“It’s time for us to switch. I get the Dragons of Light and you get the Servants of the Sayis.”
Kaiser lead us to a door with two swords in the form of an x carved nicely into it, and turned around to the front of us. As we all gathered around him, an orb appeared. Kaiser grabbed the key out of it. He put it in the keyhole. Kaiser positioned himself enough to where he was in front of the doorway and marched us into his classroom.
Kaiser’s classroom didn’t have any desks with books on them. But it did have a huge battlefield in the center of the room. I started to get very excited. Kaiser turned around to the front of us.Letters and packages moved in the air all over the room. The mail didn’t have wings, but it did move by itself, without anyone touching it. A few of the pieces of mail dropped beside me. I bent over and picked them up.
One of them was from my parents and, the last piece of mail I had gotten was a package from an anonymous sender. Tearing the packing off the package, I found a dragon harness. The letter taped to the package said this:
"If you're receiving this letter, it means I passed on to Kursta. Please, take good care of Lance, my dragon, for me. The harness will aid you in training with him."
"Wow, that dragon's Lance?"
I blinked at Chaser, surprised he recognized the name. "You know him?"
"I know about him. He's famous."
"Famous?"
"He's a legendary dragon from some mysterious Sayis."
Kaiser looked at all of us.
“The first fight will be Jaren VS Skyrid. Today, we will be learning how to turn into our warrior forms.” he said. Jaren and I went onto the battlefield. Kaiser looked at us.
“To turn into your warrior form you must lift your hand into the air and shoot either a beam of light or a beam of Darkness into the air. The beam of light is for a light warrior. The beam of darkness is for a dark warrior.”
I shot a beam of light into the air and Jaren shot a beam of darkness into the air. Armor started to appear on us piece by piece. Helmets started to form around our heads. Then armor started forming around our shoulders, arms and, hands. The armor then formed around our chests, legs, knees, and feet. Once all of our armor had formed itself onto both of our bodies, we looked down at our armor and found out my armor was color of the sun while Jaren’s armor was the color of darkness.
“Now when I say five, I want you to shoot your individual beams at each other. One, two, three, four and, five; now shoot your power beams at your opponent.”
Lowering our power beams by moving our hands down to the front of us, we shot our power beams at each other. The power beams hit against each other in the center of the battlefield, we both moved our hands back a few inches and two individual orbs formed and shot themselves towards Jaren and I. Before the orbs could come within a few inches of us, Kaiser shot an orb made of light and dark towards the center of the battlefield. The two individual orbs turned themselves around and headed towards the orb made of light and dark, which was in the center of the battlefield. When the two individual orbs hit the orb in the center of the battlefield, all three of the orbs formed together into one orb and then the orb started getting bigger; then once it had gotten big enough it started to spread itself to try to make itself bigger and, then the orb made itself explode.
Then the orb disappeared from our sight. Chaser then grabbed my shirt, pulled me to the front of the doorway, and closed the door behind us as he pulled me out into the hallway.
“You never told me you could make an orb of light, Slyer.” Chaser said.
“I didn’t think I could do it; which is why I never told you I could. And it was just a malfunction.”I said.
“It wasn’t just a malfunction, Skyrid! It’s not a trick that many first years can do! There’s only one person in the history of Gailems who could do it. And the only person who could do it was Maser Jenkins, the founder of the Dragons of light. Maser spent half of her first year trying to do it. Then one night, she did it. But she drained a big amount of her energy, which was what made her fall down on the ground. Not even your father, Alex could do it until his third year in this school.”
“How in the world do you know all of this?” I asked, while being puzzled at what Chaser had just said.
“My Father, Pedro Jerricus told me about them. But, it doesn’t matter. The point of the matter here is Maser died about a thousand years ago. Maybe you’re related to her somewhere on your family tree, Slyer.”
“I don’t think so Chaser. It may be possible. But it’s highly unlikely.”I said, while doubting what Chaser had just said.
“No it’s not unlikely, Skyrid! You did a trick which can only be done by Maser. No first year expect for her ever made an orb of power, Slyer!” Chaser shouted.
“Yes, Chaser, it may be true that Maser was once the only person who could ever make an orb of power in the history of Gailems. But now there is one more name added to the list of people who can make an orb of power and the name is Skyrid Crop, son of Alex Crop.”I said, while being excited about being a part of the History of Gailems one day. The door beside us then swung open and Kaiser appeared.
“What are you doing out here? You’re supposed to be in the classroom to do warrior training.”
“I was just having a private conversation with Skyrid, Sir.”
“Well, Chaser Jerricus, you may think you and Skyrid can just wander out of my class without me knowing about it. But you can’t do what you just did. You can’t just walk out of my class, without getting in trouble. After class you will stay with me in my classroom and you, Skyrid and, I will have a nice long talk about what you and Skyrid have done!”Kaiser shouted. Kaiser then pulled us by the collar of our shirts and pulled us through the doorway and into his classroom. When me, and Chaser, were pulled into the classroom by Kaiser, Kaiser dropped us on the floor.
“The next battle will be between…” Kaiser paused for a moment.
Kaiser pointed his finger at someone.
“You there; what’s your name?”
“You mean me? My name is Caitlyn Jerricus.”
“You’re the Headmaster’s daughter. You will go against…” Kaiser paused again
“You there in the blue shirt, what’s your name? “
“My name is Parser Jerricus, sir.”
“This battle will be very interesting. The son of Pedro Jerricus, Parser Jerricus will go against the Headmaster’s daughter, Caitlyn Jerricus. I do not know which side they will choose to be on. But, hopefully they will make a choice which might make Kursta proud of them for their choice to make it at all.”Kaiser said, while being eager to let the second battle again.
Parser and Caitlyn took their positions on the battlefield. The Headmaster’s daughter was standing on the right side of the battlefield. The son of Pedro Jerricus was standing right across from the Headmaster’s daughter. Their right hands rose up into the air, a yellow power beam shot out of each of the palms of each of their hands. Their armor started to form around their bodies. The armor started forming around their heads and it put yellow helmets with blue lines all over them on their heads. Then the armor formed around their shoulders.
The armor around their shoulders had the same features as their helmets, but their shoulder armor also had the color of the ocean on it. Armor then started to shape itself around their elbows, arms and hands. The armor around their hands was the color of the sun, the color of a red moon with little light blue lines on them. Outlining itself around their chests, knees, legs and feet, the armor was the color of the sun with the color of the ocean blended into it.
“Stop the battle! Two warriors on the same side can’t fight! It is against the rules of the Warrior Council. And I for one do not want me or anyone else to get in trouble with them.”
Parser and Caitlyn stopped their power beams by putting their right hands on their sides.
“You in the sea blue cloak; what is your name?”
“Do you mean me, sir? My name is Nester Green.”
“I am. I froze him with some ice beams.”Nester said, with glee in his eyes.
“Well, Nester, let’s see who your opponent is.”
“You with the green grass cloak; I want to know your name.”
“You’re talking to me, Mister Kaiser? I’m…Chaser …Jerricus.”Chaser said, anxiously.
“You’re the third son of the Headmaster, Chaser. Be proud of who you are and be thankful you even have a Father, because some kids don’t even have a one to hang around with, Chaser. This should be an exciting match. It will be brains against skill in this warrior brawl. This will be a battle between a first year and a third year. They are both in the same group. But, let’s see if they are with each other or against each other.”Kaiser said, with an eagerness to know how the battle would go down.
The third son of the Headmaster rose his right hand up into the air with the palm of his right hand facing the ceiling and, then while draining his energy he shot a beam which was the color of the sun into the air. The person with the cloak which was the color of the ocean threw his right hand up into the air in addition to bending his right hand back to make one fourth of a circle. A beam which was the color of darkness shot out of the palm of his right hand which was the hand he had been holding up into the air above him for exactly six seconds now. Nester’s armor started to form around his body and just before all of it could form itself around his body, William lowered his hand down to the front of him and, his power beam made itself head right towards Nester’s side of the room. Nester lowered his hand to the front of his chest and his power beam threw itself against Chaser’s power beam.
The power beams waged war against each other. Each of their power beams were hitting against each other and pushing each other back and forth until the beam which was shot out of the palm of the right hand which belonged to the third son of the Headmaster pushed with all its might and, it finally pushed the other power beam out of its way and it headed towards the person with the cloak which was the color of the sea.
The power beam threw itself against Nester and he was thrown back up against the wall. Falling down onto his knees he rose up from his knees by bending over and putting his hands on the ground, his left leg slowly moved itself to move his left knee in front of his chest, pushed with his hands with all his strength, and slowly started to move his right leg to the point that made him looked like he was squatting while using his hands to balance himself so he would not fall over onto his back.
Rising up from his squatting position until the point that he was standing, he laughed, jumped into the air and grew the orange wings of a phoenix. After the wings had grown out of his back, a few of the quills from his orange wings untangled themselves from his wings and threw themselves towards William’s side of the field. Chaser shot a beam of light out of each of his hands hit each other, which made a orb of light and the quills from the phoenix wings shot themselves into it and then the orb shattered and ashes were thrown all over the room.
We all scratched our heads until all the ashes had fallen out of our hair. Nester then bent over and got into a position which made him look like he was going to start crawling. I screamed as his clothes ripped, and then his body started to make itself sprout big pieces of hair on his body and around his head. Then his hands turned into a set of feet with long sharp claws, his back legs start growing claws, his head turned into a mane, whiskers grew straight out of his face, his back grew into a coat of hair and he started to look like a lion. We all screamed as Nester roared loudly and ran right towards Chaser. Once he appeared in the presence of Chaser, he flew into the air and jumped up into the air, slashed his claws through Chaser’s face, and he made face bones appear.
Chaser was then pushed towards the ground by Nester’s paws. His head hit the ground and blood started to pour blood of itself. We all feared what could happen next as I ran towards him. I stood in front of Nester as I put my hands on Chaser’s bony face. As soon as I touched his face, his skin started reappearing until all of his bones had disappeared from my sight and his chest started to rise as air came out of his mouth.
“You saved me, Skyrid. Thank you for not leaving me to die.” Chaser said, while noticing I had just saved him from a terrible fate.
“You are very welcome, my friend, Chaser. I would never leave you to die and I hope you will do the same as I just have done to you one day, Chaser. You’re not a friend I would give up for anything and you’re more than that. You’re a true friend. You and I became friends the minute we met each other and, from that moment you have always defended me.” I said.
“Skyrid, I only did those things to show you I’m a good friend. Now you’re saying I’m a true friend too are you?You always stick by me even though you don’t have to do it all. I wish I too could give you thanks for all of things you have done for me. I have no friends except for my family and you decided to take a risk on becoming my friend.” Chaser said, crying tears of joy.
I turned around and I said that I would not let Nester harm anyone else. I shot a power beam up into the air. The power beam was the color of the sun. My armor formed around me. I shot one power beam out of each of my hands and a power orb started to form. At first the orb was half of a globe, but, as I got angrier it turned itself into a big globe like orb which was the color of the sun. The orb threw itself towards Nester.
He obviously didn’t see it coming. The orb hit him in the face, and he was tossed towards the back of the room. He was up against the wall and he started to turn back into himself. Kaiser made everyone leave the room as Nester’s head switched back into his regular self. Nester had hair that was as brown as the bark on a tree. His eyes were the color of grass. His shoulders were as naked as a jaybird.
We all start to wonder if we were dreaming. Nester turned into a creature that was half lion and half phoenix. According to the book of many secrets, the creature was called a Lionix. We all talked among ourselves. I talked to chaser.
“I can’t believe you defeated a Lionix, Slyer. A Lionix was one of the most powerful creatures in history.”
“They lived at one time, Chaser?” I asked, while being befuddled at what Chaser had just said.
“Yes, Slyer, they did. They lived during the age of the Lionix. There were no people on the planet Hiton during the age of the Lionix. The Lionix was a pleasant species. They lived gracefully among each other, until the night when asteroid hit and turned it into an earth with volcanoes. The temperature of the planet at the time was too hot for the creatures.
So one by one they died off and disappeared from existence. No one on the planet has ever seen a Lionix until now. Nester is the first person I have seen turn into a Lionix. It is not something anyone can do. As my Father always said, the powers choose the warrior.
And it has been that way ever since the first Light Warrior and Dark warrior were created."
I don’t know what was taking Kaiser so long, but at this moment he opened the door and let us all back into the classroom. It was a good thing Nester was in clothes again because I had never thought I would ever see someone turn into a Lionix.
Kaiser told us Nester was going to be in big trouble for what he had done to Chaser Jerricus. Nester had gotten detention from Kaiser. After class had gotten over, everybody except for Chaser, myself and Nester raced out of the classroom and Kaiser made him sit down in his desk while he talked to Chaser and I.

in his desk while he talked to Chaser and I.
“It was very rude for you two to walk out of my class. So as punishment, you’ll spend the next two hours in detention with me. Now, sit down.”
Thoughts ran through my mind. This is not my fault. It was Chaser who pulled me out of the classroom. So he should be the only one getting punished for this; not me and him.
It was very hard for me to sit down and wait out the two hours. I was very good in school and have never been punished until now.
Two hours later, Kaiser took us to Kama’s classroom.
Once we had appeared in Kama’s classroom , I saw against the wall thousands of swords and, staffs with sharp blades at the end of them and the staffs’ blades seemed to curve in such a way that they looked like question marks. I also saw thousand of spears with little lines all over them with color of the sun all around all of the spears I had seen at his time.
I wondered what would happen next and then Kama stood right in front of us and spoke:
“ Welcome, Skyrid, Jaren and Nester. I want each of you and everyone else to pick one weapon. Choose wisely, young ones because the weapon you chose just might decide your fate in a battle. Now if you are skilled enough, you might not even need a weapon. But for some people like Qysterio Sayis, they might need them to make their warrior forms come forth and switch itself with the human form. The other reason why you would need a weapon is if you are going into war and you just haven’t quite mastered all of your powers yet.
You might even be able to make weapons of your own by using your warrior powers. But as a great man once said, the powers choose the warrior and therefore how powerful you are is up to the powers you have and not yourself. This is because the warriors powers must agree with your mastery of them or you will never be able to master your powers. Furliceo Woolsley is a great example of this.”
“How is he that?”I asked
