Chapter 7 - Outfoxed The Fox

As i lay asleep my mind is calm and before i nee i was standing next to Widow she looked at me and we both sat down to talk i had questions but it looked like not even she had all the awnsers i was seeking i asked what that fox Armour requip thing was and she looked and explained she didnt have awnsers for all of it but she new some she points at the bracelet and the orb inside and says when i came here with you my power was scattered and the bracelet and orb are a part of that scattered power my powers have many different abiltys that fox Armour requip we did is just one of them but ill tell you this its no where near my strongest abilty and that abilty may be strong but you cant rely on it its hard to control and requires a ton of power and concentration to achieve we got lucky it activated when it did but with that form comes our dormant power to weild ice but it seems you cant do it without that form yet you must find a teacher who can help you learn ice magic i whould teach you but as i said my powers are scattered thus i cant but for now thats all i can tell you but if were to get stronger find more of the scattered items that hold my power and train your body in fighting styles and magics but for now lets get you up the day ahead of you has alot in store for you and your friends. and as i feel the shaking around my body i wake up to Jillian viciously shaking me to get up i tell her im up and she finaly lets go and i get dressed to go as we head downstairs the inn keep stops us and says i heard you all beat the pheonix dungeon does that mean you guys earned money we nod and then the inn keep laughs and hand me a bill he says i was fine with you staying here for free when you had nothing to your name but now you gotta pay up i hand him the amount due and tell him thank you for letting us stay here but we wont be back were heading to the next town and we will be stay there he nods as we leave and we make our way to the villige of pyre as we were walking were all talking about how we barely escaped yesterday and how lucky we were and we talked about it for so long we didn't relise we had made it to pyre as we relise were here we ask around to see if anyone knows were this fire teacher is but as soon as i ask people tense up and run off like i said something scary i keep asking around and everyone i talk to has the same reaction and runs off. after trying to figure out where to find this teacher someone comes up to me and says i here someones been looking for me as i turn around im face to face with the most firery red head ive ever seen i look at her hair which is currently on fire and proceed to ask are you the fire teacher i was told about and she says that depends on you are you the student im teaching? i tell her no but point at David and say hes the one who's in need of your training she looks at David then back at me and says oh bummer i was hoping i could play with you instead as she looks directly at me she says that i guess we know the fire aint just for looks as i try to ignore the blantent flirting she tossed at me she then walks over to david and examined him and says so you do have the attribute for fire who would have guessed she then starts to walk away and then looks back and asks are you guys coming. We then proceed to follow her back to her home which doubles as a training field as we walk in she has us sit down at a table she sits first then signals me to sit by her i say im fine but she insists and i give in and sit next to her as i do she starts asking me questions so child what do they call you i reply with my names Madi she replys with Madi that's a pretty name for a pretty girl i blush after hearing that but shrug it off she asks me are you single i reply with a hesitant yes as she says oh how surprising a beautiful girl like your self shoudent be alone how about you come stay with me i promise to keep you safe and give you a nice homecooked meal along with love you unconditionally. i blush not knowing what to say but before she can contuine David intervines stoping her flirting in its tracks and reminds her hes here to train not watch her make advances on me she sighs and says so whats your name buzz kill David says his name and then asks for hers she replys with they call her the queen of flames or Penelope for you as she winks at me David yells at her and says he over here she looks back at him and says ok first before i teach you anything you and your friends here have to prove you can at least hold your own in a battle meet me outside were youll be fighting me if any of you can beat me ill train what was your name. David replys back its David my name is David. Penelope says ah yes David ill train him if any of you can beat me we have a deal we all nod as we follow her outside to her arena as i walk out with Natalie and we look at each other and i say we should try the move we used on the spider overwhelm her she agrees as the queen of flames readys herself she says ill make this even easier if you guy's can even lay a hit on me with you wepons or fist you win magic doesent count even tho none of you have it as she says that the battle begin me and Natalie charge at her before getting hit with fire attacks shaped like a dragons tail i look up to see she using the fire to guard herself by transforming it into creatures as she make fire scorpions were all surrounded before we chould even blink she look at us and says what scared of little fire as david charges he stops mid attack and i can tell his still shook from when the pheonix burned him right as im about im about to again Jillian stops me showing im stepping in a trap as she points at the ground theres a button she has me step back as she shoots an arrow at it and i reveals a hole full of real scorpions i thank her as i yell at Penelope are you trying to kill us she replys oh no Madi i whoudent kill you your to precious but if i had to wound you and your friends with fire or scorpions to prove your team isnt ready for the enemys your going to face ill do what it takes her words hit like a knife as i realise this isnt a match to beat her its to prove we can hold our own as i realise that i start to get angry of how weak she thinks we are and as my blood boils my bracelet and pendent glow as fox Armour is activated Penelope looks at me and says well i wasent expecting a fusion user it wont change this outcome of you guys losing and leaving here as i hear that the ice starts to form in my hand as i say we may be weak but we can all get stronger we may be weak now but if help train David will be one step closer to our unified goal of breaking our limits and getting stronger together as i say that i use every ounce of anger and poor into an ice attack to take her down long enough to get a real hit on her as i give it everything i got she uses a fire attack and next thing you theres smoke throughout the entire arena thinking i got her i wait for the smoke to dissipate only to see the attack didnt hit everything i had done did nothing to her she was fine as i see that i collapsed realising im still not strong enough as that happens she stops the battle and David Jillian and Natalie come over to help me up as Penelope says i didnt want to hurt you all but i had to show you this world is tough and just because you have one victory doesent mean your always going to come out on top i want you to learn from this defeat and grow from it dont put yourself down when you lose take what you learn and use it as motivation to keep going and keep getting stronger because if you let one setback keep you down youll never reach your true potential as she helps me and my friends out she says to David i will train you but if you agree to train with me you will have to leave your friends for awhile and follow everything i say or i wont teach you the ways of fire magic David looks at us not wanting to leave but we say to him you meet back up with us eventually and youll be much stronger we will wait for you but if you want this you have to stay David nods and Penelope says alright we start tommorow morning youll stay here with me and train everyday till you master what i have to teach you. as were about to leave she looks at jillian and says you girl your name was Jillian right she nods i know a friend who teaches lightning a few towns over from here you should go there and tell her i sent you Jillian nods as we leave i look at david and say goodbye as we go to contuine our adventure as I'm about to leave Penelope hands me a stone she says it's a communicator it has her number along with the ability to store hundreds use it to keep in contact with her and david and with the many others that come along our journey and with that we leave as David's journey begins ours have much to go.
