What's up peeps im-back with another chapter update. If you guys have any ideas for my story please let men know now let's dive on in.


Chapter 7: The Phoenix Training session

It was dawn Yubel was up already and was on the hunt for breakfast, she came across a lake which was filled with fish, but she was on the hunt for something much bigger than an ordinary fish. There was word of a specific fish species called the legendary fish which was the size of a two sharks it only swam in these waters early and their hard to hunt. But the task wouldn't be to hard for a phoenix though.

"Alright if I am correct that legendary fish should be approaching by now, a creature so large will provide Zodie with the protein he will need for his training today". Yubel said while airborne

After waiting a few more seconds she with her eyesight spotted the lake down below something was about to surface. The creature had finally surfaced it was an aquatic creature with red eyes and sharp teeth, it was the about the size of a megladon and had the long body width of a serpent, it was none other then the legendary fish.

After spotting the creature Yubel dived down planning on catching the creature off guard, with her massive talons drawn Yubel goes in for the kill when suddenly she starts to feel a massive sharp pain coursing through her body which made her yelp out in pain. Of course this didn't go unnoticed to the leg. fish as Yubel came down the Leg. Fish swung it's massive tail at her knocking her into the water. Yubel under water with the sharp pain still coursing in her body struggled to the surface, as the pain slowly went away she introduced to another pain. Leg. Fish swam towards her biting her on the leg not letting go making yubel scream in pain. The fish clearly had the advantage in the water Yubel knew she had to get of their so after gathering up her all her strength with the help of her magic Yubel burst out of the water and grabbed the fish by it's tail and throw's it out on the land.

"Gasp Gasp Gasp gasp" Yubel said trying to catch her breath "That was close almost got to me today but I have to keep strong for my son's sake" Yubel thought.

Yubel's body then glowed dark purple she was using her magic to heal herself and her leg after a few seconds she was all better. She then made her way over to the Leg. fish which had died from being out of water grabbed it with her talons and flew it back to the cave

" I hope Zodie is still asleep". She thought


Back in the cave

Moments later Yubel arrives back at the cave very silently so she wouldn't wake up Zodie, thankfully he was still sleeping. Yubel then gathers up sticks and stones in order for her to cook the fish something that big will take time so she sat and wait planning on it being ready when Zodie woke up.


2 hours later

The fish was ready nice and hot Yubel then goes over and lightly touches Zodie with her beak

"Alright Zodie time to wake up are you prepared for your lesson today"? Yubel asked

"Yes mom i'm ready." I replied.

"Good because today we'll be working on how well you can navigate your way through a dark cave as well as your skills of senses".

"My senses while inside of a dark cave?" I asked

"Exactly as a user of dark magic you will learn the ability of being able to see through the dark and avoiding obstacles that stand in your path" she exclaimed.

"okay" I replied "good now go on and eat some breakfast you'll need your strength my little Phoenix".

I nodded and hugged her beak and went to eat my breakfast with Yubel joining me. As we were eating I could'nt help but notice that Yubel had a large bite mark on her leg.

"Hey mom how did you get that mark on your leg"?

Yubel stopped eating and looked down at me trying to think of a lie to cover it up, knowing that I was bit naive she thought of the perfect one she told me.

"Oh this why it's a birth mark thats all" Ybel lied

I shrugged my shoulders and went back to eating

"Okay".

Yubel thought to herself "I need to be more careful".


Hours later

We arrived at a new location in front of a cave not like ours this one was a tad smaller but had no skylight.

"There are the obstacles you will encounter inside the caves, though this will not be easy but since your learning to see in the dark this should be simple if you can grasp the you ready Zodie"? Yubel asked

"I am" I replied

"Good, there is an exit at the end of the cave that is where I will be waiting. She exclaimed

I put on my game face and ran straight into the cave ran until I couldn't see the light from the front of the cave it was pitch black. As I was walking down the dark path I soon felt something trip me I had assumed that it was a rock, but since it was dark I couldn't tell. I got off the ground but as soon as I did I stepped on something sharp.

"Ow crap that hurt" I shouted grabbing onto the back of my head.

I was hopping around on one foot while I had the other in my hands till I slipped and fell, and I sat on something sharp.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH MY BUTT" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

I shot straight into the air from the pain, as I did my head hit the top of the roof of the cave. After hitting my head I fell face first on the ground.

"Okay Yubel was right this was not easy, not easy at all" I complained.


On the outside of the cave

Yubel was waiting at the end of the cave she heard everything that was going on inside. She couldn't help but laugh a little when she heard me scream

"Oh dear, Zodie must be having a hard time in their" Yubel giggled a little.


Back Inside

I was gasping a little tired from all the stuff I was falling all over, this was getting way out of hand. I needed to get out of this cave I have to pass this training session. I shut both my eyes and started to relax my body. I began to take a few breathes in and out. After a few seconds I can feel my magic power coursing through me, when I opened my eyes I was able to see clearly.

This was so cool I could see in the dark now, I saw all the things I tripped over and could see the path in front of me. I swiftly ran through the path of the cave maneuvering over spikes and sharp pointy rocks with some summersaults.

After what felt like twenty minutes I soon noticed a bright light at the end of the cave, it must have been the way out. I ran straight toward the exit not without maneuvering over more obstacles in my way. After second's I finally made it out of the cave where Yubel was waiting for me.

"Well done Zodie I knew you could do it" Yubel congratulated.

"Thanks mom but you could've told me about all that stuff inside I hurt myself trying to find my out of there" I winend.

"Now Zodie I specifically told you that this wouldn't be easy, plus telling you what was inside of the cave wasn't going to help you any you'd still have to endure the obstacles inside" she exclaimed.

I pondered for a few seconds from what she told me and realized that she was right

"Okay I see your point then" I mentioned.

"Good now lets you take a break i'm sure your hungry, then after that we'll try this again so you can get more used to it.

"Sounds good I could literally eat a herd of buffalos". I exclaimed with my hand touching my stomach.

While walking off I noticed that Yubel was grunting like she was in pain

"mom are you okay"?

Yubel looked toward me "Im fine honey I just stepped on something sharp" she said with a hint of pain on her face "dont worry i'm fine"

"I shrugged it off believing it".


After running around in the cave for thirty-three times I was beyond exahausted not from just running around but tripping over so many rocks. But on the plus side I quickly grasped the technique of seeing in the dark, along the way I learned other new aspects of my magic. One technique was the dark phoenix knuckle where my fist is covered in darkness. Another technique was called the dark phoenix screech where I fired a dark stream of dark power from my mouth.

It took a few weeks to fully grasp these techniques along with others but I finally got the hang of them, and I was already feeling like a pro.


Days later

Yubel then brought me to what looked to be an old run down abandoned temple, it was big and it looked as if nobody had lived here for a long time. There were a lot of dead trees and a couple of moss covered statues, I wonder why Yubel chose this place for my training. After spacing out for a few minutes Yubel finally called me over to her.

"Alright Zodie now for today's training where going to be working on your combat skill."

"Combat skills, what for mom"?

"Well as you already know the world is filled with magic and tricks, but what if your in a situation where you cannot use your magic would'nt knowing how to fight be helpful."

I pondered a bit at what she told me and she was right. The world was unpredictable and I never knew when I would face some bodies magic that could nullify magic.

"Alright then mom i'm ready let's do this".

"Good but first lets make a change of scenery" Yubel said

She then spread her wings and the next thing I know the enviornment we were standing in were now dark shaded.

"Now for this session you'll need training partners" she said.

Yubel then spread her wings and a veil of dark magic emitted from her, the dark power then took the form of dark humanly figure, I was beyond amazed.

"This is what you will be training with I call it a silhouette soldier, now try attacking it". Yubel told me. "Also if your wondering about the change of scenery it provides more of a challenge".

I then took a fighting stance and covered my fist in shrouds of darkness and ran top speed at the silhouette soldier. I threw a punch but the silhouette blocked my fist and kicked me in my stomach making me drop to my knees. I grabbed my stomach in pain and backed away.

"Again" Yubel said

This time I run toward the silhouette this time with my leg shrouded in darkness, I jumped in the air hoping to get a kick in but the silhouette just swiftly brought it's leg up landing a devastating kick to my face sending me flying.

I landed flat on my face with a red foot mark imprinted on my cheek, I stood up and shook the dirt from my hair. This thing was tough I didn't know what I was going to do, when suddenly Yubel snapped me out of it.

"Zodie try to get into your opponents head and anticipate what they'll do next, you can do it I believe in you."

I then took her advice I breathed in and out a few times and cleared my mind, I started to run toward the silhouette again ready for an attack. I raised my fist ready for another punch while the silhouette was ready to block. Right before I swung my fist I shrouded my leg in darkness again, while the silhouette thought I was going for another kick I kicked up rock and shot it toward the silhouette's face.

The rock connected with its face throwing it off leaving me an opening to deliver a punch to the silhouette's face. After the punch connected the silhouette faded away.

"Alright I did it mom did you see that"?

"Well done Zodie that was most impressive but now let's make this more of a challenge."

I then see another silhouette soldiers this there's two of them both of them take fighting stances and charge toward me. This time im ready for them.

"Dark phoenix screeeeeeeech" I shouted.

I become launched in the air and then I drop down with a devastating kick.

"Dark Phoenix talon"

I deliver a powerful kick to one of the silhouette's destroying it while the second one tries to attack from behind. But I grabbed onto it's arm and swung it around before tossing it into the air. I then finish it off with another dark phoenix knuckle.

"Alright alright alright Alriggggght, come on mom bring in more" I said all fired up.

"As you wish my boy".

This time not one not two but eight silhouette's appeared before me they had me surrounded in a circle but I wasn't scared at all. The silhouette's then ran straight for me at the same time but I was expecting this I then spread my arms out preparing to attack.

"Dark Phoenix whirlwind" I shouted a powerful gust of darkness shot up sending about five silhouette's flying in the air. The remaining three came charging at me I blocked one's attack and threw it towards the second one knocking them both down. The third one then hits me with a punch but I counter it with a reversal uppercut destroying it.

Then the five I sent flying landed back on the ground and ran toward me. I charged toward them fist coated in darkness and threw a barrage of punches from right to left while evading their attacks and I managed to destroy them. After I defeated the silhouette's I was then knocked over.

I looked to my right and left I realized it was none-other than Yubel.

"Mom what was that for you didn't say i'd have to fight you" I complained.

"True but it's important for you to be aware of your surroundings you never know when another enemy could strike" she explained.

"Okay you'r right but still".

"Anyway that's enough for today you did pretty there's still some room for improvement's though, but you'll be a decent fighter in no time".

"Really"? I asked

"Gurantee" Yubel smiled at me.

I was so happy I ran up to Yubel and gave her a tight hug and she gently nuzzled me with her beak. After we were done Yubel then took us back to our cave where we had dinner and we played around a little. I was also doing a little painting with a painting kit Yubel got for me while back, I don't where she got it though but I didn't ask.

Yubel walked over to see what I was doing

"Zodie what is that your drawing"? Yubel asked

After I was finished I showed Yubel my painting it was a picture of her and me flying together but it was me with my own wings. She was very impressed.

"Zodie that's quite impressive and you got the color to my eyes the right shade" she said amazed.

"Thanks mom I drew this because I really really want to fly someday. Hey do you think that it's possible for me to do that"? I asked

"Hmmm maybe with a little training yes but it's a little to early to tell but when the time is right you'll learn, but in the mean time come on it's time for bed.

Yubel made her way up to her nest and I followed suit and I got comfy in her feathers. Before going to sleep I thought to myself "One day i'm going to fly" before finally going to sleep.


Yubels point of view

He's learning much faster than I thought that is good hopefully I wil be able to teach him to fly before my time is up because nobody else can teach him.


Another one bites the dust that's it for chapter 7 chapter 8 will soon be out. Again please me your review's they're a big help. Now your all proably wondering what is wrong with Yubel you'll have to wait and find out in later chapters til next time.
