Author Note: Oh my goodness, it's been so long since I updated, I feel terrible for not updating sooner, so please don't kill be for I only turned 16, today. So please enjoy this chapter.
I stood and followed her down a path toward a cherry tree by a lake. "Wow, this is beautiful." I smiled.
"It is, isn't it. Focus on the energy in the lakes water, and form it into a sphere." She said.
I closed my eyes and felt the energy, the life from the lake and gathered some water into a sphere above it. "There." I smiled.
"Very good, now try and form it into an animal." She said.
I looked at the sphere, and it shifted into a dog like creature. "Very good, what is it?" She asked.
"It's a type of dog that lives in my kingdom, it's called a wolf." I said and had it walk around on the water.
"Now, lets see if you can make a wolf from the heat of the sun." She said.
I felt the sun's rays shining down on the earth and pulled its energy towards me. The energy formed into fire and I formed it into a wolf. "Very good! Now, that should be good for today, let's head back." She smiled.
"Alright." I looked at the wolves and smiled, "Good bye till next time." I smiled and let go of the energy from them and they slowly vanished.
We walked back to the palace and into the courtyard to see Kuro sparing with some of the warriors that stayed behind to protect the town. "My lady's, it's a pleasure to see you here." Bowed a ninja.
"It's our pleasure, we were just returning from a walk. You wouldn't mind if Crystal spared with you." She asked smiling.
"What." I said and looked up at her.
"Sure, that wouldn't be a problem at all." He smiled.
"Come now Princess Crystal, we'll get you a weapon." He said.
"She won't need one, right." She smiled.
"Princess Tomoyo, I don't have my staff." I said.
"Of course you do, all you have to do is summon it." She smiled.
"Summon it, how?" I asked.
"Simple, call out to it." She smiled.
"Right." I closed my eyes and thought 'I call on you, my staff.' I opened my eyes and my palms shined a bright color and I felt an item land in them. "My staff." I smiled.
"Wonderful job Crystal, now go easy on her alright, she is allowed to use her magic." Said Tomoyo.
"Yes my lady." He bowed, "Let's begin at the beginner stage." He said and he walked away and I looked for Tomoyo, but she was already gone. "Alright Crystal, you'll take me first." He said and another ninja hit a gong. Before I knew it, he was running my way.
'Help me.' I thought and opened my eyes. I summoned the energy from the sun and the water in the pond and formed them into multiple copies of wolves. He stopped running and stared at the army of dogs.
"What's this!" He yelled.
"Friends!" I smiled. "Now, formation!" I yelled and the fire wolves ran around him going to the right and the water ran around him from the left.
"You think that will stop me." He said and he pulled out these star blades and threw them at the wolves making them disappear. "What else you got?" He asked smiling.
"Ugh, this!" I said and held my hand up. The energy flowed around me and became ice shards and sent them at him.
He covered his face in defense as the shards scratched him. "Not bad, but you'll have to do better." He said and ran for me again.
I took a step back and held onto my staff, "Blizzard!" I yelled and from my staff sent a blizzard attack at him.
"What!" He suddenly stopped in his spot and froze.
"Oh no, what did I do!" I said and looked at him, "Sir, are you alright?" I asked.
He didn't respond, but he suddenly moved again and collapsed to the ground. "That, was something I wasn't, expecting." He said and fainted.
"Ah, sir, sir! Wake up, sir!" I said.
"Don't worry, he's just knocked out." Smiled Tomoyo walking up behind me. "See, look at how much you learned, using magic too." She smiled.
"I guess, but I didn't know where that attack came from." I said.
"It came from inside, try thinking of a different spell." She said.
I thought and turned. "Fire." I said and a fireball was cast above my staff. "Wow!" It vanished and I thought once again. "Thunder." I said and suddenly lighting bolt came down from the sky and onto the ground in front of me.
"I think that's enough for today." Said Tomoyo looking at a crater.
"Alright." I said and followed her away from the courtyard Kuro was watching in amazement of the battle.
End Note: Yes, today is my 16th birthday, and I updated for you guys. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I had it ready a while ago, but I didn't have time to update, sorry. Hockey is a real killer you know, getting up early, then going to school right after, running two miles twice a week, it's really tiring. So I'm sorry again for the late update. Thank you for reading, please review!
