"The second most widespread type of creature inside the Plane of Creation are the animals.

They are usually less smart than the humanoids but, their bodies are superior.

Most animals don't even have Essence inside them.

When Life is on a downward creative streak... She just makes the same animals, maybe bigger or smaller.

But, when she stop brooding, the cool stuff comes out.

When animals have Essence or just are bound with different Elemental Spirits they become much more entertaining."

-Bee May, the faery of knowledge

"In a Plane there is a giant pig that can self-ignite at will! Free bacon you might think!

But, even if the smell is there... The flaming pig is still alive and even more dangerous! And entertaining!"

Fianna did not even have time to scream or react at all. As Safe extracted Little Wolf's hand from his adoptive mother chest, Fianna was enveloped in a crimson light that formed a cocoon. This time it was different, the cocoon enveloped only Fianna and there was a crimson tether that connected the cocoon to Little Wolf's back.

"Was that really necessary?"

Asked Mira.

"Eh, she asked for power and I gave it to her." Safe shrugged. "But Awe "LITTLE WOLF AND LET ME GO!" Is freaking out inside me right now."

"Can he hear me in there?"

"Yes."

"Ok, lets start with the first lesson on survival. A calm mind, you got too much going on in your head. You are Awe "LITTLE WOLF!" or Little Wolf, I don't really care. But, you need to decide who is the one that controls the body. If you are in a fight, even an istant of distraction is deadly. If there are two or three of you that are trying to wrestle the control of the body from each other, you will die."

"I will not let that happen."

"You will try not to but, your intervention might put him in danger more than you think. If a deadly attack is coming at you and the body tries to duck, while the angel is going left and the demon is going right... What do you think will happen?"

"I will not let that happen, Joy fought for years. I was with her from birth, I know how she fought, how her Demon's body worked and how her White Stalker heritage shaped her. I am the more experienced inside here."

"You might be right, you are the Safe option. But you are not the son of Joy, you are his guardian. You cannot guard him from himself. He needs to gain the title of 'Awe' not you. Little Wolf needs to learn how to survive on his own. You just need to support him like you did with Joy. As the instincts inside him do. You need to trust him more."

Safe sighed.

"What did you do to my mom!?"

"I did what she asked me to do, I mixed her Essence with Demonic energy and now I'm slowly changing her body with the same energy to make it stronger."

"Will she be ok?"

"Probably."

"What does that mea-"

BOOOM

"Ok, you two stop arguing."

Mira interrupted the two of them by clapping her hands once.

"Fianna will be fine, she is a fighter."

Said Sidon, he was laying on his back near his wife, watching the grey sky.

"See, even your father says so. Now I'll teach you the most important things in a fight. The most important thing is reaction time, if you can see or just feel how the enemy moves you have a chance to survive the fight. The second most important thing is endurance, you cannot get tired faster than the enemy, if you are tired you are dead, even more so for a Demon. Third is offensive power, if you cannot hurt your enemy, you cannot kill him. Fourth is speed, if you see the enemy and you have the power to hurt it... you need to catch it. I put it as fourth because if you have more endurance than the enemy it will get tired and its speed will drop. You just need to be fast enough to react to the enemy or just not get killed until you can get an advantage. That is what I would say to a normal living being."

Mira shrugged.

"You are not normal, you are an energy being, you have a Demon's body. With enough Demon's Hearts on perception duty you can react to anything, if I'm getting it rig-""You are correct" "-ht. Endurance is harder to quantify, your best bet is not wasting energy by moving, defend, deflect or dodge, do as much as you can to not consume too much Demonic energy and use your energy only for big hits, when you are sure that they will connect and damage the enemy. For offensive power... You can just let your Demonic energy eat its flesh, that will pressure the enemy to finish the fight fast or lose its flesh and continue the fight weakened. I don't know how tiring it is to fight that way, the other solution is making yourself look weak, maybe get some weak hits in and then a burst of Demonic energy and you can pierce the enemy defence, maybe kill it outright. As for speed, I saw you move really fast. I think your biggest problem will be endurance, if you can move faster than the enemy can perceive and hit it hard enough, every fight will end really fast. The problem will start with multiple opponents or when it does not work. Your endurance, offensive power and speed are tied to your Demonic energy consumption and generation."

"I tought the same thing, without knowing all of this. That's why I trained him with the spear, keeping the enemy at bay with the range and sweeping or stabbing when we get the opportunity."

Said Sidon without moving from his position.

"Yeah... about that, you can forget weapons. You will fight with your body. Weapons and armor could be useful in the beginning but you will need to forget how to use them as your strength increases. And if you use Demonic energy, you could eat up both of them easily... so you will end up fighting unarmed anyways. So, it's better to just train from the start with your body as a weapon."

Said Mira.

"So, how do we do this?"

Asked Little Wolf.

"I beat the shit out of you until you learn how to survive my attacks, technique is not important, your istincts will guide you. You know yourself best. This will help form your fighting style and teach you how to control your Demonic energy output at the same time." Mira started stretching. "You know what? I'll use kinetic energy from the start too, if you get hit enough times you might start to feel it. Once you can feel it, I can teach you how to harness it."

Mira took a fighting stance, she looked like she was having fun.

Little Wolf took a stance too, he never really fought with only his fist before, not seriously at least. Mira waved her hand as if telling him 'come hither'. Little Wolf approached her cautiously, he did as she asked and threw her way some weak punches. She dodged and twirled around him for a while, the smile never left her lips. Then Little Wolf tried the one-two combo he saw some hunters do, he gave those two hits more speed than power and Mira moved the way he predicted, he had an uppercut ready. With a burst of Demonic energy a fast and really powerful uppercut was thrown by Little Wolf, Mira moved faster than Little Wolf ever saw her move, she dodged the hit and kicked his exposed midsection.

Little Wolf flew from one side to the other of the pond, he bounced five time on the ground, gouging grass and earth in the progress, he felt tired, he felt like Mira wanted to beat him up more than teach him.

Mira put down her leg, she used the kinetic energy she was generating while fighting on that kick but, the kid had jumped when he was about to get hit or he would have bounced for a longer distance. He was totally surprised by the kick so the reaction had to be istinctive. Her smile grew, it will take time but when she was done with him... He could be really worthy to be called Awe-inspiring.

But, first she had to repair the clearing, the waters were getting restless again...
