Rain is all that can be heard as the people are screaming for help i'm running as fast as i could people are hurt i cant slow down now not when people could end up dying while i have the power to save them.....its been three years since i became a dragon knight imm not as strong as some of the others but its not all bad i've trained for this day, the day that ryu hoshi finally teaches me one of her skills "child this skill you are about to learn will put a lot of strain on your body it takes immense power and control to do this". that's alright ryu im stronger than when i first got you as my companion i can handle it... "very well child draw your blade and concentrate on me when that happens think of you pulling me into your sword andit will happen", but ryu if i do that you wont be with me would you. "in a technical sense yes i will ill basically be in your soul but you can call me back to the material world anytime you want" so let me get this straight you want me to call you into my sword/soul what does this do for me does it give me powers? "on top of gaining extra power you get magic power bsed on what our dragon has an affinity for some dragon knights have the power over fire some water but us well we will have to see." t-that is actually impressive alright lets try it i close my eyes and cocentrate on ryu i fell an odd sensation like i was pulling something i go to fight it when ryu cuts in "dont fight it child pull it" i do as ryu instructed. when i open my eyes ryu was gone, ryu where are you i yell "in your soul child but we have a time limit" how long are we talking i ask. "about 11 seconds max" as soon as she finishes that sentence she reappear "i suggest we train to increase the time limit to five minutes but that will require about 1 month of intensive training" says ryu

MEANWHILE

a rookie dragon knight is getting picked on by some of the more advanced troops "please stop says the rookie i didnt mean to bump into you it was an accident" even if it was an accident you still have to pay 500 gold for me to get my armor clean you twerp. he raises his fist to hit the rookie until "Hey leave him alone he said it was an accident your armor wont even cost 10 gold to clean your trying to rip him off i say "who are you says the dragon knight stay out of this or ill hurt you as well he turns around to continue what he was doing. i pull my sword out of its sheath and point it at the knights neck "i would quit if i were you" i say he turns around with a mad look that quickly turns into a confused stare, where the hell is your dragon rookie he asks. i answer him by looking at my sword a look of recognition crosses his face oh? you dre to challenge me he goes to pull his sword out of his sheath until ryu appears out of my sword how long was that ryu "2 minutes and 30 seconds child" damn only 30 seconds better i've been training for 1 week straight and my time limit has only increased 30 secnds... i was about to ask the knight if i could pay instead of the other rookie until the town sirens went off we were under attack but by who we hear screaming than someone yells goblins!!! what the hell? i ask goblins in broad daylight the fools we hear an explosion we turn around only to see an ogre "well rookie that explain why they are attacking now they have an ogre backing them up what would you expect" says the bully whats your name rookie he asks shiro sir my name is shiro i look behind him at the fellow rookie whats yours i ask m-my name is dylon sir alright you two your rookies so stay behind me ill attack you look for an opening YES SIR we yell we draw our swords and wait oh by th way my name is mack says the bully knight he runs up to the ogre and tries to cut it but his sword doesnt even pierce its skin. damn says mack this things skin is as hard as iron he says i close my eyes and call ryu into my sword and launch at the ogre right when mack gets hit by it's giant club he gets lanched in the air and falls down he looks up right when i cut its arm off but i get hit it hurt like hell but i tough through it "child you wont beat this foe use a skill ut be warned it will put tremendous stress on your body and you will be out of the fight but you will give mack and dylon a chance to kill it" fine here we go ryu get ready freezing spikes!!! i yell 10 ice spike form nd launch at the ogre hitting it in different parts of its body not killing it but stunning it long enough for dylon to come up behind it and slice into its back effectively killing it the last thing i saw before passing out was the goblins retreating and mack picking me up and then everything goes black...
