DragonStar
Arrows whistled by as DragonStar ran around the enormous chamber. If it wasn't for the deadly armoured figure wreathed in flames chasing him, DragonStar could have spent days admiring the architecture of the awesome chamber. I would have to face myself the ghosts had said... fine, but how come my doppelganger gets an enormous Storm bow?!
"Remember DragonStar, the skills you prepare will be used against you"
In his meditations DragonStar had thought long and hard on these words. In the end he memorized many enchantments that could help others. Since it would be single combat, those could not aid his mirror and if cast would actually be a burden to it. The only spells he would use would be Banish and Healing Breeze. The great oracle Googlethenlaus had told him long ago that Healing Breeze was often overlooked as a healing spell and he had hoped that his doppelganger would also overlook it.
Ommph! He winced as an arrow bounced off his hardened leather robes. It was only due to his agility that an arrow had not scored a killing hit. The duel had been raging for several minutes now. From the outset DragonStar had run from his nemesis. His doppelganger had immediately pursued, loosing deadly arrows at him all the while. Through out the chase, DragonStar would quietly hit his mirror with the mental strike Banish. DragonStar had always been a devoted healer, so the damage he did was minimal, yet ever so slowly his opponent was weakening.
At last his inner ki felt recharged. DragonStar stopped running, pointed at his pursuer and whispered.
!
DWAYNA BE PRAISED
!
The surge of power that ran through DragonStar's body as his mirror died was like nothing he had ever experienced. It was as if he had lived his entire life without any of the five senses... and now they had been granted to him! He could see details that had escaped him previously, he could hear sounds that he knew mortal men should not hear, his thoughts were quicker and more clear. The change was such that DragonStar let out a cry of sheer joy.
At 14 years of age, DragonStar had ascended!
