6 Challange

After my fight against Orrin there was still Moonstones to watch. She has purposeful been dodging and waiting for my fight to end, so that the spectators would watch her fight.

She sure was an attention hog.

Sure enough everyone's eyes shifted to watch Moonstone who gracefully dodging all of the horse's attacks. Through the bond the hunger was still there, but so was a profound joy.

"Wow she is so shiny! She is so strong and beautiful. Look at how she is effortlessly prancing away from the horse's savage attacks." Exclaimed a small girl from the crowd.

"How can Orrin say that he is still a man? How embarrassing. It's like a slap to the face to us, why couldn't anyone have gained the courage to fight against such a coward? He shouldn't be punished to a iron branding for his lack of bravery and wimpy attitude." Cried someone else from the crowd.

There was more and more whispers that jumped out and made me smile. That was right how could there be any respect for a man like him? The suggestion of iron branding seemed fitting to me. It was a small punishment that would surely change this mans attitude real quick.

Now that all eyes were on Moonstone there was a flare of determination through that passed onto me. It was time for her to get serious and show those that had ridiculed my soul bonded our real strength.

Jumping onto the back of the horse and grabbing the back of his neck with her jaw she bit down as hard as she could. The horse let out a careening shriek of pain and Orrin who was on the floor let out a scream of pain. The crowd looked at Orrin with disgust and contempt.

The horse who was bucking and stamping her feet couldn't manage to dislodge Moonstone and panic and fear filled the horse's black eyes. The horse was trying to find a way to admit defeat and laid down continuously screaming out in pain.

"Enough," I called down the bond I sent to her an image of the food and she jumped off, remembering her early hunger she gave a hop with a flap of her wings to carry her farther. Moonstone's wings were still to strong and weak to carry her body jet, but it could give her a small boost. At this time her wings were like the legs of a new born baby.

News of the Failure of the clans one-sided defeat caused many people to rethink about her and many discussions broke out.

Feeling the eyes on me exhilarated me like it had never done before. I also knew that this was due to Moonstones emotions. Moonstone would imprint on me and I would be changed due to her imprints. For example I had become blood thirsty during the fight due the the enhancement of our bond.

This is was one of the most important days of my life. This was the day that I was finally going to be permitted to enter the magical training fields.

Excited at this fact my steps hurried a little making Moonstone shriek because of the increase in the speed her little legs were having trouble keeping up. So she used her wingd to send her multiply feet in front of me, but it was easy for me to keep up and only took a few steps.

A smile once again tugged on my lips for the second time in such a short amount of time. How could I have been bonded to someone who was so amazing as this? Then I mentally slapped myself I Moonstone is my perfect match that was why she was my sou bonded. So that meant that I was just like her.

Thinking such thoughts still couldn't block out the gratitude that was growing in my frost-cold heart.

Standing at the bottom of the mountain that one would have to climb to get to the training field I let out a deep breath.

Noticing that someone else was approaching from my back I looked back.

It was a man with blue hair and black eyes. He gave me a lopsided grin before taking a running leap and, advancing 50 feet in the air.

Once again he looked down at me and smiled. This was most definitely the hardest part to get to the training zone.

The reason that only those with bonded could make it up to the training zone was that it was so high up and took a lot of energy to climb all the way up. But because those that used magic could easily climb it and even they had to use the help of their bonded to make it all the way.

The smile that the man gave me didn't seem to be provoking, but still I couldn't figure out what it meant.

I pondered what could his bonded be to be able to jump so high like that in one go. I had already denied the idea that he was using the air element to boost him as I felt no gust of wind. He could be a kangaroo? Maybe a rabbit? Mountain goat? Whatever it was it was a pretty good ability to have especially during a fight. It would be hard to hit him if he was able to move so agile.

Unfortunately I felt a flare of determination flare up in Moonstone again. Turning to look just in time to see her launch her self off her muscled legs and with a flap of her wings shoot up. She didn't manage to fly up 50 feet in the air as the man had did so, but I was impressed that even as a newly created animal she could even jump up 10 feet.

With a groan I knew that this first trip up the mountain wasn't going to be a slow and easy one. Pulling on the bond and drawing some of her strength and jumping up to the rock that Moonstone did.

All the while the man was always a step ahead of us and that irritated Moonstone she would chase after him as fast as she could, and I could only follow along helplessly.
