After awhile everyone had gathered in the dojo room besides Cindy's sister who was asleep in her and Cindy's room before Sam stood up and said as he took out the two spears he had made and threw them to the Olson brothers
"Brother Phil and brother Harry in a moment I will test your new abilities in front of the others with a sparring match now who will go first?"
Phill was the first to say as he grew out his draconian form and held onto the spear
"Master stone, I will go first and I don't intend to go down easy"
Sam smiled as he felt Phil's confidence and courage and said as he too grew his full draconian form
"I hoped you wouldn't
As Sam's skin and scales turned grey phill felt every bit of his body freeze up a little before phill used his tail to try and hit Sam however it was far too slow to hit Sam as he easily flew above it before phill used his spear to stab at where Sam was before he got out of the way and said as he punched phill in the stomach making him stagger back a bit
"You used your tail to cover your attack with the spear, did you perhaps train with your brother before you joined the faction?"
Phill smiled and said as he held a hand over his stomach where he was hit as there was a ginormous bruise
"Indeed, me and my brother trained together since we were little and we both had the hobby of making weapons such as daggers hammers swords and spears as well"
Sam smiled before he retracted his wings and ran up to attack Phill while dodging Phil's spear as he stabbed the dojos floor yelling
"
Sam had begun to feel the ground shaking violently before it felt as if an earthquake had struck the temple
Sam quickly grew his wings and took to the sky's again and said as he saw everything shake violently while everyone besides phill and harry have trouble standing
"Hmm interesting, you can cause a tremor with that little skill of yours very good but I'll show you all something just as good"
Sam closed his eyes and started to picture a fire that never goes out and that was brighter then the sun before he opened his eyes and yelled
"
The air in the dojo had risen to a point where it would be cooler in a desert before Sam spewed a radiant ball of fire the size of a recking ball at phill causing a mighty explosion of flames to erupt and once the flames disappeared phill was lying on the ground in his human form with burn marks over his body while the others were on their hands and knee's drenched in sweat Sam landed on the ground and walked over to phill and said
"You did well, we will continue in 30 minutes so go to the healing pool and get some new clothes on"
Phil picked himself off the ground and nodded before he started limping off to the healing pool while Sam said as he looked to the others
"That was the skill
Mary was drenched in sweat as she asked while the scorch marks in the dojo faded away and the room temperature began to settle down again
"Master stone. Why is the training so brutal?"
Sam pulled out the
"This land is covered with Draconic creatures and as I said before the training will be hard but I will do all I can to train you all into Draconic warriors now while we wait for phill to return I will explain the creature you see now"
Sam began to teach and show Mary and the others the dangers of a Drake but also it's most vulnerable area before Ruth raised her hand and said
"Master, if we are going to face such challenges ahead then wouldn't it be wise to recruit more people for the clan?"
Sam nodded and said as phill had entered the dojo wearing new clothes and not a single wound from the
"I will have more Recruits join us when I deem it to be so don't worry and focus on your training"
Phill walked up and said as he rubbed the back of his head
"When I entered that pool I was covered in burn marks and after just a short bath in the pool their all gone"
Everyone besides Sam stared at phill to see was was completely healed and were shocked beyond measure as phill would've had those wounds forever if not for the healing pool
Sam waited for the group to stop talking before looking at harry and saying as he grew out his claws
"Now for our spar but don't worry as if you get hurt I'll ask your brother to throw you into the pool to heal yourself"
Harry didn't picture him leaving the dojo without fighting Sam so just like his brother he shifted to his Draconian form and said as he stood where his brother was before as he said while going on all four
"I won't disappoint my brother by going easy on you"
Sam saw Harry's stance and wonder what had plans before harry growled at Sam revealing that his teeth had changed as well before Sam grew his wings and said as he flew a few feet off the ground
"Let's dance!"
Almost instantaneously harry jumped up higher then Sam and tried to grab Sam however Sam was too agile for Harry to catch as Sam did a flip and grabbed Harry's leg before Sam slammed him into the ground where he proceeded into a brutal attack with multiple punches hitting Harry's stomach before Harry retaliated with a punch to Sam's face before Sam backed away a few feet and said to himself as his jaw became sore from the punch
'Despite his size he is much faster then his brother and the force of that punch was quite strong'
Sam smiled and said as he retracted his wings before his skin and scales turned grey
"Let's see what you got!
Harry let out another growl before yelling as his skin and scales started to fall off bit by bit
"I will not lose!
Sam didn't know the effect of Harry's skill so he stood his ground before he saw Harry disappear with a blink of an eye before he appeared right in front of him
Sam raised his arms and blocked a punch from Harry and expected it to be stronger before Sam had a theory about Harry's ability and said to himself as he kept blocking punch's and retaliating with a few of his own only to miss due to Harry's incredible speeds
'Seems he sheds like a snake and gains incredible speed in exchange for his strength, I'm even having trouble finding an opening however this effect can't be forever as I feel him getting slower and slower with each punch'
After a few minutes Harry's speed slowed down to where everyone could clearly see him again before Sam grabbed both of his arms and said before he kneed Harry to the jaw sending him flying into the ceiling
"This fights over but you did very well"
Phil and the others looked at Harry in the ceiling before Sam flew up and grabbed Harry and said as he handed Harry to phill
"He did well and even surprised me a little now go and toss him in the healing pool and wait by the forging area for me"
Phill nodded and ran straight to the healing pool while Sam looked at the others and said
"As you saw with our fights you all have great potential but first you have to know your limits so for the next few hours I want you to focus on your transformation process as you will need the full power of your Draconian element while I go and teach the Olson brothers how to use the Dragon forge"
Everyone looked at Sam while he walked away to the forging area and once he was gone Jim said as he laid on his back
"The power he holds is monstrous during his fight with Harry I couldn't even see him while he was fighting the master yet for him it seemed like he was having fun"
Mary's hands started shaking as a single thought occupied her mind
'He can help me reach my goals I can finally achieve my goals'
Cindy said before she grew out her three tail stingers
"I think we should try our best to follow the master as he as been kind to us and has asked for nothing more than to follow him"
Ruth looked up at the ceiling where Harry was and said as the hole started to disappear
"This place is weird but fortunately for me I'm used to it"
Jim laughed a little and said as he had a tear in his eye
"Oh yeah remember back in school everyone called you the Loner of brickstreet high oh man those were the days"
Ruth gave Jim a cold look and pulled out a sword from behind her back causing everyone to be confused before Jim stared at Ruth for a moment before he started running away as Ruth started to chase him with her sword
Everyone looked at the two running around and around before Cindy's little sister came through the dojo doorway and said as she carried a backpack full of snacks
"Umm anyone want a snack? I packed them before I left with my big sis"
Cindy walked over and said as she picked her sister up
"Sammy, you can't be here it's not safe"
Samantha started to tear up a little as she said
"But big sis I don't want to be alone"
Cindy let out a sigh and said as he looked at the others then at her sister
"Sammy this isn't the playground okay you could get hurt so just head back to the dorm and wait for me"
Just then Sam entered the dojo and said as he looked at Samantha and then the others
"What's going on here? And why is Ruth chasing Jim around with a sword?"
Cindy turned to Sam and backed up a little and said
"Master u-umm my sister was lonely and came to the dojo so May I have some time with my sister?"
Sam looked at Samantha and came up with a brilliant idea and said
"Why don't you and I go make lunch while your sister and the others train"
Samantha smiled and said
"I wanna cook! I wanna cook!"
Sam chuckled and said as he looked at Cindy and the others
"Okay me and little Samantha are going to prepare supper while you all continue training so keep at it till I send little Sammy for you all but make sure to bring the Olson brothers who are training their forging skills"
Cindy stepped forward and said to Samantha before she and Sam left for the cafeteria
"Be good Sammy for the master and do what he tells you"
Sammy was waving and said as she and Sam made out of the dojo
"I will big sis! Bye bye now"
As sam and Samantha were walking through the hallway Sam asked Samantha
"If you want from now on I will let you help with preparing the meals you and the others will eat but I will be there to help with them"
Samantha nodded and said with a smile on her face
"I want to help cook! But can I stop at my sisters room, I have to pick up my cooking gear"
Sam nodded and set down Samantha at the dorms before she ran into her and her sisters room and moments later came out wearing a chef jacket with a chef hat along with a stool and a small case in her hands and said as she looked at Sam who was confused by Samantha's appearance
"I'm ready to cook now"
Sam nodded and picked Samantha up again and said as they continued on their way to the cafeteria
"Do you cook with your sister often?"
Samantha looked saddened before she said as they were climbing up the stairs
"No I had to learn how to cook myself as my sister was rarely home as she had to work so often"
Sam smiled and said as they reached the cafeteria
"Don't worry about that anymore as I'll make sure she'll get to see you more often now let's get cooking"
Samantha smiled and ran to the back area where the stoves were and started looking all over the kitchen while she said as if she was in a candy shop
"Mister is very organized with the kitchen… oh you have so many types of seasonings and fresh herbs… umm what are we cooking for dinner?"
Sam smiled and said to Samantha
"I'll let you decide chef so what do you want to cook?"
Samantha's eyes widened with joy before she took out a piece of paper from her pocket and said as she handed it over to Sam
"Let's cook my speciality called Sammy Surprise first I'll need these ingredients"
Sam laughed a little before he saw the list of ingredients and said as Samantha propped up her stool for her to reach the countertop and placed her small case to the side
"What is the 'Sammy Surprise'?"
Samantha opened her small case to reveal a pair of top of the line chef knives and said as she began to sharpen them at incredible speeds for a girl her age as she looked to be in preschool
"It's a stir fry"
Sam was shocked by Samantha's precision and hand coordination as she handled the chef knives with ease before he collected all the ingredients from the list as well as some Drake meat for Samantha to use and once everything was gathered Samantha's eyes were wide open as she started inspecting the ingredients that Sam had collected before she said with joy
"I've never worked with ingredients this fresh, I won't waste a single ingredient!"
Sam was worried that it would be to much for Sammy to take on alone and put on an apron but was stopped by Samantha saying
"No! I want you to taste my stir fry first so turn around! No peeking!"
Sam signed and sat down before he closed his eyes and turned around and said to himself as he heard the sound of a knife hitting a cutting board
'Your the Dragon master yet your listening to a little girl? Well let's see how the food will taste"
After nearly ten minutes Samantha hopped down from her stool carrying a bowl of stir fry over her head and said as she was beside sam
"Here you go! I hope you like it"
Sam looked down and saw a bowl of stir fry over Samantha's head and said as he picked up the bowl before he lifted Samantha onto the stool next to him
"Bon Appetite"
However once Sam put a spoonful of the food in his mouth it felt like he was in heaven as this bowl of stir fry was by far the best meal he had ever had and yet he couldn't believe Samantha had made it by herself before he finished the bowl in seconds and said as he looked at Samantha and patted her head
"Where did you learn to cook such a great dish, it was so good"
Samantha smiled and said as she went back to her stool where she proceeded to show Sam cooking skills of some of the best in the world with zero mistakes
"I made this recipe myself along with a few others as well"
For the next hour Sam kept watching Samantha make the stir fry with zero mistakes while showing in her cooking years of experience as if she grew up with a world class chef before nearly 4 dozen bowls of stir fry were set on the table in the dining area
Once Samantha came out of the kitchen she looked up and Sam who was shocked by the fact that a preschooler cooked all this food and said
"Can I go get my sister and the others?"
Sam stared at the food and nodded before Samantha ran off full of energy yelling as loud as she could
"DINNERS DONE!"
Sam took a quick look back at the stoves and countertops to find that they were spotless and said to himself as he looked back at the table packed with food
"Is she really self taught? That is impossible… isn't it?"
