Inferno did a barrel roll in mid air, dodging 3 fireballs before spreading his wings and responding with his own, the target closing it's wings and dropping out of the sky, all but one of the Red Emperor's fireballs missing it, the one fireball hitting it in the chest even as it tried spinning to avoid the hit. the target's chest glowed for a moment, absorbing the fireball as it spread it's wings and flew back up, Inferno beating his wings and moving himself out of the way by a horizontal beat, the target and attacker flying past him. "Very good, your majesty. you're basic combat skills seem to improve every day" boomed the attacker, the head of the Imperial Guard, as he trained the Emperor in basic combat techniques. "Of course they do! it's not like im learning from scratch! i'm just re-educating myself in the fighting techniques!" responded Inferno. in one of the last battles, the Emperor had become wreckless, relying too much on the power of the Alariel which, although immensely powerful, still wouldn't help him with everything. a particularly powerful attack had almost hit him, had it not been for the fire shield the Emperor used to stop it. so it was decided that they do some training to reacquaint the Emperor to normal, unaided basic combat, to make sure he would still be able to fight as a formidable opponent if anything were ever to happen to the Gem. "Now it's time to see how far you can go" growled the leader of the Imperial Guard. he beat his wings and backflipped in mid air as he shot 12 fireballs at the Emperor in quick succession, the Emperor, moving to the right and closing his wings as he dodged one that went past his left wing, and another that went right over his head as another missed his right wing, moving his wing to the left as a fireball whizzed past it's right side, the Emperor opening his wings and throwing himself back, dodging 3 more that were aimed at his chest, as he backflipped and shot 3 fireballs to counter another three about to hit him, closing his wings to dodge the last two before opening his wings and firing 5, the Guard closing his wings and doing a spinning dive as he dodged 3, before a tingling sensation marked that he'd been hit in the back by the Emperor, as another whizzed past his snout. "Very good your majesty. it appears your aim is something to be admired. i have not been hit in over 1000 years by a ranged attack". Septimus watched from the top of a waterfall as the two large Red Dragons practiced. "I think it's time we called it a day, Hellstorm" growled Inferno. the Dragon bowed to the Emperor and growled "Well, when you wish for more practice, all you have to do is summon me" growled the Dragon as he turned and headed back up to the Red Dragon guards above, to find out what information they had for him. "Now, Septimus. i think it's time we took care of a few of your skills. we've taken care of basic close range, non magical combat. Now, im not too strongly educated in Healing Magic, being a Red Dragon, but i'll do what i can" he growled, but the White Dragon shook his head. "My father........already finished training me in magic before he passed away. i was sent here at his last wish, wanting me to learn the ways of a true Emperor. how to become a good leader and a trusted one" growled the young White Dragon. Inferno nodded, growling "Very well. come with me". he leapt into the air, Septimus following close behind...
