so they went home and Mole was asking all about who won the tournament and so on.

The next day Mole awakens after having the very same dream (chapter :1) He found it troubling but decided to keep it to himself . He goes to the kitchen and he finds Lloyd reading a book while Shawn was cooking .He decides to sit down meanwhile

Zephyr was sleeping on top of a tree ( time 7:20 at morning) in the woods near Moles Village (Village name is Hosi ,it is named after the founder the village is 20 km away from the Kindom of Ignisia ) It looked like he was camping there for the night .A village scout found him sleeping so called him out since he couldn't see him clearly. Zerphy replied while descending from the tree " Im sorry to intrude i was just passing through ,and it was late so i decided to rest" .The scout let him move freely .Zephyr was walking in the direction of Ignisia.

After eating Mole went to Ignisia in search of a master to train him his been looking for one since he was 5 years of age and 3 years have past he still has not find a single teacher , Teachers refuse to teach those without any elemental ability so they kept turning him down , Door after door and master after another they all turn him down .But every morning he keeps going to knock in their door with a smile . After being rejected again Mole decides to walk around the market place as he walks he hears rumours about a Man who can teach anyone martial arts .Mole quickly asked " where have you seen this man?" He asked an old woman in the market place who sells fruits and vegetables. " it will cost you 5 bronze coins" says the lady. Mole give her 1 silver coin and the lady thank him and tell him " He just past by here ,He was hedding to a bridge wearing a brown gown ,you wont miss him if you go now "

Mole runs to the direction of the bridge at full speed ,While running a horse pulling a cart past him at full speed .A girl around his age (she had pink and shot her .she was wearing a blue t shirt and white skirt)was inside with two males who seem to be around 20 above at age . The girl suddenly headbut the One of the males holding her causing a pattern of confusion leading the cart to crash close to the bridge The horse and the two males fell to the water and the girl held on to a hanging cart .Mole ran towards the cart and tried to pull the cart but he had no strength to do so ,The cart shifted and she started to loose her grip to the cart , Mole tries to reach out for her but he couldn't reach her . She lost her grip and fell into the water Mole jumped after her .The water had a strong current it was not easy to swim to the water kept driving them faster and faster but Mole held on to

her . Then a man jumped in to save them and he did successfully. Mole and girl were coughing water and he saw that it wa Zerphys who rescued them .
