(Last chapter)

Dylan felt like floating. And he could feel his cheek burning. They
separated and gave each other a beautiful smile. They each said goodnight
and parted each one to their tent.

. . . . . . . . . .

As soon as the first rays of sun appeared on the sky, Kyle was entering
Dylan's tent.

"Rise and shine pretty boy!! Training begins now!! I need you to wake up,
shower, dress and be out in 15 minutes. Now hurry!!" He said as he exited.

Dylan slowly rose, and rubbed his eyes. He started thinking about the day
before. It felt like such a blur.  Not only had he passed the test, but Ray
his best friend was also discovered as a very powerful assassin.  He had
been selected to train with Kyle, a powerful mage, who happened to like
him. He still wasn't sure if he liked him in a romantic way. He did kiss
him in the cheek, but he didn't see the gesture as romantic, but more
brotherly. But still there was a small voice inside his head telling him to
keep his hopes up.  After some serious thinking he stood up and went to
take a bath, thinking how his best friend, Ray was doing right now.

. . . . . . . . .

(On the other side of the camp)

"Are you completely sure this will help me on my speed??" Ray asked
confused.

"Yeah yeah!! Of course it will help!!" Tyler answered while he paced in
front of Ray.

Tyler had Ray standing upside down with two weights in each leg. He had
also instructed him he had to do pushups at the same time.

"You've got 5 more minutes to go!"

"I've been doing this for 30 minutes already!!"

"Don't complain and hold your stance. After yesterday you already know that
you must pay attention to my words. Your assassin skills have greatly grown
in a matter of hours. You are an excellent student.  Now hush and focus!!"

.  . . . . . .

The day before, as soon as they got to the camp, Tyler had Ray show him all
the skills he had in order to evaluate and decide which type of training he
would give him. He was extremely good. He had no problem keeping up with
all of Tyler's intermediate attacks which was a lot. With some tips here
and there, Ray's abilities greatly increased.

Tyler deduced that although his powers were sealed away, his natural
abilities allowed him to learn quickly and prepare his body. So if the seal
was removed he would not start from scratch.

After some examination Tyler decided it would be good to teach Ray some
offensive skills to go with his already good speed and combat skills.  They
trained the rest of the day with all kinds of weapons, ranging from
katanas, long swords, spears, canes, kunais, shurikens, and even bow and
arrows.

Then at night Andy had come to visit them. He had already changed. He
proceeded to tell them that he came here to help Dylan train but would do
so tomorrow. He asked if it was alright to just hang with them. They
accepted, and Tyler decided it had been a really long day of work for Ray
and that he could rest. Ray admired for a moment this Andy. He was tall and
very well defined. He stopped himself from continuing this thoughts.

"Fiiinaaally!! My arms and legs are hurting!!" Ray said after he threw one
last dagger into a target in a tree. Without even trying Ray did a
bull's-eye in the target.

"The only reason that I have pushed you so much the last few hours is
because I see a great potential in you!!" Tyler said while they were
sitting near the camp fire.

"Is he as good as everybody say he is?" Andy asked while he grabbed a small
fruit to bite.

"He really is! He even surprised me!! He will quickly grow to be an amazing
assassin. Its like his friend. As soon as I saw him I could feel his
power." Said Tyler.

"Its right! Your ability to sense others powers!!" Said Andy.

"So wait, if you had that ability why did you ask who was the assassin when
you met us?" Ray asked a bit confused.

"Haha I already knew, I was just messing with you. I already knew Dylan was
the shadow mage. He is a level two mage. You are a level two
assassin. Something interesting though, is that even though you guys are
still at level two that doesn't mean you guys are weak. Your skills are way
higher than a normal level two."

"So how many levels are there?" Ray asked.

"There are seven levels. Seven being awesomely good like a council
member. Everybody here, Kyle, Andy here and me, we are all level six
magbeis."

"Cool!! Has an inferior level magbei ever beaten a higher level?" Asked Ray

"Yeah it happens. Not very often but it has happened. Take Andy for
example. Like I've said he is a level 6 but he managed to beat Council
Master Roark when he got a fight with him. So yeah it is possible."

"What were you doing to get in a fight with a Council Master??" Ray asked
in disbelief.

"I was fucking his precious personal apprentice. When he got in the room
and saw me fucking him, he flipped and started attacking me. I have to
admit that for someone his age he was very tough. At first he was totally
beating my ass but when I understood how he fought I managed to get the
upper hand.  When I had him pinned to the floor about to break his arm I
remembered who I was fighting with and I let him go. He was more than
pissed with me but he let me go with a warning. Not do it ever again or he
would have me killed. That didn't stop me to fuck his apprentice's ass
every single day." He finished telling and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha are you still as horny as the last time we talked?" Tyler asked
amused.

"Yeap !! I think Im even hornier than before. Something that I'm sure he
will find out soon enough!!"  Andy said with a huge grin and pointing at
Ray.

"Ha ha ha I don't think so!! I'm not gay!!" Ray said in a bit of a shock.

"You mean: You weren't gay!! That'll change!! Tyler said.

"What do you mean it will change? I'm pretty sure I'm straight!"

"Ok! Think about this for a second! How many female Magbei have you seen?
And consider that marriage between a magbei and non-magical being is
prohibited!" Andy said.

This confused Ray, now that he thought of it, he had never seen a female
Magbei. Not even when he went into the academy with Dylan. This was being
reflected on his face because Tyler said:

"You can't think of a single Magbei women, can't you??"

"There are no women?" Ray asked panicking.

"No there are women!!" Andy said to which Ray responded with a loud
sigh. "One in every 100 Magbei.  And there is officially only one straight
Magbei. They are meant to meet each other and reproduce. This is nature's
way of birth control us. Hahaha"

"This can't be true!! So if that is what you say, why haven't I had any
interest in guys before?" Ray asked.

"Interesting question. The answer has to do with your powers. Up until
recently you were powerless.  Your powers, therefore your orientation was
hidden from you. Now that they are released you will slowly receive all
aspects of you. You may even receive a special gift, like mine. Sense other
people's powers and levels. And also you'll slowly like men. Now that you
are aware of it, you may find that right now you are paying more attention
than usual to Andy. You just haven't noticed." Tyler said crossing his
arms.

After Tyler had said this everything did make some sense. He realized he
was spending more time looking at Andy, what color where his eyes how his
muscles seemed to move under his clothes. He just realized he did have a
crush on Andy.

"Well, I think that's too much for our friend to understand, so I'm gonna
leave you guys to rest. The fight I had with Kyle drained me. The sucker is
really good, and I think he was holding back on me!! Good night people!"
Andy stood up and started walking towards the tents.

"Wait!!!" Ray said standing up.

"What??" Andy said with a smile on his face as if knowing what was on Ray's
mind.

"If what you say is true, I just wanted to make a small experiment!!" Ray
said nervously.

"Sure!! I can help out!!" Andy said while he walked towards Ray.

Andy stopped right in front of Ray. The height difference was really
noticeable. Andy was a great deal taller than Ray. He slowly approached Ray
and kissed him with passion. Ray could feel his heart racing.  He could
feel Andy heats radiating from his body. Andy's lips where soft but very
firm. Blood was rushing quickly through Ray's veins. He felt lightheaded.

When Andy finished the kiss, Ray immediately started missing the touch of
his lips against Andy.

"I hope that helped clear your mind. I know it helped me!! Good night baby!
I'll see you tomorrow!"

Andy then walked to his tent. Ray just stood there in awe. He moved his
hand towards his lips where he could still feel the heat from the kiss. He
didn't hear when Tyler came up from behind.

"How was it?" Tyler asked.

"Perfect!!" Were the only words Ray could come up with.

"I guess someone is not straight anymore haha!! Come on, you need to rest!!
Tomorrow you are going to train even harder!!"

That night, Ray had trouble going to sleep. He couldn't stop thinking of
Andy and that kiss. He started wondering if what he felt was just a
momentary crush or did he feel love. He had never felt like this for a girl
before. He went to bed deciding that time would decide if he was truly in
love.

. . . . . . . . . .

Ray was thinking about the day before. Still thinking in Andy when Tyler
shouted.

"Ok you can rest now!!" Tyler told Ray bringing him back from his
daydreaming.

Ray stood up and immediately felt a great difference in his feet, they felt
extremely light.

"You are feeling it right?"

"Yeah!! What happened?"

"Those are special type of weights. They specifically focus on one type of
muscle, that's why you didn't feel them extremely heavy. They weren't
focusing on your muscles. Instead they were focusing in your magic
points. Making them stronger!"

"I see! What about the pushups??"

"Just for fun, hahaha. Besides you always need strength in your arms. Ok so
now we need to do this quickly before you stop feeling your legs like
that. I need you to stand right here!!" Tyler said pointing down to a spot
right next to him.

Ray did as he was told. Tyler took out a dagger and threw it about ten feet
away.  It dug perfectly on the ground.

"Do you see where the dagger fell? I need you to focus completely in that
place. You are going to close your eyes, picture that location in your mind
and "run" so to say." Tyler said making the quotes gesture when he said
run.

"What do you mean "Run"?"

"I'll explain it once you try it. You will know what I mean. Remember focus
on the point and please try to stop and that point. If not you are going to
hit yourself with that tree. I'm going to laugh really really hard!!"

Ray tried not to laugh too, but it was funny. He closed his eyes and did as
Tyler told him. As soon as he placed one foot after the other he could feel
he wasn't really running but he could feel the velocity in which he was
going. He opened his eyes in time to see a tree coming right in front of
him. But it was too late. There was no way he was dodging it. It all went
black after his face hit the tree. The tree won.

Ray woke up to the laughter of Tyler who was almost out of breath.

"Is it really that funny??" Ray said while he massaged his face.

"It is!! I'm sorry I'll stop!! Nobody gets it at the first try. Now what
did you feel, besides slamming your face against the tree hahaha?"

"Well, thank you for the heads up!! You were right when you said it wasn't
running! It felt completely different. It seemed as if I was in a hole and
I was flying to my destination. It's really really difficult to explain."
Ray said scratching his head in confusion.

"You are right, it is not running. As a matter of fact, you are "jumping"
so to say. It's actually an inter- dimensional jump. You are literally
flying from one point of this dimensional plane to another. But our jump is
limited. It's not like we can jump from here to the other side of the
world. It's a more short distance leap."

"Woow that sounds cool!!" Ray said amazed. "So anybody else besides
assassins can do that?"

"Some very rare Mages can do that. My brother is one, and I'm pretty sure
your friend Dylan will be able to do it. No known shape shifter can do
it. So technically it's just us assassins." Tyler laughed. "Ok now stand up
and let's try it again. This time try and stop before you get to the
tree!!"

Ray stood up and walked to the starting point. There, he got in position.

"Try this, one second before you jump turn on your focused view. This will
give you more control over your path and speed. Then when you want to stop
make sure you place your feet firm on the ground.  That will help you
stop." Tyler said giving Ray a small tap of confidence in his shoulder.

Ray tried once again just like Tyler said. He closed his eyes and
focused. He could feel his breathing slowing down and his heart rate going
down. He could feel everything around him. The birds flying high above him,
some squirrels in a distant tree. Time slowed down for him. That's when he
knew he was in Focused View. He opened his eyes and even the sight had
changed. He could see even more colors. He had found out that is useful
when looking for hidden enemies because certain colors give them away.

When he was ready, he "jumped" or "ran". He was still confused on the
term. This time was completely different from what he experienced the first
time. He felt control over his speed and direction.  Everything around his
was a blur but the finishing point was there and very visible. He knew he
could easily stop there. And he did it.

"Well done!! I almost expected you to hit against the tree one more
time. What did you experience?"

"Control. I had no problem seeing my destination, and stopping when I
wanted."

"Excellent! Let's try some more. Let's go all the way to the top of that
hill.  You will have to do "jump" two times in order to get there. Remember
right now your distance is limited. Try it now; I'll wait for you over
there." Tyler said quickly disappearing.

"Ok, here we go!!" Ray said while he focused. Even quicker this time he
jumped tree times and in a second he was on top of the hill.

"Excellent well done!! Let's try going back!! Try and see if you can go
back in fewer jumps, maybe two.  Try to expand you sight limit. Focus!!"

He jumped back and was surprised to find out he did it only in two jumps.

"Astounding! How are your legs feeling??"

"Right now, they are feeling good. Why? What will happen?" Ray ask worried.

"Nothing, it's just that a normal assassin would only be able to jump 3
times on his first day. Then their legs would literally become useless for
a day. And you have made 7 and are still feeling fine. Let's try and figure
out what your limit is. Shall we?"

Ray only nodded; he was too worried to say anything. Did he just say his
legs would become useless for a day? Was he going to be paralyzed waist
down? Where is Andy right now? Is he still sleeping? Ray had asked Tyler
before and he had answered that he was still sleeping. Normally he would be
up already but the fight with Kyle had drained him. And it wasn't that
every single time that he fought he slept later, but shape shifter had to,
once in a while, "mini-hibernate". Ray realized how much Tyler liked to use
those quotes on top of words.  He snapped out when Tyler starting calling
his name.

"This is going to be a long day" Ray thought.

. . . . . . . . .

(Back at the other side of the camp)

"Attack!!!" Kyle shouted.

Dylan immediately created a shadow ball in one hand and with ease threw it
with great speed towards Kyle.

They had figured out a way for Dylan to manipulate shadow. They started by
creating something that Dylan already knew how to use. The shadow he used
to cover his swords. They found out that he could create the shadow
material and practically manipulate it in different forms. Shields, swords,
even small projectiles. They even figured a way to use his own shadow to do
this.

Kyle knew for sure that this was not Dylan's full power. As a matter of
fact this may be just the weakest of his spells. But he thought he could
make him practice this and then try and figure out something else.  For now
this had to do.

"Create a shield!!" Kyle commanded before creating a fire spell.

Dylan quickly created a shield that covered his entire body. The shield was
strong enough to withstand the full power of a fire spell. When the attack
had finished, Dylan morphed the shadow shield into a sword, and quickly
went to attack Kyle.

Kyle wasn't expecting this quick recovery but he managed to stop the
attack. He realized that Dylan's speed was always faster when he used a
shadow weapon, meaning that his power came from the shadow itself.

In an unexpected movement, just as Kyle's sword was going to make contact
with Dylan's shadow katana, this weapon shrunk in size. The unexpected
movement threw off Kyle's balance and Dylan quickly moved so he was behind
Kyle and placed the sword, that now was a dagger, in Kyle's throat.

"You learn quickly!!" Kyle said while laughing. "But not quick enough!"

Suddenly Kyle started melting, revealing that this was just a copy. This
was the second time that Kyle did this spell. And just as the first time
Dylan was confused, he had repeated the movements in his head and there is
no way that Kyle had made a swap. But he had no time to dwell more on the
matter. He felt his hands being tied and a knife pricking dangerously at
his ribs.

"Never take your eyes off your opponent!!" Kyle whispered to Dylan's ear.

"I'm sure I kept my eyes on you the whole time!!" Dylan struggled to speak
as he was starting to feel a little dizzy from overusing his powers.

  "You didn't, I can feel your eyes looking at me, and I know that second
you divert your gaze from me."

"Can you please let me go?" Dylan said weakly.

"What? You don't like me holding you like this?"

Dylan thought about that for a second, the way he was being held wasn't the
same as he was at the beginning. The knife had disappeared, and now it was
just Kyle holding Dylan tightly. Dylan would be lying if he said he didn't
like the way he was being held.

"Maybe!! But the truth is I feel like I'm about to pass out."

"Oops sorry!" Kyle said as he let go of Dylan.

"It's ok; it's just my head, its spinning a bit."

"I may have been a little bit hard on you today, but look at the great
progress that we have made. Today in the morning you had no idea how to use
your shadow." Kyle said giving a Dylan a gentle rub on the back.

"I know thanks. I'm going to be a better student I promise!"

"Oh no!! You are already the best student I've ever had!! And you've only
been my student for a day!"

"Now that you've mentioned that, how many students have you had?" Dylan
asked.

Kyle thought of that for a minute.

"I've had around 10 students!' Kyle said.

"Wooow that's the first time I hear that someone who is not a master have
that many students!"

"Haha you've got that right! I'm not even supposed to have one student. But
the truth is I could've been a Master long time ago."

"So why aren't you one?" Dylan asked curious about the subject.

"Let's just say I have problems following orders hahaha!! One of the things
a Master must be is obedient.  And I sometimes don't follow orders. Not
because I'm evil and kill people but mostly cause sometimes I don't see why
I should do it. Or even sometimes I feel strongly that I should do
something even if it gets me in trouble."

"So you've got in trouble for sticking up to what you believe is right?"

"Yeah exactly. And other times it's just me being stubborn hahaha, but
mostly the first part. Like for example if the council had not chosen you
for training, I would've jumped and pleaded for your acceptance."

"You would've done that? Why?"

"Cause I can see how much potential you have. No other participant had your
level in fight and brains.  Not to mention looks!!" Kyle said winking at
Dylan.

"Awww are you hitting on me?" Dylan asked playfully.

"I've been doing it since the first time we met! There is just this little
voice in my head saying 'Kyle why in the world haven't you made the first
step'. And I answer back 'Shut up, what if he's not interested.'  Cause
honestly I've never felt before the things I feel for you." Kyle said
getting a little closer to Dylan.

"Like what feelings?"

"I look at you, and suddenly I can't breathe. And at the same time a desire
to have you. To protect you.  To guide you. To be the one you want to talk
to when something funny happens to you. Or the one you run to when you feel
you need shelter."

"Those are beautiful words!" Dylan said kindly and softly.

"And yet they make no justice to how I feel about you!" Kyle said leaning
towards Dylan.

Dylan was a little surprised when Kyle leaned over him and started kissing
him. He could feel tenderness in the kiss. He started kissing back. In that
moment, time stopped for Dylan. He could feel this was the place he wanted
to be. Kyle moved one of his hands to the back on Dylan's head and gently
played with his hair. They separated momentarily to catch some breath but
Dylan immediately regretted the movement. He moved again to kiss Kyle, this
time with more passion.

Slowly they started to lie down on the grass. Kyle on top of Dylan. Dylan's
hands where touching Kyle's back and feeling the strong muscles he
had. Kyle couldn't seem to stop himself. He wanted every bit of Dylan as
possible. Their hearts where pounding so hard they could feel each other's
heart beats.

None of them wanted that perfect moment to end. But that perfect moment had
to wait. Because something unexpected was about to happen.
