After a few weeks
Rio sat in his bed. He had not slept since he got here. He was starting to catch a cold from everything. He did not like it here but who cared. He did not have no one who cared about him. He still did everything that the headmaster asked the boys to do.

Today was a normal day, the guards filled the halls unlocking doors and pounding on them as boys filled in behind them. Today they had classes, dueling outside on straw mats, but today they would be able to use their powers to their full advantage.

Rio got out of bed and started to get sick. He still drug himself down to the courtyard to do whatever.

The guards didn't care, they only pushed every one out and stood as they all lined up in front of the headmaster. " Today boys, you are going to be numbered off, then you duel who ever is the same number as you. It should be good practice, and if your lucky enough. We might send you off to the army. " he said, any place was probably better than here. Then looked out over the boys, sending a number to each of them.

Rio caught his number and turned into his lion form. He waited for his mate to come in front of him.

Perhaps it was out of coincident, but Rio was paired with the boy from the event in the courtyard, who proved as he had said to be a bird, a very large, almost prehistoric bird with large wings and talons. He readied himself, dipping his beak low and his wings tilted high, ready to furl out in a moment.

Rio looked at the boy and roared at him. He would beat anyone they put in front of him.

The large bird's eyes swept over him for a moment, checking weak points and thresh holds that would gain access to those weak points. It didn't help much that the large bird didn't have a whole lot of space here, but all the same he threw his wings out into the air, thrusting down hard and sending himself up into the air and circled for a moment above the poor bloke, before dropped down talons first, trying to grab for his thick mane, which looked to prove a nice purchase.

Rio watched as the bird took off. He also watched as he came down to grab him. He waited until the bird was near him. He jumped up to try to bite the bird's leg.

With quick reaction and years of training at the school the large bird knew how to cover weak points, so when the lion tried to bite his leg, he thrust out his talons in an effort to scratch up his mouth.

They hit Rio in the mouth but he still kept coming to under the bird.

The bird did get nipped a bit, but the skin was tough around his talons and it didn't bother him much as he dug his talons into the lions mane, pushing his full weight and more down onto the lion, in hopes of knocking him down to get a kill strike, which would mark the end of the match, then another would come up.

Rio gave up. He could not get out of the grip by the bird. He changed into his human form.

The bird flew up and released as the boy transformed, then followed suit as he landed again. " You gave up, what a coward, it wasn't like I was going to kill you. " he said, watching as another of the boys stood and transformed, this one a horse.
