Weeks go by as my training progresses, rapidly getting more rigorous and tiring. Quin Shun certainly has high hopes for me if he is drilling me the way he is. Every morning, before sunrise, I go out into the forest to meditate. At breakfast, Quin Shun has me do some exercises with my staff to increase my hand eye coordination. After lunch he manipulates the earth, testing my agility and dexterity. At night he drills me in hand to hand combat with earthen clones.
The first week and a half was torture, up before dawn, to sleep after dusk. Every day that progressed, I gained a new array of bruises and my bodies limits were tested through and through. I barely get any sleep, but for the times I do wake up well rested, Quin Shun is sure to drill me extra hard with some evasive maneuvers; left, down, jump, duck, right, left, up, hands tucked firmly against my sides to aid in making me a smaller target to hit.
After two weeks, he changes things up a bit. I had always known there was a small waterfall deep within the forest, only some miles away from my cabin. My new routine? Jog or run from before dawn to the location of the waterfall, strip down naked, except for my underwear shielded by some magic, and meditate beneath the waterfalls until my next lesson. Talk about pain, it felt like needles were constantly being stabbed into my back and neck. It was like the feeling you get when a body part falls asleep and starts to wake up, except 10x more excruciating.
Quin Shun's reasoning? "Tolerance with pain lets the body ignore the urge to stop and retreat. In a fight, the difference between focus and distraction could mean life or death."
That is how my training progressed. Up before dawn, in bed after dusk. I surely have missed my time with Calin, I have never forgotten her warm body, her scaly flanks and the way her chest moved when she breathed. Hehe, especially not the feeling of my cock deep within her silky vent. The sensation is heavenly, almost so that I have become addicted to it.
I have had no time to relax, no time to myself since that day I pledged myself as a Protector of Earth. If I can only get a weekend away, a few hours at most so I can summon Calin again and see how she is doing, if she remembers me at all. I worry for her. She said my clutch, our clutch would be fine. In the time I have trained, I have forgone the materializing charm, long since mastering the art of materializing different objects of numerous shapes and sizes. Yes, I still wear it, it some cases where something is a little complicated for me. Complicated? Ha! I materialized a Great Dane sized dragoness in the middle of a forest! I mean, if I could do that, admittedly with fainting, then I could probably summon her without any trouble.
The only problem; is time. I don't have the time to do anything except train, sleep, eat, go to the bathroom, plumbing obtained by the use of my new materializing skill once mastered, and train again. I know there is evil out in the world that needs to be combated, to be defeated, but I am still an apprentice. Well, I do admit at having beginners luck, knocking out that villain in the black cape and her two goonies, but that was luck, nothing else.
But Quin Shun did not let me live it down. He said I had something special within me, something unique among Protectors. Within the weeks I have trained, my reservoir of power has increased dramatically, or by a good amount. If I tried that plasma bolt again, I could probably pull it off, only being mildly tired from the usage of energy.
But it still stands, that feeling has been building up again within me, ever since I first summoned Cyalina, or Calin. Her looks, her form, her eyes, they captivate me to no end. I wish I just had some time alone so I could speak with her again. She appears to me within my dreams, but I can do nothing but watch and wait as her stomach gradually grows, distending with an innumerable amount of eggs that I had planted into her ripe egg chamber.
Maybe, if I ask if I can have some time off, to practice on my own, I could get to see my lovely Calin again. It might be too much to ask, I know he will never agree to such a thing. Training is the most important thing right now, I can't abandon my pledge I made, that would be, wrong, immoral. But still, if this goes on, I don't know how much longer I could take until I just forego one night of sleep to transform my cock again and jack off to relief the pressure. I know, that would not work for the long term, but it would be the only thing to keep me sane. The only thing to do is try, to ask Quin Shun if I could have a weekend off, or just a few hours.
~~~~~~~~~~
Well, what do you know? Quin Shun said I have trained hard enough for now that I have earned not just a weekend, but a full week! I mean, talk about a surprise. I thought he would reject it the second I asked him. I totally misunderstood him. I don't know if it is from a similar experience, but he has allowed me some relaxation, without his company for one full week. Seven...full...days. Of course, he will be nearby should anything 'evil' pop up, but I don't expect it to. At least, I hope not. That would be very awkward to explain to Quin Shun how I was spending my time to relax.
Anyway, now that I am alone, I can finally summon Calin again. My mate, my love, my soul's desire. I have missed her so much; it yearns to feel the touch of her rough scales again, the gentle caress of her kiss, the twitch of her muscle and the warm embrace of her sex. It was very hard for me to decide where I should materialize her. In my cabin where no one can see us? In front of my cabin? In the area where we first mated or by the falls? Decisions decisions.
I think I should just keep it with where I first materialized her, in the area where I first meditated. Clad in my gray training robes, I take a leisurely walk to my destination. Along the way, I think about how much more powerful I am than when I first became a Protector. I knew nothing about them, yet, I single handedly defeated the most wanted evil villain and her two Hench men. From guessing what I could possibly do from just that feat, I think it will be wondrous to find out.
And that's another thing. My robes have changed, not much, but they have altered their design and color on their own. Instead of the depressing gray, they have turned to a more, vibrant blue. The sleeves have gotten tighter, the slack at the end disappearing so it is a normal shirt. My pants have become the same color as well, although a few shades darker. Quin Shun said that I have been progressing well in my training, as indicated by my robes. He said that blue is the color for clarity and focus. My lessons under the waterfall have gotten easier, the discomfort barely registering to my mind while I expand my thoughts to encompass the forest to observe everything yet nothing at all.
With a big sigh, I finally reach my destination. It is the same as the first time I had come here, a decently large area with a stump slightly off the center. I walk towards the stump and sit down, looking around to just take in the sights and sounds of the forest. In my training, Quin Shun has taught me to respect nature, to not go through everyday just living your life, because someday you might not have one.
Saying a silent prayer under my breath, I clear my mind and clear my throat to get ready to summon Calin again. However she is doing, I hope she is Ok. With shaky nerves of both fear and excitement, I bring the words to bear. "Virtutem animus affero, live, female, Dragoness."
The energy exits my body at an alarming rate at first, making me lurch forward while my eyes go wide. I quickly slow my breathing and take a firm control of my power, slowing it down so that it does not leave me so hastily. Quin Shun made it apparent that you cannot die from overuse of energy, falling into a long coma however is most likely. He taught me to regulate the flow of my magic so that I don't get stressed out or go into shock.
Once I have the flow of energy under control, I visualize Calin in my mind as I remember her and stare at the spot where I want to materialize her. The process is slow, much slower than last time, but I contribute it to be because of the extra life forms she carries; the clutch of eggs that rest in her egg chamber, ready to be laid sometime in the near future.
As time goes by, a hazy image starts to form, followed by silver, red, orange, pink and blue flecks of fire that swirl in a circle, the same coloration that makes up her scales. The form is as big as a Great Dane, definitely Calin. She is positioned so most of her weight is distributed to her hind legs while her tail is spread out behind her with her wings nestled lightly against her back.
I smile as she takes form, the smaller amounts of detail being formed as the energy slowly drains from me, making me dizzy, but not enough to faint. First comes her head, her expressive frills and her horns. Like a computer generated model, her body comes soon after, becoming more distinct, defined.
I can definitely tell something has changed, the way she carries herself is best described as careful, protective. Soon enough, I lower my gaze, finding that her normally smooth and curving stomach is laden with about a dozen or so eggs, swelling outwards to show individual creases of the shells inside. My smile widens, but not before the fatigue gets to me. I stand up from sitting on the log, immediately regretting it as I start to lean forward, nothing stopping me from falling.
Just like last time, the vast array of silver, red, orange, pink, and blue specks converge on a point before vanishing as the form of a gravid dragoness hastily hops over to me and cushions my fall. I wrap my arms tightly around her sturdy neck, frills pressing against her neck until she lowers me to the ground. Once I am safe, I release my hold and Calin backs up a few steps before sitting down again on her haunches.
"Just couldn't wait to fuck me could you?" She says with a sarcastic laugh, her tail flicking to either side, obviously happy to see me again.
I moan slightly, not from pain or discomfort, but from joy. "You know that wasn't it." I reply, moving myself into a comfortable sitting position before looking at the sight of my creation once more. At least I did not pass out like last time and her personality seems to have changed as well.
