"Damn you, woman! Get away from me!" Wufei yelled, causing a young woman who was following him to laugh.
"I'll leave you alone, Chang, when you call me by my name!" the young woman called.
"FINE! Merian! Leave me alone! I want to train in peace!" Wufei yelled, amusement tinting his voice. "I have to beat Maxwell when he visits again!"
Rolling her eyes, Merian laughed, saying, "Fine. I'll have your supper ready for you when you're finished."
Glaring after her, Wufei growled.
"You know you love her, Wufei."
Spinning around, Wufei glared at the young boy who had appeared behind him. "Who are you?"
Laughing, the young boy smiled, asking, "Will it really matter who I am, or will you try to attack me anyway?"
Growling, Wufei didn't even bother to reply, attacking straight away. It did no good. Within seconds, Wufei was on his back in pain, the young boy standing over him, shaking his head.
"You know, it will do you no good to attack the holder of the Keeper of the Light. I will always win. Unless you get lucky," the young boy replied.
Eyes widening, Wufei scrambled to his feet, backing away. "Why should I believe you?"
"You don't have to believe me. I just came here to ask you a question. You know about the fight I went through to protect the Earth from the evil of the four elemental gods. I need to pass on the god's powers before they destroy everything. I have already passed on the powers of Wind, Water and Earth. The power of Water, was passed to the son of a very noble soldier of Poseidon. The power of Earth was passed to the Earth Prince. The power of Wind was passed to a member of the Wind clan, your friend, Duo Maxwell. I wish to pass on the power of Fire to you. If you accept this, you will become immortal, as the others have. You will also not remember the powers until they are needed, nor will you remember me or this conversation. Do you accept what I ask of you?" the young boy questioned.
Frowning thoughtfully, Wufei questioned, "Maxwell accepted the powers of Wind?"
Nodding, the young boy remained quiet.
Crossing his arms, Wufei glared at the boy, saying, "I accept the powers of Fire, all their responsibility along with the immortality that they will bring."
Nodding, the young boy smiled as they began to glow a dark red. The glowing intensified as Wufei's hair lengthened and gained deep red streaks. His skin became scaley, and turned a dark red, as flame patterns decorated his chest and arms. Flames from the torches and fires in the room shot out and encased Wufei. As the glowing dimmed, the flames entered Wufei, becoming one with his body and blood.
As the glowing stopped, Wufei and the young boy was set on the floor.
"You will be called upon when you are needed again. And, just a word of advice. Merian loves you. Treat her kindly. I will see you again. Until then." The young boy disappeared, along with the changes to Wufei's body and the memories of the powers he had received.
Glaring around the room, Wufei grunted before leaving the room to go to dinner.
