    [font=times new roman][size=8]The sound of twigs crunching under the lynx's paws echoed across the forest as he made his way towards the familiar clearing where he trained his last apprentice. Of course it had grown a lot more since he had last been here, but it was still workable. Gliding through the long grass, he would perch himself on a lone tree. This would be his second apprentice, and hopefully he could see her make it to her warrior years.


    "Hm, what should I teach this child.." Evergreen wondered to himself as he took out his journal which included some of his signature fighting moves. He always enjoyed making every attack unique, and even name them so that he could remember the combinations. It had been far to long since he had taught anyone anything of value, so he was looking forwards to this experience. With one last glance at his book, he would wait patiently for Ama to arrive.

    excitement! that was all this little kiddo felt right now. with her wings hanging limp at her sides with the tips gracing the ground. a cheery smile coated her muzzle as she trotted over to greet her mentor. once spotting him her smile broadened and she quickened her pace. "Good evening sir!" the white canine greeted him and gave a polite dip of her head. eager to begin the female would speak again almost immediately after [color=white]"So what will we start with?"
    [hr][hr]

    [font=times new roman][size=8]Glancing down at the pup, he would offer her a kind smile. "Don't jump too far ahead. First we need to discuss your powers, and goals as a fighter." Evergreen said blandly before shifting into a laying position. "So let's begin with that. List your powers." The lynx would flick one of his ears with curiosity, knowing that he could work with little to no powers if necessary. It was helpful to know what he was working with though, so that's why he began with simple questions like that.

    giving a simple "Oh!" the canine would clear her throat before thinking for a second about her powers [color=white]"Ok um, I'm pretty sure I have Shape shifting, shrinking and growing, elemental powers, all of those conjuration things, molecule manip, super speed, teleportation, telepathy, ghost mode, super senses, and heat vision, im not sure if I have any others or not or if i'll get them but like."     giving a shrug while deciding it probably is best she doesn't rush into training no matter how badly she wants to, heck she still hasn't learned to fly when she's had wings her whole life, well, most of her life.
    [hr][hr]

    [font=times new roman][size=8]"That's a bit to work with. Alright, I think we can do. " He sighed, making sure to take note of what she had. Leaping down to the ground, the wild cat would focus his lens on the pup. "Next step is a spar. Use your powers to attack me, come at me with the intent to kill if that will help you." Evergreen said dully, knowing that whatever damage that was done could be fixed. How? Simple, time control. Though the power tired him out quickly, he could reverse aging and physical damage dealt to his body. Ama didn't know this however, and he had every intention to keep it that way.

    [color=white]"Oh! um well I guess so."     she didn't want to kill him or hurt him too badly but if he told her to she might as well. the canine lowered herself with her wings level with her spine, she wasn't used to most of her powers but she has read up how they work and how to use them. what would she do first? well, Ama would teleport behind ever and attempt to leap atop Evers back and perhaps even try to bite down in the back of his neck, she wouldn't use a whole lot of force but just enough to break the skin, if she couldn't get on his back she would teleport again this time on top of him and try the same thing.
    [hr][hr]

    [font=times new roman][size=8]Evergreen felt Ama's teeth sink in, and would quickly teleport away. Since the wound wasn't bleeding that much, he decided to leave it be. Narrowing his eyes on his desired target, he would part his jaws and aim to breath out a river of black fire which rushed at the child with every intention of burning her alive. However, he would also turn the surround grounds into quicksand in case she was fast enough to teleport away. The only catch to his attack was that if she was caught by the fire, it would dissolve before touching her. Evergreen just wanted to see if he could scare her before ending the fight.

    well, she was actually pretty scared now. though she hasn't learned a lot, including flying, is still able to boost herself into the air. jumping up then giving a couple strong flaps she was able to avoid the fake fire but now she was rather terrified. 'IS HE TRYING TO KIILL ME!?' she was rather wary now, and since she didn't know how to use her own elemental powers she wouldn't have been able to do anything to counter the attack. though with the ground being quick sand now and her descending towards it she teleported onto the branch of a tree and looked for the best way to return an attack. well, maybe it would be time to try using elemental powers. this is training after all. the white canine would attempt to send both a strong gust of wind, blowing down on top of Ever in an attempt to temporarily immobilize the older lynx, and bring up a box of earth around him and slowly begin to fill the box with water. she wouldn't leave him in there just long enough, since, she doesn't want to kill him even if she was told to.
    [hr][hr]

    [font=times new roman][size=8]Evergreen smirked, unsheathing his katana from it's holster. With a single stroke, he would slice through the wind attack with ease. However, the box did close around and water began to flood in. "She can use her elemental powers well, though she needs to think about those who have the same abilities." The lynx would slam his rear legs against the earth wall, shattering the box into pieces before teleporting a few yards back. Moving his sword in a circular motion, he would summon a dozen more that would levitate around him thanks to his own elemental abilities. Since he wasn't using this attack in it's full glory, the sword were not coated in poison or shrouded in electricity. They were simple blades crafted to bear the strongest of defenses. In the next moment, the swords were flying towards Ama at such speed that a normal eye could not focus on them clearly. However, much like his previous attack, the blades would stop an inch short of her skin if she failed to deflect them. He expected that she wouldn't be able to do this since she was still a child, and this required the ability to have perfect coordination to deflect twelve blades moving at such speed. Yet he also enjoyed being surprised, so he would do his best not to act cocky.

    when she had first seen the blades hovering around ever she was wary but once she noticed they had moved Ama immediately brought her wings up in front of her face, while bracing herself for the likely painful impact. though it never came. after waiting a second she peeked over her wings to see that just in front of her were the twelve blades that never made contact. [color=white]"I think, I lost."     she muttered as her icy blue eyes were still fixed on the katanas in front of her. at least now she knows he's not trying to kill her.
    [hr][hr]

    [font=times new roman][size=8]"Hope I didn't scare you too much." The lynx mused as the weapons disappeared. The spar had came to end, though he was impressed with the skills she already possessed. "The two moves I used on you are called The River's Wrath and a Dozen Swords of Hell. Corny, eh? Anyways, those were some difficult moves and I was impressed to see you dodge the first one. Your elementals are also coming along well." He would sheath his katana at this point since there was no longer any use for it, before sitting down and continuing. "However, powers can sometimes be useless. Some people are immune to certain powers, for example fire and electricity deal no damage to this body I posses. That's why I carry this on my back." He would gesture his paw towards his sword before placing it back on the ground. "So, what type of weapon would you like to wield? Of course it's up to you if you want to use one."

    gliding down towards the ground she gave a smile and a nod to Ever before seating herself to listen to what he had to say. [color=white]"Thank you sir, and I'm Actually pretty interested in some form of scythe."     she had been interested in the scythe because it has good reach, sharp of course, and hook onto things, and if she gets her paws on one able to hold she could carry it around with easy. Ama could even change the colors with some paint and finish if she ever wanted to. keeping her ears perked for anything else he might tell her, it was cool how he named his attacks, Rivers Wrath and a Dozen Swords of Hell sounded epic, she would probably pay attention for more things he might through at her.
    [hr][hr]

    [font=times new roman][size=8]"Scythe? Interesting choice. Lets see, will you be summoning the weapon or will you be carrying it around?" Evergreen murmured before conjuring three types of scythes, one single bladed, another double, and the final one was a simple, metal pole. "You don't have to choose from these either, they are simply examples. Anyways, while I'm bombarding you with questions, what element do you prefer the most?" He felt like the most annoying teacher, but he wanted to give her a weapon that she could fight with. This alone would make her a hard opponent, but that would be after she mastered using it. Flicking one of his ears, he would wait for her reply.

    "well I plan on carrying it with me and I was thinking of something similar to this, or, exactly like this." with that she conjured up a black and blue scythe, it has a hinge were the blade meets the grip and another just around the center of the handle, this way it could fold up and fit in some kind of sheath

    example

    she had been looking through multiple books with weapons in them, and this one really stuck out to her. [color=white]"As for the elements, probably air or maybe water. both are things im rather interested."
    [hr][hr]

    [font=times new roman][size=8]"Looks good. Alright, step two. Pick up your selected weapon and swing it a few times. See if you can fight easily with it in battle." Evergreen said as his example scythes dissolved. Ama sure chose a vicious looking weapon, and he had to admit that he was already proud of his apprentice. After a moment, he would unsheathe his katana and grip it's handle between his teeth. Electricity would begin to crackle around it as he channeled it through the metal. "Once you can swing it, focus your elemental powers into it. You mentioned wind? Well try to use the scythe to send out a gust of wind." He muttered through his own blade before returning it to his holster.

    nodding the canine would carefully grip the weapon, she already had a few ideas about what she could do with this but for now she would take it slowly to make sure everything is perfect. the weapon was a bit heavy but she's still somewhat young so as she grows it should be easier. raising her head and doing her best to keep the object still Ama moved it around as if there was some invisible dummy. so far she was rather happy with this, forming a smile, or, as much as she could while holding this deadly weapon in between her teeth. [color=white]"Do you have any pointers as to how I could some what. fuse my elemental powers into it."     she hadn't ever tried to put or fuse powers into an object, though, she was thinking of making so at times when she slashes the scythe it would be using wind as if it were extended, like a force, slicing through something.
    [hr][hr]

    [font=times new roman][size=8]"Depends on what you want to do with the wind. If it's making your blade sharper, then you have to do your best to imagine an outer layer of wind sharpened like the scythe. While picturing it, apply your powers. For me though, I use electricity which can be channeled through the metal in my sword. However, its almost like multitasking. Using your elementals to enforce your weapon." That was a lot of talking for Evergreen, but he was having a difficult time explaining. Fusing powers with a physical object is something that most have to figure out on their own. Each individual learns differently for this part, but he believed that she could get a hang of it. Sipping from his glass of wine, the lynx would offering a somewhat encouraging smile.

    pondering about hat he just said for a second Ama would put it into what she wants to happen. fixing her posture into a more steady and well balanced one. tightening her grip the female would use her powers to sort of wrap strips of air around her scythe before it was completely invisible. fixing her eyes on her target, a tree not to far off the white apprentice tilt her head and swiped downwards, this move had actually cut the tree in half, diagonally, and the top slide down before falling onto the floor. [color=white]"Well that was pretty cool."     she set down her weapon and moved her mouth around a bit, considering that was rather uncomfortable, she would just have to get used to it though.
    [hr][hr]

    [font=times new roman][size=8]"See? You're already getting the hang of it." Evergreen said before using his time control to reverse the damage done to the tree. "But sometimes a weapon alone isn't enough. So before I end this session, I offer you two options. The first one is I can teach you how to use the River's Wrath, second one is we can spend some time on making an original move of your own." Either way, the lynx didn't mind. He simply wanted to give her something else to practice besides swinging a scythe.

    [color=white]'Making one of my own sounds pretty cool."     she didn't quite know what she would want to make but there are all sorts of options for her, each of her powers could probably have there own or something along those lines. for now she would listen to what Evergreen would have to say next. maybe he could tell her how he made his attacks, then on her own time Ama could try perfecting it and find some of her own.
