P.O.V Lanius Frey
We stayed in the village longer than expected. Almost three years...
Acura asked me to train with him and it was good enough for Lux because he could train his Spirit power as well.
Flying through the air on Titan I smiled.
"Gotta pick up the gift that Blair has been wanting. She's so much like Lux and I. Guess she's old enough to have one..."
Jumping off of Titan Slayer I landed infront of the blacksmith.
Going inside I ordered Blair's "Suprise"
"A sword like that shouldn't take to long. Plus the armor, come by tommorow. I'll have it ready for you."
"Thank you!"
Walking out of the door I jumped back on Titan Slayer.
"Gotta meet up with Acura..."
As I excited the Village a giant ball of fire shot up from the plains next to the village.
"Spirit Blade of Moss!"
Summoning the Nature Spirit sword I slashed the Ball of fire in two.
"I haven't even landed yet!"
"Be prepared for anything! You said it!!"
"Boots of Hermes."
Golden boots appeared around my feet. White angel wings sprouted from each shoe.
Jumping off of the sword I smirked.
"I'm attacking with all my might Acura!! Titan, let's do this!!"
In one hand I held the Blade of moss. As the Titan Slayer reached my hands I used one of my new favorite tricks.
"Inversion!"
Titan Slayer began to shrink in size, but the original blade size remained. It's original size was replaced by the glow of the wind aura.
"Nature's Hurricane!!"
As I held both blades my magic began to mix and change into something new.
Razor sharp leaves began floating around me as the wind picked up. A lighter green glow appeared as I landed on the battlefield.
"DragonSlayer!!"
In a brilliant blaze a sword made of fire appeared before Acura. It was a long slightly curved two handed sword with wings for handle guards. As he picked it up his arms began to grow crimson scales. Smirking at me he waved his sword around.
"Lets Brawl Lanny!!"
"I'm gonna wipe that grin off your face!!"
Turning the blade of moss around In my right hand the pommle faced forward.
"Dance of the Falling Pedals!!"
Dodging his swing I spun around striking his blade four times.
Throwing them outward, I got close.
"Lets go Lizardboy!"
"I've been waiting for this!!"
Tossing up his blade he brought his fists closer to his body.
Back and forth, left and right. Our punches created waves of power shaking the leaves.
"Gotta move faster Acura!"
Knocking a fist away I flipped over him and kicked his lower back. Trying to keep his balance I opened my hand.
"Check mate Acura... Hurricane."
A massive tornado threw him up high into the air.
"Air cradle."
Catching him before he hit the ground I laughed.
"How long was that now? You can hold Dragon Slayer for a whole two minutes!"
Landing on his feet he sighed.
"Yeah but you have practically mastered the twin whatever."
"I'm calling it Twin Soul. Cool right?"
Walking over to us Lux laughed.
"You haven't been able to get the Sky god to accept you either. So you can't use the full power of wind."
Acura's eyes lit up as Lux walked over.
"Sensei Lux! How did I do?"
Slapping Acura on the back Lux smiled.
"Still a little rough around the edges but you'll make a great swordsman yet."
Jumping on my back Blair gave me a squeeze.
"Bros flames are cool but Dads Power is way cooler."
"Shut up Blair, wind is not cooler than fire!"
"Is to!"
"Is not you little shit!!"
Dashing at me Blair jumped off and ran into the forest.
"Blair sure gained an attitude eh Uncle Lux?"
"Yeah well sounds like her Father."
Walking off I Stretched. For three years I raked my brain, trying to figure out what I can do to get izanagi to accept me as his champion. The god loathes anything boring. Loves watching a good show... training with Acura was my best attempt but Izanagi remains silent. I have one more idea but it's the most crazy thing I've ever even considered...
Lux looked at my face lost in thought and growled at me.
"Why do you look like your going to do something stupid?"
I shrugged.
"Well as you know I've been trying my hardest to get the god of the sky to acknowledge me and grant me his full power. But its fallen on deaf ears."
He nodded, clenching his fist a green glow radiated from his fist.
"If we are to continue our journey we need to gain that power."
Extending my hand Titan Slayer floated to my open hand.
"I've got one last final idea. But if i'm being honest, its a gamble im a little scared to play..."
Pointing towards a familiar cave I smirked. Realizing what I was implying he immediately shook his head.
"No. Absolutely not!"
Chuckling I nodded.
"I agree, but..."
Throwing Titan Slayer into the air i leapt onto the flat of the blade.
"Its my best bet!"
Taking off towards the Cave I could barely hear Lux shouting in protest as I got closer to the cave. Flying through the forest I landed down at the entrance to Igneous' cave.
The red dragons voiced echoed out from deep within the dark cave.
"Champion of the gods, What do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"
Sitting down on a rock I took a few minutes, building up my courage.
"I want to fight you. No I NEED to fight you."
Flames illuminated his face as he laughed at thought.
"You... Wish to fight me? Your out of ideas aren't you?"
Nodding I stabbed Titan Slayer into the dirt infront of me.
"I-Its the god of the Sky. It's been three years and he hasn't spoken to me at all. I can't channel the full potential of wind magic until he gives me permission. Two weeks from now, it'll be four years..."
The Dragon Igneous silently listened as I complained about Izanagi.
"So what makes you think battling me is going to give you his attention?"
Smirking I waved my hand.
"He's very Flashy, imagine how comical he'd find boring little old me fighting a dragon!"
His large head exited the cave and he looked down at me.
"I wish to give you a fighting chance Champion. So... I guess I give you this."
As he stepped forward his body began to glow a light red color. He began to shrink in size. Before even making it out of the cave an entirely different person stood before me.
A man with bright red spikey hair and a red goatee stood before me. Smoking a cigarette he Smiled at me.
He wore red dress pants and a white wool shirt, his jacket was dark red and made of the finest leather. He had black cowboy boots with a scaled design. Black horns sprouted from his head, but oddly enough... no tail, or wings.
"I used to visit the village like this... Visit those bars."
After getting a good look at him one thing put me off...
His eyes glowed a crimson red. Glaring at me his aura flared up. Coating him in a blood red color. When you can see a person's aura thay usually means their strongenough to affect the will of the air around them.
But Igneous was a different beast, his aura was as big as a mountain.
Taking one last drag he threw the cigarette bud on the ground.
"Been a while! Needed that. Well Kid, Show me what you got. If you can hit me. Even a scratch! You win."
Nodding I clenched my fist.
"Fuck me... I'M GIVING THIS EVERYTHING I GOT!!"
/"Let's see this happen right Champion!! You have proven to me that your willing to do the unthinkable in the path of success. This is my final gift to you! The sky is your home. Prove to that Lizard who the true sky king is!!"\
Titan Slayer flew next to me. Glowing brightly it split into pieces, only to pierce my skin. Each shard of the blade fading inside my body, it filled me with more and more power.
Wind began to flow around me holding me in a gentle embrace.
"Why do the gods desire to cause their champion such pain?"
Standing up I looked around.
/"Be greatful Mortal! You have become the Sky King."\
"The ruler of the Sky, the one above all... The Sky King!!!"
The winds began to Howl in rage, not at me... At my enemy. Wrapping around me something began to change.
Small antlers sprouted out of my head. Adorning my head with a crown.
"Spirit of the Titan Slayer!!!"
Coming forth from the winds Titan Slayer appeared before me.
"Lets go Igneous!!"
Dashing forward I slashed down with Titan Slayer. A massive slash of wind cut a wedge out of Igneous' cave. But I wasn't even close.
"Gotta step it up! Follow my lead Titan!"
(Yes master)
Did Titan Slayer just speak to me? Actually forget about that, no time to question it...
Throwing Titan Slayer it launched at Igneous. Jumping up he Laughed before putting another cigarette in his mouth and lighting it.
"Ha! Your power has almost quadrupled. Getting close there Champion."
"This next one might sound dumb but it's gonna get crazy. Mossy Whip sword!!"
The blade of moss appeared with a vine fused to the end. The blade was smaller than usual.
Swinging the vine I sent it flying at him.
As he Dodged left I smirked.
"Ha!"
Placing my foot down hard on the rope it was sent flying left.
Getting inches from him he disappeared.
"W-What?"
Showing up behind me he spoke.
" Time I fought back eh? I'll do it the way humans do."
The sound of a dragons roar could be heard in the distance.
"Fire Dragons Roar!!!"
A giant pillar of flames slammed into me with unmeasurable power. It was like being slammed with the full might of the entire Sky temple. All at once.
"N-Natures Protection!!!"
I slammed into Tree after GOD DAM TREE!!! I was flying for a few seconds. After slamming into a giant rock I was moments from passing out.
Looking over at Igneous he wiped his face.
"Aw man! I thought I was holding back."
"Holy...Sh-"
collapsing in on myself I passed out on that rock.

P.O.V Ander Fernandez
"Happy birthday my little Ander!"
Yup you Heard my mother right... It's my birthday.
"Ander, I can't believe your 15 already! Makes your brother feel a little old."
"Oh Hush now Travis, your only 20."
Laughing to ourselves my Aunt Lucy smiled at me.
"So... Your officially a man, time to fight little man."
The Fabled Hydra Bow. My aunt is one of the most powerful bound weapon users alive. She's been so rude, ignoring me for years.
"Yes!! I can finally show off my newest trick."
Mother looked at me with a puzzled look.
"Trick?"
Aunt Lucy smirked before walking out into the front lawn.
"I like the sound of that. Shall we Little Ander?"
"I'm going all out Lucy!!"
Closing her eyes she outstretched her arms.
"Sleeping in the Lair of the beast... Hydra's Bow!"
Water began to pour around her. Taking the Shape of a long bow she grabbed the handle.
"Well? I'll give you the time. Do whatever you need to prepare."
Smirking I looked her in the eyes.
"I am the one who Rules the Sky. The Domain of the Gods... Sky King!!"
A windless peaceful day was destroyed by the wrath of the Sky spirits. Whipping around my in a whirlwind Lucy looked at me with a look I couldn't describe.
Antlers grew out of my head in a beautiful crown.
"Spirit of the Titan Slayer!!"
"Spirit Blade of Moss!"
The two swords appeared before me. Grabbing each blade an unexpected reaction exploded within me.
"T-This feeling..."
A light green aura surrounded my body. Bringing a gentle warmth with it. Sky nature magic? The original Twin soul!
"Time to knock your socks off Ander! Hydra's Nine roaring heads!!!"
Pulling back the bow string an arrow overflowing with magic appeared in the string.
Letting loose the wrath of hydra I prepared myself.
"Nature's protection..."
The wooden armor appeared around my body. Stabbing Titan Slayer into the earth I smiled.
"Grow if you please!!"
Responding to my question the sword doubled in size. But will it be enough?
The first arrow missed, flying by me. The next launched right past me. Another few fly past but then... The rest struck Titan Slayer.
Pushing me back I hopped over Titan Slayer.
"Won't be fast enough guys, sorry!"
Disappearing I called forth the winds.
"Arias Wrath!!"
Green gust of wind shot towards her at blinding speed. Jumping up she launched another volley.
Sliding on the ground I smirked.
"Sky's Cradle!"
Expecting to land on the ground she was caught by the draft.
"W-What?"
Jumping I stepped on the air itself.
"Vine prison!"
Vines wrapped around her in a sizable prison.
"Now's my chance! Come to me Nature's Blade and Titans Slayer!!"
Not enough time to invert Titan slayer! Screw it!"
Destroying the prison she started readying the next volley. Smiling I shouted.
"Too late. Nature's Hurricane!!"
Spinning I summoned the combined might of the Sky and nature magic I've spent so much time training.
Just before she could attack I blew her into the Sky. Tossing the blades I Smirked.
"Come forth the forest of legend. Wrath of the Elder tree!!"
Slamming my hands down a mighty tree sprouted up instantaneously.
"This is it!!"
Dashing up the tree she spun mid air.
"Hydra!!!"
One mighty arrow launched from the bow. Taking the shape of a serpent the attack destroyed the side of the elder tree.
Jumping I began to fall.
Flipping in the air I remembered the spell Mister Frey used against Acura.
"Boots of Hermes!!"
A golden aura glowed around my feet. Jumping I felt the power of flight.
"Sky king's Fist!!"
The roar of the Sky against my back and nature giving my its protection. I narrowly dodged her last attack.
Roaring with might I slammed my fist into Lucy's stomach. Feeling the breath leave her body she began to fall.
"Nature's blessing!"
Catching my aunt she was enveloped by the healing light.
Landing on the ground I set her down gently.
"N-Nice one k- I mean Ander. I cannot believe your mother..."
Getting up I watched my Aunt Lucy storming over and begin shouting at my Mother.
"Angelica! What are you feeding your children! He's packing one hell of a punch."
"I knew he could use the Nature magic... But pulling off a full spirit form for that long of a battle?"
Travis chimed in.
"Don't forget the part where he used the Twin Soul attack!"
Scratching the back of my head I sighed.
"Aunt Lucy?"
"Sup Little Ander?"
"Your arrows scare me..."
"Well I was not expecting you to go full close range at the start like that..."
Just as they finished praising my skill a man wearing a black suit carried a silver briefcase.
"Excuse me... Is this the Fernandez residence?"
