Piper and the rest of teh Storm Hawks stood there, shocked. Zabber stood up again and looked straight into her eyes.
"You're affraid aren't you?", he asked.
"Well..yeah. I'm mostly confused, why me?"
"The First warrior died in that battle and believed that a descent from the other side would come after the hooded devils descendant. You are the descendant", he explained to her.
"Why do you assume it's her? I mean it could be Aerrrow or anyone of us..well except for Radarr", Finn spoke his mind.
Radarr growled at Finn, in a threatening manner. Piper was about to sigh, when Zabber explained to everyone that the descendant would be shown to the guardian of the forest by the past guardians, and that the guardians showed her.
"Well..i guess we're going to the forest of gods", Aerrow said out loud.
"You're wrong Red Spice. Me and Piper are leaving and going to train at the Forest of Gods until we're good and ready to face Cyclonis. She can't have any contact from any of you until the training is over. You can Improve with your Biding ability and be stronger and face Cyclonis by yourself", Zabber explained.
"Why? I mean, they're my family", Piper tried to change his mind.
"It's how things must be. Eventually in life you have to go through a path that you want your family to go with you, but you know you have to do it alone. We have to leave Tomorrow night. I'll be in the forest resting and i'll be back tomorrow morning to hear your decision.", With that Zabber vanished from the Condor.
After an hour, Piper was in her room thinking, when she heard a knock at her door.
"Piper?", It was Aerrow. "Yeah Come on in", Piper sounded happy.
"Well, at leats we know that this Zabber wasted a long trip for nothing", he told her.
"He didn't actually", She interrupted him.
The red head gave her a concerned look, "what do you mean?"
"I'm going tomorrow night Aerrow"
".....I see. So you're just going to abandon us?", he sounded furious.
"Why are you upset?"
"You're leaving for who know how many years and you might not make it back if you face Cyclonis alone...great choice. Have a nice suicide trainning", Aerrow walked out and went into his room and refused to talk to her or anyone else.

When the sun was rising, Piper went for a walk around the forest. She was aout to head back, when she heard what sounded like a rushing river. After a coupled of minutes, Piper saw a huge river and up a cliff was Zabber.
"Morning Piper!", he shouted from high up the ground.
"Morning!"
He made his way to her, "What's your decision?"
"....I'm ready for my training", she answered him.
"Are you pack?"
"Yes"
"Then we'll head back so that you can say 'see ya later', or your friends", He lay down, to let her on his back.
Once she was well sat, he ran towards the Condor.
~X~
When they reache the Condor, everyone was outside waiting to say their goodbyes to their teamate and friend. Radarr climbed onto her shoulder and whined, while hugging her neck.
"I'm going to mis you too Radarr, but i'll be back i promise", she petted his head.
Stork shook her hand, but Pier pulled him into a hug. Everyone was surprised when the merb returned the hug.
"Now if you don't mind, i'll be disinfecting myself for a week", Stork went back in the Condor.
"and i thought he was trying to have a touchy moment", Finn told everyone.
"Junko, Finn?...You two stay out of trouble you hear?", Piper warned them while shaking a small fist.
The guys laughed along with her. Zabber signaled her that it was time to go. Before Piper was able to get on, Junko dragged out Aerrow from the shadows and placed him in front of his friend.
"..well see ya", Aerrow didn't even look at her.
"Aerrow..."
"Just go!", he shouted at her.
Piper got on Zabber and rode West. Junko, Stork, and Finn gave a sad look towards Aerrow and walked back in.
~X~
While heading further away from her family, Piper and Zabber were getting closer to their training grounds. After 2 days of traveling, they finally arrived at the FOrest of the Gods. Piper got off and walked in.
"Piper wait!", Zabber tried to stop her.
Piper was already in. That's when she noticed that she was hearing voices, and a white Bengal Tiger was approaching her.
"You're are not ready to step on these pure grounds my dear", he lead her out. "You have done a good job at keeping your rider close, Zabber"
"I'm sorry fath-I mean master", Zabber corrected himself.
"Wait you're is dad?", she asked.
"Aye, but until he completes his and your training, he shall call me master and not father"
The white beast climbed onto the top of a cavern and loooked down at her.
"Piper....are you ready to start your training with your partner Zabber?"
Piper looked back at Zabber, then at her trainer, "yes, i am ready master". Piper kneeled on one knee, with a slight bow. Zabber bowed as well.
"Your training starts...now!", he roared.
