It was a lovely sunny day in the Dragon Realms and it wasn't a really humid day on top of that. The sounds of Frog Weeds croaking in the distance could be heard and the sounds of some lost ape soldiers getting attacked by the aggressive Bulb Spiders for invading their territory. It was the sounds of a new life. The sound of happiness and love. The place of freedom and a new chance at life. This was the home of Raymond Dragonfang, son of Spyro the Dragon.

Raymond himself was right now training against some dummies in the dojo part of the temple under the watchful eye of Terrador. Initially, Raymond didn't want to do any crazy training, but he did enjoy killing these training dummies and their attacks didn't even hurt him. It was almost like he was playing a video game, only this time it was real and he was actually killing something in a real life video game. Not to mention, he did enjoy unlocking Spyro's different breath attacks in game. More dummy soldiers spawned and charged at Raymond, only for him to slash them to pieces with Gaul's stolen scimitars.

"Excellent work, Raymond. You're quite proficient with those blades." Terrador replied, summoning some of the leader dummies to attack the albino boy." But practices make perfect. You'll be a seasoned warrior in no time."

"I'm not trying to be a seasoned Warrior, just having myself some fun!" Raymond remarked in a playful manner, impaling and slashing the leader dummies as they disappeared into Spirit gems and the spirit gems were being absorbed into his body, making him a bit stronger." And I just feel a little stronger fighting these dummies too, dude."

Since Raymond had become a permanent resident in the Dragon Realms and now was living amongst the dragons, the spirit gems had accepted him and allowed the boy to absorb them and use their powers, like how the dragons can and the apes through artificial means. In other words, in a few years or so he'd possibly be able to perform elemental attacks and cast some magic with proper training. The Spirit gems also extended his life span, giving him some extra strength and defense as well, giving him powers a normal human could never receive but only dream about.

"You can feel the power of the dragons life force flowing through your veins, Raymond. There's a fire burning inside you and it's slowly but surely growing bigger and hotter." Terrador responded, sending out more soldier and leader ape dummies to battle the albino boy." And when that flame has nowhere to go, unleash it."

Raymond giggled and saw the dummies charging at him and shoots them using a green fireball attack, destroying a couple of them. With Gaul's swords in his possession, he had gained access to using that ability and swung his swords around like crazy, destroying nearly all of the dummies and seeing the commander dummies making a move against him.

Remembering from concept art about Gaul's swords, he combined the blades into a dual-bladed weapon, similar to Darth maul's lightsaber. He laughed happily and began spinning around the weapon at the commander dummies and charged at them in full force, slicing them all in half with the blade. He smirked and grinned happily and began spinning around like a tornado and destroying all the dummies, before growing dizzy and falling to the ground a giggling and overly happy wreck.

Terrador had to admit the child's got some skill to him. He certainly does have some experience using swords. The boy had told them about when he was younger how he'd reenact some stuff he saw in something called a television and did play sword fights with other kids. The things and technology he spoke of was definitely something incredible to him. He smiled and saw the boy shake himself together and got back up on his feet.

"Kid, you're dismissed for now. Excellent work on your training." Terrador responded, allowing the boy to leave the dojo." I expect more of that in the future."

"Sir, Yes, Sir! Depends on if I'll come back, general!" Raymond replied, blowing a raspberry at the Earth Dragon and running out of the dojo, leaving an amused Terrador behind.
