives of millions of Wizards, Mages and People? I think not!" Someone said behind me, I turned to see Great-Fang, The Best Demon Hunter in the Enitre Nation, but he lived somewhere else, why was he in my village?
"Great-Fang, What are you doing in my village and why are you consired of what happens to Warrior-chan?! She is apart of this place and I will protect her." I told the man behind me. He looked at me and smiled; he was toying with me and I wasn't going to let that slide.
"I heard of a Half-Breed Demon in this Village; as you know, Little Wizard, I collect Demon Fangs to boost the power of my swords. I came here to Slay this beast and take it's fangs. Now, be a good little girl and releash that barrier so that I may kill that demon and take it's fangs!" I commanded of me, Like Hell was I going to do that.
"Warrior-chan is my friend and I protect my friends: Just like she protected me!" I barked, "And just how we protect Talon!" A Familiar Voice called from one of the roof tops. I looked up and smiled; for there on the Rooftops were my 3 most closest friends: Wolf Shadow, Finnegan, and Marcus.
"Wolf, go get Warrior-chan!" Finnegan ordered; Wolf jumped from the top of the highest point of the building, slid off the curved ledge, did a frontflip into the Wind Vortex. Wolf grabbed Warrior-chan, placed her on his back, leaped out of the Vortex and back to his place next to Finnegan and Marcus.
"Talon, Come On! We're taking her somewhere safe!" Finn yelled to me, I smirked at looked at Great-Fang, "Looks like you're going to have to look for some other Demon Fangs to take; Warrior-chan's is off limits!" I yelled, I held the card to the ground and called to name again. "Great Vortex: Give me a Boost!" I yelled. The card glew again and a small Vortex of Wind came from the card, under my feet and lifted me to the others. Great Fang looked me and growled, "Give me that Demon!" He yelled.
I looked at the Sleeping and Scared Warrior-chan on Wolf's Back; she was going to need medical work to fix all her wounds. I reached into the pouch behind me and pulled out a Golden Card called 'Phantom's Wind'. I held up the card and called it's name.
"Phantom's Wind: Blind us from the of the People!" I yelled and with that, a Strong Gust of wind came and Blinded us from the view of the angry Villagers and Great Fang. Within an Instant; Wolf, Finn, Marcus, Warrior-chan and I were out of there, leaping through the buildings and into the Nearby Forest.
(End of Flashback For Now- Wizard's Academy- Training Grounds- Talon's Point of view)
I looked at Warrior-chan's Sword, she had left it while she left to do something. The Blade was long and sharp; I was pretty sure that I would cut myself if I touched it. Wolf Shadow was in a nearby tree, Finnegan was looking threw his cards, Marcus was just relaxing under the tree that Warrior-chan's Sword was. I was just so worried of Warrior-chan; she always kept to herself, even though I was her Master and she was my Familiar. I just wanted to Help her.
Warrior-chan came from the bushes, near the tree where her sword was lying. She looked at Wolf Shadow and smiled; those two were like Brother and Sister, I never could understand that fact. Warrior-chan walked over to the Tree Trunk, grabbed her sword and placed it on her back. I looked at the way the High-noon Sunlight shined on her silver pelt; it was very beautiful, just as she was. I could feel a little blush come across my face; I knew my feelings, but I was too nervous to tell Warrior-chan.
I looked into Warrior-chan's Amber eyes and wondered; how can eyes so lovely hold such a hurtful past? I wanted to save her from that pain in her heart; she tried to hide it, but I knew it was there, wrapped up deep inside her heart. I rose to my feet and walked over to Warrior-chan; I looked at her and smiled.
"What is it, Talon?" Warrior-chan asked me, I looked down at the ground and blushed, "Warrior-chan, I was wondering why did you sleep in the forest? The day you and I became Master and Familiar, I offered you to come live with me; atleast you could have somewhere warm to sleep with food. Please, come live with me and I will take care of you." I asked her. Warrior-chan turned away from me, her White Long-Sleeved Jacket blew in the wind; at that moment, I saw the scar left from the day she saved my life.
" Talon, though you may be my Master; I cannot live with you. Your Village still detests the fact that I am still alive and I refuse to put someone I care about in danger." Warrior-chan said, Her Long-Sleeved Jacket and White Pants blew in the wind. I understood that; she loved Wolf, Finn, Marcus and I and she never wanted to put us in danger.
The Head Wizard came into view, before I had the chance to say anything else; maybe we will have a mission and I can tell her then. "Wizards Wolf Shadow, Finnegan, Marcus and Talon Earthstone; Come Forth Please!" He called. Wolf, Finn, Marcus, and I walked over to the Head Wizard; Warrior-chan wasn't a Wizard and stayed behind, I looked as she leaped into the tree, away from our view. Warrior-chan was always doing that; made me feel kinda sad that she was always casted away from the group meetings.
"Talon Earthstone; is there something about Warrior-chan that is bothering you?" The Head Wizard asked me, "Yes Head Wizard; Warrior-chan has been my familiar for 4 years and I wanted her to live with me, so she can stay safe. Someone this most likely to attack her in the forest; like Great-Fang, he wants her fangs!" I proclaimed. The Head Wizard looked at the Apple Tree behind me, at Warrior-chan. She looked at him, her eyes were glowing a faded amber color in the shadows of the tree.
"Talon, even though Warrior-chan is your familiar, we cannot forget the fact of Warrior-chan being a Half-Breed; She is Half Human and Half Beast, her Beast-Side can control her at any time. She must feel it is best if she remains in the forest, away from the village and it's villagers. Warrior-chan is wise, she knows what she is doing; do not worry of her Talon." The Head Wizard said to me. I looked at Warrior-chan, then back at the Head Wizard, then at the ground; my eyes began to water.
'It's just not fair!' I thought, Warrior-chan is my Familiar, She is Mine, I should be able to say if she is a danger or not. I just want Warrior-chan safe from those jerks of villagers, I can't take this anymore! I want Warrior-chan safe and I should do what I please with my Familiar. The Head Wizard looked at me and smiled; she was the one that saved my life, I have to repay her someway!
"Head Wizard; What is your reason for summoning us?" Wolf asked the Head Wizard. The Head Wizard looked at Wolf, reached into his robe and withdrew a scoll, handed to Wolf and Walked away. I looked at the scroll and we walked back to the Apple Tree; Warrior-chan came down after the Head Wizard was gone.
Wolf unrolled the scroll and read aloud: " The Head Wizard Concil Summons Wizards: Wolf Shadow, Finnegan, Marcus and Talon Earthstone; As Well As Half-Breed: Warrior-chan, To The Mountain Range of Judgement To Suggest The Judgement of the Half-Breed 'Warrior-chan'. Warrior-chan Is To Report To The Location Within 7 Days To See Wither She Will Remain One Of The Wizard Village's Residents Or Be Banished From The Village. If Judgement is Positive, Warrior-chan Shall Remain In The Village; If Not, Warrior-chan And Talon Earthstone Must Become Seperated As Master And Familiar; And Warrior-chan Is To Leave The Village And Never To Return. Judgement Shall Be 7 Days From Now, Please Be Ready. Good Day, Signed The Great Wizard Concil." Wolf finished, as he rolled up the scroll.
I looked at the scroll in Wolf's Hand, grabbed it and tore it; Warrior-chan could be banished from the Village, from...from my life? I was angry, no I was beyond Angry; Warrior-chan is MINE, I'll be damned if the Great Wizard Concil tried to take her away from me! Warrior-chan looks at the torn letter on the ground and frowned, "So, the Villagers want me gone? Fine, by the End of this Week, I won't be a problem." Warrior-chan said, leaping off the tree, Over the Buildings and into the Forest of Darkness. I looked as she left; thinking of the pain she must be feeling.
"Warrior-chan, Wait!" I called out to her, hoping that she could hear me. I ran after her, but after I got 4 steps away, someone grabbed my right arm and pulled me back. I looked back to see who grabbed my arm; only to see that Wolf Shadow grabbed me, I looked at him with anger. Warrior-chan was getting away, I had to catch her and talk to her, I couldn't lose her again.
"Wolf Shadow, what are you doing?! I have to catch Warrior-chan and talk to her, let go of my arm!" I ordered, trying to jerk my arm from him. Wolf looked at me and shook his head, "Warrior-chan needs a moment to herself, Talon. I know that Warrior-chan is your Familiar, but you don't have to go to her everytime something bad happens to her." Wolf told me.
I growled at him and snatched my arm from his grasp and turned to look him in the eyes; no one was going to tell that I couldn't talk to my Familiar and stop me, not without breaking a few limbs! I looked Wolf in the eyes, reached into my pouch that was behind me, and pulled out a card. Wolf looked at me wide eyed and snapped his fingers, a card came to his hand. Finnegan and Marcus just looked at us with worried faces; they knew not to get in the way of my fight!
"Wolf, I have to talk to Warrior-chan and I will NOT have you stop me; now stand down before I do something I'm going to regret." I commanded him, "Talon, I am your friend and I have been for 5 years, but I think that you are taking this alittle to far. I'm not telling that you can't talk to Warrior-chan; all I'm saying is give her some time to get her head together. Now, put that Lighting Snake Card away, before I blow you away!" He warned me.
I narrowed my eyes at him and growled, but he does make a good point; after hearing that letter from the Head Wizard Concil, Warrior-chan is most likely going to need some time to herself after this. I just want to hold her, just like I did that day; after with got away from the villagers and Great-Fang, after they tried to kill Warrior-chan.
(Forest of Fire-Talon's Point of View-Location: Treetops)
My Friends and I were leaping through the Treetops, through the branches and leaves; the wherever Finn, Wolf, and Marcus were taking Warrior-chan to rest. Finn was leading; he knew where this place was. Wolf was behind Finn; he was carrying Warrior-chan on his back. I was behind Wolf, I just wanted to stay close to Warrior-chan. Marcus was behind me and the other; he was keeping an eye behind us, making sure that no one was following us. Warrior-chan was still knocked out and Wolf was carrying her; I wish she never went through what she just went through.
Finnegan suddenly stopped, the rest of us followed suit; what could have stopped him. I looked at him and I saw a smile, "Everyone, we're here; Marcus, make sure that you set up a Barrier Spell so no one can get through this point." Finn said, Marcus nodded and got his card ready. I looked at Warrior-chan on Wolf's Back; the sight of her in pain brought me to tears.
