Training ? Baby Steps
Ground and center we begin
Feel the shape inside your skin
Feel the earth and feel the air
Ground a center how and where
Ground a center don't just frown
Find the leaks and lock them down
Baby games you've never learned
Bring you pain you never earned
Ground a center do it child
If you tame that talent wild
Girl you learned it in your youth
Life's not fair and that's the truth
?Oww!? Came the growl from the green-haired woman as she sprawled on the ground. ?What was that for?!??
?Object lesson, Onyx.? The silver hair woman replied dryly. ?You need to make this a reflex. Now again, find your ground and then center. This is the most basic step before I can show you how to control your magic. Without your ground and center, how can you possibly shield??
A young man with an owl accompanied the two women. He sat just outside the training circle in the basement of a non-descript warehouse in the WestEnd. He seemed to be staring at the two, until you looked at his eyes.
?Again, Ground and Center.? The Silver-hair woman nodded to the young man.
Onyxia scrambled to right herself and groped for her ground. She she moved to get the center, she felt herself mentally shoved again and toppling over off-balance. ?Damnit, how am I supposed to if he?s shoving at me, Shar???
Ground a center once again
You're not finished, I'll say when
Ground a center in your sleep
Ground a center till you weep
Ground a center that's the way
You might get somewhere someday
Yes I know I'm being cruel
But you're as stubborn as a mule
Ground a center do it child
If you tame that talent wild
Girl you learned it in your youth
Life's not fair and that's the truth
?Is the enemy going to wait until you are ready before they attack? Going to invite them to tea while you get yourself properly ground? Onyxia, you know as well as I do, that you have to be ready at all times. Again, Greenie, Ground and Center.? She commanded with the easy air of a teacher.
Again the Lycan scrambled to right herself and grab her ground. It was tough to concentrate with Darius slamming into her. She was just establishing her center when the next shove rocked her. She growled in frustration at this. She had to learn how to control her abilities. She had to prove she was worthy of the responsibility her mate had passed to her.
There was a shake of a silver mane as Shar watched her kinswoman struggle with this lesson. Had she gotten to the girl when she was younger, the lesson would be simple and ingrained. ?Again? Make it reflex, Onyx.?
Ground a center feel the flow
Can you tell which way to go
Instincts not enough my friend
Make it reflex in the end
Ground a center hold it tight
Damn it greenie that's not right
Every tear you shed hurts me
But that's the way it has to be
Ground a center do it child
If you tame that talent wild
Girl you learned it in your youth
