Her response was all Epotheros needed for the moment to keep his thoughts away from last nights events. He took her down and around the maze of halls to the outside courtyard were two soldiers stood with three horses a female wolf and a hawk perched a top of one of the horses. One of the soldies told them that the hawk and the wolf were in the stable with the horses when they got them and a male wolf had followed them from the cover of the forrest and was sitting outside the gates.
Epotheros then turned to Clover, "Is this what you had in mind? Well lets mount up and get going, there is a medow where the wind will flow freely across."

Anticipation was building up within Clover as they walked towards the courtyard. Her eye lit up and her heart jumped when she was Alfie and Amicus. This was more than she could ever dream of. She ran up to Alfie and hugged his muzzle. Then she let her arm out to Amicus who happily hopped onto it and nuzzled his head against her face affectionately. “Thanks,” she said to Epotheros in appreciation before she mounted Alfie.

Epotheros lead Clover through the forests behind the castle to a wide open medow. It was relitivly flat and lush with wild grass and flowers carpeted the land. here were several rocky mounds but they were few. A small river ran through the meddow and the cool clear water was a prime location for shrubs and small trees to grow. The sun was still low in the sky but the morning air was starting to warm up. Epotheros then dismounted shadow and stood in the middle of the field waiting for Clover.

Clover rode behind Epotheros through the forest to a meadow. It was gorgeous and Clover could feel the wind’s presence throughout the grassy plain. She mimicked Epotheros and dismounted her horse. Then she followed him to the middle of the field.

"First of all try and focus the wind around your dagger, then swing it forward and release your hold on it, picturing it moving along the ground in a straight line."

Clover listened then asked dumbly, “Let go of the dagger or the wind?” She felt stupid for asking such a question, but it couldn’t be helped. She was ready to try with the dagger in her hand. She just needed to get the last part straight.

"I'm sorry for the directions not being so clear mut I was refering to the concentration of wind."

Nodding Clover called out to the wind, Give me strength A small funnel of wind circled about the dagger. Like the one’s created around her arrows it was strong and consistent. Now all she needed to do was swing it off. Clover took a deep breath and swung the dagger. Unfortunately instead of traveling in the path needed the funnel vanished. “This might take awhile,” she commented doubting herself.

"Create the funnel again but just hold it there, I have an idea to help aid you in figureing out how to launch it," he said moving behind her waiting for he to revive the funnel of wind.

Clover called upon the wind again. It spun about the dagger like before. “What now?” she asked. Clover was curious as to what this would all lead to. She had an idea, but only an idea.

Epotheros moved cloer to her and placed his hands on hers from over her shoulders. He then moved the dagger slowly up and down in a slicing motion. He closed his eyes and studied the variations in the power of the wind. He repeated this several times and discovered were the power was the most intense. It was about 10 degrees above were it would be put to point startight ahead. He then told her the location and showed her it before letting go and stepping back to let her try.

Clover tensed for a moment when Epotheros came from behind her and guided her movements. She redirected her attention to the dagger. She listened carefully and took note to the position that was needed for the attack. She took another deep breath and attempted releasing the wind at the advised point. Clover sliced throw the air and released the funnel when necessary. It traveled for ten feet or so and then dispersed. It left a swallow indenting in the ground that was now bare of grass in a width of about half a foot. Clover smiled. She didn't expect that to happen. Really she thought that the funnel would vanish again.

"I wasn't quite sure that would have worked," he said with a smile. "Now try it again but on that rock over there. It shouldn't do as well but it is a good way to gauge your power. Also try and extent the length of the funnel to about that of a sword. THat will make it really effective in close range combat."
While he let Clover do her own assignment he decided it was a good time to train as well. He started to focus energy around his feet until they started to rsemble boots with three clawed toes jutting out from them. He tried to keep the energy as stable as posible letting only a few flames lash about in the space around them. He then added a quick burst of power on a lunge forward and jumped at an incredibly high rate of speed landing almost 100 yards away. Well that was very fast.
"One of the fastest movments I have seen, but nothing compared to what the legendary hero could do. It was said he could travle a mile in a single burst from the feet of the dragon lords in less time than it took for a person to drop a stone. He also was no where near as fast as Zant. He would need the speed to defeat him."

As epotheros handed me the piece of paper I felt as if needles were being driven into my spin I new exactly who had written this leather “she must had masked her energy to confuse me” I thought to myself as I read the note I then quickly returned to my room I as soon as I got there I closeted and looked the door just to make shored no one could get in I took a chare and fastened in front of the door I then closed all the blinds on the windows I then went to my pack and pulled out a small mirror I then sat in the center of the room and sat the mirror in front of me “vas goma serin manda larien suva costan a su comas varin” I whispered as I waved my hands over the small mirror the surface of the mirror started to wave like water I then looked into the mirror I saw larien she was in dark room but before I could make out any more detail the image was gone and replaced by the sorceries “do u really think ur power is anything compared to mine” she said angrily and then the mirror shattered “dame” I said as sweat was roling down my face “something is not right larien didn’t leave on her own but I will need more info before I bring this to epotheros attention” I said to myself as I started to open the blinds I then opened the door I quickly cleaned up the mirror fragments and then headed out of my room
