This is an event that occurred during the time while Dalaila and her minions were taking some time off before their big mission to Labrynthia. In the vast expanse of Wildspace, there is a giant rock hurling towards Abeir-Toril. However, this is not just a rock, nor is it a boulder, its a Spelljammer in the shape of a :iosmoyai: belonging to none other than our friendly neighborhood mysterious gamer.
Within this spelljammer, there is a pod which can put people to sleep when travelling long distances. However, as X peacefully snoozes away, her soul is invited to a place beyond time by a person who was once her mentor and teacher during her time at the Cosmo Regaclith University, a place quite unlike the one on faerun.
As she opens up her eyes and finds herself in this strange demiplane of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, even more stranger people, some dressed like clowns are roaming about.
Astraea: 1... 2... 3.... You're out!
Looking over to the voice, The Goddess Astraea has Lux in a complete piledriver with his head buried in the ground, surrounded by a large crater as if he was dropped like a meteor from high up.
B: Oh, look who made it. Lux come over here so I can introduce you.
X: Where am I, What's going on and what the... is that Professor Bunchkins. I havent seen you in like a hundred years.
B: It has been some time now, its good to see that you're doing well, still living freely huh. I do apologize for the sudden summons but I was hoping you would be able to help me with something.
This here is Lux Pendragon (:Susge~1:), and I was hoping you would be his sparring teacher for a while.
L: Hello Ma'am, my name is Lux and it is an honor for you to meet me.
X: Ahuh? Part of me still thinks I'm asleep and this is all fake so sure why not. Let's have a quick bout to see what you're made of.
B: Don't hold back Lux, She is quite proficient in martial arts and won the Space Regaclith Martial Arts 4 years in a row.
X: Let's slowly settle into this.
A surge of energy surrounds X as a visible aura of gold starts to engulf her like flames. With the flames fluctuating around her, slowly coming to a calm, her hair seems to grow longer, turning into an even brighter shade of gold.
There remains a moment of silence between the two for what feels like an eternity, until X decides to make the first move, slamming her fist onto Lux's armor as a loud "THUNK" sound can be heard, followed by Lux getting pushed back by a few ft. He tries to retaliate with his fist, only for X to easily dodge his punches and attack him when an opening presents itself.
X: It's obvious, you have no training in martial arts. There's no reason to fight in a way you're not used to. Do what you've always done and fight like yourself.
Hearing her words, Lux uses his Channel Oath to create a bolt of lightning, wielding it as if it were a sword, once again charging in. This time he deals much better, landing actual hits, but taking even more in return. This fight goes on for a while until they decide to take a break for a little while.
X: Your potential is astounding and the bloodline you possess even more so. You said you're a human? I can see that but I can also sense very faint Celestial and quite a lot more Demonic powers within you, much of which is being overtaken by the Dragon's soul seeping into yours.
L: ...
X: You have the raw strength and fearlessness to always be at your top in the heat of battle but you're severely lacking in three areas.
1. The biggest one is that you take being fearless too far. One day you're going to come across a foe stronger than you and if you don't feel fear at that point, you will most certainly perish.
2. You're making little to no attempts to use the gifts of your lineage within you. Sure your Celestial lightning is strong but you're stopping yourself from reaching your own peak without utilizing everything.
3. The dragon that's integrated with you, Aren't you friends or something? Why are not fighting together and instead taking turns against your enemy. If you worked together, you wouldn't feel such a burden to your vitality.
V: WE ARE NOT FRIENDS!!!111
X: But, you're still fighting on the same team right? Fight together and stop being morons.

X: Do you know the meaning of "Draconic Power", its something a person close to me taught me about it but it is not limited to just Dragons. It's the ability to use the benefits of lineage in order to bolster the core of a person.
L: Core?
The **Core** of a person is fundamentally made up of three things: Mind, Body, and Soul. In a simple sense, the Mind is your ability to control the weave, the Body is your physical prowess and the Soul is the ability to control your own Spiritual Energy, or Ki. Each of these can be improved but what your limit is determined by who the person is.
There are certain techniques that can allow you to bolster one or the other too through a process of exchange. Wizard's Arcane Recovery? Body to Mind. This one is going to force to me to delve into the subject of Magic Circuits so just take this at face value. Barbarian Rage? Soul to Body. Monk's Ki-Empowered Strikes? Soul to Body. I think you get the idea. Usually, the exchange is from the Mind or Soul to the Body but exceptions always exist, like in the fight I showed you earlier.
My own body is not particularly strong, but I can use my own Draconic Blood and Aasimar body, both which are rich in magic to enhance my Soul and Body at once. By using one aspect to increase the others, your overall capabilities will rise. Normally, this doesn't really have any visual impact and isn't obvious until you are quite literally breaking past your own limits. For me, my hair happens to grow a bit longer and change shade.
To better control this, I usually stay in a state of suppressed self. My natural hair is supposed to be Silver but by being suppressed and only unleashing this power in limited quantities, you make sure to stay at 100% power without creating any sort of negative drawbacks, besides well my hair turning Gold.
X once again has a similar aura as power surges around her, this time crackling with lightning as her hair turns as beautiful azure. This unleashed power seems to be on a level unlike the other.
X: I've taught you the basics of what a person's Draconic Power is capable of. Now you try to emulate its strength.
Lux this entire time has been paying attention, making sure to listen carefully. He has been trying to suppress the shadows within him because he is afraid of becoming the disaster many rightfully think of him as. But if what X is saying is true, then all he has to do is use his Soul to conquer body and mind. With this belief, he gets up and readies himself to fight because to achieve his dream, he needs to become far stronger than he is now.
X: Oh, btw. Why are both of you dressed like clowns and been speaking oddly this entire time.
