Coming down the wire for the year of separation between Spirit and Krystal, here is the next chapter.

P.S: This might be me dreaming but I hope to get a least 50 reviews by the time this story is over.

Training and Understanding (Spirit POV)

Day 300

Temple of Fire, Unknown Location

8:45 A.M.

I was eating breakfast alone when I heard a faint noise coming from Rayde's room. I paid it no mind, thinking that it was another one of her tricks to try and get me to mate with her. For the last few days, she was using every trick in the book to try and get my hormones to be in control. It ranged from showing me her women-hood, to fake crying and releasing large amounts of her sent to try and provoke me.

I was glad that Richard was still with me and doing what her could to keep me from performing adultery. There have been moments where it came close, closer than I ever wanted to be. However, I would always be save when Richard would send me memories of my time with Krystal. It always brought me back to reality just in the nick of time.

"It might be a good time to try that new power we learned from the book my father wrote." I said to Richard

"It will keep us occupied from more troubling matters but sooner or later, you are going to have to check in on her."

"I know" I replied as I made my way to the dojo.

The power in question was a very old power back in the days when silver dragons were a common sight. That changed however when a silver dragon, whose name was lost in the passage of time, found an ancient temple inside a volcano. The dragon was curious and entered the temple. He went through many traps and puzzles until he came to the center and found a large spirit crystal. The crystal was different that instead of glowing blue, it was glowing white. Curiosity got the better of him and decided to touch the crystal. It was then that the crystal started to form and morph into the shape of a dragon. The silver dragon was scared but was unable to move.

The records are vague as to what happen between the silver dragon and the crystal dragon but they do talk about a deal the silver dragon made with the crystal dragon. The crystal dragon granted the abilities to harness all eight elements in the world and an element that was special to the ancestors. The down side was that only two silver dragons could exist in every age. When the deal was made, the silver dragon left the temple only to find that the rest of his kind was killed by an unknown cause. He was heartbroken and went into a state of despair for many days.

It was then that the crystal dragon returned to him. At first, the silver dragon was angry with him over the fact that he was the last of his kind. The crystal dragon understood his greave and offered him a title that he and his descendent would carry for the rest of their lives. The title would also come with another gift and as a bonus; the silver dragon was allowed to choose his title. He thought long and hard until he came up with the answer. "I want me and my future generations to be known as 'The Guardian of Light'. The crystal dragon was pleased and gave his two gifts. The first was the ancestral memory of the location of the Temple of the Holy Fire, the most powerful light based substance in the Dragon Realms.

The second was a ninth element in addition to the other eight, the power to cleanse any dark dragon from their corrupted influence without causing any physical pain. (A.N: I am sorry for the history lesson but it was needed.)

I still did not know where the Holy Fire was but for the last few days I have felt a new power surfacing. I ask Richard to look into it and he told me that it was my ninth element ready to be awakened. It was today that we decided to try and unleash it.

I created a single dummy that was under the complete influence of darkness and started to search for that power. I could feel my light powers and my dark ones but I then notice a certain…merge between some of my light and dark energies. I tapped into that power and charged it into my mouth. An orb of white energy appeared and started to collect in my mouth until it was full. I then focused on the target and release it in a steady stream.

A large beam strikes the target dead in the chest. The dummy floated in the air and I could feel the darkness inside of the dummy start to disappear. I poured more energy into the attack, eager to test the limit of the attack.

After a period of 30 seconds, I halted the flow of energy from my mouth. I watched as the dummy returned to the ground and was surprised that no damage was caused by the attack. I let out a roar of victory over the new power.

The power, as the first silver dragon called it, of Concavity. (A.N: Credit goes to Viperwatcher for the name)

I then heard more noise coming from Rayde's room. Realizing that it warrants my attention, I made my way to the room. I could feel Richard fortify my mind of my hormones as I double checked to make sure the four restricting crystals were still active. The orange ones are designed to limit the amount of strength a dragon has while the green ones keep their magic powers low. I had to use then because I did not want her to try and tackle me to force me to mate.

I made it to her room and I hear crying. Part of me was concerned for her but another part was still on edge, expecting another form of trick. I entered the room and the first thing I notice was the lack of her sent in the air. I then notice that she had bent her head over so she was crying on her chest. I felt great sadness in her and decided to take a chance at communicating with her, since it was hard to talk with a lust filled dragoness.

"Are you alright Rayde?" I asked

"No I'm not" was her reply

"What's wrong?"

"I failed you master" she looked up at me and I notice that there was no more lust in her eyes, only despair. "I thought I could handle myself when my heat came since I already mated with Infinitis but it seems that I was wrong. I did my best to keep it under control but it was too much. I don't deserve to be a fire guardian."

"NO" I shouted as I made my way over to her side. I then lowered my voice to a tone of that a father talking to their child.

"You did not fail; you were merely fallowing your instincts. It is completely natural although if you had told me beforehand, we could have gotten through this without too much problems."

"Did…did I…"

"No you didn't. You did not receive my seed."

"That good"

We were silent for a few minutes before I said "Is your heat over?"

"Yes master"

"And do you promise to work harder to make up for the time that was lost."

"Yes master I promise."

"Good, if you show the same determination you showed in the past, we will have completed your training in time for you final test."

"Understood master"

I unlocked the chains that were holding her and she made her way to get something to eat. She then made her way to the dojo and we got back to work on turning her into a full fledge fire guardian.

I wonder what the final test is. You will find out soon enough.
