A New End

Light came forth as she stretched out her arms and focused on the practice dummy in front of her.

"Impressive," a man with dark long hair whispered as he neared the lady who seemed to be his age but somehow displays an unprecedented reverence for him "but not quite good enough."

He did his thing, with a snap of a finger, the dummy burned. Enveloped in crisp purple flames, the scarecrow like mannequin crumbled to dust.

"That's how you call forth flames." He glanced at the lady beside her, who now seemed more like a child than a lady.

"Yes, master." She nodded and positioned herself in front of the next dummy.

"Now focus." He said, and stepped back.

She stayed calm. Bowed her head, and remained silent. The winds of the Sahara whistled and swooshed as it was the only sound that filled acres and acres of vast nothingness.

She took in a deep breath, raised her head and -- BOOM.

"Hah," the man chuckled "I told you to burn it not make it explode. Looks like there's more to be taught."

Obviously disappointed in herself, she kept her head bowed.

The man walked towards an odd looking vehicle and started to climb in, but before he got into it, he shouted: "But don't worry, the Flames did not choose a wrong successor! In all my lifetimes as a familiar, this was the only time I saw a Warrior make such an explosion in her first day of training." He smiled a faint one and went on, "Now get in here and we still have lunch to worry about!"

The lady lifted her head up, wiped her tears, and started running towards him. "ITADAKIMASU!" she yelled.

And that was the beginning of the end, another Warrior has been chosen, another era has dawned, yet still the war goes on. Will this lifetime be the last cycle of Warriors? All humanity can only hope so.
