Launa and Azzy discussed a detailed regiment for me that would cover all bases. "Here's what I'm thinking he spars from the morning to afternoon with Sabrina/Sayber. Rests for an hour then spends a few hours training his mind until dinnertime. Than after dessert he spends a couple of hours in the gym pumping iron with me. From there we call it a night and resume first thing tomorrow after breakfast." Launa said.

"Sounds like a solid schedule to me though I'd suggest taking it easy for now. Until all of us are up to it then pick up the pace gradually to avoid burning out." Azzy replied. As she said that she turned her sole attention to Sabrina then stared intently. Of course the super werewolf knew that look all to well and wisely agreed with her. A question just seemed to pop into my head, during this discussion about my training.

"Okay, stupid question, exactly how long will I be training with you per day? Considering it feels like I'm going to be busting my nuts for more than fifteen hours." I wondered. Launa was quick to correct me and said I'd be training for roughly twelve hours. I'd also have Saturdays and Sundays to myself to do what ever tickled my fancy. This would also give them time to spend with their loved ones and relax at home.

"It sounds good to me seeing as my job keeps me busy so I won't be around much. When you're ready to have me take his training to the next level contact me. I'll stick around today to help with any last minute stuff then I need to be going." Sayber stated. I was quick to ask her if she had any vacation days saved up where she worked. The tiopard took a moment to think before saying she'd check when she got home.

"Well, when you know for sure let us know and we'll make the proper arrangements. In the meantime we'll stick to the schedule I made until we hear back from you." Launa replied. By this time I finished eating and politely excused myself from the table. From there I walked outside for a little fresh air then started stretching out. Seeing it would take them a while before their collective stomachs would be full.

One thing did bother me Sabrina isn't your ordinary werewolf she was unique. The same could be said about all four women and it left me with one big question. Just what in the hell did I just agree to and why do I feel like I'm going to regret it. No sense worrying about the what ifs, now it's far too late for that kind of thinking. That was until this loud belch echoed from inside the hotel breaking my concentration.

"Oh, for the love of...What in the hell did you eat or drink last night, Sabrina?" Azzy whined. "Azzy, I don't think you want her to define that with an answer believe me." Launa replied. Keep this in mind I walked about two blocks away from the hotel and heard that. Oddly enough that wasn't the only change all my senses had grown stronger. Taking a moment to sniff the air to learn what the weather was going to be like.

Instead all I could smell was what ever Sabrina had ingested the night before. It was the combination of raw bacon and stale bourbon mixed with spoiled cheese or eggs. Either way it was rank, sadly I needed to get away so I kept moving away from them. Regardless of how far away I got it still felt like I was standing before the source. The only place I could go to get away from such an odor was to vault into the air.

Little did I know is that my body had actually undergone several changes. Ranging from an 1000% increase in all my senses including my overall strength. Upon jumping I launched well over a thousand feet into the air with zero effort. Two things came to me, one this was awesome and two how was I going to land. Seeing as gravity had finally caught up to me and the ground was coming up fast.

Now I needed to think quickly before I became one with the bloody pavement. Luckily the fates were looking out for me as a safety blanket came out of nowhere. Granted not the most graceful of rescues but, I wasn't one to turned down a gift. As we slammed into the ground with a loud bang and skidded safely to a stop. "Alright, Nova mind telling me what in the HELL were you thinking, huh?" Launa asked.

"I'll be honest Launa what ever Sabrina ate rolled over and died more than once. All I wanted to do was get away from the odor but, I wasn't expecting to take flight. Of course had I known how much my body has changed I wouldn't have done it." I replied. We brushed ourselves off then walked back to the hotel where the others were. "Somehow I'm not surprised you're much stronger than before." She began.

"Ever since you're power woke up you're body has undergone some changes. Though not radical enough for you notice until you do something like you did. Perhaps we should get a baseline of your abilities before we even start your training. This way we'll have a clearer picture of what really needs to be done with you." She stated. Not seeing the harm with trying but, I expressed my concern of hurting somebody.

Not only that I wasn't keen on raising my hand to a woman unless forced to. Launa stopped in her tracks then grabbed my shoulders making me look up. "That's a noble sentiment Nova but, do you honestly think any of us can't take a hit? Trust me Nova I've been through hell and back more times than I'm willing to admit. Now I could share those stories with you just so you'll wonder how I survived.

If you ever want me to share some of the less horrific chapters of my life just ask. So take my word for it hun Sabrina, Sayber and I cane take a lot of punishment." She smiled. Trusting in what my teacher told me eased my mind however not enough for my liking. Looking down at me where she saw an all too familiar look and knew the problem. Hooking an arm playfully around my neck then pressed me up against her torso.

"You're just a big old softy that happens to pack quite a punch when provoked. Keep this in mind hun there are folks out there that will try to use that against you." Launa added. What the she had shared with me now proved to be another sobering thought. Next the feline leaned over and down to kissed me affectionately on the forehead. "I've gotta ask Launa do you think I can do this how things stand now?" I asked.

Stopping in her tracks because of my tone of voice then moved in front of me. Placing both hands back on my shoulders then knelt down to look in my eyes. The fear and uncertainty was apparent in my eyes along with losing my life. Being the solo fighter early on in her life she faced a similar problem once. Sadly no amount of words she could tell me that would help me overcome this.

This was one of those things that all warriors have to face and conquer alone. It would seem that before taking this final test I had to find balance with my fate. Launa knew I had to figure it out myself but, could point me in the right direction. Placing a hand under my chin making me look straight into her eyes then spoke. "Listen hun there's no short cut or anything I can say or do to help you through it.

What will tell you is the answer is somewhere inside you it needs to be found. Every warrior no matter how great or small has faced this very thing in their lives. Believe me I've been down this road myself and it's not an easy thing to overcome. Granted we've known each other for a short time but, I've learned a lot about you. Keep your chin up and do your best to tough this out you'll find the answer." She stated.

By this time we returned to the hotel where Azzy and Sayber were waiting. During which Azzy coaxed Sabrina into going upstairs to rinse her mouth out. Before training even got underway which she complained but, did as requested. When she rejoined everyone Launa informed them about what she had learned. Next she had everybody follow her upstairs to the massive multi-floor gymnasium.

"Alright, I get the idea of getting a baseline of what Nova is actually capable of. Though is the gym really a wise location to get the information you need Launa?" Sabrina asked. With a silent nod yes from the black furred feline seemed to satisfy the canine. Politely asking Sayber to grab one of the heavy duty body bags over in the corner. Next Launa and Sabrina moved some of the equipment out of the way for now.

Grabbing the bag from the tiopard, Launa held it firm at the top and bottom. From there she asked me to go through a simple list of forums from my studies. Before commencing she had Azzy watch intently for anything that jumped out. While Sayber and Sabrina stood nearby should things got too out of control for her. Once everyone was in position Launa gave me the go ahead to begin hitting the bag.

Starting from one end of the room as I took a fighting stance then struck. Hitting the bag softly at first before picking up the pace while Launa stood firm. Until each blow I landed got stronger where it actually caused her to slide back. Watching this unfold it'd only be a matter of time before we moved across the room. I was so lost in my motions that I failed to see Launa bump the wall behind her.

Sadly being lost in such a flurry of rhythmic heavy blows and raw memories. With a savage round house kick, Launa and the bag went right through the wall. Next I unleashed this air shattering roar then crumbled to the floor like a rag doll. As Launa unburied herself from the wall at that same moment as her ears rang. Carefully scanning the area and saw Azzy, Sayber and Sabrina trying to revive me.

When Sabrina noticed Launa coming she pulled her aside and filled her in. Double checking with Azzy on the situation the raven did her best to explain things. Still a little disoriented from being knocked through a wall Launa's eyes widened. Allowing her body to recover Azzy took it upon herself to take care of me. Motioning Sayber aside the raven knelt down and placed her hand upon my forehead.

Reciting a healing spell hoping the soothing energy would bring me around. As well as ease or stop what was going on inside my mind and sure enough it worked. While the energy coursed through me I slowly relaxed and everyone breathed easier. Sayber and Azzy made me as comfortable as possible until I finally came around. When I did everyone had gathered around as my eyes fluttered open and adjusted.

Making me as comfortable as possible until I finally came back around. My eyes fluttered open and all I could see was four muscled ladies looking at me. Each one looked concerned for my well being until I motioned them to back up. Slowly sitting up then rose to my feet while the others gave me some breathing room. Naturally they didn't want to but, they allowed me to have my space for the moment.

The images plaguing my mind refused to stop no matter how hard I fought. Not wanting to lash out again and by sheer reflex I teleported out into the street. Walking over to an old beat up semi truck and sat down on the rusty step rail. I tried to get my mind to settle down so I could think clearly again but, failed. In a flash of pure rage my entire body suddenly exploded to three times their size.

Launching to my feet then spun around, sank my claws into the large vehicle. Unleashing a bellowing roar that even caused the ground to shake quite violently. My body continued to increase in mass and power until I was in were-beast mode. With a single hand I tossed the rusty eight ton truck into the air like a tennis ball. Watching it sail through the air for several yards before crashing to the ground.

Eyes blazing purple with every single muscle bulging and throbbing with power. It felt like something deep inside of me was trying to fight it's way to the surface. By the time I was able to calm down I discover my were-beast state had emerged. Standing close to nineteen feet tall with muscles that literally shamed the others. From the top of my neck down to the tip of my tail had ignited into black flames.

Launa and the others tracked me down and saw my current powered up form. Readying themselves for a fight well until I feel to the ground and curled into a ball. Leaving all four women confused as hell at what they saw and how to help me out. During all this I hadn't reverted back to normal even when Sayber walked over. Pulling me into her huge muscled arms and held me against her rather large bosom.

Everyone worried about the flames along my back causing the tiopard any harm. To their relief the flames didn't seem to phase the feline in any way shape or form. Holding my tight until my body slowly changed back to my normal anthro state. Chortling with concern as Launa approached and asked her to hand me over to her. Sayber carefully placed my sleeping form into the black feline's open muscled arms.

"Azzy it seems that there's more going on inside Nova's mind than we first thought. Either way we look at it they need to be addressed before they consume his sanity. Normally I'd leave such a job to you since you share a mental link with the boy. Whatever is going on in there this time could be more than you can handle alone." Launa stated. What nobody realized was Launa had been meaning to see what made me tick.

Granted she would've preferred to wait and ask for my permission to poke around. After what just transpired mere moments ago there was no better time than now. "That's fine by me Launa while we're looking around we should check on Courahn. If only to make sure that he hasn't found a way to escape from his prison cell. Before we dive please be respectful of what memories we find." Azzy replied.

While on route back to the hotel where the items she needed were I came around. "Umm, Launa mind putting me down so we can get training underway already." I said. Shrugging her shoulders and put me down onto the ground then looked at me. Taking a moment to stretch while Sabrina also got ready for our sparring match. If you took a second to compare me and Sabrina the super werewolf has the edge.

Now if you put power and special abilities aside than it's anyone's guess. Keep in mind Sabrina is your typical brute force fighter while I'm the tactical type. The smart thing is to use Sabrina's power, size and a little leverage against her. So long Sabrina doesn't use her super were mode than the tides can turn easily. For now I need to come into this sparring match open minded but, thought out.

Launa and Sayber took a moment to create a suitable arena for us to spar in. Using four broken down cars for sign posts then moved clear of the new arena. Removing my robe then handed it to Azzy for safe keeping then walked in the ring. Once we were standing in the center of the arena I bowed respectfully to her. Kindly returning the gesture a second later then we snapped into a fighting stance.

Just like what happened with Garrick this strange aura began to shroud her. The instant the aura fluxed Sabrina launched towards me so I moved to the left. Watching at that same moment as the superwere tumbled over herself and crashed. She was quick to gather herself back up then came right for me until I jumped up. Then with a firm kick to the back of the head sending her plowing into the ground.

"Nova is using some kind of power that's allowing him to predict her attacks. Watch his eyes closely and you'll see for yourselves exactly what I'm talking about." Sayber said. Both Launa and Azzy looked at the tiopard briefly but, did as she had suggested. Studying the sparring match closely then saw the glint in my eyes glow brighter. Just before Sabrina made any sort of move against me then I'd react accordingly.

"He's reading Sabrina's soul it's the only thing I can think of with this information. How else could he be able dodge and counter every one of Sabrina's attacks." Azzy stated. Having heard that myself I turned to look at her thus giving Sabrina an opening. Showing some degree of restraint Sabrina hit me in the gut with an open hand. Knocking the wind right out of my lungs and sent me sprawling along the ground.

Both Sayber and Azzy flinched when it happened while Sabrina acted guilty. Everyone breathed easier when I cursed while coughing and got back on my feet. "Damn, Sabrina are you sure that was your gentlest cause it sure as hell didn't feel it." I groaned. Scratching the back of her briskly as I walked over to her ready for round two. Resuming our training and did my best not to let outside distractions interfere again.

As the days turned into weeks Sabrina slowly increased her power overtime. Sadly it all came to a head when I was starting to pick her apart during training. Even with the use of her super were form didn't make much of a difference. She focused too much on using her upper body thus leaving her legs wide open. Launa had to step a couple times when she saw me exploiting that little weakness.

Since Sabrina didn't like getting tripped every time she went to make a move. The last two weeks of sparing with Sabrina I managed to show her some kick boxing. Thus strengthening her root and hopefully preventing it from being exploited again. Studying with Azzy proved just as tough when it came to learning about magic. Luckily I enjoyed learning about its history so this was a treat well at least at first.

By the end of the evening and after dinner I joined Launa upstairs in the gym. As the first month came to a close I was noticing changes with my overall physique. Granted not as much as Launa would've preferred but, she didn't force the issue. She tried on numerous occasions to get me to drink protein shakes and I refused. Defending that I like my body as is and didn't want to sacrifice speed for strength.

After few more attempts that particular week she finally stopped bugging me. Even after offering to teach me how to make such muscles even more dangerous. Though she left me to decide and when I was ready she'd be happy to show me. Especially since my strength, speed and endurance have been growing quite steadily. Again not to Launa liking but, she came around and respected the choice I made.

It took a couple weeks before Sayber could take time off from her work at home. She decided that she'd oversee me harnessing my instincts and my other forms. Her hope is to transform them from being weaknesses into something of value. Keep in mind I had some form of control of either form for short periods of time. Sayber made me practice in each form to learn how each form reacts and behaves.

While my feral form was a breeze to master after three solid weeks of training. However my were-beast state refused to grant me complete control over it's power. It was almost like it was trying to protect me from some thing worse than itself. Now I would've looked into the matter but, Sayber had others things for me to do. Asking Azzy if she'd be willing to let me to look into later on this afternoon instead.

She was perfectly fine with it seeing as Launa wanted to take a look in my mind. Once I got the okay from her and chased after Sayber curious about the next lesson. "Nova we're going to start with improving your ability to remain transformed. You'll start off in your feral form then gradually work up to your other form. There's a couple conditions I'd like you to follow to the best of your ability." She said

Not seeing the harm I asked her what they were hoping they weren't crazy ones. The first one I could have sworn she was joking until I saw the look on her face. To get a better understanding of my wilder forms I needed to forgo my clothing. With all the training I've undergone all the body fat I once had was burned off. As for her other condition was to rely solely on my instincts everything else is unnecessary.

In order to get the most of my training we left the city and entered the woods. For the next month my training would consist of using my feral form and its powers. If I survived the month than I'll move onto the next stage of my training under her. Keep in mind the longest I've stayed in this form was about thirty minutes to an hour. This was going to be rough but, Sayber had confidence in my skills to succeed.

While I underwent her training my other studies would have to wait for now. According to Sayber I needed to better understand the animals that lived within me. Survival training was the best and fastest way to achieve the results she's aiming for. Granted there were other methods but, this was how she learned after being freed. Though Launa and Azzy had their concerns but, trusted Sayber to keep me safe.

Boy did I learn differently seeing as the tiopard left me to my own devices. Fortunately I've learned how to hunt and forage during my stay with my tribe. What proved difficult was maintain this state for such an extended period of time. While also using it to survive wasn't easy at first but, it eventually came to me. By the end of the month I became one with my feral form along with all it's powers.

"You've done well Nova I can sense a difference in you now for the hard part. Before I allow you to revert back to normal I'd like for you to track and hunt me. If you're able to tag me three times than we'll move onto the next part of your training." She stated. Not completely sure on where this was going but, I decided to trust my teacher. I was aware that her methods were strange but, they've proven their worth.

After two hours I tagged Sayber for the first time but, she may have let me. My guess she wanted gauge how much I learned during my month of solo survival. Luckily she didn't play fair at all when I tried to tag her the second time around. In fact she gave me a glimpse of just how powerful my teacher Sayber really was. During the second round her body had almost tripled their natural size and strength.

Once again the tiopard made it increasingly difficult to tag her for the final time. Doing the only thing I could think was to become the hunted instead of the hunter. As the sun began setting she wondered where I ventured off and came looking. Hanging around a small untainted pond sticking to the tree tops waited patiently. Knowing that sooner or later she would come by here looking around for me.

Sticking to my feral form the entire time lying in wait for when she'd pass by. Luckily I didn't have to wait long as she walked right underneath the tree I was in. During my month of survival I managed to learn and mastered some new tricks. Allowing my mind and body to relax then my body slowly became transparent. After a few seconds I completely disappeared from sight as well as scent.

Thus making it virtually impossible to detect my presence confusing the tiopard. She frantically tried to reacquire my scent sadly it was already too late for that. Turning to face the placid mirror-like surface of the pond then scratched her head. Waiting for just the right moment for her guard to be down long enough to strike. That was until Launa appeared nearby wondering what had happened to me.

I couldn't help but, smile at the fact of getting two felines for the price of one. Sadly it was going to take a lot more strength than my feral form currently had. There's one little hiccup would I be able to remain invisible while changing form. Of course simply reverting to my normal state should be more than strong enough. Multi-tasking proved rather tricky but, somehow I was able to pull it off.

Before doing anything I had to wait for both of them to turn their backs to me. Once they did I dropped down from the tree then launched towards both women. Neither of them saw it coming as I grabbed them by the waist and yelled out. "ALRIGHT, LADIES ITS BATH TIME SO EVERYBODY INTO THE POOL!" I shouted. With one final tug I was able drag both women effortlessly right into the water.

A huge splash rang out as the surface of the water was broken in a huge way. While both women swam to the surface I dove deeper and moved to the other side. Oddly enough I was able become invisible again while Launa and Sayber cursed. One in ancient Russian and the other in Dutch for being caught totally unaware. Naturally Launa was going to even with me the instant she got her hands on me.

Well the black furred feline would first have to find me before doing anything. There was no way I was going to make it easy for her until I recalled something. All Launa had to do was have Azzy locate me via the mental link she created. It's the simplest and fastest way to track my where abouts without much effort. Fortunately she didn't have to seeing as Azzy was already searching with Sabrina.

"I don't know what you did Nova but, you really got Launa good with that stunt. She can't believe that you got the drop on her and Sayber quite well played. A piece of welcomed advice keep your head on a constant swivel if I were you Nova." She stated. Thanking Azzy for the tip then she wanted to know how I was able to cloak myself. Explaining how the ability came to me as the others drew closer to our location.

Sabrina was the only one to join while Launa and Sayber returned to the hotel. Probably planning on getting even for the not so impromptu bath I just gave them. Deciding to head back there and about halfway back Sabrina grabbed my right shoulder. "Hey, Nova why don't we get a little sparring practice in before dinner." Sabrina said. Not seeing the harm but, I asked Azzy to stay just in case she gets carried away.

Instead of a sparring match Sabrina wanted to learn more about boxing. Stating that I had showed her everything that I knew about that fighting style. "If you want to improve yourself than you'll have to look within yourself Sabrina." I said. She looked at me like I was trying to confuse her or duck out of showing her. Until Azzy pointed out that she needed to focus on strengthening her weak points.

Arching an eyebrow at the raven then agreed with her assessment about her. "Hold on there might be some martial arts books in those totes you brought along. They might prove useful to you and Azzy once I find which tote they're in." I said. The raven did a double take at me hoping that she heard what I said correctly. "Umm, I do hope that you're only pulling my tail feathers about this Nova?" She asked.

Deciding to let her sweat a little then headed inside the hotel to locate the books. Shifting through each of the totes until I found what I was after and rejoined them. Handing Sabrina learn it yourself books on boxing along with kicking boxing. Next I gave Azzy the rest of the books that I owned and let her pick for herself. Of course she wasn't overly happy about this but, luckily Launa made a valid point.

"Don't get your feathers in a bunch Azzy, our student here is onto something. It wouldn't hurt to learn some fighting techniques in case your magic is nullified. The choice is yours hun but, keep them handy should you change your mind okay." Launa said. Figuring it couldn't hurt she put them away for now until something alerted me. "We might want to take shelter we've got company and I doubt its friendly." I stated.

Before we could do anything this massive gust of air kicked up tons of dirt. "I'm glad to see all of you hard at work Nova seems to be coming along nicely. Luckily for all of you I've come to give you a little good news regarding the deadline. It seems the gathering off all the tribal chief falls upon his test of judgment. The chiefs asked me to be the moderator and if necessary a negotiator." Coreencia began.

"Will you just cut to the chase already we haven't got all day, Lady Coreencia?" Launa spat. Asking the goddess for her forgiveness by saying Launa has been stressed lately. The truth was it hasn't been easy for any of us lately especially for Launa. Granted a lot of progress has in fact been made but, nowhere near enough for her. "Fortunately these proceedings take several weeks from start to finish." She continued.

"I'm giving you an extra three months to get him ready to face his judgment. Sadly I that's the best I can do not without cutting into my other duties of course." She informed. With the additional time a lot more can be done to get me ready to face this goddess. Not that I really wanted to but, it's the will of my tribe therefore it's unavoidable. So far I've proven an equal match for Sabrina even when she's in super were mode.

Sayber on the other hand I just started learning under her so it's hard to say. Considering I've been training under her for the past month for now I'll be patient. All my teachers have unique methods of teaching and she's no different that's for sure. "Anyway I must be going, Nova train hard and fast I look forward to seeing you." Coreencia said. With that another huge gust of air kicked up and the goddess vanished in a flash.

Next Launa went for a little walk not long after this loud roar echoed nearby. Followed by a small building getting pummeled brutally right into the ground. Apparently Launa doesn't like Coreencia or she had her own bone to pick with her. What ever set the trickster goddess off it was best to allow her time to cool off. The question now how are we going to maximize the added time Coreencia gave us.

To be continued.
