Kevin(author):O_O HOLY EPIC MEEPS! I HAVE MORE REVIEWS THAN CHAPTERS!*faints*

Skyler:*slaps Kevin awake with tail* Dude, we sorta need you to get the next chapter up. It's been a week already.

Kevin: Oh, right. On with the chapter!(sorry for lateness)

~(Tori's pov)~

It's been a few days since Skyler started training with Ronan, and it is BORING here. Skyler's out training with Ronan. Elesis, as a result of Ronan being busy, started sparring with Lass, along with giving him pointers on open combat. Who knows where Ryan and Lire are... probably in a tree or something. Arme's teaching Briana more magic. Jin, along with Dio, Jack, & Emma are having a four-way spar. I'm currently watching the four-way spar.

While hanging upside down from a tree branch.

Emma was actually using a sword instead of her magic tome, and was actually giving Jack a run for his money, while Jin had managed to get into a power war with Dio- combating Dio's "Onrush" with "Jin's Fist of 10,000 Hells" quite well.

Skyler and Ronan had left to the forgotten city to get new parts for the replacement Paradom. I know they chose this day to go because Skyler said he'd be okay for about a week- that week was up.

I turn towards the other spar field- there's a row of trees separating them. I'm in one of those trees.

Elesis was teaching Lass how to fight with a sword incase he ever got into open combat- something he's sure to do if he joins us on this journey, and I noticed his sword was a good deal thinner than Elesis' sword- hers being about torso width, his being about the width of three fingers.(1)

I heard a rustling from higher up in the tree I was in, and looked... down, to see Ryan hanging from a tree branch by one hand, Lire crouching... on the side of the tree?(2)

I decided not to ask, seeing as they're Elves, which by definition are more attuned to nature, and know how to do stuff like that.

Oh, and Gabby followed Skyler out.

~(Skyler's pov)~

"That's the last of them. Right?"

"Yeah, we've got the laser mechanisms, plating, and hover mechanisms. That's it! Time to head home!"

"Alright."

'Why can't I contact the dragon? It's so weird...'

I learned to use dragon magic instead of regular spellsword magic, which I guess I was able to use because of the dragon blood, but since I put the gem into my sword, I haven't been able to contact the dragon as I had before.

I've learned to use rune spiral, but when I use it, the rune bursts into flame upon being struck. Instead of Giga Crash, I drag my sword on the ground and spin once before launching a pillar of flame from it. When I focus all my energy into one attack... I don't know what'll happen. I haven't had to do that yet. I've also learned to regrow dragon parts, but it's hard to do, and once I do so, it's hard to make them go away. And you know how Ronan jumps in the air and summons a rune-shield? Instead of that, I focus my energy in my feet to control my flight path with a burst of energy. It takes a lot out of me though...(3)

I haven't used the second blade yet, but I'll put it to use soon.

Oh well. We're headed back now, which shouldn't take very long. Thankfully. Gabby won't have to pester me much more- thank goodness.

~(Briana's pov)~

"Focus more on making it last instead of making it powerful."

I nod and try to control the wind with my left palm for the millionth time today, finally getting a better result. I got a small sphere going, and was able to sustain it well.

"Good, now, try to add a bit more power."

I do as she says. However, the only result I get is putting a crater in the wall I was trying to destroy.

"Hm..." Arme thought for a minute, then said, "Try it with both hands."

"Err... Okay."

'I can do it, I know I can!'

I do as told.

I spread my feet, putting my left towards the wall,I hold my hands in front of my chest, right over left, and focus on the air in between them.

I feel the air pressure double, triple, quadruple, quintuple.

~(Ryan's pov)~

"Storm's comin'."

Tori replied, "How can you tell? I don't see any storm clouds..."

Lire responded, "The air pressure dropped. Ryan's right."

~(Arme's pov)~

'I've never seen someone so determined to learn magic. She's doing better than I can right now! Any second now the air in between her hands could implode!'

I then felt something cold and wet land on my shoulder. I look up.

It's raining.

I then turn back to Briana, and almost fall over in shock.

The pupils in her eyes dilated, making her look almost like she was possessed.

~(Briana's pov)~

"AaaaaaAAAAAHHHHH!"

I release all the air that's gathered between my hands, in a single blast that turned the stone wall Arme had pulled out of the ground into dust and sent said dust halfway across the town.

"Holy..."

"*pant*How*pant*was that?*pant*" I then collapsed from exaustion.

~(Arme's pov)~

'If that just happened, and I know it did, then this girl may just end up being the greatest mage ever to live...' I thought in shock. 'Her sheer determination to learn... No, to protect... It's incredible...'

I take Briana up to her room.

'She's ready, even if no one else is.'

~(End of chapter)~

A/N: 1) This is about the size of the typical broadsword.

2) Lire is crouched on the side of the tree just above the branch Ryan's hanging off of with both of her feet on the tree and one hand holding onto a small hole that Tori failed to see.

3) Lol yes I just described Skyler's 1 & 2 bar skills XD

Kevin: Sayonara!

Skyler: Adios!
