Leaving the venue, our hero waves goodbye to Solana and the other performers as they get ready to pack up everything. Leaving the venue, Kak-Yak yawns, tired after a long night. Amongst the crowd leaving said venue, he bumps into a familiar face.

  "Hey! I remember you! Um...Zel! Yeah, Zel-Quith was your name right?"

  Nodding, the other Suxarine bows. "Indeed. I don't want to waste both of our times, so please. Follow me, full moon one."

  Following close behind him, Kak-Yak quickly speaks. "Oh! So you know of uh, my powers? Yeah, crazy huh! I don't really know what it means to be blessed with this stuff. It's cool though!! I get cool moon powers and stuff!"

  He looks to Kak-Yak, serious and stoic expression present on his face. "So you have already managed to utilize some of your abilities?"

  "Yep! Although, uh, i um...don't really know how to control it all that well, haha!"

  "Understandable. As Suxarine, those blessed with your powers need help from other Suxarine to fully unleash your potential. The trust our kind have for one another is strong...i would be wrong to not help you, full moon one."

  Arriving outside the city, both Suxarine stand on a grassy plain, the night sky's rays shining down upon them. Kak-Yak scratches his head, looking around. "...Uh...so why are we outside the city exactly?"

  Extending a paw, he speaks lowly. "Others do not need to view sacred and private Suxarine tradition. Now please extend your paw."

  Kak-Yak extends his paw. Zel puts his paw onto Kak-Yak's, energy beginning to flow between the two. Zel tenses up. "...You have much power hidden deep within you...it is honestly very chilling." *shakes head* "Next step. Place your other paw onto my shoulder. I shall do the same with yours."

  "Uh...ok?" He does so, the other Suxarine doing the same. "So...uh, what is this supposed to do exactly?"

  "The combination of another Suxarine's energy helps those born of the full moon. It helps with focus, inner channeling, and to better get control of your powers. This would be a much faster process with multiple Suxarine...however, we are few and between outside our homeland. I will have to be the one to help you here." Whitish aura begins to form around the two Suxarine. "Now please close your eyes. This simple act is very important."

  "Got it!" Kak-Yak closes his eyes. Both their auras begin to intensify, the air around them starting to turn cold, wind speeds picking up. Kak-Yak's tail began to move uncomfortably as he began to shake. "This feeling again...it's...it's so intense." His aura began to increase in intensity and power, our hero shaking and clenching his eyes tightly. Shining down on him, the rays from the moon engulfed Kak-Yak, bright light engulfing him.

  Covering his eyes, the other Suxarine waited for the temporary blindness of light to cease. After a spell, he uncovered his eyes, looking to Kak-Yak. "...Incredible...this is incredible."

  With an aura that lights up the dark sky, our hero opens his eyes, his multi colored iris changing to a bright blue color. Just like his first transformation, his fur colors vanished, replaced with that of a singular, white color. Still shaking, Kak-Yak speaks, paws trembling. "Does it have to sting every time i enter this state?"

  "It gets less irritating the more you hone your power, as well as your aura. Remember, your aura is ones spirit contained, so the more you train your own spirit, the more easier it will be to maintain and have better control of your awakened state. Now let's move on. Please sit like this." The Suxarine sits cross legged, extending both paws out. Following his lead, Kak-Yak does the same. "Now take my paws into yours." Doing so, he takes Zel's paws into his. "Now think of someplace peaceful."

  Almost immediately Kak-Yak thinks of an island filled with teddy bears and plushies. "Hehehehehehe." Being within this imaginary place seems to lessen the stress this transformation has on his body, Kak-Yak giggling and laughing within an imaginary land.

  Looking at the now giddy Kak-Yak, Zel speaks. "Whatever place you are imagining seems to be helping calm down your stressed aura. This is good. Now, slowly open your eyes and retain your now happy state of mind."

  He does so, looking around for a bit. Now giddy and himself, he speaks...like himself. "What next friend?! Hehehehehe, MAN!! Who knew i only needed to visit my imagination to calm myself down when in this...uh...form?! State?! Words are weird!" Pupils dilating and expression changing, he holds his head in slight pain. "The sudden waves of pain is really annoying. It doesn't even hurt that badly...it's just really, really annoying." He hisses at himself lowly.

  "Mastering ones awakened state differs. Some full moon Suxarine can stay in their transformed states with zero draw backs, while others can have problems, such as attitude shifts, their energy draining faster, and pain. It seem in your case it is pain. However, other side effects could show in the near future, so be aware of this. Now, the next part is important. Close your eyes, and keep them shut. I must chant some words within our language. Whilst i do so, picture the moon within your mind and a large ocean beneath your feet."

  Closing his eyes once more, our hero imagines the ocean beneath his feet, a darkened sky above him as the moon shines down upon the sea. Stars upon stars begin to form within the dark sky, the strand of fur on top of his head flowing in the cold breeze. Suddenly, a jolt of energy surged through his body, although it didn't hurt at all. It was rather pleasant actually, our hero feeling reinvigorated and more aware. Staring out unto the open ocean, Kak-Yak notices a figure come into view...another Suxarine! Although this one appeared way different appearance wise from Zel. His fur was a mixture of black and white, his attire that of an elegant white cloak accompanied by a black undershirt.

  "...Hello...and welcome to dream space...here you can hone your powers and skills bestowed upon you...by me, Aza-Riel."

  Our hero's eyes widen. "Oh! Wait, i think i remember someone with a name like that." He thinks...and thinks...and thinks. "Man my memory is bad."

  Folding his paws behind his back, he speaks in a calm and relaxing tone. "I am what Suxarine call god...although there are multiple gods besides me. No matter." He walks up to Kak-Yak, extending a paw. "In short, i am the god of our people. The first ever Suxarine to live."

  Giddy and exited, Kak-Yak quickly shook his paw. "Well color me shocked!! Uh, hello sir! Hehehehehe, never met a god before!! This is so cool!!! Although, i expected meeting a god to be more grand and crazy!! Loud booming voice, flashing lights and yada yada yada. You sorta just...appeared haha."

  "..." He refolds his paws behind his back. "I'm sure you have questions, correct? If not, i would like to get right into helping hone your powers."

  "Hmmmmmmmmmm." Paw on chin, he thinks a bit. Aza-Riel watches, gaze calm and patient. "Hmmmm...oh!! Ok ok ok, first question!! What's with needing other Suxarine to help me? Why can't you, like, enter my dreams or something to help me with my powers?"

  "Answering your first question. Reason? To help attune your powers. As already stated by the Suxarine that is helping you, this process is to help with inner channeling, focus and to better get a grip of your abilities. Other Suxarine being present to give their energy helps your spirit to better commune with the powers hidden deep within you, as well as to help bring your power into deeper connection with your fellow Suxarine spiritually. This ritual also helps your body and mind fight off the drawbacks of using your powers, so that in the future these said drawbacks will cease. Without the help of other Suxarine, your powers will have to have been awakened and trained by other means. Meditation, physical training, or perhaps just chance. This way, Suxarine far from our homeland can be able to still learn and hone the power I've given them, without the need of other Suxarine."

  "Huh...so THAT'S why i meditate from time to time. I thought that was just something i did just to do!"

  "No. It's your souls way of communing both your body and mind to better train your power...which is why you are always confused as to why your body meditates on it's own, why your mind drifts to doing said meditation from time to time."

  "Huh...this is all SO WEIRD, but SO cool, all at the same time!" Thinking a bit about his next question, he looks to his surroundings, thinking deeply. The sea, stars and moon all creates a surreal and heavenly atmosphere for our hero, who's still amazed that any of this is even happening. "Ok ok, i got one last question i want to ask!!" His expression shifts, smile faltering as he ask his question. "Why me? Why am i given such powerful ability's sir? Ability's i have only scratched the mere surface of? And what's the point of having them?"

  Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  Hearing the question, Aza-Riel explains in detail. "Within the Suxarine homeland, the ones blessed of the full moon help to bring forth much energy within our land, helping to further advance our technology and to strengthen fellow Suxarine both mentally and spiritually. It is all about energy, Kak-Yak. To help your fellow Suxarine and to strengthen our species with your very energy. Although you are far from the Suxarine homeland, your mere existence gives energy to our kind, even with you being far, far away from our home. Now as for why you specifically? Well...i only choose Suxarine i find to be suiting for the role of a full moon. You might not see it now, but hidden deep within you is a very, very powerful soul. That once awakened fully has the potential to make all who stand in your path tremble and flee in terror. I can see your soul clearly this very moment. Hidden behind your outgoing and cheerful personality...is something that's waiting to be tested. Pushed to the edge. Although it is nothing dangerous to the innocent...only something terrifying to the wicked." *Low hum* "I look forward to watching you Kak-Yak. Now then...if there is no more questions...I would like to get to training you."

  Kak-Yak thinks deeply on what has been said. Little old him, given so much to think over now. "Man...this is all so...well, insane to me." Shrugging and shaking his head quickly, he turns back to Aza-Riel. "Welp, i don't have any more questions in this noodle of a brain of mines. Let's get to training like you said sir!"

  He nods. "Indeed. Let us begin."

  Entering an elegant fighting stance, Aza-Riel stands tall, form beginning to flow bright as a whitish aura surrounded him, lighting up the sea around him. "First things first...I shall teach you the style of fighting our kind uses. Suxarine hate conflict...but when the need arises to fight, we shall do so with elegance and dignity. Now come at me, show me your self taught style of fighting while you learn of your own kinds."

  "Wow. You even know I made up my own fighting style. Yeah, I like to mix quick and fast movements, then catch my opponents off guard as i swap to a more brute force style!! Um...but wait, how will this new style you're showing me fit into my other forms of fighting?"

  "That is something you will have to find out for yourself...now fight."

  "R-right!"

  Blindingly rushing forward, Kak-Yak flips into the air, trying to land a quick and fast kick to Aza-Riel's head. To our hero's surprise, instead of dodging or blocking, Aza-Riel simply jumps into the air and parries his attack, striking him with a palm blast and doing a quick roundhouse kick midair...right into our hero's chest.

  Crashing to the ground...well, sea below him, he gets back up. "Ow ow ow ow ow."

  Before he can react, Aza-Riel, in the blink of an eye appears right behind Kak-Yak, kicking him upward to unleash a flurry of attacks to his stomach, finishing with another palm blast that sends Kak-Yak flying back onto the ground.

  "Ow...ok, ok ok." Kak-Yak quickly gets up, getting a quick breather. "You're so fast. Really really fast. I mean you ARE a god so I guess that I shouldn't be complaining."

  Through time and time, training and training, Kak-Yak slowly picks up the style Aza-Riel is trying to teach. Eventually after sparring, he shows Kak-Yak demonstrations of the Suxarine fighting style. Slowly but surly, Kak-Yak begins to learn...although very slowly.

  After some time, Aza-Riel, with a wave of a paw speaks. "Alright. That is enough. It is clear you are a slow learner. This is fine, just continue training and practice what I've shown. Now moving onto your ability's."

  Clapping both paws together, Aza-Riel summons Zel-Quith into the dream space...as well as other Suxarine!

  "Woah!!! Where did all of you come from?!" Our hero's looks around frantically.

  "Greetings full moon one."

  "Praise the full moon one."

  "Our energy for the full moon one."

  The other Suxarine bowed, all giving respects to Kak-Yak. Giggling, he scratches his head and waves. "Man, this is so weird. But hey, I ain't complaining! Wait...wait I'm confused." He turns to Zel. "I thought you said other Suxarine were like, waaaaaaay far away."

  "I shall explain." Said Aza-Riel. "The ones you see are deceased. Gone from the mortal realm. Like you, they are all Full Moon Suxarine. Now...if other Suxarine like Zel were here, helping give you energy outside of dream space, that would make this entire thing go by faster. Alas, one alive Suxarine...Zel, in this case, is enough. Now...to help you hone your powers."

  *enthusiastic nod*"Right!!"

  Putting both paws together, Aza-Riel's form glowed bright, his light shining throughout the dream space. "Do as I do. Close your eyes and put your paws together, then breathe in and out. Now whilst you do this, think of what makes you happy. Think of what truly brings you peace and joy within this world."

  Paws together, eyes closed, easy breathes, he does so. Many things rush through his head, many memories. Experiences. Finally, his spirit rest on something, the soul within him stirring at the sight he sees.

  "...I see...You find joy in simply helping others. Being a hero, using your personality to brighten others days. You also love companionship, having loyal and supportive friends. However, having left your home, you, too, left behind friends and family. In search of pursuing what you love the most...being a hero. Now, using the emotion you've gathered from these memories and the emotions you feel. I shall teach you how to use them effectively with your powers."

  ...

  Kak-Yak goes through intense training and learning, following every step Aza-Riel shows him. He learns how to use his abilities and powers effectively, how to channel emotions to further increase his power, so on and so on. Eventually, after what feels like a very long time for Kak-Yak, the training finally comes to a close, Aza-Riel folding his paws behind his back once more.

  "You are very unique Kak-Yak. However, do not let your transformation and powers get to your head. Remember, you are still mortal. I shall repeat...you are still mortal, therefore you can still die just like other normal Suxarine, as well as other species. You're just more durable and harder to kill. Don't let the power get to you...although after having helped train you, I doubt you'll let that happen."

  Shaking with clenched eyes, Kak-Yak just nods, his body severely tired after all the training, even whilst in his transformed state.

  Walking up to him, Aza-Riel puts a paw onto his shoulder. "You still have much to learn. But in due time you will learn how to fully control your transformed state. I have shown you all you need to know. You must now train yourself in both body and mind." He lets go, stepping back. "Before I send you back, are there any final questions you wish to ask me?"

  "Oh! U-um, yes actually. Um, do you know of what occurred...well, back last week? With me that is? I'm just asking because your a god and a-"

  "Yes, I already know of what you're referring to. The fight you had with the angel. Entirely his fault." *quick sigh* "I don't normally meddle with...other, divine beings. But he has started to become an issue as of late. I've had a talk with him. The real him. You fought a fake. Yes, it was an angel, but he was pretending to be another...angel...the real one i spoke too. Ironic." *Shakes head* "You shouldn't worry yourself about it. The real one I've spoken to should handle the fake. Don't worry about it."

  "Oh...cool!!" Rubbing his temple, he try's to think of other questions. "Oh!! Another question!! Can I be able to eventually teleport like you can?! That'd be so cool if I'm able to do that with these powers!!! Oh, also, thank you!! For giving me these powers." He quickly bows. "Just wanted to show my gratitude and respect, sir."

  "Hmm." He waves his paw. "No need to thank me. And to answer your question, yes it is indeed possible. However, it isn't restricted to just full moon Suxarine. Normal Suxarine can learn teleportation just fine...and so can other races. Although what sets us apart from others is our ability to learn magic without the need of studying, nor with the help of scrolls. All Suxarine naturally have the ability to learn any spell they want within their minds alone, with inner training that is. This is something only we can do."

  "That's so awesome!!!"

  *nod* "Any other questions?"

  "Hmmmm...nope, no other questions come to my head sir!"

  Nodding, Aza-Riel steps forward, placing a paw onto Kak-Yak's chest, the Suxarine beginning to glow. "If you wish to ask me other questions, or simply want me to train you more in the near future, enter dream space again and call for me. Now having linked yourself to this place, it will be easier to enter by yourself. Simply meditate or sleep, and focus your soul and energy into entering dream space."

  Kak-Yak is engulfed in a bright light as the other Suxarine surrounding him chant in their native tongue his name, all bowing.

  In a bright flash of blue light, Kak-Yak yelps as he covers his eyes. After a spell, he lowers his paws and looks around. The night sky and its stars illuminated the dark world, the trees blowing freely in the wind. He was back. Finally back.

  "Full moon one."

  Ears twitching, our hero turns to Zel! "Ah!! Hehe, man that was so awesome!!! Come onnnnnn. Admit it was pretty cool!"

  Simply staring, the other Suxarine just nods along. "It has been an honor to help you, full moon one. If you request anything of me, say, a temporary place of residence, coin and so on, just say the word."

  Holding both paws up, he waves dismissively. "No no, hahaha, I'm fine really! I don't need any more help than what you've already done for me...uh...which is giving energy right? Man, this is all still so confusing to me. Oh well!!!" *Yawn* "Man am I tired. Gonna see about renting a room at an inn...in, town! Hehehehehe."

  The joke gets a short laugh out of the other Suxarine, who begins walking back to town. Kak-Yak follows behind him, starting up a conversation about alligator wrestling, which confuses Zel.
