@tdat
should we describe our training?
and also, I'm not completely clear on what we decided my power is.

Please answer, when you get back!

Halgea left with her new mentor. She liked this dragon. Quiet and soft spoken, yet strong and powerful.

Edit:
Kyra, Shneel , and Nala flew to the Swamp Lands where the vines swayed, and the water was still and murky.Nala looked at me with Disapline <Shall we begin training?&gt;I looked at Shneel, <yes we Shall.>Then stricktly Nala said <first we will teach u to listen to the water and its movements.Then we will start learning how to move water with our own Physical movements, then mentally controll it. then we will move on to the sky.>Kyra nodded.*Concentrate, Focus*She said in her mind.After an Hour Nala stopped her.<let's move on.Make a wave or Ripple still concentrating on the waters movements.>It took half an Hour but she finally got it making the biggest wave she knew possible.<good.Now move it twords me but make it ice shards.>Kyra stared in shock.<but wont that hurt u?&gt;Nala laughed<No.in training we are imune to trainees attacks.><o ok then here's goes nothing.>Kyra did as Nala told her to and it only took her another half hour to get it rite.<good.Now Lets go to the sky for ur next lessons.>they went to the garden and flew straight up 500 feet in the air past the clouds

Aqueda followed Master Disalaun into the canyon. <What do we do here?&gt; she asked.
<Do you see that patch of ivy?&gt; the Master queried.
<Yes.>
<Become something that can make it grow to cover the wall.>
Aqueda turned into an earth dragon, and strained hard, thinking, GROW GROW GROW GROW GROW, but the plant only grew a foot or so - and in the wrong direction. <Keep practicing,> Disalaun told her. After about three more times, she finally made the ivy cover the wall. <Good,> the Master commented, and told Aqueda, <Normally, you will not be able to turn back until sunset, and then until dawn. However, for the purposes of training, these three places we will travel to allow you to transform as many times as you want. Now, we will go to the Disappearing Cliffs.>

Once at the Cliffs, Aqueda was told to become an invisible dragon. <All you must do here,> the Master told her, <is go over the cliff and fly around, and get used to not being able to see yourself.> It was freaky at first, but Aqueda soon learned to not look at herself. <Are you scared of this?&gt; her mentor asked, looking around.
<Not anymore.>
<Then we will now go to the Rocky Mountain.>

Halgea went to her mentor waiting for instructions. Her mentor stared at her. <Are we going to start or not?&gt; Halli asked. <Show me what ya got.>
Halli concentrated on creating a flower. An ugly, smelly, horrid plant appeared. As she got more flustered more appeared and finally, with all the concentration she could muster she created a beautiful, magnolia bush. Soon she created a garden full of beautiful, lilies, magnolias, lilacs, willows, elms, birches, fruit, the stinky flowers turned into beautiful, blood red, rose looking flowers. <You are growing confident. This is good and bad. You may lose your concentration. Try more. Get better. Try to go to your highest expectation. You can do this. Right now.>
<Haven't I worked hard enough today?&gt; <You can never work too much.> He taught her battle and socialization with others and sent her to a barren waste land. Halli's distaste for this land was clear. <Fix it up for yourself. Please.> He then left.

@tdat
I am editing my previous post with my training info, but I can't think of anything to do on the Rocky Mountain!

tdat • 21 August 2011 at 10:27 AM

hhhmmmmm how bout u practice battle techneiks?for wen our powers are weak? @isablah i love urs its amazeing!!❤️

cqpkytty • 21 August 2011 at 10:29 AM

@tdat
OK! thanks!

At the Rocky Mountain, Master Disalaun told Aqueda, <Here you will practice your fighting,> and sprang upon her in attack. Aqueda flailed around at first, then realized that wasn't going to get her anywhere. So she began aiming for weak spots, like the belly and joints, and soon had the advantage. <Good job,> her master replied, stopping the battle. <That was enough for one day. We will continue tomorrow.>

Aqueda returned to camp. <That...was...AMAZING!!! I can't wait for tomorrow!>


(I ran out of room so I continued on this post.)

The dragon led Sylpha to a small mountain range. They landed by a lake. The water was still, not a single ripple in it.
<To handle your powers, I would like you to meditate.>
<Uh, I'm no good at meditating.>
<Then focus on the stillness of the lake.>
<Okay.> Sylpha took a deep breath and looked at the lake. It's stillness holding her mind. It's so peaceful. The water ripple, as if disturbed by her thoughts. Uh oh, I'm thinking... The water became even more disturbed, many ripples moving.
<Try again.>
Sylpha focused and calmed down, soon the water was as still as ever.
<Now, let go into your instincts.>
<Huh?&gt; Sylpha was distracted by his voice and the lake shook.
<Try again, but just, let go, don't think, don't act, just calm down. Your powers will eventually come to you.>
<Okay,> Sylpha took deep breaths and stared into the lake. Eventually, her vision blurred and went unfocused. Slowly, her reflection melted and disappeared. WOAH! The surface rippled again and she saw her reflection, clear as daylight.

@meixiaotian
awesome training!!!!!!!!!!

meixiaotian • 21 August 2011 at 5:40 PM

<Keep trying. I need to go and plan with our leaders. Don't stop.>
<Okay.> Sylpha concentrated again. After a few tries, her eyes drooped and closed. Suddenly, she saw the lake. Exactly how it was. Cool!! The surface shook again and she cooled down again.
After a while, she could do it easily, the peace filling her mind, and sit for an hour invisible.
Pantanees came back after a while. <I see the lake has filled you with its magic.>
<Huh?&gt; This time, when she spoke, nothing happened in the lake.
<You can now always see the lake, whatever happens. Now, follow me.>
<Okay,> The surface rippled again. Sylpha flew after the puple dragon, feeling confused. He led her to a secluded meadow in a forest.
<Relax, see the lake, send it your thoughts. But this is different. You must listen to the forest, submerse yourself in their thoughts. Today, you are to listen.>
<Okay.> Sylpha relaxed again.

isablah • 21 August 2011 at 5:48 PM

Halli first added a hedge. Then she made a line of lilacs next to it, with magnolias and lilies and willows she made the wasteland lush with life. Soon she made a soft bed of roots with a hammock made of soft grass as well as the roots. It was idilyc. Paradise.

meixiaotian • 21 August 2011 at 6:10 PM

The sounds flew around. Sylph felt a bit rushed, but remembered what she did before and relaxed. Soon, the sounds of rustling leaves, clicking claws on trees, chirping birds, and the occasional doe faded into the backround.
<The battle is coming,> Fear. The voices of the forest swayed her. They talked endlessly at each other. Sylpha listened for hours, thoughts keeping the lake as smooth and flat as possible.

sorry about the <A> s. must be a glitch

tdat • 21 August 2011 at 6:48 PM

tdat • 21 August 2011 at 6:56 PM

almost done......

meixiaotian • 21 August 2011 at 7:03 PM

<Good. Try to send out your thoughts, not to the lake, but to the creatures. Try that wolf.>
Sylpha thought, <Hello>, directing it to the wolf. She heard confusion.
<Good enough. Follow me for the rest of today's training.>
Sylpha was led to a barren area of the forest, all the trees were burnedto a crisp.
<Now, for the battle training.>

tdat • 21 August 2011 at 7:47 PM

.<ok now throw the IceShards at me.><but theres no water and i dont think i can take the water down there from up here.><Rong again.u can find water anywhere.>She spun around and a cloud dissappered leaving a ball of water in her Paws<Clouds ARE water>Kyra was mistified<wow.>then she did what she did but instead made the water lunge twords her and freeze into pinpoint daggers.<good now since u are electric make it rain then thunder storm with lightning.>Kyra to a deep breath<I'm ready.>I focused on water and clouds and putting them together, and then it happened rain thunder lightning<Hail.>Kyra looked over<what?&gt;Nala reapeated <make it hail.>She did.

meixiaotian • 21 August 2011 at 7:52 PM

<Now, we try not to fight as much as others, often focusing more on strengthening our minds more than our bodies, but now, we have no choice.>
Sylpha launched herself at him.

tdat • 21 August 2011 at 7:59 PM

Kyra was the 1st one done so she started to make it rain so she could get a drink<hm its so conveinyent being a water dragon.>

cqpkytty • 21 August 2011 at 8:09 PM

@tdat
Could Kyra not recognize Aqueda and attack?

Aqueda arrived back at camp. She had had fun on the way back, rapidly changing into each type of dragon at first. However, she had passed the boundary of where she had unlimited transformations, and was now stuck as a darkfire dragon. (black and red, gigantic, a firebreather, generally evil)

meixiaotian • 22 August 2011 at 10:31 AM

He swerved and scratched her side. OW!
<Stay calm, focused, always look at it from a third person view.>
Sylpha smacked her tail into his and intertwined them, then she turned around, fast as a whip.
<Never play a move towards a better player in which there is no gain, or there is a chance for their gain.> He twisted his tail away, dragging hers in the process, then he lunged. Sylpha ducked and was met by his head, stopped straight before her. She took out a talon and held it under his neck. Suddenly, he whacked her with his tail, and soon, his claw was under her neck. She backed up and flew up high. They battled in the clouds until he had her. He slit his claws under her.
<When we train, we replace our claws for the finishing move. Your opponent could always have a trick.>
<Okay.> They flew back quietly.

isablah • 22 August 2011 at 10:32 AM

<Good...> said her mentor from behind her, <Soon you will be able to go to moving rocks and other earth. Come with me. We shall start with pebbles.> They made their way to a brook. <Concentrate on the pebble. It is the only thing in the world and you want to move it.> Halli did so. It lifted and wavered- and smacked her in the face. Hard.

meixiaotian • 22 August 2011 at 10:33 AM

Sylpha landed in camp, meeting Minre, and, of course, took a nap.

isablah • 22 August 2011 at 10:41 AM

She growled. It hit her harder.

meixiaotian • 22 August 2011 at 10:45 AM

<Ow. Oh man, OW!> Sylpha was dreaming about being a rock that was being hit with a dragonhead. <OW!>

isablah • 22 August 2011 at 10:51 AM

Finally she got it right and gently moved it to the right.

meixiaotian • 22 August 2011 at 10:55 AM

<HELP!!! ANYONE!!! I'M GONNA FAALLLL!!>
Smack!
<ow>
Sylpha woke up, the thoughts still coming. I'm listening to a rock. wow.

isablah • 22 August 2011 at 10:59 AM

Halli loved this! She made an arch and built a wall.
