(in the mortal realm)
Annocoi's mother was sitting next to Annocoi's bed worried. Other than her hair annoying her she couldn't focus on anything but Annocoi. The tall black doctor walked into the room, and she stood up. "Will he be okay?" The boy's mothers question hung in the air. The small room was like any other hospital room, small and seemed to stop time completely.
"We don't know," said the man, his eyes straying to annocoi. "His heart is beating and his lungs are working, but his brain is completely inactive." Annocoi's mother looked towards Annocoi and back toward the black man. She walked a little closer, "So what are you gonna do," she said, her voice dropping to a whisper so her children couldn't hear them. "We don't know yet, we were thinking of calling in a special team, if that's ok with you." She looked at Annocoi again. Her eyes studying him in this state, "Do it please, save my son."
(Spirit realm)
Annocoi looked at the man, "is that supposed to mean something to me." The man looked at him "mmm no, not yet, but it will," said the man with excitement. "you can move around now, by the way." Annocoi got up and instantly fell. Inshnuvice laughed, and Annocoi glared at him. The man got up and snapped his fingers. Annocoi felt a warmth go over his legs, he felt like he could get up. As he stood he felt somehow relieved, "I can stand," Annocoi thought warmly, "wait I'm not paralyzed in the human world right?!?" "No kid you're not" said Ishnuvice "you're just asleep right now, plus your body isn't used to the spirit world." Annocoi looked at him, "you said the spirits want you to train me, when are you gonna start that?" "How about right now?" Ishnuvice said with a one sided grin. Annocoi was going to regret this for sure. The man got up and walked out the door
When Annocoi got out of the hut he looked around. The grass under his feet was soft, the mountains around him were like works of art sticking out of the ground far away. Annocoi breathed in, smelling the fresh smell of water, grass, and other smells he had never smelled before. "Smells clean right" said Ishnuvice inhaling. "Yeah definitely" replied annocoi. Out of the corner of Annocoi's eye he saw Ishnuvice's foot swing at his head. Just barely able to get out of the way before he got hit, Annocoi yelled "What the hell man, why are you attacking me." "Lesson one, never expect everyone to be your friend, expect them to eventually betray you," said Ishnuvice. Annocoi surveyed his surroundings, plenty of room to dodge and fight.
After hours of dodging and close calls, Annocoi was too tired to keep going. Even though Ishnuvice insisted they keep going, Annocoi couldn't, "how is he barely breaking a sweat." Inshuvice threw a falling kick at him, Annocoi was on his knees and he put his arms over his head to block. Ishnuvice smiled as Annocoi blocked it, "finally, you are now ready to learn to fight properly," Ishnuvice said with a satisfied grin. "I thought I was learning to fight already," Annocoi said, panting tiredly. "You call that fighting," said Ishnuvice "All you did was dodge." Annocoi sighed he was tired, he didn't want to do much of anything. Still he got to his feet and readied himself for what Ishnuvice was going to throw at him. The man had thrown a punch-kick combo Annocoi had never seen before. Ishnuvice hit his jaw so he flew a few feet in the air. As Annocoi was in the air, Ishnuvice kicked his feet so he spun a little. After spinning him so Annocoi was upside down, Ishnuvice kicked him in the stomach causing him to curl around Ishnuvice's foot. He flew a few feet away, his head hit the ground and scraping he then fell flat on his back, "That was a combo I invented myself." Annocoi was stunned. He got up off the ground, sending a pain through his stomach. He got back in position and got ready for another attack. Ishnuvice, nodded. "Now, your turn to attack me." Annocoi narrowed his eyes, lunging, he moved quickly. Ishnuvice used a spartan kick next, Annocoi blocked it by putting his hands in front of his chest and pushing ishnuvice's foot down. Annocoi threw a punch into his ribs, Ishnuvice stumbled back. Annocoi lunged for another attack, the man smiled. He brought another kick to his side. Annocoi threw a punch hitting Ishnuvice square in the stomach pushing him back. Annocoi and Ishnuvice threw attacks back and forth for a half hour. When they stopped both the boy and the man were sitting down panting. "Damn, you can fight, kid!!" Annocoi panted and looked at Ishnuvice, "You're one to talk, I've never seen anyone fight like that before" Annocoi said. Ishnuvice chuckled then said, "Yeah, well you still kicked my butt pretty hard" "You kicked mine worse, literally." Annocoi and Ishnuvice laughed, Ishnuvice looked like he realized something. "Kid, how old are you?" "Uh.. about 13 and a half I guess." Annocoi answered, "Why…" Ishnuvice smile went to a blank stare. "I need to go back to the real world, you can't leave so don't try," Ishnuvice said, he started pointing, it looked as though he was drawing in the air. As he finished, Annocoi was surprised that Ishnuvice was enveloped in light.
