Trainning begins now.

["Cosmos"]

running at her pupil, Vulpini began to launch a flurry of strikes at the dragoness. as her movements turned into a blur of her weapons and arms, she watched carefully at how Trish endured and made it through her attacks.

[Ixion]

Using her keen eyesight she moved the sticks to parry the attacks her hands going numb each hit but she kept blocking the faster attacks.

["Cosmos"]

seeing the tell-tale signs of the numbing of the hands from the strikes, Vulpini spun around. clipping the axe around her ankle, she tripped Trish, making her lose her balance. slamming the sword into the ground next to her head, she breathed deeply several times as her body calmed down.

[Ixion]

She panted as she laid on the ground staring up at her trainer both her hands still grasped onto the bamboo sticks he hands completely numb and unresponsive.

["Cosmos"]

helping her release her grip on the training swords, Vulpini then grabbed Trish's tail. dragging her to the river, she yanked her into the water. "this is the reason i said to not wear clothing," Vulpini said, as she walked into the cool water. sitting against the bank, she heard the cheerful sounds of her pups as she turned her head. watching them jump in over them, she giggled as she watched her children cannonball into the water.

[Ixion]

She floated at the top of the water and smiled feeling the cool refreshing water lap against her body almost nodding off "This actually feels good"

["Cosmos"]

"yeah, the cool water is good for the straining of the body after training. though i must warn you, this was barely a fraction of the severity of the training. its only going to get harder from here on out," Vulpini said, as she laid her head back against the bank. swimming up to their mother, she smiled to her children.

[Ixion]

She nodded "I figured as much" her mind drifted to her dreams and then she looked to Vulpini "Did you figure out how to activate the new Thunder-forge?" she asked knowing they tried to use a lightning rod to capture thunder from the storm the other day but that had failed.

["Cosmos"]

letting out a sigh, she shook her head. "i haven't yet. i reread the scrolls and documents, but could find no way to activate it. i did read something though on 'Arcane', but it didn't pertain to the forge creation," Vulpini said, as one of her daughts swam over to her after being splashed by her sister.

[Ixion]

She began to think more deeply "Perhaps..." she said trailing off. She wondered if her Auntie would know what she was thinking and able to confirm it but then she thought it absurd but possible.

["Cosmos"]

smiling at her children, she splashed her daughter. swimming out to them, she began to play with them.

[Ixion]

She turned and sat on a small rock half submerged to her neck. Holding her fingers together she let her mind wonder touching out to Zharitana's in hopes that she was in the mood to talk.

["Cosmos"]

as she played with her children, Vulpini left Trish to her own. picking up her son, she threw him into the water with a laugh.

as she slept, Zhatriana felt the touch of Trish's mind. waking up in another foul mood, she telepathically snapped her jaws at her. sleepily walking off the bed, she moved over to a crystal formation that she had started to grow. breaking off a large shard, she infused it with her arcane energy. 'don't disturb me again at this hour, unless its important,' she said, as she threw the shard into a portal. returning to the bed, she laid down and fell right back to sleep.

as a small portal opened above the dragoness, the shard dropped into the water in front of Trish.

[Ixion]

Picking up the crystal she growled and reached out to her agian, this time showing her images of a the big dragon from her dreams that had thunder shooting across it's scales and the letter she had discovered emphasizing the Primal Dragon part.

["Cosmos"]

blocking her mind, Zhatriana already had received the images. returning to deep sleep, she had already planned to delve into what she wanted, but later.

turning her gaze just slightly when she heard the dragoness growl, Vulpini asked, "your aunt in another mood?"
