"Please call me Andy. Kyle told me you've never met or fought a shape shifter. I'm here to change both of those problems. We are gonna have some fun!!" . . . . . . . "Am I really going to fight a real live shape shifter? Without any prior knowledge??" Dylan asked worried. "Well, you did say you were ready to fight ANY Magical Being you faced! It could've been a shape shifter! Who knows?" Kyle said, making a really good point. "Yeah!! Besides it's not like I'm gonna go all deadly on you!!" Andy said giving Dylan a small punch to the shoulder. "I'm not sure about this!!" Dylan said raising his hands in defense and backing up a bit. "Hahaha, ok!! Tell you what, I'll fight him first. You will observe what I do. What kind of spells I do, even If you can't perform them. Then after I'm done, it's your turn, that way you will know what to expect. Deal?" Kyle said with a lot of confidence and raised his hand waiting for Dylan to shake it. Dylan thought it for a few seconds. "That's better than nothing" he thought. "OK, lets do this then!" Dylan said shaking hands with Kyle. Andy got all excited and fist pumped the air. "It's been ages since I've fought you. You think you can handle this?" Andy said showing of his body. "I've done it before haven't I?" Kyle answered walking away from the camp to an open space. The field was perfect for a fight; it was very flat with grass. It had some trees but not that it would get in the way of the fight. Kyle and Andy got in position one in front of the other a couple of feet apart. Andy started to remove his shirt. Dylan was right, he was in great shape. Very toned body, and great definition. His tanned skin really highlighted his muscles. "Are you really going to show off your muscles? People are staring now!!" Kyle said looking at Dylan and gave him a smile and a small nod, just to show him he was just kidding. "Im not showing off, I really like that shirt, I don't want to rip it apart." Andy turned and addressed Dylan "You think I should take my pants off too? They really are nice right? It would be a shame if I were to destroy them." Dylan just blushed a little at the idea, and smiled to himself, not really knowing what to answer. Luckily he didn't have to answer because Kyle interrupted. "Leave them on!! I may get distracted!! Now let's do this, I got a student to teach and an old friend to beat." "Hahaha, let's do this then!!!" . . . . . . . . . . . (*) Andy got into position and Kyle, out of nowhere, again, had a whip as a weapon. Not the chain whip he used to fight Dylan, a normal whip. Andy began the fight, he ran towards Kyle. Dylan thought it was a horrible mistake. He had seen Kyle's fighting and even at normal speed it was pretty good. But he immediately saw why Andy decided to attack. Andy's attack was extremely fast. Even in his human form, he was really good. Andy threw a punch at Kyle, but he managed to parry it. Very quickly they exchanged blows and kicks. Interestingly enough Kyle had not extended his whip. He kept it rolled up in his hand. To create some space between them, with his free hand, Kyle created some fire and created some around him. The fire just floated around him. This forced Andy to withdraw. "Things just got interesting, Mage!" Andy said. Andy breathed in deeply and all of a sudden his body started to shiver. And with a great growl he quickly transformed into a werewolf. His transformation was not brutal like Dylan expected it to be. Besides one or two bones that cracked, his transformation was very natural and quick. Now instead of a 5'11" man stood a 6'10" werewolf. It had very short dark brown fur that covered all of his body. His muscle tone also had increased a lot. Quickly this new "Andy" started running towards Kyle, who curiously, didn't seem afraid at all. Andy jumped against Kyle and reached out his paw with all those sharp claws, but they just went through Kyle. Without making any harm. For a second the giant wolf was confused but he attacked again, just to find the same result. Then "ghost" Kyle disappeared. It was a decoy. After realizing this, Andy stopped and started sniffing the air. Very quickly he found the real Kyle who was a couple of feet away. Kyle had the whip ready but with his other hand he was holding the tip of it. He had a smile on his face. "Surprise!!" Kyle said and after that he blew the tip of the whip and a small fire started in it. When Kyle started waving the whip to attack, the whole whip was devoured by the flames. He quickly attacked with it, and every time the whip hit the floor and great amount of fire would burn the grass. This seemed to confuse Andy, but he quickly recovered, and decided to attack full on. In a quick movement, Kyle managed to grab Andy by the leg, and with a great amount of power he lifted him up and threw the werewolf across the field. Andy stood up and it appeared that he received a pretty bad burn in his leg. But he healed almost immediately. Now he was mad. More quickly than ever, he ran towards Kyle, who didn't expect such a quick recovery. Kyle decided to try and grab him with the whip one more time. But as soon as he sent the attack he knew it was not going to work. Instead of avoiding the attack, Andy just grabbed the whip mid-air, and before Kyle could react, he pulled from it, dragging Kyle with it. When Kyle was in close range, Andy went all attack on him. Kyle was overwhelmed by the attacks. He tried defending himself but Andy was both too strong and too fast. In an attempt to balance the equation, Kyle used a thunder spell. This spell covered his hands in electrical currents that were visible. This gave Kyle greater speed and strength in his hands. But he didn't use them on time. Andy quickly overpowered him and with a great punch sent Kyle flying towards a rock. Kyle hit the rock hard. Dylan, afraid that Kyle was gravely injured, ran towards him. "Leave him alone, he is not dead" Dylan heard the message clearly in his mind, as if someone was speaking to him from inside his head. He turned towards Andy with great confusion. "Yeap, it's me. Kyle placed this spell on me because when I'm in beast form I can't speak. This way I can communicate. Now, don't worry about him, he is fine. His heart is still beating." Right on time for Dylan to believe it, Kyle started standing up. His right leg was broken and was cut and bruised all over. Some of his clothes were ripped off because of Andy's claws. "You jerk; you killed one of my lives. Ouch, it hurts all over!" Kyle said while he relocated his leg. It just snapped into position like it was just dislocated. His healing ability was astounding. He raised one of his hands and placed it in front of his face which had some scratches. When he removed it they were gone. Dylan just stood there amazed by his awesome ability to regenerate. "You are going to pay for that!!!" Kyle said. Andy just seemed to laugh at that comment and stood in fighting position again. This time he started changing. He transformed into something smaller. His fur changed into a more yellow color and some black spots. Dylan recognized him as being a cheetah. The second Kyle recognized the new form he immediately did two things. He looked up at the sky and raised his hand and pointed to the sky. The sky very quickly got dark and full of thunders. And second he started chanting a spell. Placing his hands in front of him, he started mumbling to himself the spell. At an incredible speed Andy ran towards Kyle. Dylan knew that there was nothing Kyle could do to stop him. He had to use an orb or a spell of some sort. Just at that moment an orb appeared in front of Kyle. Dylan had no idea what kind it was. But it was not an orb. Kyle quickly grabbed the ball with a great amount of pressure. Dylan realized it was spinning very fast and what Kyle was doing, was slowing it down. Then Dylan saw Andy slowing down. It was extremely cool seeing Andy in slow motion. By now he was almost in front of Kyle. Andy had his claws extended and he finally came to a stop, just a few inches from Kyle's face. "This is my chance." Kyle said. He extended his hands and suddenly two lightning bolts descended from the sky and connected with his hands. He closed his hands together and created an orb with the lighting. He crushed it and soon his clothes started to change but apparently not fast enough. Andy started moving, and all of a sudden he was back to full speed. Because of the great impact that Andy's attack made, a great amount of debris and dust was floating around them, making Dylan's visibility almost nil. Slowly the debris disappeared and there stood the cheetah Andy and also a really cool looking Kyle. Kyle dodged the attack right after he changed. His hair had changed into a very spiky style and there some subtle blue highlights on it. His eyes had changed to an electric blue. His clothes where blue and very tight to his body. His hands held two small curved swords. "Now the odds are even my friend !!" Kyle said with a smirk. Quickly Kyle started attacking. His movements were lightning fast! Andy's movement were just as quick. He did all he could to dodge the attacks of the swords! Dylan had a lot of difficulty watching them fight! They were unbelievably rapid. But he focused and thought of a small trick to allow him to see the fight a lot slower. Whenever he could Andy would try and attack Kyle with his claws. Dylan was absolutely sure that if Andy landed one of these attacks he would rip off a lot of flesh with it. Cheetah Andy was very agile. He had a strange ability to bend his body in impossible ways. For example, to dodge an attack he bent completely backwards touching the floor with his hands and with just the same ease he raised his feet to hit Kyle. Kyle was always ready for Andy's next attack. Managing to defend against it and also to counterattack it. There were times where Kyle would send small lightning bolts in the direction of Andy. But he managed to summersault out of the way. After some attacks, Kyle decided to attack differently. Both swords disappeared from his hands and instead he was building a lightning bolt in each hand. In a very fast movement Kyle released all of the lightning bolts into Andy who had no chance of dodging the attack. When Andy received the impact of the lightning his body was sent flying to a tree. Almost at the same time, Kyle's lightning bolts disappeared. But that didn't stop him from making another spell. He knelt and touched the ground. "You who are the one who keeps this world together. With your roots you keep the world from falling apart. Restrain the shifter with your thousand arms." Then the tree in which Andy had landed started moving, and with its leafs, the tree started restraining Andy. The grip that the tree was using seemed unbelievably strong. Kyle hadn't moved from his place and started another spell. " I summon the army of hundreds. Grant me stone guardians. With the rock on which the great Lainz sat. The powerful stone guardians I want. The powerful stone guardians I shall receive." The ground started rumbling. And slowly five huge stone figures rose from the ground. They were completely different from Dylan's summon. This had a lot more human shape and characteristics. And they were each wearing a different weapon. From a spear to a longsword and a maze to a katana. The last one had a double-edged sword in each hand. Each one of them was also slightly different in appearance. Dylan was confused. He though Kyle had already won, having Andy trapped in a tree. "Why are you summoning? Didn't you win already??" "Not yet!" Shape shifters are very tricky. Once you think you've beaten them, they come one last time with their most powerful form. It is his turn to move!" Kyle answered and motioned his hand in Andy's direction. Sure enough Andy was slightly shaking. "Right now he is unconscious and his body is automatically changing him. Turning him first into his human form and then back to his last form. Take a mental note of this. Whenever a shape- shifter takes a long time to change you will know two things. First, more time changing means more powerful form. And second, shape shifters are more vulnerable in the middle of their shift. That's why many train to shift faster even if it means a weaker form." "But why is he doing that so slowly?" Dylan asked. "Because he is unconscious. Andy's shifts are the fastest and cleanest I have ever seen. But right now he is at his weakest point. If this was a real life or death fight, this would be the moment to attack!" Just in that moment Andy woke up and just like Kyle said he had no problem changing into his final form. Dylan saw Andy ripping the vines that before were holding him like steel. "What in the world is THAT??" Dylan asked as he saw an enormous beast standing up. Standing up was an enormous beast, at least 7 feet tall. And just as bulky. It was pure muscles. He had two horns sticking out from his skull and they were pointing directly to the front. Dylan could even see his breath emanating from his nostrils. The feeling that this beast gave was of pure evil. Dylan was very scared. "That's his final form! It is the famous Minotaur. But its two times bigger than the last time I fought against him. He's gotten good!!" "Last time you fought? How long was that?" "Fifteen years, give or take a few years! But we'll talk about that later. I need lots of concentration for this last seal." He created a thin metal bar out of thin air and buried it on the ground. He then moved a couple of steps backwards. Again he took out his chain whips. Dylan started thinking this were his favorite weapon. In the tip of the whips where two hooks. No cutting weapon this time. Andy started running towards Kyle. He was very slow compared to his cheetah form. But once he gained momentum it seemed nothing could stop him. Kyle's stone warriors where ready to attack. In one powerful movement, Andy completely destroyed the first warrior. The punch was so strong the stone warrior fell like it was made of sand. It gave absolutely no resistance against Andy's powerful fist. Two of the remaining four warriors ran to each of Andy's side and attacked from there. But again Andy tore them apart like they were just paper. This was the first time Dylan had ever seen such a powerful shape shifter destroy a stone summon so easily. Not to mention five legendary stone warriors. "Merge!!" Kyle shouted to his last two stone warriors. He knew that they had no chance against Andy, but decided to unite them, maybe that would gain him some precious seconds. The last two warriors made a move that surprised Dylan. They ran towards each other and started combining. After they had finished, there stood a much taller version of a warrior. It had four arms. This time when Andy tried to body slam it the Stone warrior managed to stop it in its tracks. Holding Andy firmly from his horns. With one of this free arms the summon landed a clean punch to Andy's head. This seemed to momentarily disorient Andy, but not for long. This time, when Andy's body slammed the Stone Warrior, he was ready. Once the Warrior grabbed Andy's horns, he quickly punched the warrior in the abdomen. Completely shattering it. Kyle was ready when this happened. His stance was of complete calm and concentration. His eyes had even changed colour. They were glowing in a shade of blue. Dylan realized that Kyle's clothing had changed a bit. It had changed from a dark navy hue to a completely grey outfit. His hair had also changed to a dark-grey shade. Andy started running towards Kyle. He was running very fast, it seemed his momentum had completely reached its top. Just a second before Andy completely ran him with his horns, Kyle jumped out of the way and with a very quick movement he threw the whips in Andy's way and attached both hooks in each horn. He pulled himself on top of Andy and all of a sudden blue electric currents could be seen emanating from the whips. The electrical currents were strong enough to paralyse Andy. While Andy was still recovering from the electrical shock Kyle jumped to the ground and grabbed hold of the small stick that he had buried in the ground. "Diamond trap!!" He yelled and a loud boom was heard from inside the ground followed by a strong rumbling from under the ground. A circle started glowing under Andy and immediately after, diamond made walls started rising from the ground creating a dome over Andy. Kyle let out a loud sigh and slowly stood up. He faced Dylan. "That took longer than expected!!" he laughed, but Dylan could see he wasn't feeling good. It was even more obvious when he tripped while walking towards Dylan. "Are you alright?" Dylan ran to Kyle, and slowly picked him up. "Yeah I'm fine. I'm just tired. Earth based spells and traps take a lot of your stamina. And even more this diamond trap. It may look really simple but it's a long process." "Do you mean that it started since you placed that metal stick on the ground?" "Yeap, and since that moment it started draining my powers building the diamond trap for me. I'll teach you how to do that but with other spells. Don't worry!!" "Sooooo are you just gonna leave him there?" Dylan joked with Kyle pointing to Andy who was already in his human form and just sitting down waiting. "As fun as that would be, it can get pretty cold inside that trap and he is naked!" Kyle pointed out to Dylan who hadn't realized that until now. Andy's body had not one ounce of fat. Dylan could know that Andy spent a lot of time training. He had extremely well defined muscles. He had an impresive 5 inch soft cock. "Trap release!!" Kyle said and the diamond trap surrounding Andy shattered, releasing him. He stood up exposing his soft cock to Dylan. Dylan just stood there speechless, looking at this hot man, and didn't realize Andy was standing right in front of him with a smirk on his face. "Is this the first cock you've ever seen?" Andy joked. Dylan was dumbstruck, he had totally spaced out in front of Andy. Now he was blushing and finally found his voice. "Not at all!!" Dylan answered "It totally is!!" Andy came closer to Dylan and whispered into his ear "Wanna play with it?" Kyle cleared his throat at that comment. A little too strong to be normal. Andy just turned to Kyle and he immediately knew he had done something wrong. Kyle's face expression was a not approving one. "What??" Andy asked honestly. "Ohhhhh I get it!! Umm I should go to Tyler's camp and see how they are doing! And get some clothes! I'm sorry. I'll see you later Dylan." He backed a few steps and turned towards Tyler's camp. "I'm sorry for his behaviour. Shape shifters tend to be a little forward on sex matters!! Did he make you uncomfortable?" Kyle got closer to Dylan. His voice was low and showed a lot of concern. Dylan laughed a bit about Kyle's concern. "I'm alright. I just didn't see it coming. That was an amazing fight. From what I could understand, depending on the shift that's how you decide how to attack?" Dylan tried to change the conversation. Kyle knew what he was trying to do and smiled. "Yeah, exactly. Their wolf form is pretty much a very balanced form. Its fast and strong. His cheetah form is on the faster side. His attacks are a lot less powerful. And as you saw his Minotaur form is all strength. It's not really fast but once it gains momentum it's difficult to stop him." "So are those the only forms?' Dylan asked. "Not by far, those are not even Andy's only forms. Some have to up to 7 forms. Underwater and flying creatures too." Kyle saw up to the sky and noticed it was already sunset. The landscape was beautiful. The light from the sun played with the trees and the hills creating beautiful colors. "It's getting late. We should head to the camp!" Kyle said. They walked together continue talking about the fight. When they were in the camp Dylan faced Kyle. "I have a question to ask you." Dylan said. "Sure! Ask." "Why was Andy all nervous after you cleared your throat just a few minutes ago? It seemed you guys had your own silent conversation." "Im going to be honest with you. We did have a silent conversation." "A telepathic conversation." "Yeap, exactly. He was being way too pushy on you. You seemed unprepared. I kinda felt protective of you." Kyle answered as they sat on the logs around the campfire, which had lit itself when they got close to it. (*) "You worry about me?" Dylan asked blushing "I do. Since the moment I saw you on the arena. I could feel your nervousness, but I could also feel yours strong desire to win the battle. For yourself for your parents, for your friend. I could realize in that moment that you had a beautiful heart. And when the council called me in to announce the winner of the choosing and seeing you walk through the doors, my heart just leapt of joy." By now Dylan had a small tear in his cheek and Kylee moved his hand to dry the tear. "You were feeling so depressed, you thought you hadn't made it. I wanted to tell you soo bad. Then the council announced that I would be your trainer I almost lost it. I was very happy. I am willing to be your trainer. Teach you all that I know. Because I care for you. I want you to succeed. It won't be easy. You being a shadow mage makes it more complicated." "What do you mean, more complicated?" Dylan asked confused. "Well to begin with, I'm not a shadow mage. I can't teach you spells that I don't know. We will have to search for the shadow scroll. But you know what; we will talk about this tomorrow. I know it's still kinda early but it's been a long day." He stood up and extended his hand to Dylan who grabbed it and stood up. Dylan did something unexpected. He hugged Kyle. "Thank you!!" he whispered. "What for?" "For understanding, for caring, for teaching me even though it will be hard. You already are a big support in my life and I really hope things work out." "You are welcome. Ummm I will see you tomorrow." Because they were still hugging Kyle just had to move his head a little bit to give a gently kiss in the Dylan's cheek. 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. . . . . . . . . . Well that was chapter 3.
