Training Time

Miles did a little clap for Naka, he did pretty well. “It looks like you got the form change down, now let’s see if it will return to you,” Miles said, “Make sure you don’t lose sight of it.” He was sure Naka could throw it himself after a little rest. Miles drew out his black lightning sword. He watched as the sparks moved across the blade. Sheathing the sword once more Miles walked over to Nakata. “After this we should eat,” Miles said to Naka, “It’s always good to get your energy back quick after an enchantment.” Miles was ready to watch Naka send his weapon away. Naka’s enchantment seemed to be stable for a first try. “Hey Naka here,” Miles said handing a book over to Naka. “I had one sent over so you could have your own compendium. It binds to your essence so you shouldn’t have trouble keeping up with it.” Usually the book showed up when you wanted it so it was pretty easy to manage. “Also it makes for some good light reading. I’ll give it to you when you’re done,” Miles said watching.

“That worked better than I expected,” Miles said, “it teleports back to you when you call for it.” Naka had done a good job on the spear. It would come in handy for him if he ever needed it. Miles was a little proud of Naka making a good enchantment on the weapon. Miles started to think more about the weapon. “I wonder if you need to see the naginata for it to be able to come back to you.” Miles walked over to Naka, and gave him a pat on the back. Usually he got a craving for food after doing an enchantment but he wondered if that applied to Naka. It wasn’t a serious hunger but enough to make you think about food.

“I feel like getting something to eat, How about you Naka?” Miles said to him.

“Alright then, let’s go get something to eat,” Miles said to Naka. Miles turned and looked into the deep forest. Today had been a very fruitful day indeed. He had seen an owlbear and fought it. It was a shame that there weren’t any known in this world but it would be. He had changed his sword to a black lightning sword. Naka had also made his first magic weapon. The spear could teleport back to after it was thrown and would make an excellent condition to any weapon. Looking at the thickness of the forest Miles wondered what else was hidden in the trees. There could be more to explore in his whole time he was in the forest. Miles rubbed his stomach "I hope you know the way back Naka because I sure don’t, unless you want to eat the dead owl bear or you brought something to eat.” Miles hadn’t considered that he might have needed to eat out here. He would have to be more prepared next time.

“So were flying then,” Miles said, “I am okay with that. This will be my first time in this city I beleive.” Miles could see where he was going when he was above the trees. “I hope you can fly better than a baby bird,” Miles said to Naka unsure if he could control his wings but they weren’t too hard to control. All it required was focus mainly for Miles to keep himself up in the air. Flying was an amazing thing; you got to see how the birds see. You could do tricks with enough practice and travel faster than walking. Miles sprouted his wings so he could prepare for flying. His wings were black and scaly while rigged on the outside and smooth on the inside. He was proud of his wings and his control over them. Miles started to lap his wings and he hovered in the air. “Let’s go back now,” Miles said, they weren’t in a rush but if they stayed on the ground some kind of creature might attack them. They could still get attacked in the air but, it was easier to see if someone was coming.

Miles flew back to the campus carrying two things with him, his sword and the arm of the owlbear that was dead. Miles wouldn’t use it as material for a while he would keep it on the wall of his dorm room. It was easy to carry when he was using his demonic strength. When Miles got back to the dorms he absorbed the wings back into himself and walked up to his room. When he got to his room Miles put the sword beside the bed and left the owlbear arm on his bed. He would mount it on his wall later.

After finishing with putting everything into place his room Miles went back outside and called his wings back out. He flew up to the roof and saw Naka. “So where are we headed to eat now?” Miles asked Naka.
