‘I suppose you do.’ She murmurs in her mind towards Envix. Looking thoughtful at her as she starts flaring her wings and opening her mouth. Lengthening her teeth for just a moment that they seem more like fangs before loosing cohesion and shortening them in size. It seems to keep her mouth looking more solid at least. Well.. She did say she wanted to do well in the upcoming tournament, that means she as her friend should also help her out more she supposes. Picking up one of the sticks she is quick to call out, “Crunch Envix!” while throwing the stick in Envix’s direction. Envix snaps her head in the direction she heard the shout coming from, forming her wings quickly as she sees it might go over her head she flaps her wings in a quick motion to rise higher in the air, and with her mouth filled to the brim with teeth, she snaps at the stick before it could go through her. Willing it to snap into pieces as she focuses more density in her shadows at the mouth, sharpening the teeth and putting more and more pressure on it till it could clearly be heard that the stick snapped into pieces, and this time instead of spitting it out, she merely lets go of the density. It slips easily out of her grasp, falling to the ground.

Ten minutes later Envix seemed to get tired of holding herself in a certain way that screams she is a predator stalking prey, not even throwing more sticks and calling out for her to lunge at them seems to catch her interest to continue after a while with successfully snapping them up, and biting all of them into pieces. ‘I think we’ve practiced enough for now, maybe another day we’ll continue, there is still time for it after all.’ She says towards Envix, figuring it might be best to take a break from it, and continue at some other point should it be needed. ‘You sure?’ Envix says while raising her head up from the ground, her eyes glowing brighter as she opens them more then the narrow slits it had been before. ‘Yes I am sure, besides. With the way you start looking bored, I feel it might be best to do that for today.’ A bored Shadow Lurker like her isn’t exactly a good idea to keep boring when there is a large possibility she might end up trying to prank either her, or any of the other animals in her kennel. Slowly standing up, she dusts off her pants with her hands before making a motion with her hands. ‘Lets go.’ She says in her mind towards her companion, looking back only once to make certain she keeps following her

Since her last outing three weeks ago with Sev, a lot of things seems to have changed. One of the first things that did is the fact that he had entered not even three days later in his cocoon stage, and matured far more rapidly in his adult stage then she expected. She only had just enough time to teach him a couple of tricks and a move or two before it happened. The crystallized cocoon is a thing of wonder to see, but she is glad that Sev was able to come out of it just last night, and with the few hours of rest and pumping blood in his wings while drying off any excess liquids that came from the cocoon, she felt he was ready enough at midday to try some light training while it is warm. Supposedly the weather will get a bit colder again tomorrow, and depending on how cold it will be, she may either need to skip that day with being in the public park, or start early with training him in being able to handle cold weather. “C’mon Sev! We are almost at a good spot!” She calls out to her not so little companion anymore while tugging along her mining cart with some effort, packed full with equipment she might need and on the rather heavy side of weight. With Sev It still feels like something she needs to get used to with how huge a Vespa could naturally be. Most of the species she owns are actually genetically engineered and modified to be smaller, much smaller then Sev who is of a size where she could actually use him as a mount should she want to do so. It is certainly different, not bad, but just different in feeling for her. The buzzing of Sev’s wings as he flies after her from a short distance makes it easy to know he is still near her when she hears it as she reaches a large enough open spot in the small forest of the public park to count as a tiny meadow with the grass. *1 Twilight 0.1 Sev Lv 68.1, Ly 15.1

“Here should be good, definitely more private for training.” She muses, dropping the rope she used to pull the mining cart, she wrings her hand for a moment and shakes them out to relieve the stress. Afterwards taking a few steps closer to the mining cart, she is quick to open it and take out a shovel. While the grassy terrain is perfect, for what she needs to train Sev today, she can’t use the whole grassy terrain. Not if she wants everything to burn down. Walking away from both the cart and the tree’s, just enough that it won’t be a danger for flames to spread, she starts shoveling the grass away, wanting to make a large section be more dirt. The buzzing of Sev’s wings as he comes closer and slowly starts landing while she is busy getting rid of the grass makes her look up. Smiling at her companion as she sees the sunlight hitting his skin just right, and really making it shine like the gem his breed is named after. ‘This is going to take a little while Sev. Why don’t you rest for a little while? You haven’t gotten those wings for all that long after all.’ She muses towards him, seeing him perk up for a moment as he folds his wings behind his back, antennae twitching in front of him as he watches calmly.

She doesn’t hear him respond to her words, which she doesn’t expect him too all that much, but still, it would have been nice she supposes. Finishing up after a while with making a circle of dirt, she packs up the shovel and starts taking out rocks to encircle the hole. This part at least didn’t take nearly as long to get done compared to shoveling, and it still seems to interest Sev with what she is doing as he watches her curiously, coming closer when she places the last stone on it, he taps it while tilting his head at her. ‘Why this?’ He hears her say in a deeper tone then he used to have while in his worm phase. ‘To prevent fire from spreading’ She sends an image of tree’s burning down with it, startling Sev in making him spread his wings involuntarily. She supposes that is a normal reaction to it, she knows Sev has yet to experience anything to do with fire in his short live. Still, he will learn about it today, whether he wants to or not. Heading to the cart, she takes out the wood she had brought along as with it still being winter, the branches that are found on the ground are still likely wet and not very useable for the campfire she wants to make. Dropping each time a few planks of old wood and branches in the middle of the dirt, she stops when she feels it should be enough. A few drops of kerosine and a friction match to light it up, and it starts burning pleasantly.

‘That’s fire?’ She hears him say, coming closer to it. ‘Hé Sev! Don’t come closer! Follow.’ She is quick to instruct him when she starts seeing he want to place a front leg a little too close to the firepit now that its burning, making her nervous. Stepping away from the fire she is glad that Sev is reluctantly following her at least, antennae twitching in the direction of the fire. She has him stand close to the smoke, though not close enough to have him get irritated by it, she still remembers the incident with the lavender flowers a couple weeks ago. ‘Feels warm.’ She hears him say, making her grin. ‘That it does Sev, but it can easily burn you if you get to close. Stay.’ She responds to him, having him stay in just the right spot. Now.. How to do this? The campfire is made, and it starts smoking nicely in their direction, though, the smoke is still going more up then sideways for it to be irritating her eyes or nose with it. ‘Sev, can you flap your wings again, but like this?’ She questions, using her arms to have them flap from her back to the front. ‘I want you to aim for the fire, do it slowly.’ With how fast Sev can move his wings compared to Rayak, it would be a bad idea to have him go at it with the full speed. Plus, he still needs to get used to his wings, this would be a good exercise for him.

Sev looks a bit puzzled at the way she moved her arms, making him turn his head to look at his own wings as he unfolds them. ‘Like this? He responds hesitatingly, slowly moving his wings to get a feeling for the direction he is aiming at. It’s slow enough that the smoke isn’t even affected by it. ‘Yes, like that.’ She sends the images on how she sees him moving his wings to him, but then a little faster, imagining him moving the smoke away. ‘I want you to learn how to get rid of the smoke, get it away from us. It’s called Clarity.’ She says the last word slowly out loud as well, letting him get a feel for what it sounds like both in his head and out of it. With his head turned into her direction only long enough to stare at her curiously before his attention is focused on the campfire, he starts positioning his body a little better. Less relaxed, but more attentive as he moves his wings in such a motion that feels natural, though he isn’t quite aiming it all that well. The smoke still comes to their direction, wavering only slightly from side to side with the wind pattern he forms.

‘You’ll need to go at it a bit harder than this again, Sev.’ She calls out when after about two minutes, the smoke is still going in their direction, even with it seemingly swaying a bit away from their side. She still rather wants it to completely into a different direction. She sees Sev’s antennae twitch at her comment about his slow wing movements, something she does want him to do as he is still getting used to the new limbs. ‘Tell you what Sev, I did bring along some meat for you as a treat if your doing well. Work on this a bit harder, and you get a small piece.’ She pauses for a moment as she sees him literally perk up at the mention of treats, he knows that word better then meat, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t unaware of what meat is. She has started weaning him of partly from the bug diet now that he has grown, with the bugs not providing a quick enough energy boost to him with the size he is, and meat does. It is kind of obvious to her what he’ll need to consume the most at the end of day. ‘Each time I say Clarity to you, you do what we practice alright? And if you do it just hard enough to have the smoke revert in the complete opposite direction, you’ll get two slices instead of one little slice, yes?’ Maybe she should have started with that kind of an temptation from the start with how Sev reacts towards it.

Perking up, she sees Sev’s body tense as he moves his wings, rotating them to get a better feel of them for just a moment as the smoke heads their way. “Clarity Sev! Clarity!” She calls out when she feels that while he is properly motivated, he isn’t doing much to clear up the path. “Trii!” In response, the loud dark trilling sound of Sev takes her by surprise as he then moves his wings in such a way that has the smoke going in the other direction, but it also makes the flames of the campfire go higher. ‘Your doing good Sev! But a little softer! Or else we’ll risk a forest fire!’ She calls out to him quickly in her mind. The last thing she’d want to happen is exactly that kind of a scenario, and she sends him images of what she imagines that will be like at this place here. He flinches, stops buzzing his wings. “Clarity!” She calls out when she sees him do that. ‘Just go a little softer, aim above the fire a little more, not directly at the ground.’ She advises, and feels relieved when after a few practice runs, he does succeed in getting his aim above the fire.

Clapping with her hand when he is able to keep it up for at least thirty seconds catches his attention. ‘You did great Sev! Let’s take a little break! You’ve more then earned those slices of meat!’ She says in a cheerful tone, heading towards the mining cart, she hears behind her the rustling of grass as Sev walks after her. More than interested in getting some food. Opening the cart, she searches for the packed of meat, and a knife. It takes a little bit to find the knife, compared to the meat, as the knife was hidden under a couple of heavy cans she brought along. Opening the package, she slices the meat several times in small parts. Making sure they all are in the same size in the end. Picking up two pieces, she gives it too Sev who gobbles it up quickly, using one front leg to hold on to the other piece, she tidies up the knife and other supplies she moved, packaged the meat but kept under her left arm, and closed the lid of the mining cart. ‘Let’s try it again Sev!’ She’s certainly quite happy with his progress right now, and perhaps in another twenty minutes, she could mix things up with wing buff on the cans she brought with her.

With the treats being in sight, Sev is acting even more energetic as he stands in front of the direction the smoke is taking, knowing it is for a reason that he needs to do so. His head turned to look at her while his wings twitch. “Alright Sev-“ She calls out him name, but before she can give the command, Sev is quick to use his wings to change the direction of the smoke without her telling him it. “No Sev!” She calls out quickly when she sees him do that. Perhaps he is a bit too eager... She sighs in relieve when he hears her and stops, antennae twitching to the back of his head, much like a canine that knows they did something bad. ‘You wait for my command Sev, you’re going to battle one day and when you do, using a tactic too early could get you hurt or the wrong one. You need to listen to me Sev, alright?’ She wasn’t certain how much he could understand of her speech, but she hopes this might help encourage him. ‘Otherwise, no extra treats for you at home if you don’t wait for my command!’ She points at his face with her right hand, pretending to see him still in his worm phase that she is scolding, and not the overgrown wasp insect he has become in the short few weeks she has him.

Sev’s wings twitch as she pointed at him, but he kept silent, antennae still kept in place. She thinks he hopefully understood it now, or at least given even more motive to listen, but also listen better at what she wants him to do. He’s no larvae anymore, and with his size she can’t treat him like that either and not expect to get injured at some point if she does. “Trii…” Giving a slow nod to what is hopefully acceptance she hears him say, she points back at the campfire. “Now Sev..” She pauses for a moment, checking to see if he waits on her word. His wings twitch as he turns his attention back to the smoke, but his head turns towards it and back to her when she waits a bit longer. Smiling, she says. “Clarity!” And calls it out in his mind as well, wanting him to familiarize with the word. Within a few seconds, he has his wings moving and blowing the smoke in the other direction, neither too slow that the smoke just goes to the side, nor to fast and hard that they risk fire spreading on the grass should it go out of bounds from the circle of stones she made surrounding it.

The next fifteen minutes she keeps repeating it with him, throwing the word clarity around as if it is free candy, and making him pause every thirty or forty seconds as she doubts something like clarity needs to be kept up continuously. Battles tend to end somewhere within the ten minutes usually, and hardly do they ever last longer than that unless both sides have enough toughness and endurance to last that long in the first place. She is sure to reward Sev with the meat pieces she had cut up for him when he stops after every good try that shows consistence with the speed he keeps the wind blowing. “Alright Sev!” She says when giving him the last treat for now, and making him look up at her face. ‘We are going to mix things up now, I think you are doing great with Clarity, your very consistent now in how much speed you need to use to blow the smoke in the other direction. So now I want to teach you something else.’ She doesn’t continue on with her speech, rather, she walks back to the mining cart. ‘Give me a moment to set things up again for you Sev.’ She calls out to him in her mind as she hears with the rustling of the grass and a stuttering trill from his mouth that he gets closer.

Setting the cans a distance away from the campfire and mining cart in a neat line, she hopes this will work, each can is at least five pounds heavy, with two twice over that weight, and another weighting twenty pounds give or take. Out of the seven cans, its very easy to see which are the ones on the heavier side due to the sizes being wildly different from the last three, each one though is filled with sand and not liquid. Should it break, it will also get a nice effect with the bursts of wind she hopes Sev will be able to produce. Going back only one more time to the mining cart to cut up meat into little pieces and packaging it to bring along with her, she drops it in the grass, about midway between the cans and mining cart, and certainly keeps her back to the campfire. “Okay Sev.” She claps to get his attention as she noticed he was staring at the package of meat pieces on the ground, gaining his attention. ‘C’mere Sev, for this new move we will be practicing, I don’t want you to be near the fire.’ She comments, waving him to be close, but not too close to have a chance that she herself would get hit with his wings when he walks near her. ‘See those cans in the distance? I want you to use Clarity on them, but push yourself harder in making those cans move. The actually move is called-’ “Wing Buff!” ‘But, it works similar enough.’ By technique it certainly has enough similarity to it. Only with Clarity it doesn’t need to actually cause focused damage on a single target, just shift gasses, sand, mist and other similar forms that float in the air and can impede vision or breath away from the one using the move.

‘Understood then Sev?’ She questions as she points towards the metal cans, Sev’s head lifted away from the meat package on the ground, to where she points at, his antennae perking up, she can practically see him calculating as his wings twitch. She steps back at that, it still feels like she might be a little too close to it, and quickly grabs the package from the ground. ‘Blow away!’ She hears Sev trill back at her in his darker pitch at the end, face turned towards the cans as he shifts his body in position. ‘Okay than! Do it! Use your wings to blast the wind forward and focus on a single target to take out!’ She cheers as she sees him get ready, first doing the motion with his wings slowly, like with Clarity, but as Sev started noticing a few seconds in that it doesn’t even make the cans shift a little, he starts building up in the speed and force of his wings. “You’re doing great Sev!” She encourages him. The cans might not have moved yet, as he seems to figure out how to blast air to one target, but he’s getting there, slowly but surely!
