The entrance fee is one dragon scale

Koda flew over to Tiirdra's floating island. It took awhile but Koda was able to heal the burns left from trying to pull the sword from the ground and decided to get to training. Koda stopped right outside of the gravity field they used for and asked if he was free to train with him and he was. They began right away, Koda has been doing alot better then he has in the past, but he was not quite at the level to put up much of a fight against Nivere. After a few fights Nivere had an idea that could motivate Koda to ramp up his training. He made a bet that if Koda was able to knock off one of Nivere's scales then he would take Koda to an Amusement park! Koda was confused at first and then remembered that he never actually been to one and would make an interesting goal to work towards. They shook hands which marked the beginning of Nivere's challenge.

Weeks went by as Koda tried desperately to knock one of Nivere's scales off. He grew stronger with every spar of course, but Nivere's strength was just superior to Koda's and Koda was under the disadvantage of having to adjust to higher levels of gravity that he is normally used to. After the first week Koda tapped into the power gifted to him by his grandmother as wings sprung out of his back. This power helped out Koda a lot, and it even got him close to knocking off a scale once or twice, but Nivere always found a way to knock him down before he could wiggle one free. Another fight and another lose, Koda got once more and looked at his sword before dashing at Nivere full force, but this time it was different. This Koda was watching and even though he was taken down almost right away Koda saw what was keeping him from getting the scale; his sword.

Despite Koda's training with a sword and decently good accuracy, Koda was a lot slower then Nivere. With a sword Koda's movements were easier to read and predict, giving Nivere time to dodge and think where he will attack next. After coming to this relization Koda figured out how he was going to take Nivere by surprise. He stood opposite of Nivere like he always does and rushed in full speed. Right when Nivere put up his defenses Koda tossed the sword aside and came in with a completely different stance(while having Kama's wings). Nivere was surprised by this change of tatic, but he was fast and could adapt quicker then Koda could attack. The fight was going much like it has been ever since they began training together. Nivere launched one finishing blow right at Koda that would surely take him down, but right before the punch landed Koda disappeared from Nivere's sight briefly and Koda only needed a second. Nivere quickly looked down to see an uppercut coming straight for his cheek, but it was way to late for him to dodge, so he had no choice but to take the hit. With one cleaning rising uppercut, a tiny and shining object came flying off of Nivere's face and dropped right in the healing pool of water located right next to their sparing location. Nivere looked surprised, but proud at the same time. He walked over and patted Koda on the back. He won the bet and Nivere is a dragon of his word, they both rested and got cleaned up before heading out for a little bit of fun and relaxation at a local Amusement park.
