Coranna hovered just over the treetops, scanning the land before them. Hu Lao wasn't too far away, in view, but she wasn't sure if they were even going to stop at the village. She glanced down, just barely able to see Nya, Mia and Ash through the tree's branches. It'd been the most boring journey of her life, but it was better than having an assassin after you. The thought made her glance around with paranoia, but there was nothing.

(Thank you and perfect place! They are a little ways away from the town so they can spar against Ash.)
Mia sighed it was getting to be darker now and they would have to stop and make camp. Ash was annoying her and she looked up at the dots that were Bry and Coranna. THEY at least got to escape. She had to listen to Ash make up pick up lines to Nya the whole time. She waved at them but wasn't sure they would get the message really. They would as soon as they saw that the horses had stopped though.
Bry looked behind where Coranna had. "Whats wrong? Nothing is following us."
Ash stopped his horse as he had just got done telling Nya that her meows were the cutest thing he had ever heard. "Camping time?"
Mia smirked,"Yea go get some fire wood please." She hoped it would get rid of him for a while.

Coranna looked at him with surprise, surprise that he had caught on so quickly. She composed herself quickly, the suprise vanishing from her face. "When me, Mia, and Nia were travelling we had a little... complication along the way. An assassin, a very skilled one. It was a long and pain-filled fight, but he eventually fled. Though it still makes me nervous, because he had attacked me a day before that as well, meaning he's following me."

"If he attacks again we will throw the kid at him and run it will buy us some time as he jabbers the assasin to death." Bry said, he wasn't worried they wer ein the sky and it msut have meant Coranna had not been able to get away and up in the sky in time. He stopped the joke and answered seriously this time,"With all of us here I am sure one assasin won't be too hard for us." He fluttered a moment and looked down,"We left them behind a bit I bet they stopped for the night or becasue somehting is stopping them. Maybe we will be down one person once we get there."
Ash came back with more then enough fire wood dropping it at Mia's feet he smiled. "When do we get to spar?" He punched the air playfully.
Mia rolled her eyes,"As soon as they get here. I hope you like broken noses and gashes all over you. You seem ready to get beaten up by her I don't know why." Mia snapped her fingers and started a fire on the wood easily.
Ash smirked,"Coranna? Well I hope to learn more about diffrent opponents I've only fought humans before."
Mia just chuckled and shook her head. "Your in for a beating."
Nya seemed worried,"You shouldn't fight really.... meow. Its dangerous and Coranna is a good fighter."
"Just a spar little kitten all in the fun I won't get too hurt." Ash said confidently.

Coranna couldn't help but grin at Bry's little joke, "I hope that kid's ready, though it really is annoying that I can't use my arrows or talons." Making a sharp turn, she dived back towards the camp. She was going much to fast, folding her wings in as she neared the trees. The branches brushed past but did not harm her, right before she painfully would have impacted the ground, her arms reached forward, and a gust of air suddenly blew just as she opened her wings slightly. She slowed quickly, her legs flipping forward under her and landing themselves lightly on the ground. As she walked forward she stretched and plopped herself down infront of the fire, "Dinner first and then spar?" She questioned with a content grin.

Ash smiled as he was tending the fire. "We will let our food settle wouldn't want to blame my win on cramps."
Bry had to come in slower the Coranna but he landed and heard everything. Smiling at Ash's cockiness, it would be wiped out soon enough.
Mia put some meat on the fire and it sizzled. "Snake is the only thing that is thin and easy to carry that won't go bad quickly." SHe did bring out some mushrooms to eat while they waited though.
Nya didn't really like the mushrooms but she managed to eat most of hers and Ash finished them off for her.
After the nice dinner the sun was starting to set they had about an hour of light. "Just enough time." He was human so seeing in the dark wasn't something he could do well." He took off his gloves which looked normal until they clunked into the ground with a heavy thump sound. He rubbed his hands and smiled. They were whiter then the rest of his body which showed how often he wore the heavy things.
"Try not to stab me please. But I know its a natrual weapon for you I'll try not to get too hurt."

"I'll resist the urge." She almost cooed, a sly smirk arcing one corner of her lips. "Bry, will you count it down?" She questioned over her shoulder as she wandered over to the opposite of the side of the camp, making some distance between the two of them. As she reached the other side, she tensed her muscles, ready to make a move as soon as the commanding words would be said.

Ash stood there and waited he bent his knees and put his hand in front of his face like a boxer. Itw asn't his usual stance but he was trying to evaluate how to fight such an opponent and so he took the stance the protected his face and chest better.
Bry nodded and counted down. "Ready..... set.... go!"
Ash stood there he was not about to come to her he was defense at the moment and once he felt comfortable he would attack back.

Ugh, she hated the ones that didn't attack first, it was much more fun to thwart people efforts than to have her efforts possibly be thwarted. She grinned even more as Ash took on probably the most stereotypical stance for fighting. Either he knew it was one of the best stances or he was just copying.
First: test his strength.
Diggin her talons into the ground, she leaned forward. Her wings stuck straight out behind her, her arms trying to follow them. In one quick movement both wings and arms pulled forward, a large gust of wind erupting from them. The wind blew across the distance between Coranna and Ash, kicking up dust in it's wake and a few rocks as well. Launching herself forward, Coranna followed behind the dust cloud, ready to attack if the boy did stumble, and ready to arc up and backwards if he did not. Though she doubted he wouldn't.

He almost smiled at the thought that she was a wind magic user most of the people in his class had some type of magic he had to remember she could fly though but he dug his feet into the ground to not fall backwards or stumble which is what she most likely wanted.
He hated to use his chakra so early in the game so he covered his eyes from the dust thinking he saw something in it because she was surely going to attack. He reached out afraid for the talons but hoping he would grab something to use against Coranna.

Coranna clenched her teeth with annoyance. Right now she'd usually be able to claw the person apart with her talons. But this wasn't a normal fight, they were just 'sparring'. She couldn't stop herself before she saw the grasping hands. She raised herself, just slightly, so that he could grip around her ankles. She'd give him that much, but as soon as she felt the hands grip her ankles, she would jolt forward, with some air force as well, toward the trees, keen on swinging him into one.

Ash grasped her ankle and smiled it was more then perfect. Obviously she could pick him up while flying. As she went to swing him into the tree he used the force of going forward to let go flip in the air and landed on her back. Not wanting her to crash into the ground with him on her for it would scrape her up badly and be mean for a spar. He jumped off her back quickly like a boost and landed on the ground on his feet with a skid he smiled. It was a good landing and better then being in a tree.
Mia frowned at this move and it seemed he was more nimble and gotten into fights then she thought. She evaluated this because she knew Coranna wouldn't let him get away for using her as a stepping stone.

That move clued her in; there was something about this boy she did not know. No normal kid could ever do a move like that with such accuracy, or stand against her wind either. She turned and hovered in the sky, staring at him as if trying to figure out his inner workings. "You're not normal." She commented aloud, her eyes still fixed keenly upon him.

Ash stopped nad smiled,"Oh course I'm normal." He chuckled,"I jsut know how to fight. I haven't even used my chakra yet though i figured it wouldn't do much with your wind but I have to say your pretty good with your magic."
"Where did you train?" Mia cut in.
Ash faltered, scratching his neck nervously. "Everywhere I could. My chakra style is water goes for flexibility that normal people wouldn't be able to do, but I'm not as good as the toughest masters."
Mia had been in a palce for fighting but she had dropped out it was difficult to say the least and she learned enough to fight well. "water also stands for healing. Coranna is right your not normal." Never mind the fact that it took years to train in ONE palce more of less almost all of them. Which meant he was older then he looked like the dragon master was.
Ash smiled up at Coranna,"If you feel you can't beat me I could get Mia to join she has been wanting to beat on me this whole time."
Mia smirked, it was Coranna's choice and if it was a two on one it would be intresting.
Bry sat on a branch that was big enough for him. Ash's stance had covered his actual training but Bry watched carefiully now with Coranna's wind magicand fire magic put together would make a very hard fight. Even for a master and definetly one who had no magic to combat with jsut a chakra style.
