Memory Remains (OPEN)

So, it seemed that plenty of people were still pouring into this world from their own. Though would they accept everything like some of the others had? It was a little much for anyone to be pulled from their homes to a random place, and then to be told that they were called here for a fight? It was certainly a bit much for some to deal with that was for sure. However, she was one of the ones that took it head on and agreed to help. It would save many lives and it would help that many more if they were able to stop all of this and return things to a peaceful state. Besides, getting into fights and battles was something that she had been training herself for for quite a long time. Thousands of years. And even more so in the recent years because of her past.

Though coming to this place, meeting certain people and actually trying to get out and see things, it was all helping her make new memories, better ones that could drown out the bad that she had been carrying around with her for so many years. Namely one of the meetings was with a rather nice and big and mature ice dragon that she was getting rather close to. Of course she had to talk him into it, or rather she had to be stubborn and make him see that she didn't care what would happen, she wanted to give it a chance. A chance to be happy again was something that she didn't want to pass up. And thus far it had been working rather well. At least for her it had been. Though because of all of this she had regained a fire within herself, a drive to keep getting stronger and more fit. She had wallowed in sorrow for too long.

As was her usual day, she would wake up and get things ready for breakfast, cook something up for the two of them, grab a shower or bath after the meal and then she would make her way through the city and down to the beach. She would always train at the beach because it was well enough away from the people and she wouldn't run the risk of hurting anyone if she decided to get serious with it. Then again she had never gotten to that point with it. Going full dragon to do a bit of training would be a little bit of overkill. She would only use that form if something was seriously threatening either the city, the people within the city or those that she wishes to protect. That and she didn't like going into her full dragon form because of how huge she was like that. She took up so much space and then there was the off chance some of the monster hunters would come after her, and that wouldn't be good for anyone.

So now, she was making her way through the city, her staff weapon resting on her shoulders as her arms were draped over the staff itself. Though this time she noticed there were black feathers on the ground and then when the wind caught them they would dance around in the air. watching this she would smile a bit and watch the little ones trying to grab some of them. Shaking her head a bit the smile faded a little and then she continued on her way to the beach. Though once there she found someone else that was already there. Something that she didn't see a lot of, and thus she stood back and watched, watched and waited to see what this young man was going to do. Then again he could only appear to be a young man, couldn't be too sure in this place after all with the gods and the like.

Shortly after getting there though, she was spotted, or rather the other person knew she was there, and when they spoke to her she blinked a bit and tilted her head. The biting remark caused her to laugh softly to herself as she slowly went over to him and looked him over and at the book for a moment. "Well, out of the two of us I think I would be the one that is more than likely to bite someone. But that's only if they push me too much. I didn't mean to be rude or anything, just not used to other people being out here to practice and train. I usually come down here every day. Suppose if you'd like I can help you practice and everything. And don't worry, I'm much tougher than I look."

With those words she grinned a bit and because of that her fangs could be seen as she then looked around a bit and then back to the young male. Should be more than enough area around here to practice with someone else. Well that is if he was interested. If not she could just move further down the beach and get to her usual thing. Though it would be a bit better to actually train with someone else for a change. But it wasn't something that she would force onto the other person. After all she wasn't too sure just who this person was or what the book they had was. She was just offering to help to be nice.

There wasn't much that could be done, or rather there wasn't much that she could do for this male to help him remember anything. Unless of course his body some how remembered some of his combat experiences and through the sparring and fighting she could get his body to react on its own to make sure he stays out of danger or something. It could be possible, after all the body tends to like keeping itself out of harm's way. But that would mean that she would have to take the kid gloves off and actually get serious with all of this. And that was the part that didn't sit too well with her. However...Perhaps that is what this male needed. A push, a shove. Something to get things going in his mind again.

"I'm going to do something to try and help you get back into shape. From what you're saying, about having things to teach people I would guess you're one of the Gods or something of that nature. I only know that much because I joined up with The Goddess of Light. If it's just your mind that has forgotten, perhaps your body will remember better. So I'm going to push you to see if that is the case. But don't worry, if you are a god I doubt I could do too much to you. And we can stop whenever you wish. Alright?" She then offered a smile to the male and then jumped back a bit and spun the staff around before jamming it into the sand as she tossed her hat on the top of it and let out a soft sigh.

After that was taken care of she took off the upper layer of her clothing and placed it beside the staff, having what looked to be a backless shirt on under it, and the reason for that was going to be shown in a matter of moments. She took in a deep breath as the air around her started to heat up, and then horns grew from her forehead, dragon like wings from her back, a tail to match, and then her fangs grew longer and her nails became claws. There were also scales that were covering some of her skin and then she looked back to the male as her tail lashed at the sand a bit. As she did this there was another smile on her face, though now it was more fangy and showed more of them off as well.

"As you can see, this is why I said I'm tougher than I look. And if we can get you to remember some of your skills, or rather get your body to remember, I'll take the bow lessons as a sort of exchange. Does that sound fair to you? That way there's nothing going to waste and we both help each other. So, don't worry about being rough with the training, I'm sure I can handle it just fine. So, whenever you're ready we can start." She even gave him a bow and would wait for him to tell her that everything was alright and good to go. In fact she would remain in place until she had some sign that it was okay to start. However, once that sign had been given? She would dash across the sand toward him, already planning how to attack as she moved.

Once close enough she would actually spin around and use the force to lash at him with her tail. From that she would try to place a set of quick jabs aimed to his mid section. She didn't know what to expect with this male, so she was taking it easy at first to get a feel for how he fought and his reflexes. Of course, as they both had wings, they might even take this to the air, though he would have the advantage there, the bow and the fact that he could probably fly faster than she could would mean that the air would be his battlefield. So perhaps keeping him on the ground would be the best idea for her. Either way this was probably going to be an interesting set of moments. Then again, this was what she had been wanting for a good while. To have someone to spar with, someone that she could train with and not have to worry about doing everything on her own. As there was only so much that you could learn on your own. So in that light, this should be good for the both of them.

So far it would seem that everything was going as it should. After all this battle wasn't for her own benefit. Rather it was one to try and help this male, this god regain the use of some of his skills, to help him get ready for everything that will be coming up soon. Perhaps it wasn't her place to help him remember everything, but she wouldn't simply sit by and do nothing when she had the ability to help him. After all short of the other gods and whatnot, she was probably one of the best sparring partners there was to have. Able to take a good deal of punishment and damage before she would have to stop and that was something that would be sorely needed here it seemed. If she could get him used to combat again, that would be another one that would be ready.

Perhaps it was the fact that she was distracted in her thoughts, or perhaps it was because she wasn't expecting him to move as quickly as he did, but she was caught well off guard by how he moved, and it even caught her in the face. This caused her to slide back a bit and lick at the blood that was running from her mouth. This caused her to laugh a bit as she then took the time to play through all of the words that he had said, and she would watch him a bit. He knew that keeping her at a distance was a good idea, which was something that caused her to grin, even with the blood running from her mouth. It was good to know that one of the Gods were intelligent, that they had a thing for tactics and planning. Though this was going to make her job here a little more difficult. She didn't have too many ranged attacks that she could use.

Though, at the current moment, she spat the blood from her mouth and looked up at him for a moment. "Heh, this isn't anything. Besides, if it gets you back into action faster and lets you be ready for everything, then I can take a lot more than this. So hold nothing back. This isn't about me nor me getting anything from this. I am doing this for the sole purpose of you regaining your skills. Even if it ends in me bloody and full of arrows, just means I can take a ton of abuse from a god and still keep going." The entire time she was speaking her tail was lashing around in the sand, and as she watched him get more distance between them, tongues of flame started to dance around her body as she tried to get the distance closed again.

Though in doing so she had to get into the air to follow after him, and once she was close enough, or at least close enough at the time she charged the air around her leg and lashed out with a potent kick that caused the air to heat and burst with tiny flame bursts, knowing that she really wouldn't have too much time to do anything else This was actually going to be a little hard and while the challenge would be welcome, she wasn't sure how to handle a ranged fighter than could go airborne on top of the bow attacks and the speed. The only chance she had was to keep the distance closed, or to go full on dragon, but that would be foolish of her to do at this point because she would be a huge target at that point.

Being speedy on the ground and being speedy in the air were two very different things, and she had more of the former over the ladder. So perhaps she should stick to the ground to try and avoid the attacks? Yes, that might help, but then there was the issue of the distance again. There wasn't much she could do about that at the moment. She would have to play it smart, she would have to watch him and move in when the openings would present themselves. With that in mind she returned back to the ground and jumped back a bit, those eyes of her's fixed on the male as the flames continued to dance around her figure. This was one of the first times in a long while that she had the feeling that she -needed- to focus and actually try or something would end up wounding her.

All of this was reviving a feeling deep within herself that she thought she lost along the way. Excitement, the thrill of the fight all of it was coming back to her which caused her to grin a bit to herself, she would then lower herself to the ground a bit more, actually taking a stance that kept her low to the ground and ready to react rather quickly. After all, having practiced martial arts for so long her body was used to reacting quickly, though before the fighting got too serious she couldn't help but call out to him one more time. And really what she had to say was probably of little surprise with the way she was acting at the moment. Either way, she felt it was needed to say something about it to the male, even if he would realize it through actions.

"Heh, I haven't felt like this in years. This excitement, this rush, this thrill. I suppose I should be thanking you for giving this feeling back to me. I just hope that you don't let it go to waste and show me what a God of these worlds can do. Regardless of your mind not knowing, it seems like your body knows just what to do. So come on. Let's play a bit. A little bloodshed never hurt anyone so long as it's friendly and has a point. I can take whatever you can throw at me." And with that she made a motion with her tail at him, as if to beckon him to attack so they could get this party started for real.

Maybe this was something that was going to come back to bite her tailed ass, perhaps she really didn't understand what she was getting herself into, but at the same time, something about all of this was just...Fun. Being able to be like this, actually having someone to spar with, and on top of all of that, she was actually helping this person. Though the way she was helping them seemed to be a bit strange, it seemed to be working. Though there was just something about all of this that was causing her to let her thought roam for a moment or two. Would Ateis really be alright with this? What if the Goddess was disappointed in her for doing something like this? Well it's not like she was doing this just to be a bitch or anything, she was doing this to try and help this male.

It was then that the yelling was heard and brought her out of her thoughts, and what she saw caused her eyes to narrow a bit. That looked like it could hurt...Quite a lot if she didn't get out of the way. But then again it wouldn't be a fair judgement of it's power if she did get out of the way. But on the same token, if it does too much damage then it would cause everything to be over and done with too early. And it really seemed like she didn't have too much time to decide what to do with all of this, cause that arrow was gaining more and more power as she stood there watching. It slowly clicked with her that if she wanted to see what happens with this than she needs to return the favor, and that was what she chose to do.

In fact, the flames that were around her started to dance around her a bit more and then toward her arms and hands as a potent orb of flame started to form as she then waited and watched to see what would happen with all of this now. She seriously doubted that she would be able to overpower the attack from the God, but at least this would show how potent each attack would be. Though she already had the thought that she wasn't going to be able to stop him from doing this attack, but she wasn't one to run away from anything like this. Her pride wouldn't let her do that. So she was going to face it head on, or at least try. And as more of the energy of the flame orb was getting more and more potent. It was too late to back out of this now, so she was going to ride this out to the end.

It was a little bit of a waiting game now, waiting for him to make the move, because she would need to use her own attack to try and put a dent into his attack. Perhaps then it would be something that would be able to be withstood and not do too much to her. Then again that was probably her being a little too hopeful. If the male placed enough energy into the arrow it could easily tear through her own attack, but it was s risk that she was willing to take. It was something that needed to be done, something that she needed to see, and something that he would need to see as well. He would need to see the damage it could cause so he would know when and how to properly use the attack when the time came. After all that's what a training and sparring match was for, right? To learn.

After the charging was done, after it all came to it's point she had to let the orb fly, even if it was a bit too early. As the orb flew through the air toward the male it was causing the air around it to heat up rather quickly. Though once it impacted something, be it the attack of his, be it him, or be it the ground, it would explode into a splash damage type of attack, causing little bursts of flame to rain down. And it was rather clear that she couldn't use that attack too often, as it took a bit out of her each time. She was even breathing a little heavy at this point, but that tail of her's was still lashing around, that was a sign that she was still ready to keep going.

"Ahahah. Oh this is wonderful. I can't believe I actually had to use that as a defense...I'm curious to see what else you can do, sir God. This is the first time I've ever really fought against one of you like this. I don't want to bother Ateis to train me because I know that she is busy with other things at the moment. I'll wait until I know she's ready. So until then I'm here training myself to stay in shape. So...What next hmm? After that I'm a little afraid to see what else you might have up your sleeves. But...I won't back down now. That would be terribly rude and show bad manners. So we can keep going." And with those words she was still breathing a bit hard as the tail sways in the sand.

She knew that she couldn't use that attack that she just used for a good while. So hopefully she wouldn't need to use it at all. If she did need it she had already lost this, and well she already knew she wouldn't get very far. After all, she was fighting a god, someone that had so much power. And even if he didn't remember everything, his body did and he was slowly getting back in touch with his power. So all in all she was doing something good for him. Even if it meant that she was going to be exhausted in the end of this. But all in all it would be worth it. Now she just needed to last that long...
