Chapter 4: Training
Once we were in our secluded area, we set up camp. After we got through that tedious job, Zineryt called us over.
“Ok, I want to train with you one at a time,” he explained. “First, I’m going to have Jaldar train with ice because that is so much harder to master than a sword. Trust me on that one. I’m a master with both so I would know. Zamak, while I’m training him, can you get firewood and catch some food with this?”
He threw me a weird looking thing with a noose at the end. “What am I supposed to do with this?”
“You’re supposed to hunt with it!” Zineryt exclaimed. “Ok, over near those bushes, little animals pop out. Find them, track their footprints, and hang them.”
“Just bring you the meat right?” I asked, making sure I know what the hell I’m doing so he doesn’t get mad and ice me.
“Yeah, we have no need for the fur,” he said. “Now go!”
I ran off to do what he said while he attempted to train Jaldar(c)'s ice skills.

“Ok Jaldar, let’s see what you can do. Show me your strongest ice attack,” Zineryt demanded.
“Should I strike a boulder or should I attack you since you can get out of it?” Jaldar asked.
“Hmm, let’s see." Zineryt pondered for a minute, hoping that Jaldar(c)'s ice won’t be too strong. ‘Ah, what the hell do I have to worry about,’ he thought to himself. “Attack me; I’d like to see your full potential in this.”
Concentrating his energy, Jaldar pinpointed the ice’s location to surround Zineryt and to freeze him from the inside. He let the attack go, freezing Zineryt for but a moment. In just a second, Zineryt broke free and was behind Jaldar. “Hhhhhhhow?” he stammered in fear, the sweat trickling down his face. “I used my full power for that.”
