"Your first lesson is to exert a powerful force, while not using all your energy." Implied Chase.

"Is that even possible?" Asked Stella

He closed his eyes and made a black orb, small and simple, and hurled into the woods, causing another huge clearing. He looked at Stella, who had her jaw dropped, and smirked.

"You tell me."

"Okay...so what do I do?"

"Close your eyes."

"What?"

"Close your eyes. Allow yourself to become one with your magic. Trust yourself within it. "

She did as she was told. She didn't feel anything for a few minutes.

"I don't feel anything, Chase"

"That's because you're not allowing yourself to go deeper in your essence."

She tried again. She saw a light. She reached for it. She felt herself become consumed with light and it was overwhelming.

"Make an orb and take aim." She heard chase say. Her hands were coming together, making a small orb exactly like Chase's, but filled with light. It dimmed out a little when Stella opened her eyes, but she quickly threw it next to the clearing chase had made, making a smaller clearing than his. Stella gasped. She made all that damage, but still feels energized to do everything.

"Very good, Stella."

She smiled and jumped around excitedly.

"I can't believe I did that!" She said gleefully. She looked at him.

"I guess you really know what you're talking about."

Chase raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"You doubted my knowledge and abilities?"

Stella blushed a little.

"I mean, yeah. You're human. I've never heard of humans having this type of power."

"I'm not like any other human. "his smirk disappeared. The monks must have not told her his story.

"Clearly. You have magical abilities."

"There's a reason I do. I used to be just like the monks. "

"Really?" She stepped closer to him. "What happened ?"

"The monks really haven't told you?" He crossed his arms, really not trying to believe the fact.

"Tell me what?" She looked deep into his eyes with curiosity.

"She's gonna have to know eventually" Chase thought.

"Don't be afraid of what's to come." He said

"Why would I be afr-"She was cut off at the sight of Chase transforming to his reptilian state. He grew taller. Way taller. She backed up with fear as he let out a giant roar from his giant, sharped tooth mouth.

She screamed.

"Stella, it's still me." He said in a raspy voice.

"H-how d-d-did t-t-this " She stuttered, completely taken aback by this sudden change.

Chase circled around her to make her less afraid. Tail lifting her chin to face him.

"I was once on the Xiaolin side. I wanted to become powerful, so I traded my eternal soul for this potion. The lao mang Long soup. It gave me powers and along with this form. If I don't keep consuming it, i revert to this, but in a more feral state. "

"I can see why you're so fateful to it."

He chuckled. And moved his tail from her chin.

"That's what your dragon friend said too."

"Can you revert back please? You're kinda scaring me." She said, visibly shaking.

He felt his heart flutter and also shatter at the same time. He loved seeing her scared, but also hated that she's scared of him in this form.

"Very well." He changed back to his human form, appearing concerned about her.

"Next time, you'll fight me in my reptile form. You will have to get used to seeing it."

"Next time ?"

"Yes. I want to teach you till you're a true component against me. "

"Why do you want me to be as strong as you?"

"Because you're the only one who's capable at fighting at my level." He took her hand and kissed it.

Stella blushed harder this time.

Chase chuckled.

"That's enough for one night. Be here same time tomorrow. I'll be waiting."

"O-ok." She stuttered. She fluttered her wings so she was exactly at his height.

He wanted to kiss her right at that moment.

"Goodnight Chase." She Said before flying out the woods.

Chase reached for her but it was too late.

"Goodnight...Stella." He said gloomily. He shook his head and started walking back to his lair.
