Night had fallen over the forest.
Noona and Akin were training their dragon powers by the stream.
Moonlight reflected on the tattooed patterns on Noona's arm, making the dark energy shimmer like a tiny dragon.
"Be careful… I feel something," Akin whispered.
Noona nodded, sensing a subtle tremor in the air.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared in the middle of the stream.
Noona's dark energy surged violently as she faced her target.
"You who wields the dragon power… today we shall see how strong you truly are,"
the foe's chilling voice made the leaves tremble.
Noona and Akin stood their ground.
Akin stepped beside her, ready to support and protect.
Noona closed her eyes, gathering all her energy.
A wave of dark dragon energy shot into the air, forming a protective barrier around them.
The foe countered with a deep purple energy wave.
The clash shook the ground, and wind scattered leaves across the forest.
"We… have to work together," Noona whispered to Akin.
Akin nodded. Together, they combined their powers, generating a massive wave of energy.
The impact forced the foe to retreat temporarily.
The shadow vanished mysteriously, leaving a chilling presence behind.
Noona and Akin gasped for breath, knowing this was only the first test.
The mysterious foe would not give up easily.
"Tomorrow… we must prepare even more," Noona said.
Akin nodded firmly, as trust and cooperation began to take root between them.
