Liz sat in the saddle pretty much holding on for dear life at the moment. Liz had never really had a trainer before this moment and she was kinf of scared. She and Gladiator had been teaching themelsve a lot of stuff, but there was little improvement wihtout someone to teach them. Liz had tried experimenting with magic, but really she needed someone to teach her. The one thing that she had really learnt to do well was fly. There was no way she was falling off of the black dragon.
A black blur whipped through the sky looping through the air. He had a habbit of doing that sort of thing. Then he swooped downwards unexpectingly and grabbed some prey off the ground hovering in the air for a moment before hitting the ground ang beggining to eat.
Liz slid from the dragons back grabbed an apple out of her bag and leaned against his black scaly sides and began to eat with him waiting for who ever was going to teach them to arrive.

A roar was heard and then a black blurr swept down and landed infront of them. Komi lept off and put up her white sword. Komi smiled and gave a nod of hello. She looked at the dragon. "I am Komi and this is Shadow." she said. Shadow gave a growl/purr noise. The dragon sat down knowing training would begin soon.

Liz smiled as she saw someone approach them. She knew he must be the trainer they had come to meet. "I am Liz," she said pating the nech of the great beast next to her, "And this is Gladiator," the girl spoke to the blaack monster threw the well developed connection the had formed. this could be interesting said Liz only to be replied by a Maybe
The black dragon spit fire out of his nostrils. He wasn't very trusting, and he didn't like knowing the other pair were stronger then them. Though he and Liz had not been trined, they were obviously strong. He was a dragon and she was his rider. He didn't like the thought of being weakier then another.

"Well what do you know and how good are you at fighting" she said quickly. Koi expected a reply quickly. She was firm and easy at times. But in training she was serious. Shadow was akward. He could act like a dark dragon with care or no care. He is hard to explain and things that don't seem normal for him are. He sent out a low growl. And looked at Komi.

LIz thought about the question for a moment, "We don't know much," the teenager admitted looking at her Dragon and best friend. "See, we have never really had anyone to teach us," she continuede now looking right next to the person the had flown so far to meet. Liz and Gladiator came from a peaceful village if you could even all it that. They came from right outside a tiny town, so basically, they came from the middle of no where.
Liz had grown up in a place that was off the map, there was basically nobody with much interest in fighting, and paticualarly not in teaching a young girl how to do so. So, pretty much the only things they knew they had tought themselves. "Everything we know, we've tought ourselves" said Liz, "And that is pretty much focusing on some flying manuvers we have found written down some places, we've managed to get that pretty well,"

"How good can you fight and ride your Dragon?" she said. "Do you have a saddle for your dragon?'' she spoke quickly wanting a respond. Shadow stood up and walked foreward. He showed the saddle and sat down. His black coal eyes looking at everyone.

"We're not so great at fighting," said Liz smiling, "But in the air we make a great team," she continued patting the black scales of Gladiator who shifted his black wings slightly. "And yes, we do have a saddle,"Liz had managed to aquire one rather ecently, "But we can fly without it," before she found the black stone that hatched into Gladiator Liz had been superb with horses, it made the transition to riding Gladiator all the easier. The saddle taht rested on Gladiator's back was molded yet light.

"you can't really ride without a saddle you can slip from your dragon" she warned her. "Well grab a stick" she said pointing to a pile. Komi wlaked over and grabed one. There was a row of nearby dummys. She walked over to them expecting Liz to do the same.

"You can do a little without a saddle," said LIz rising from her seat and grabbing a seat and walking over to the trainer. To might not be able to do any fancy manuvers, but if you had a good seat there was some thay you could do, it might not be easym but it was possible. Liz knew from experaince, she had learnt to fly for the first time without one.

"okay now there are basically three affected spots to hit besides the heart. Heart is only if you want to kill. Which in war you will on some." she told her. She hit the heaad hard with the stick. "The head is the first. It can make someone unconsis or dizzy"she hit the stomach and gut area. "Stomach slash gut spot is the next. It can also knock someone out or spill blood.Or make them pause long enough for you to attack again.'' she whacked the legs. "the legs can knock a person off their feet if you hit hard enough." she said. "Everywhere else may have an affect or not." she smiled. Shadow flew off to go hunting.

Liz listened to Komi and then nodded to show she understood, "Head, stomach legs," she repeated fiddligng with her grip on the stick. She had never been interested i nfighting, she always had been more of a peace activist, but really, with the war coming, they needed all the help they could get. And with Gladiator by her side she could deffinitly help. Speakinf of Gladiator by her side the great besat followed Shadow to go try and find more food.....

"I want you to practice hitting the dummy and dodging to like he is attacking back" she said and starting hitting. Her stick smacking the stomach then legs the head. And other places too. She would jump up in the air or duck. Shadow found a deer eating out in the open. He dove down and snapped it up before it could run off. He growled seeing Gladiator.

Gladiator growled back at the other Dragon as Liz started hitting the dummy. Fist the head, then the legs, and lastly the stomach. She continued hitting other areas and dodging to the side every so often. She was pretty bad, but not as bad as she thought she would be. Through he connection with Gladiator she could see the ground rocketining towards he as a deer lost it's life.

Shadows teeth clamped onto the deer. Bones cracked between the silence. He tossed it up in the air and snatched it back. Gobling it back down. He gave a small roar and stared at the black dragon before him. Komi started hitting faster shejumped up andshot her feet at the dummy. Then pushed and did a back-flip. She wacked the head and ducked to the left and smacked the legs. She yelled to Liz "Give it more POWER" she told her. She had to hit harder.

Liz consented and began to hit harder. She brought the stick back and continued to hit the dummy as hard as possible. Liz made a metle note, holding hard ont sticks leaves splinters. As this was going on Gladiator continued to growl at Shadow as he quickly gobbled down his catch. He really didn't like the idea that they were in the presence of a smaller power, he wanted to prove that he wasn't useless.
