Epotheros looked over at the entrance of the field to see Tramer on a course to meet him so Epotheros stood in one spot and waited for him. As Tramer aproached Epotheros could tell that he wanted to train and his thoughts were confirmed by the question.
"Sure you can kid, there's enough room for every one. You don't really have to worry about me because what I am doing is for the purpose of speed, not attack. The only way you'd get hurt is if I ran into you."
Epotheros then went back to his training and after a while went to go see how Clover was coming along with hers. He was about 500 feet from where she was standing so he wanted to try his new skill, so he summoned the fiery foot ware and launched himself towards her appearing just to the right side of her.
"So how is it going?" he said warmly.

((Sorry I've been busy lately with schoolwork.))
Clover concentrated the wind around her dagger again and again. She was having some difficulties extending it into the full length of a sword. She then realized that she never really decided how long the sword she was creating would be. Clover gave it some thought. Finally deciding to make it around the length of an average short sword the wind began extend to itself along the dagger.
Slicing the air with her new creation Clover could feel the force of the wind spiraling about the blade. She let the wind return to just the length of the dagger. Then she attempted lashing the wind out at the rocks. Calling out to the wind before hand she let out a series of blows. None of them caused any serious damage towards the rocks, but rather cleared the grass and land in front of them.
Clover stopped in mid swing when she heard Epotheros beside her. “Where’d you come from?” she asked before registering what he asked. She hadn’t felt his approach at all. Before he could answer her question she answered his, “Alright I guess. I’ve extended the wind’s range from the dagger, but I’m still only denting the rocks.”

((I've been busy building some equipment and writing a supreme court breifing for school aswell, so I haven't been on since noon.))
"Well rocks are just used as a gauge to measure your power. Soft targets can be taken out if you can leave a deep sctratch in the stone and light armor can be cut if you can get a defined cut in it, about a half an inch deep. With your current ability you would be able to do some real damage to unarmored tartgets."
He smiled, "Just give it some time, you're doing really well for just starting out. I on the other hand have already wasted a third of my energy in ten minutes trying to figure out what is the optimal output of my new skill. Now all I have to do is combine it with the first stage a.k.a. Flaming Claw of the Dragon Lord"

Clover smiled. She found Epotheros’ words to be rather encouraging. Her eyes widened slightly. In truth she was always impressed by Epotheros’ abilities, but now he was even exceeding her highest expectations. Clover still was trying to get use to traveling with such stilled fighters like Epotheros, Tramer, and Larien. She didn’t know enough about Ty yet, but she was certain he was skilled as well. It was evident that Epotheros had spent much of his life either training or fighting, probably both. She wondered how she could ever find the strength to fight as well as any of her traveling companions.
She broke her train of thought and commented, “I guess we both need more practice.” She laughed briefly before readying herself to continue training, even though she could feel energy depleting as well. Clover was far too determined to improve too quite training for the day.

((For Larien))
Zant was busy himself, traveling from providence to providence examining each of his for beasts. They were all normal creatures who were transformed by the power of the mask shards to create monsterous beings. He visited the creatures in this order. First he went to the largest woods in the land to find a giagantic two headed venus flytrap. Next he went to a volcanic region to discover a moster made out of molden rock. In the ruins of a woodland temple he found a huge spider, and her many young and last but not least in the desert there was what seemd to be a very large reanimated dragon skeleton. Pleased with the results he warped back to his castle to see if Larien had come to a decision.

Epotheros wiped the sweat off of his forehead he then realized how hot it was out. He looked up into the sky to find the sun directly above them, beating down its warm rays. He was a little tiered and was slightly hungry, and thought it would be a good time to take a break, cool off and eat some fruit from some of the trees in the orchard.
"Clover, do you want to take a break? It is about noon and it would be a good time to sit under one of the trees in the orchard and grab some pieces of fruit, drink some water and let the heat of the day pass by. "

Returning the dagger to her side Clover replied, “Good idea.” It was midday, the hottest time. Continuing training after the heat subsided would be wise. Besides, water sounded wonderful. Clover was thirsty and a little hungry. She was curious about what kinds of fruit trees grew in Lord Baragoon's orchards.

Epotheros lead Clover to a tree with a considerable amount of shade and climbed up into it while he motioned her to sit on the grass. He grabbed two plumb like pieces of fruit and tossed them down to her. He then grabbed a couple more and jumped down from his position in the tree. He sat next to Clover an pulled out his flask of water taking a long drink of water.
"Hopefully these are not too sour for you. They are not quite ripe yet, but I usually like the more sour fruits my self," he said taking a bite from it.

Sitting in the cool shade of the large tree was quite nice. Clover watched as Epotheros scavenged for fruit within the mass of tree limbs. She graciously caught the fruit. Clover smiled and took a bite from the fruit. It was a mixture of sweet and sour with a slightly predominant sour flavor to it. She found it’s taste to be quite interesting. “No, I like it,” she replied. Then she continued to eat.

"So what do you plan to do after we get this whole Zant problem solved?" he asked after finishing his piece of fruit.

Clover thought for a moment then shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. I guess I'll just keep traveling like I always have." She finished off the first piece of fruit and laid the second to her side. "What about you?"

"Well there should be a lot of things that will need to be bought back into order after the chaos so I'll be busy. At least if we beat Zant that is...."
Epotheros knew that that wasn't the correct thing to say, but he knew Zant wasn't going to be a push over. Epotheros then stood up. He wasn't hungry any more, he had a pain in the pit of his stomach. He wasn't sure what it was but related it to his fear of Zant. There was a huge difference in power and if he wasn't strong enough the others would get hurt.

A messenger ran acrossed the field and ran towards Epotheros and Clover. He was clearly out of breath and was from the Lanryu Providence in the eastern woods. He spoke fast asking where the Lord of the castle was and if Epotheros was able to relay the news to him.
"Well, I am his adopted son," Epotheros said to the messenger, "I am sure that I have the qualifications on dilivering the message to him."
The messenger gave Epotheros the message and ran off. Epotheros then opened thee scroll and read the words of urgency. The letter asked for assistance because there was a beast that appeared yesterday and it was in the image of a giant man eating plant and had allready killed some of the people.
He then rolled it up and turned to Clover, "We need to go, I will get Tramer, so meet me in the main hall of the castle."
Epotheros then told Tramer and mounted his stead and galloped his way back to the castle.
