I left Jilly alone and dropped the talk of Lizy, but we were getting close to the waterfall now. I could hear the dull roar of the water get louder until we walked out into the clearing.
The water was misting from the falls, and I walked over to the pool of water with the girls. As we approached, a shape rose out of the water in the form of a little old wizard.
"So, you did come and brought the girls with you; does that mean you are ready to sweat?" Wataluga asked me as he stepped out onto the grass.
"I hope your training is more than laughing me into submission; we already had that one," I said with a smile, and the old watery wizard smiled back at me, but then he started to expand.
"No jokes, but this will be harder than the hand-holding Grogvel does. I am just going to have you run today, and then tomorrow we'll start the fighting," Wataluga said as his body rapidly expanded to cover us up to our necks and fill the clearing with his watery body.
