Chapter 10: Basic Training

Silver: Well once again I come crashing in with another chapter. Sorry once again for taking a long time to get this chapter up, it was quiet difficult to write.

Silver: One thing that I am going to shoot out there is that I need a beta reader. I know where I want to go with this story. I just need someone need to read over the chapters before I post them and help me along; I am new to this after all.

Silver: Disclaimer time!

Disclaimer:

Cynder: Silver doesn't own the Spyro characters or story, only his own OCs and story line.

Silver: And if you don't like the story then just don't read it.

Silvus' POV:

Everyone had a look of shock on their faces, except Amelia. i got a feeling that her element allows her to see other's elements.

"It appears we were wrong." Hadriel said.

"Not all of us!" Amelia said with a smirk.

"You knew he was ice?" My dad said.

"Well of course!" Amelia said happily. "I am a Psion dragon!" She said.

Dad gave nod of approval, then looked over at Hadriel.

"What of the silver glow Hadriel." Dad asked.

"This is something I have never seen before." Said Hadriel, then looked at me. "Perhaps a side effect of your original color." Hadriel said.

"When will you start training." Mom asked.

"In a few days your children will learn their elemental breaths." Hadriel responded. "The difference in elements will not hinder the basics in training, but soon enough they will need teachers of their own element."

Mom nodded in understanding.

"As for you two." Hadriel said, addressing me and Rose. "Meet me here for your first lesson in two days." Me and Rose nodded. "You are dismissed." He said, now waiting for us to leave.

As we left, several other young dragons walked in past us. Right before the door closed I heard Hadriel say "Greetings class!"

It's been two days. Me and Rose are heading to the training room for our session with Hadriel. I am still quite surprised about being an ice dragon. I would have thought that Hadriel's guess would be right. Be what was unexpected, was the fact that Rose is a fear dragon.

For how shy she is, my sister is taking being a fear dragon pretty well. She is no longer afraid of have a 'dark' element. I don't understand why it's called a dark element, more of a rare element.

We were just arriving at the training room when several dragons our age walked out of the room, with a wind dragon I did not recognize. Me and Rose just stood by the door waiting for them to pass.

I walked into the room followed by Rose to see Hadriel and Amelia waiting for who knows what.

"Ah! Rose, Silvus. You've arrived." Hadriel said.

"Who were those dragons Master Hadriel?" I asked.

"Those were my other students. You will join them when you have caught up in my teachings." Hadriel said,

"Yay! New dragons!" I said excitingly.

"Speak for yourself." Rose said quietly.

"Now. For your first lesson, your elemental breath." Hadriel said. "Let's start with Rose, come on up." Hadriel encouraged. He quickly turned to Amelia. "You continue your practices." Amelia nodded.

Rose walked up to Hadriel expectantly.

"Before we begin. We are to meet here every day at this time until up catch up with my class." Hadriel said. "Now listen closely young dragons, this is something you'll need for the rest of your life."

Both me and Rose nodded in understanding.

"In order to breath your element, you must search for it deep within you. Find it, harness it, and release." At the end of his words he opened his mouth and sent out a breath of wind. "Now, you try Rose."

Rose looked a little stunned by this. She looked down at her feet and closed her eyes. Nothing happened, she just stayed like that for minutes. Then she opened her eyes and her mouth. Nothing came out but a faint red glow and a low scream.

"Good." Hadriel said. "Good for your first try. Keep practicing, Silvus, it is your turn now." He said adressing me.

"Okay!" I said excitingly.

I quickly found my concentration and tried to find my breath deep within me. Trying to quickly I opened my mouth and nothing came out, not even a breath of cold air.

"You are trying to quickly young dragon, you must search deep within you until you find that spark." Hadriel said. "That goes for you too Amelia." She noded in response. "Now try again."

I closed my eyes once again, searching within me until I found that spark. It was a light spark, I surrounded myself in it. Letting it flow through me. At first it felt cold, then it spread warmth throughout me. I took a breath in, opened my eyes and released, shooting a cold breath of ice out of my mouth.

"Good job Silvus!" I looked round and saw my mom on the other side of the room. I smiled in thanks.

Suddenly a screech pierced the air. Everyone looked over at Rose to see her screeching while some kind of red glow was coming out of her mouth. She closed her mouth when everyone started staring at her.

"Good job Rose you have passed, you may leave." Hadriel said as Rose left. "Silvus I want you to keep practicing until it comes naturally." I nodded and continuously attempted to breath ice. Many times in came the same way, nothing more than cold air. Yell of annoyance cut through the air.

"It's useless! Psion might not even have an elemental breath!" Amelia yelled angrily before she took a deep breath and exhaled. "I'm fine now."

"Maybe you have no breath because you only do things with mind!" I said, taking another breath and shooting out a shard of ice. My mouth felt particularly cold after that one.

"You're probably right, good thinking Silvus." Mom said.

"You have practiced enough young dragon." Hadriel said before turning around and walked to the other end of the room. "This time tomorrow." He said before going through a different door. Amelia smiled at me before she left with him.

"Come on Silvus." Mom said walking out the door. I quickly followed after her.

"Hey mommy!" I said. "Can we explore village?" I asked. She looked back at me.

"Of course we can just let me tell your father where were going." She replied.

"Okay!" I chirped.

This place was hardly like any my mountain home. There were several dragons here. Every single one seems to be a wind dragon. There were other dragons here and there.

I wonder if I could find out more about this city Warfang. It seems that this place...Windig may or may not be bigger or smaller than it. By the size of this village I'd say Warfang is bigger.

"Hey mom?" I asked.

"Yes Silvus?" She answered.

"Have you been here before?" I asked.

"Yes." She said, walking over to the ocean at the edge of the town with me beside her. "This is where me and your father lived before we moved to the mountain."

"Oh! Cool!" I chirped.

We kept on walking until we got to the massive body of water spread out before us.

"Were other element dragon here?" I asked curiously.

"There were but I haven't a clue where they've gone." She said staring off into the distance. "This place doesn't have as many dragons as it used to." She said turning around. "Now there are just wind dragons."

"Can you walk on water?" I suddenly asked. She jumped in surprise.

"I can." She responded.

"Can I see?" I asked happily.

Without responding she walked down to the docks with me trailing behind. We walked onto the dock until reached a part of it that settles on the surface on the water. I went up to it a hit it with my paw, causing ripples on the surface. Mom walked down next to me, with one look at the water she somehow caused it to become smooth as glass.

"I have once heard that ice dragons can walk on water." Mom said, my eyes widened and I prepared to jump on the surface. She put a paw in front of me as I was about to jump. "But not after some training though." I backed down disappointingly. "I have had that training." I looked up excitingly.

"Watch and learn young one." Mom said as she stepped onto the surface of the water without sinking to the bottom. She walked across the surface as if it was normal ground.

My jaw dropped in amazement.

"Come Silvus." Mom said gesturing for me to come to her.

I tilted my head in confusion. She extended her paw out towards me. I place my paw on the surface of the water; my paw instantly went under the cold water. I retracted my paw almost instantly.

"Trust me Silvus." She said making eye contact with me. "Walk."

I tried once again to put my foot down onto the water lightly. This time I felt a pressure at the bass of my paw. I took a step, and this time I did not sink. One by one by I was fully on the water; walking towards my mother slowly.

"Do not be afraid." She said. "I will hold you up." Her paw still extended out towards me.

Slowly but surely I made it to her, I reached out my smaller paw and she grasped it.

"How does it feel to walk on water." She asked.

"Awesome." I said loudly.

The pressure underneath my feet suddenly disappeared, but before I could fall into the water mo swung me onto her back. She began to walk back to the dock.

Silver: Yeah this took too long to do. My current goal is to post one chapter a week, accept when I'm off school.

Silver: I am going to be searching for a beta reader so I won't have a chapter up next week.

Silver: Anyways see ya next week!
