Zeruel closed his syes as he felt his mind being seperted from his body. Now to see how much she knows. He thought.

Meanwhile, Ashleigh hid behind a rock, trying to figure out how to fight who was out there.
"Now, I know that it's fighting with magic, but in this cilmate, I can't survive. But this is the opposite of the plane, so if I think bad thoughts than good....that's it!" and with that, Ashleigh got up and blasted one of the enemies, which blocked her attack. Then she put her theory to the test, by changing her mind set, and basting it again. To her surprise, it was destroied.
"Wow, it did work" she exclaimed as Zeruel arrived, "It's like the one I did before, problem solving."

Zeruel clapped. "Exactly right! Excellent!" He said.

"So, changing mind sets helps me here" Ashleigh said, "Now what?

"Yes, it does." Zeruel replied."And with you, that is especially powerful."

"Ok.....any other tests?" Ashleigh asked.

"Yes. But," He summoned his staff from his aura. "I want to see your power first hand."

"Uh oh" Ashleigh said, "Is that neassary?"

"It is the best way to test your sparring skills." Zeruel replied.

"EH?????" Ashleigh exclaimed, "You kidding right?"

"No, I am not." Zeruel replied. "I will give you the first move."

"But I don't know any dark magic" Ashleigh protested, "Changing mindsets, sure but knowing actual dark magic, different story."

"You don't need to know dark magic." Zeruel replied. "Not all dark angels use dark magic, believe it or not."

"Say what?" Ashleigh exclaimed, "How can that be?"

"We are angels." Zeruel replied. "It's a matter of how our auras are aligned. If they are aligned with the sun, they are light angels. If they are aligned to the moon, they are dark angels. You are unique in the fact that you are not aligned to one. Your aura is aligned to both the sun and the moon."

"Sun and moon?" Ashleigh asked, "So that means I can be either an light or dark angel?"

"No, it means you are both." Zeruel replied. "That hasn't happened since Atlantis sunk. But then again, we haven't gotten this many angels in such short a time frame--either dark or light--since before Egypt."

"Then why didn't Uriel didn't tell me in the first place?" Ashleigh asked.

"I do not know." Zeruel replied. "My old friend is notorious for hiding things until the last minute. It's one of his...quirks." He raised his staff. "Now, are you going to make the first strike or not?"

Ashleigh shook her head.
"Got too much to think about now" she replied.

Zeruel lowered his staff. "Then we will not be able to begin your training." He replied.

"I'm sorry" Ashleigh said, backing away before turning away, crying.

Zeruel dispelled his staff and walked over to the girl. "Is something troubling you?" He asked.

"I didn't want to be here in the first place. I was forced. I rather die than train" Ashleigh said.
"Zeruel, don't harass her. You will activate her aura!" Hsa said over the com.

"I know," Zeruel replied. "But she does need to get her to blow off that steam of hers."

"If you want to beat up on someone, then do it on me. Here, neither of us will be hurt." He said to the girl.
