10. Chapter 10

Chapter 10 - Training begins

PLAY: Departure - Hunter X Hunter Opening

(The music slowly starts building as the sun started rising over the lands of Equestria.)

Stepping firmly on the ground,

(In a grassy lands, A male bends as he stretches.)

You are awakening,

(The camera moves as it reveals Alan looking up at the sky with a bright smile on his face.)

With the smile of an angel,

(Alan pulls his book out as it opens with different symbols flying out.)

Take me away!

(Camera moves back as different monsters were summoned as they ran or flew away. The title "MLP: The Gathering of Magic" Appears we the elements of harmony flashed in appearance with the book at the top center.)

You are not alone, even in solitude,

(Rainbow Dash flies through the skies with a rainbow streak until landing at the library with the other mane six as they cheered and waved with the six elements of harmony floating above them while glowing.)

There is definitely a reason as to why we are born.

(The camera moves as Luna, Celestia, Cadence and Shining come to scene as they smiled. The sun comes to the left and the moon comes to the right with a crystal heart floating down from the center.)

You can smile again! Bathing in the sun!

(Scootaloo is seen skating on a skateboard until skidding to the CMC clubhouse with AB crafting something and Sweetie belle singing a song before they face the camera and throw a fist up with their CMC logo appearing above them.)

You can fly away!

(Alan and the mane six are seen running through the grassy fields as the sun started setting.)

The world is awaiting your brilliance!

(The scene is next with five beings in cloaks that held smiles until moving to a dark void with the camera passing a shadow being that smirked before red eyes opened up, radiating with dark energy.)

Stepping firmly on the ground,

(Twilight fires a magical beam as Rainbow flies over and does a sonic Rainboom and vanishes in the sky.)

You are awakening,

(Applejack kicks a tree with apples falling while Rarity uses her magic and levitates different variety of crystals and gems.)

With the smile of an angel,

(Pinkie fires her party cannon with confetti flying while Fluttershy holds a few woolen animals with a smile.)

Take me away! (You can smile!)

(Celestia and Luna radiate the sun and moon's light with gold and blue aura flowing until they faced the camera with a smile.)

It is never too late for a new "Beginning"!

(The scene changes with Alan kneeling, and bruised while holding his arm. The seven cloaked beings stood by his side with different colored aura flowing around them. Alan glares up at his opponent in shadows as it smirks and motions a hand at him and his allies.)

No matter what happens, keep getting back up!

(Alan rises as his book floats in front of him and opens, blasting energy around and explodes. The scene turns to Alan opening his eyes and smiles bright before throwing a fist to the air as his friends around him cheer. The title appears over with the elements and the book until the screen fades into darkness.)

The feeling of the sun hitting my face awoken me from my slumber. My body felt warm and my mind...it was like everything just washed away. My eyes slowly opened up as a yawn escaped my throat. I heard a small mumble near me. Looking down, I blushed as I saw Twilight on my chest. I knew we were both naked under the sheets after our night. Being perfectly honest, this mare can go for a long time. I couldn't remember how many rounds we went through. However, our night together was wonderful. A smile formed on my lips before I leaned down and kissed her forehead gently.

A moan was heard as the unicorn smiled and nuzzled my chest. This only made me smile more and stroke her mane. "I know you're awake." I cooed in her ear softly. She giggled as her eyes fluttered open.

After giving a soft yawn she turned to face me. "Hey you." Twi breathed.

"Hey yourself." I chuckled before planting a kiss on her lips. "Sleep well?"

She giggled again with a blush. "Yep, you really wore me out."

I chuckled as my own cheeks flushed. "Glad you enjoyed it...I can't really remember most of it. Just that it lasted... a while."

"Short term memory loss?" Twilight asked curiously.

I shrugged. "Think I was still in a bit of shock that I actually did that for the first time. The memory of the first round is still seared into my head."

Twilight gave a giggle before a small glint hits her eyes. She rose a bit as her breasts were now hanging in my face. "You know, we have a little time before the others wake up. Why don't I jog your memory?~"

I flushed with a smile. "I think that sounds-"

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! "Alan, would you mind coming out of there?" Called a male voice.

The voice sounded familiar to me as I gasped a bit. "That's Jace."

Twilight flushed darkly. "H-how did he know you were in here? Did you tell anyone about that note? I tried to keep it a secret."

"I don't know." I spoke. "But we're about to find out." We got out of the bed and got into our normal clothes before I opened the door to see the familiar sight of my human companion. "Uh, hey Jace. How did you know I was here?"

The illusionist tapped his head. "Mind reading, kinda my thing." The two of us soon flushed darkly as we thought the same thing to what he might have seen in our minds. Jace pulled up his hood before grabbing hold of my arm. "Alright come on, we got lots to do."

"Huh? Whoa!" I gasped as the man started dragging me away while Twilight followed. "Hey, what are you doing?"

"If you recall from last night I mentioned that I was here to train you. Course I'm not surprised you forgot. You did have your...hands full." Jace chuckled.

My face flushed again before I snapped and pinned him to a wall. "You had no right to know that, and keep it to yourself."

Under his hood the human arched a brow. "I was referring to the dancing. Though your reaction raises suspicion."

Shit! I reacted too quickly and released him. "N-nevermind…" A saw him slowly grinning under his hood as if he was about to read my mind to know what I was hiding before I growled. "Invade my mind and I'll punch you."

Once more Jace chuckled. "We're going to have to work on that aggression a bit. However," His eyes turned towards Twi. "I'm afraid you can't come miss."

"Huh?" Twilight blinked. "Why not?"

"This training is for Alan to see and know only. No one else is allowed to come with the two of us. I'm sorry, but there's no way around it." Jace answered simply. "Also, you could prove to be a distraction for him."

The mare opened her mouth to protest until I smiled. "I'll be fine, Twi. I'll be back soon enough." I pulled her close in an embrace. "Try not to miss me too much."

Twilight sighed a bit before she hugged me back. Her attention turned to the other human. "How long will he be gone?"

Jace remained silent as a blue circle opened up in the floor. "Not too long, just until he's able to learn what I have to teach. Shouldn't be longer than a month." Twilight blinked before Jace pulled me to the portal as we vanished.

"A month? Oh no…." Twilight thought with a worried expression.

(Beyond the outskirts of the crystal empire in the snowy waste lands)

I opened my eyes when the portal vanished. Immediately, my body was hit by blistering wind of ice and snow. I gasped in shock at the dramatic drop in temperature. Shivering, I hugged myself as Jace stepped forward seemingly unaffected by the cold. "This is where you will be training with me, Alan."

"W-w-w-why in a f-f-f-freezing p-p-p-place like t-t-t-t-this!?" I shouted out to him while shaking like a leaf in the wind.

The man turned to face me. "Illusion magic is solely based around blue mana and the primary element tied to it is water. Since snow is frozen water, this makes for an ideal training ground to focus your ability to cast blue mana spells."

I shivered with a sneeze. "W-w-w-why didn't you t-t-t-tell me about t-t-t-this? I c-c-could have been p-p-p-repared for this w-w-w-weather."

"Water changes its shape and flow depending on the environment around it. You need to be able to think on your toes and come up with ways to deal with changes on a moments notice." Jace explained.

His explanation made sense, but this is insane. "F-f-f-fuck my l-l-l-l-life…."

"You might want to start thinking. In this weather you'll freeze to death in less than fifteen minutes." Jace added.

My brain scrambled as I tried to clear it. "Ok, ok. I need to get warm. Think what can I possibly do…" As I shivered, my book tapped against my side. I focused with what I could and opened it. "Come on...come on...AH!" Spotting one artifact I quickly summoned a vial of red liquid before smashing it on the ground in front of me. There was a massive flash of heat as I groaned in slight pain. Thankfully the extreme heat managed to neutralize the cold at the cost of giving me a sunburn.

Jace grinned with a slow clap. "Not bad, though I probably wouldn't have chosen using a vial of dragonfire on myself."

"You're own fucking fault for having me take this approach in this fucking cold." I countered with a glare at him.

"Hmmm, there you go with that temper again." Jace replied. "And I thought procreating with your lavender friend would have loosened you up." I gave another growl that he knew before I threw my hand out. The fire around me morphed into a few fireballs and blasted at Jace. The man smirked while his eyes glowed blue. Before the fire could touch him, he was surrounded by mist that extinguished the flames. "Well, seems your emotions are able to influence your spark's power. Though you have little control over it still."

With my moment of anger passed I glanced down at my hands. "How was I able to launch those flames at you."

The illusionist smiled. "That was a side effect of your temper and a bit of luck. It does show you should have a handle with flames though. Fitting since you prefer to tinker with artifacts." I would've smiled at that comment if it weren't for the bitter cold. "Care to try your luck with another trinket?"

"G-guess I have no choice." Again I flipped through my book and found a more permanent piece of equipment. After a brief purple flash, one silver colored glowing orb floated out of the book and stopped over my hand. The orb vanished as I felt an object land in my palm. Just to be sure, I gave it a few swings through the empty air as the invisible blade left a short lived trail of fire. Already I could feel the warmth of the blade as my shivering finally stopped.

"Ah, I haven't seen a ghost fire blade in some time." Jace smiled. "A wise choice."

The longer the blade's flames burned, the more warmth I recieved to counter the cold. "I guess I can work with this." I spoke with a smile. Keeping the grip, I faced the illusionist. "So...what's first?"

Jace smiled. "Well first off: you need to learn how to properly channel blue mana."

"And that can be done with water, which in turn is the snow and ice around us." I added as the wind howled through the snow.

"Exactly." Jace replied. He took a deep breath as his eyes closed. "Water is very adaptive. It's ever moving and changing. The mana produced by it is quite influential upon all the others. Mastering it is your first step towards everything else. Allow it's very essence to flow in you as you embrace the changes it takes."

"Alright." I took a seat criss crossed in the snow. The cold made me shiver a bit, but I did my best to ignore it as I closed my eyes and started concentrating. Air flowed through my nose and back out of my mouth. The only noise to fill my ears was that of the raging wind. My mind remained still till even the wind became filtered out. Now in quiet, the only noise left was the snow falling from the clouds. My eyes opened as I saw a void of darkness around me. In the void I could see was the snow falling around me and below my legs. On a whim, my hand reached out as the icy water flakes danced around my fingers.

"Hehe, I always did like snow the best." I chuckled. "The way each one was unique in its shape, size...everything special to each one." Some of the flakes made contact with my skin as they melted instantly. Those that drifted towards my blade became nothing but mist that floated away in the winds. Another breath escaped me when my eyes closed once more. The sounds of the wind howling came back to my ears as I return to the snowy storm with Jace in front of me with an amused chuckle.

"Can you feel how they dance?" He asked softly. "How they drift down from their clouds to rejoin the rest of the world on the ground below?"

I glanced down to the snow in my hand. "In a funny way, I can understand." I tightened my hand as the snow melted and morphed into a funny shape that melded in my fingers. With a flick of my wrist the clump of ice flew from my hand into a snowdrift.

"You're still learning, but I can see you're developing a little faster than I predicted." My human ally commented with a small chuckle. "Keep that up, and you'll master illusions faster than you can think."

We stayed in the middle of the icy storm for what seemed like ages. As I continued to meditate I was even able to pick up the subtle sounds of each flake landing. The soft sounds of the icy water clinking on my skin and the ground was like a soothing jingle of sleigh bells. Deep in thought I was unaware that Jace had walked closer and now circled me. "Can you hear their voices as they join their brethren? At times a gentle chant and others a roaring cry."

"Yeah…" I breathed. "I can hear them...the soft jingles of the snow hitting the ground, melting on my skin…"

"Perhaps they can hear you now. Give them a wave." Jace instructed. Curious enough, my hand gently rose before waving. Before my eyes the snow swirled from my motion creating a curtain that circled me.

"Whoa…" I breathed in amazement by what I just witnessed.

The man clapped. "Very good kiddo. Not bad progress for your first day. We should end for now and continue at dawn." I blinked in surprise as I looked to see the sky slowly growing dark.

"Already nightfall? Wow, felt like only hours." I breathed in stunned surprise. Jace chuckled a bit as we walked to find shelter. Even in the storm we were able to locate a small cave with enough room for both us. My teacher pulled out supplies and we gained a fire. I forgot how cold I was until I warmed up. I blew my breath in my hands before warming them over the fire.

Jace filled a pot with some snow and food as he set it over the flames to cook. He then leaned back against a rock a faced me. "So how are holding up from your first planeswalk?"

I shrugged. "Guess I could be doing worse. I have gotten into a somewhat steady life."

"I see." The man nodded. "It's encouraging to know you haven't let the trauma from the incident consume your thoughts." I could only chuckle with a small nod as I leaned back against the cave wall. "You're fortunate you can at least remember."

I blinked a bit. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Unlike you I can't really remember anything around the time I first became a planeswalker. The sphinx that trained me...wiped my memories and used me."Jace sighed. "I say you're lucky because you didn't suffer what I did."

I was shocked to be honest. He was...used and his own life wiped. "Is there….anything you do remember?"

"My memories were...brightened during my time spent on Ixalan, but I'm still trying to sift through them." Jace stirred his pot and sat down closer to me. "The only clear memories I have right now were from my last encounter with that damn creature and up till now. Before that...it's still foggy."

I couldn't help but feel bad for him. Having your memory wiped out would be horrible. Not remembering who you are, and what you might have treasured in the past. "I'm sorry Jace...but," I placed a hand on his shoulder. "If there's one thing I do know, always treasure what you know now, and think positive. Who knows, you might regain your all of your lost memories one day."

Jace chuckled a bit. "That is true, my young friend. I have been trying my best to remember and have made some progress, but they come and go instantly before I can even process them fully." I gave a small nod in understanding until a loud growl rumbled in my stomach. "Heh, not surprised your hungry. This is you only meal all day." The pot lid over the fire jingled around as steam burst out. I don't know what he made, but by hell it smelled good. He scooped two bowls full and handed me one. "Here, venison stew. Not a bad recipe if I do say so."

My mouth watered as I took the bowl and gulped. "Venison...you mean...meat?"

Jace grinned with a nod. "Always pays to have rations on hand." I took the bowl up to my lips and took a sip. Ingredients and the meat burst in my mouth with flavor. Driven by hunger, I poured the stew in my mouth with gulps, chomps and slurps as the chunky liquid dribbled from my cheeks. "Feel free to help yourself to more." He offered while eating his own slower. I downed mine pretty quick until I scooped more of the stew in my bowl and started my second helping. Oh it felt so good. You can't imagine how much I craved meat from the entire week ever since I came to Equestria. "So...you seem pretty friendly with those mares. Couldn't help but fall for someone of different species?~" His remark caused me to suck in a breath while I choked a bit.

I managed to swallow my food down before I coughed a bit. "Well uh….I don't know, Jace. I mean, in my years on earth, I didn't make friends that quick." I scooped more stew in my bowl. "They just welcomed me with open arms and got close to me."

"Uh huh," Jace smirked, "even with that purple one on top of you."

I was grateful I didn't put food in my mouth, or I would be choking badly now. "I told you not to invade my mind, jerk!" I snapped with a glare.

"Forgive me, but it's just my habit. It helps me understand others. Plus after my trust was betrayed all those years ago I don't trust many people." He replied with a small sigh.

I relaxed a bit before a sigh escaped me. "I guess I understand, but you know others are gonna throw a fit if you invade their most private of thoughts."

The man nodded. "I am aware of that, but sometimes it is necessary."

"By what? Embarrassing others?" I asked with a slight bit of humor to it.

"Well, it was certainly entertaining against you." He grinned.

"Don't make that a habit." I warned with a playful glare. "Once I master illusions, I'll be the next one laughing at you."

"We'll see how your training goes." Jace spoke with a laugh. After we finished the stew, he tossed me a blanket as we slept till the next day.

On the second day of training the storm had calmed as the sun occasionally pierced through the clouds. We stood opposite each other in the tundra as the illusionist began my next lesson. "Alright. So now that you can feel and influence small amounts of blue mana, it's time to harness all you from land around you."

I nodded in understanding, but something was troubling me. "Errr...Jace?" He looted his head. "Um...this book you gave me back in my home plane...I think it was already storing mana for me."

Proving my point was the purple flash of the book as it recorded another mana. "Blue mana acquired."

Jace nodded with a knowing smirk. "Guess now's as good a time as any to tell you a bit about that book. That was actually one of the last things that Tezzeret created before he dropped off the planer radar."

My eyes widened before I looked at my book and back to him. All of the pieces came to me as I took this in. "All this time. The card game I know is the real deal...I mean, seeing Ugin was shocking enough, but after what you told me...that just sealed the deal."

"Now you understand part of what I'm trying to prepare you for." Jace spoke. "As far as the mana your book has collected, that has only been given to you as colorless. They may have been registered as a different color, but since you don't yet know how to use their mana properly you couldn't even use the colors they belknged to." He then held out his hand as a few orbs of energy floated up from the ice and collected in his palm. Unlike the ones that I used to cast spells during my last couple days, these were blue.

I looked at the orbs floating around for a bit. "I see...you really think I can reach this kind of potential like you or any other planeswalker?"

A soft chuckle was heard. "Whether or not I think you can is irrelevant. Regardless, I'm not certain of the exact mana sources your spark is aligned to. However, since you were able to exert a small proportion of your will on those flakes last night, I would wager that that means you can use blue mana to some extent." His hand closed as the mana he collected vanished. "Now try to collect your own. That book will allow you to use an mana it has saved from the different places you travel to, but the easiest way to obtain mana is by collecting from the nearby sources."

"Ok...how do I do that?" I asked.

"Concentrate own your surroundings and let the mana flow out to you." He explained. Taking his instructions, I closed my eyes and cupped my hands together as I begin to concentrate with everything I had. "Empty your mind and let the mana speak to you." My mind went quiet as I listened and waited. Out of the tundra landscape I started hearing tiny splashing sounds, like when a drop of water falls in a puddle.

When I opened my eyes to see where these droplets were coming from, I was dumb struck. All around were hundreds of glowing blue orbs. They spiraled around like a calm whirlpool as I watched in awe. "Whoa….." I breathed as the droplets grazed my hand when I reached.

Beyond the wall of mana Jace gasped a bit. "Well...didn't see that coming."

"Is this supposed to be a good thing?" I asked while stunned.

"Take that as a sign your spark is definitely suited towards water mana." He chuckled. "I only pulled a few mana from the nearby land. But you...you seem to have pulled mana from several square miles."

"That much?" I was now shocked. I never knew I had that kind of potential in controlling my mana like this. If this is what I can do, maybe I can go even further. "Jace, show me more of what I can do. I want to master my power."

I saw a grin on his face. "I was hoping to have a protege. Let's see what you can do." He held his hand away from him as one blue orb shot out. It pulsed and grew in size as it shifted into a creature. The orb stopped shifting as it took the form of a mantaray. "This is my simplest illusion. It summons a creature linked to my very soul, my phantasm." I was captivated while it slowly flapped its fins and circled Jace. "Unlike all my other creatures that I can summon, this one will always be by my side whenever I fight. Every planeswalker has a familiar like this, even you."

I inspected the familiar that circled him. A smile forming my lips as I was excited to summon my own familiar. "So how can I summon my own familiar?"

"You'll need to search deep inside yourself to see who you partnered being is. It could take many days, weeks, or even months before you find out." The man answered. I gave a nod in understanding as I stood up.

"Okay, guess that means I'm not ready for the next level yet. Best to stay in reach of what I can learn until then." I spoke with a smile. Knowing my power, it's crucial to take it one step at a time. Learning my power too quickly will be dangerous and takes bring about many risks.

Jace grinned. "Good to know you have a sense of limitation. Now let's see if you have what it takes to cast illusions. Try absorbing some of that mana and forming it into an image." I took a breath as my hands reached out to the mana I gathered. A few orbs of the mana were sucked into my palms. With an image in mind I tried to create my first illusion. An orb of glowing sparkles formed in my hands and then-POP! It burst in my face as I became soaked to the bone with water. I heard Jace laughing his ass off as I glared.

"Yeah yeah, laugh it up, jackass." I grumbled while wiping the water off my face. This proved to be quite difficult as it was already starting to freeze.

The member of the gatewatch wiped a few tears from his eyes and spoke. "Please forgive me Alan. I couldn't help myself."

I punched the ice off my face as I shivered. "Whatever, let's go again. I need to get this right and perfected." Again and again I tried to focus my mana into an illusion. Every time left me more soaked and freezing than the last. The sun had already started setting by the time Jace finally stopped me.

"Alright, Alan. That's enough for today. Let's take the rest of the night off." He suggested.

I growled in frustration as I kicked a pile of snow before heading back to our cave. "This bites, I was getting close."

Jace shook his head. "Yeah, you were getting close to having frostbite." His hand fell on my shoulder. "I'm starting to think illusions may not be a match for your spark."

"I have to try." I stated as I pulled away from Jace and kneeled by the fire to warm up. "If I don't mount to anything, what kind of planeswalker am I? I have to push myself. I need to get better. Failure is not an option to me."

"I understand and appreciate where you're coming from but..." He took a seat on the opposite side of the flames. "If you only try to do something you can't do, you'll never learn what you can."

He made a point. It pained me a bit. I gave a sigh and grabbed my blanket and rolled off to the side. "Whatever…"

On the third day Jace woke me up on the early side as we started something new. "Given what occured yesterday, there is something else I want to see. The other possible way to manipulate blue mana are by canceling other spells or enchanting objects or creatures. I have a feeling that one of these you will be able to master."

I was still a bit sore from yesterday, but it was a new day, might as well hope this new lesson of his will do me any good. "Okay, where do I start?"

"We'll start with enchanting. Would you mind summoning an artifact. Any one will do." Jace began. I nodded as I pulled my book out and looked through to what to summon. It took a while, but in the end I decided to spawn my cobbled wings in front of me. It had been a few days since the incident in Canterlot and they were as good as new. Also, as I had not been back to Ponyville there hasn't been an opportunity for me to give them back to Scootaloo.

"Alright, so now what do I do?" I asked.

Jace came closer and placed my hand on the metal. "Absorb the mana like you did yesterday, but this time try to pour it into these wings." I nodded again as I concentrated. The orbs formed in my hands and once they were assembled I moved them closer and pressed them to the wings. There were several quiet minutes before a blue aura radiated around my hands. Seconds later it spread oven the entirety of the wings and faded.

I gave a growl. "That didn't work either!" As I stood up the aura returned on the wings as they began to grow in size. They increased five times larger and even began flapping on its own as it circled around me. "H-hey, what the-WHOA!" The artifact soared high in the air after gripping onto me. It zipped through the air completely out of my control. "GET ME DOWN!" The autonomous artifact seemed to respond to my plea before landing me safely in front of Jace.

He gave a wide grin as well as a slow clap. "Now that's more like it. So that's what the problem was. Your spark is suited best to use blue mana for enchanting." The man reached out and pet my artifact. "Using ensoul artifact to bring this object to life. Not bad at all."

My brain processed this info as I glanced at my wings. "I see now. Never thought I was more suited for enchantments."

Jace smirked. "Told ya you needed to try. Mind you, anything you enchant that you summon from that book will only have the enchantment until it is either destroyed or returned to your book. However, if you enchant the book itself, those should be permanent."

I blinked before looking at my book and to him. "I can enchant my book? Does that mean everything will be enchanted?"

"Not quite, I believe you will only be able to give it enchantments that affect you or what you do as a whole. They won't be on anything else you cast." Jace explained.

I nodded. "Alright. So...do I do the same thing to enchant my book, or is there something different needed to do?"

"Pretty much it's the same concept. The amount of mana that you pour into it will determine what enchantments are given." I nodded again as I followed the same routine. I felt my mana build up until it flowed within my book. It was a total of eight mana that I flooded into the object as two different blue auras pulsed around it. Jace thought for a moment then shrugged. "Try summoning another artifact." I thought for a moment until an idea popped as I summoned my cannon out.

As it appeared on the ice, a new orb of energy shot out of the book before turning itself into a mini plane like object with an engine of some sort in the back. It circled around me as it left a trail of blue light in its wake like a tail. "Alright...now wait a minute." I nodded as the two of us stood still. When that minute passed a second orb of light shot out and turned into another mini plane. "Well, there you go. You enchanted that book with the thopter spy network, and efficient construction. Each time you cast an artifact one of these thopters will be spawned instantly and as long as you have an artifact nearby you get another thopter every minute."

My amazement rose as a smile formed. "So little helpers huh? Sweet."

"Your own personal air armada." Jace joked. The two of us shared a laugh as I took in a breath.

"Looks like things are starting to lighten up." I smiled before looking at the snowy sky. "Wonder how the others are doing back at Ponyville."

Alan is finally starting to better understand the magic he can wield and more planeswalkers will come around to further his training. As for what happens next chapter...things are about to get...scary for our hero. Completely unknown to him, he is about to walk into an intense event at ponyville unlike anything he's ever seen. Hopefully he'll be able to beat to heat. Please be sure to leave a review on this chapter. Your comments are much appreciated and help me to better the story for you all to enjoy.
