***many months later*
A voice sounded, seemingly out of nowhere, "Wake up, You are ready, ready to hear my voice. Master."
Tsuchishi woke with a start, a young earth dragon sitting at his feet, with its layered golden wings shining like the sun. "Your awake Master" said a voice in Tsuchishi's head, "Who? Who said that?" he shouted. "You dont know, its me Master. Your faithful companion." soothed the voice. "But... You've never been able to talk, before." mumbled Tsuchishi. "I have reached the age, where a young dragon must be named. You, you must name me. As, I am useless without a name. A name bonds the rider and the dragon, It allows them to act as one." said the young dragon. Tsuchishi thought for a while, "Let me think, think for a while. Then I shall name you" he said, determined. "As you say Master, but dont wait too long. Once dragons reach that age, anyone can name them." said the dragon. After a long time thinking, "Zangetsu!" Tsuchishi yelled. "What? Is this to be my name? Master?" asked the dragon. "Yes, exactly. This shall be your name, Zangetsu."
