"You have already learned how to transform into a human correct?" That was Shaeldar's greeting as I walked into the training hall the next day.
"Yes, sir, I have. The last time I used it was about one year ago."
"Show me."
"Yes, sir." I focused my energy, and a black sphere of energy appeared around me. I felt my wings and tail disappear as my body changed. When the transformation was finished, the energy dissipated, and I stepped forward. Unlike the last time I did this, where I still retained some of my draconic characteristics, this time I completed the transformation. (Character description: roughly eleven years in age, black hair, and ice-blue eyes)
"You already took into account how old the boy will be when you meet him again, and the transformation was flawless. Good work."
"Thank you sir." I said. Honestly, I probably couldn't have said any more even if I wanted to. From what I had heard about Shaeldar, he was incredibly hard to please, and complements of any kind were quire rare.
"Have you thought about making a wand for yourself?" he asked.
"Yes, sir, I have. I thought that I should use one of my claws for the core, and maybe oak as well."
"Hmmm….the claw sounds like a good idea, but I think that you should use Dragoni wood instead of oak."
"Th-thank you sir!" I stammered. Dragoni wood!? That is one of the most powerfully magical plants in the world! It only grows here on this island, and so is regarded as myth by most wizards, and is almost never used for things like this!
"One more thing, stop calling me sir. My name is enough as long as we are here. If others are around, then and only then will you call me 'sir'."
"Alright…Shaeldar."
"Resume your true form, and come back tomorrow morning with the core ready."
"Alright." I said. I focused my energy again, and a few seconds later, I was back to my normal body. I then left the room, and was shown to the exit.
I then flew back to my cave, and set to work, first cutting the claw off, and then cutting it for the core.
The next few years passed relatively uneventfully, with the only shock coming from Shaeldar teaching me the Elementals. They are immensely powerful spells which enable the user to control the elements of fire, water, air, earth, and lightning over a limited area, and can be used to create literally thousands of effects. We also spent the entire last year of my training working on the three Forbidden spells. The first can inflict massive amounts of damage to large areas, the second can control the minds of others, and the most powerful of the three can rip a person's soul out of their body. Both Shaeldar and I feel that those three should not be used unless there is no other choice, and that I should never let on that I can use them. Of course, if something extreme were to happen, then it's comforting to know that I can use them.
Ok, same as before, read and review.
