Oryan smiles widely now as he sees his destination coming closer and closer. He also notes that the clouds are getting farther and farther away. A fall from this height would mean certain doom.

Oryan pulls himself triumphantly up and over the edge with a fair amount of ease and dusts himself off. "Alright!" he exclaims aloud as he looks around to see where Master Korin is. Unfortunately all he saw was a rather large cat with a cane.

"What do you want?" The cat asks from across the tower. He begins walking in Oryan's direction.
"I'm looking for Master Korin. I was told I could find him up here," Oryan then explained to the...talking cat?

"Well you're lookin at him, kid. I'm Master Korin," the cat replies with a smirk.
"What? You're Master Korin?! Seriously?! Don't be messing with me, cat!" Oryan says, crossing his arms with a look of disbelief.

"No, I am the one you're looking for. This is my tower. I'm the one with the senzu beans and the one who lives here," The cat insists as he slams one end of his cane into the floor with both hands.
"Um...okay. I wasn't expecting this bu-" Oryan cut himself short as he sensed a familiar presence on the Earth.

"Let me help you get where you're going, Oryan. Maybe this will prove to you that I am Korin. Nimbus!" Korin shouted and a fluffy golden cloud came up from the clouds below.
"This is your own personal Nimbus. He can fly you anywhere you need to go at top speed. He can get you to where that changeling is. Good luck," the cat says as he motions for Oryan to jump onto the cloud.

Oryan is a bit awestruck that the cat knew not only Oryan's name, but what had just crossed his mind as well, but that definitely proved that this was the real Korin. He nodded and hopped onto the cloud. He wasn't sure how he was standing on, but he didn't care at the moment.
"Uh...alright...Nimbus, let's go then!" Oryan commands and the Nimbus takes flight, leaving the tower. "Thanks, Korin," Oryan yells back over his shoulder as he leaves.

A tired and partially wounded Oryan arrived at Korin's Tower. He calmly stepped off of the Nimbus and let it return to the clouds. He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. He needed to rest and meditate a bit.
"Good job, Oryan," Korin walks up beside him, looking off into the distance as he stands there.

"Once you rest I'll give you a serious training session. One that will test your endurance, speed, and most importantly, your ability to think," Korin states, turning to walk away.
"I'll be ready..." is the only reply that Oryan gives as he drifts into a meditative trance.

I can sense that Oryan and that changeling he fought didn't go all out. I don't know if the changeling was aware of his higher state, but it's clear that Oryan doesn't know of his untapped power. Still, I'll let him find it his own way. Korin thinks as he watches the young Kai meditate and waits for him so he can train him.
Oryan went deeper into his trance, trying to relax both mind and body to the fullest extent so he could get more training in later on.

Nearly an hour would pass until Oryan finally uncrossed his legts and got to his feet. He dusted himself off and took off his vest and shirt, fully examining the damage he'd sustained during the battle. His nose was sore and clearly still broke. He painfully grabbed it with his left hand and with a pop he moved it back into its proper place.

He gave his neck a quick twist in both directions, trying to pop it and work out the kinks that Fridge's last successful attack on him had caused. Oryan let out a sigh when he felt his neck pop and he paused for a moment.

The loud sound of Oryan's neck popping and cracking must have awoken Master Korin, because he'd been sleeping before that. Oryan took a deep breath as he saw Korin coming in his direction.

"Alright, Master Korin. I think I'm rested enough. My wounds will heal. The rest of me is good to go," Oryan said with a chuckle as he casually let his arms fall to his side and awaited Korin's reply.

"Hold no a second, Oryan. Before we start your training, I wanted to ask you a serious question..." Korin speaks in an odd tone. He appears to be looking around to make sure no one else is there, although Oryan couldn't figure out why.

"You wouldn't happen to be here to steal my Holy Water, would you?" Korin asks slyly, holding a small jug of what appeared to be crystal clear water.
"Um...what kind of question is that. I'm not here to steal anything, Korin..."Oryan said, scratching his head.

"Well, I ask because a lot of people know about this legendary water and they covet it and want to steal it. It can gift you with incredible power beyond your wildest dreams with just one drink," Korin explains, seemingly taunting Oryan with the water.

"Normally I'd ask if you were serious, but you proved me wrong when I didn't believe that you were Master Korin, so I'll accept that I'm probably wrong in disbelieving you now. So how about you give me a drink of that water?" Oryan asks, completely fooled by Korin's little trick.

"Well, Oryan, I only have this one jug. So if you want the Holy Water you'll have to catch me and take it from me," Korin replies, remaining perfectly calm as he does so.
"Um...okay then." Oryan says and he snatches at Korin.

Korin jerks away, taking a quick lunge step to evade Oryan's grab. Oryan was caught off guard by just how fast Korin actually was.

"Wow, Korin, you're a lot faster than you look," Oryan says as he lunges at Korin again, not going full speed but still going faster than before.
Korin sidesteps Oryan's lunge and chuckles, "They don't call me Master Korin for nothing."

"Heh, I guess that's true," Oryan replies, looking over his shoulder at Korin. What the heck? How did he just do that? It's like he's not even trying, but he's still dodging me.

Oryan then quickly whirled around and sprinted at Korin, making another snatch attempt at him, this time with both hands. He fully extended his arms for full reach, but he was still unsuccessful at grabbing the talking cat.

Oryan watched as Korin leaped forward out of his reach fluidly, almost like a deer leaping through the forest. Oryan's eyes widened. He just keeps doing it, too. The question is how....

Alright, I think I'm going to need to use my full speed. Good thing I already took off my weighted vest... Oryan thinks as he takes a sprinters opening stance.

Kicking off in Korin's direction, Oryan makes his advance at incredible speeds. I've got him for sure now. Holy Water here I come! He thinks as he gets closer and closer.

Just as Oryan thought he was close enough, he tried yet again to wrap his arms around Korin and lift him off the ground. He was going full speed so he would succeed this time, right?

Unfortunately for Oryan, Korin was somehow prepared for his attempt yet again and simply hopped to the side to evade him once again. I'm starting to get annoyed. He hasn't changed speeds at all, yet he somehow keeps avoiding me with ease.

"What's the matter, Oryan...having a little trouble catching this old cat?" Korin teases Oryan about his smooth evasion so far. That didn't really bother Oryan. It was the fact that he had dodged him, not the teasing about it, that made Oryan flustered.

"I will catch you and have a drink of that water. I will become stronger." Oryan states as his aura forms around his frame, flickering lightly as it envelops him.
