Winston got out of the car and checked the sign to make sure he got the right place. Merleth Trails was what was written so he got the location right. The roads out that far were quiet. If that was a secret place for training magic, it would be that place. The salamander boy walked down the trail into the trees, locking his car behind him. It was warm enough that his hooded long sleeve and a pair of cargo pants were enough. His sneakers crunched the pebbles below. "I hope she's here," Winston told himself. Winston's powers were starting to develop and he needed someone to train him. There weren't a lot of options but he was told this Jing would help him. As he got deeper into the forest, noises were heard. Sounds of sparks and calls of a young woman's voice. He got deeper in and he saw a woman: a young cougar woman wearing a raggy old black t-shirt, and a pair of rough jeans. Barefoot. "Uh..." Winston spoke up. "Hello!" Jing noticed him. "You must be Winston." Winston nodded as he approached. "Are you Jing?" They found themselves in the middle of a few trees. Jing was a few inches taller than Winston and had tough arms. Her chest was round and bouncy. She offered a big hand with strong claws. "Yes. Pleased to meet you." Winston shook the hand. "H,how long have you had powers?" Jing took her hand away and lifted a finger. A flame appeared at the end of it. She threw it into the air and it dispersed. Smiling she said, "For awhile." "I've been trying," said Winston. He shook his head. "I can't figure out how to do it easily." Winston looked down and saw that Jing was barefoot, her big cat feet stretched across the grass, claws tapping into the dirt. He chuckled. "Comfortable?" Jing knew what he was referencing and grinned, stretching her toes out. "Very. In fact, it's important to using magic." "R,really?" asked Winston. "Take off your shoes," said Jing. "Why?" asked Winston. Jing crossed her arms, pushing up her chest. "Do you want to learn or not?" "Ok, ok," said Winston. He watched his feet as he kicked off his shoes, slick feet come out of the soles. He laid soft clawless toes into the grass. Jing stepped forward, he clawed toes facing Winston's. "What does this have to do with magic?" asked Winston. Jing let a glowing magical energy ride down her arms. "Magic relies of the energies deep within the earth." Her legs began to glow with it brightest on her insteps. "So having a connection to Earth means your magic is stronger." Magic energy rode through Jing's soft soles and into her feet, lighting up her toes and riding up her calves. Winston took a stance, spreading out his feet, and concentrated. He imagined the energies of Earth passing through him and consuming his body. He couldn't tell if it was his imagination but he feet felt ticklish. He giggled. "I think it's working." "Try forming a fireball," said Jing. Winston kept his eyes closed and focused energy to the end of his hands. He felt some warmth but didn't open his eyes to see. "There you go," said Jing. The heat scared him so he stopped, taking his hand down and opening his eyes. Jing said, "You had it! You had it!" That was more control over his powers he had in the last week. He chuckled, "C,cool!" He looked down, hanging his leg out and flexing his toes. "Guess it works." "Magic is a thing of primal nature," said Jing, "so the more beast-like you are, the easier it is." She put her hands on the ground and lifted her butt into the air. "For example, running around on all fours is a good way to get beastly." Reluctantly, Winston got on all fours. He took a few steps to get used to the feel on his back arched so high. Then he joined her, touching the ground with his legs extended. He giggled. "This is silly." Jing walked around and could scurry on all fours, to Winston's approval. Winston didn't have the dexterity in his arms and legs. "You get used to it," said Jing. The two walked around for awhile, butt cheeks curving in the air. Once Winston got used to it, he hopped around with Jing, laughing along with her! They grabbed the ground with wanting hands and kicked up grass with their bare feet. Jing came up beside Winston, with a wanting look in her eyes. She checked her lips against Winston's. "You know, there's [i]another[/i] activity that barefootedness lends its energy to... a [i]beastly[/i] one." Winston smiled, staring at the beautiful cougar. "I would like that!" Jing grinned. "Catch me then!" She ran off into the trees. Winston stared for a moment, then took off. He would have to learn to run on all fours soon enough! --
