Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 Training Dog

Lunar stretches out her hand at the edge of cliff, summoning the water to raise like spraying fountain and pull Solar back to the cliff.

Lunar: Sit down!

Solar: I'd rather not.

The huge wolf Solar sits down, as she commands. His mind tells him not to do this embarrassing posture in wolf form, but his body acts in another way.

Lunar: Swing your dog's tail!

Solar: I'd rather not.

He swings his wolf's tail, as she commands. His wolf's tail is supposed to keep it cool, but it swings between the left and right.

Lunar: Jump off the cliff!

Solar: I'd rather not.

He jumps off the cliff again, as she commands. He'd rather not jump off the cliff again, but his body is out of his control, when he's enchanted by her magic.

Lunar pulls him back to the cliff, and intends to train him one more round.

Lunar: Let's try again.

Solar: Hold on. I think…I think I have already mastered the method how to control and use shape shift with my mind.

Lunar: May I ask how are you gonna control and use shift shape with your mind?

Solar: At the moment I dive in river, I feel my life being threatened, and unconsciously transform into a huge wolf to protect myself from dangers. I think I could transform into wolf form, when my life is being threatened. In the second thought, when my life is being threatened, I feel extremely angry. Maybe it's my anger that allows me to do shape shift. Maybe I could return human form, when I just calm down.

Solar watches upon the moon, howling at the moon to vent out his werewolf's wrath. He returns human form, when he calms down again.

Lunar: Have a seat.

Solar: Yes, Miss Tudor.

They sit down at the edge of cliff, under the moon, over the chattering stream.

Lunar: How are you feeling, when you are being trained?

Solar: I feel frightened yet excited, when I dive in river from the cliff; I feel embarrassed yet angry, when I'm being told to sit down like a little dog; I feel ashamed yet pleasant, when I'm being told to swing my tail.

Lunar: I tell you to jump, because to jump is to take a leap of faith; I tell you to sit down, because to sit down is to trigger your wrath; I tell you to swing your dog's tail, because to swing your dog's tail is to relax again.

Solar: So the key to transform into wolf form is to trigger my wrath; the key to return into human form is to relax again; the key to control shape shift with my mind is to control my wrath with my mind.

Lunar: To feel your wrath is to feel your power within your blood. To feel or not to feel, that's not the question. The question is how to feel the wrath within your heart?

Solar: Miss Tudor, guide me, please!

Lunar: Human basic emotions can be classified into six types: happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, surprise and anger. You should begin to note these words in your mind, when I begin teaching. Do you understand?

Solar: Yes, Miss Tudor.

Lunar: Anger can affect body's fight response. Oftentimes it's considered a negative emotion, but sometimes it can be good. It offers you power to protect yourself, when you notice a threat. But when it's expressed in unhealthy ways. Uncontrolled anger can quickly turn to aggression, abuse or violence.

Solar: What do you recommend to trigger anger?

Lunar: Reflect on what situations typically trigger frustration for you.

Solar: I am a civilized gentleman with nice temper. Oftentimes I am nice to everybody. So it would be hard to trigger frustration for me.

Lunar: Everybody would feel frustration sometimes. May I ask on what situations you might feel frustration?

Solar: I told you I had a crush on a girl that I once liked, but what I didn't tell you is that she has a boyfriend. It would trigger my frustration, when I check her facebook page with some photos between her and her boyfriend.

Lunar: Picture their kissing scene.

Solar: I'd rather not.

Lunar makes him picture the kissing scene between his loved one and someone else, and triggers his frustration, which leads him to feel his anger.

Solar pictures the kissing scene between Lunar and someone else, and transforms into wolf form with uncontrolled wrath. His wrath blinds his eyes; his claw raises upon her in front of him; his mind is out of control with desires of destroying everything in sight.

Lunar: Relax!

He calms down, as she commands, when he's enchanted by her magic. He returns into human form, but forgets what just happened before.

Solar: What happens?

Lunar: You picture the kissing scene between your loved one and someone else, and lose your mind. It's proved that you can trigger your anger with your mind, but still you need to learn how to control your anger.

Solar: What do you recommend to encourage affection?

Lunar: Love magic. When she's enchanted by love magic, she will fall in love with you with her whole heart. Do you want to learn love magic?

Solar: I'd rather not, Miss Tudor.

Lunar: Why not?

Solar: We have made each other's triumphant happy endings.

Lunar: What do you know about happy endings?

Solar: Maybe happy ending for her is being with her loved one; maybe happy ending for me is just moving on; maybe happy ending for both of us is letting go. It would be hard to let go, but I have to let go, before I could move on.

Lunar: You said you haven't ever been in love yet. Why are you so mature about love?

Solar: It's true that I haven't ever been in love yet. I know about love, because I learn it from romance movies. Love is so easy in the romance movies, it is so hard in the reality.

Lunar: In the reality, love is actually all around us. The young and the old, they all have been in love, except for the single ones.

Solar: I totally agree with you.
