Chapter 4 - Test of strength

Jiro's and Krog's eyes meet mine

Let's go somewhere we won't

disturb anyone. With a thought and flash of white light, I teleport myself Krog and

Jiro to a forrest clearing. I take a deep breath, thei air tense and dry. i could feel an uneasiness coming from Jiro and krog. Jiro, she is a very skilled swordsman who was captured whilsttry to steal from the ancient scroll of destructionTimoiud told me Krog was just a boy when he was brought to Timoiud's castle by people that lived far above the mountains, they pleaded for a cure, and Timoiud offered them to take in the boy to help as much he could. "You,Jiro, were wary cause you didn't feel confident in my skills, and you, Krog, felt reluctant for the

same reason, correct?" Both nod,

then come at me both of you,

and I will defeat you without using

my time powers." Jiro and Krog

smile.. a bright purple energy

starting to come from Jiro. Red

bolts of energy flying from Krog,

destroying the ground around him. he was starting to transform into his beast form, Timoiud had trained him to control his power and explained that his rage fuels his power.

"Yes, come at me with everything

you've learned up to this point!"

Jiro places her hand on her sword purple bolts of energy emanating from her sheath, her eyes glowing a bright amethyst,

gets into a ready stance. Krogs

transformation was complete as he shifted into a towering beast-man, his muscles bulging, and his teeth bared.

You focus your attention on the

two warriors as they charge at

you, Jiro wielding her sword and

Krog is using his brute strength. Krogs claws come inch of my face, I look behind me slightly and notice that Jiro had made her way behind me. She draws her blade with lightning-fast reaction, causing a loud crack as she swung it through the air. A faint purple glow followed her blade, I managed to slip in between their improvised coordinated attack at the last second, dodging effortlessly, and I raised my leg and landed a powerful counter attack on Krog sending him to the ground. Jiro tried to stab me from above, I flipped forward as her blade slipped past my face. I grabbed her wrist and face as I slammed her to the ground, I heard a deep growl from Krog as he was recovering, " YOU WONT MAKE A FOOL OF ME!" Krog snarled. He charged forward, this time much faster than before. He came in using the momentum he managed to grab Jiro and throw her at me, "MAKE AN OPENING! I'LL TEAR HIM APART!" Krog screamed. Jiro was flying through the air like a shooting star, burning a bright purple. She was attacking rapidly, alternating between slashing and piercing techniques, I was just barely dodging each strike. I just decided to grab her blade. A look of despair came over Jiro. She tried to kick me, but I was done playing around and struck her in the stomach. "THANKS FOR THAT TIME!" Krogs voice boomed through the night. He had a dark red aura swirling in the air, his body trembling from the immense power he had accrued with the bought time from Jiro. He got into a completely different stance than before. He got down on all fours and started to charge at me like a crazed beast, he swings a powerful claw at me, and I ducked underneath the air, grazing me, causing me to miss my next attack. "They're remarkable." I thought. They continued with their improvised attacks, but

despite their best efforts, I

effortlessly dodge their attacks

before counterattacking with

lightning-fast punches and kicks

After several minutes of intense

combat, you finally bring Jiro and

Krog down, their energy spent.

They both look at you with a

newfound respect.

"You are truly a skilled warrior,

Ghov. says Jiro, sheathing her

sword. Krog nods in agreement. "You

are a true master of combat. We

will follow you into battle without

hesitation." You smile at the two warriors

Good, I am glad to have earned

your trust. We will need to work

together if we hope to defeat the

Timekeepers. With that, you teleport back to

Timoiud's castle, ready to begin

planning your next move.

I start Timoiuds' time training. He's

a natural, I see myself in him whilst

I was under my masters tutelage

I still remember my masters

last words, Ghov. You will save

everything. I found myself getting

distracted by this thought in the

middle of sparing with Krog. and

he managed to land an attack on

me and sent me flying through a

small forrest worth of trees and

he tried to land a follow-up attack

I dodged and landed a powerful

kick, sending Krog into the ground

Krog had a look of disappointment

on his face and said that he was

only able to land the strike cause I

was distracted, and I replied with

you noticed the slightest change

and made an opening. that is

incredibly impressive. you are only

using about twenty percent of your

power. Krog. this statement caught

krog by surprise. "You mean there is

more to my abilities?" Asked Krog

The three of you have the potential

to be the gods of this space and

time. I guess you just needed

someone who showed you your

true potential. Jiro and Timoiud nod in agreement as they listen to your words.

Jiro speaks up, 'Ghov, we have

witnessed your power firsthand,

but we still have much to learn.

Please teach us how to harness

our own powers and reach our true

potential, You nod, "Of course, Jiro. I will

teach you everything lknow, so that

we may stand a chance against the

Timekeepers. You spend the next few hours

training with Jiro, krog, and

Timoiud, teaching them new

techniques and helping them hone

their abilities. As the sun begins to

set, you call a break and sit down

to rest. Timoiud looks at you with

admiration. 'You truly are special,

Ghov. I can tell that you have a

strong bond with your master, and

that you will do everything in your

power to fulfill your destiny.

You nod, "I will do everything in my

power to stop the Timekeepers

and bring peace to this land. But I

cannot do it alone. I will need your

help and the help of others like us.

The four of you sit in silence, lost

in your own thoughts about the

days ahead. I know that the

jourey will be difficult, but you are

determined to see it through to the

end.a few weeks passed by, and my students

training is going quite well, but I can tell something is a miss, which is nearby, a strong force emanating from the distance.
