Darkness

Assadar awoke from his sleep...

The sun had already risen

Great... Late on the first day... he muttered.

He threw on his cloak, picked up his staff and headed out the door. He headed north. Shea had said she would be on the outskirts, so he figured north... No rhyme or reason... Just north...

He headed out from the Inn. He walked up the street in hopes that Shea would more or less find him. He made sure to keep his eyes and ears open. Hopefully his run in with Storm would not effect his training with Shea. He would soon find out...

::Shea sat outside that no name inn to the north when she heard footsteps.. Jade hues looked to the road:: Your late...! :;she spun that dagger in her hand, she was sitting below that tree,now for awhile she had been training.. her self. She ahd abandoned that cloak and had laid it over her mare there inside the stables,looking ready for training of any kind wella rmed with that bow over her shoulder and quiver strapped across her back, her long dark hair was pulled high behind her head::

I figured you'd be late ::she rose to her feet, with out her cloak shea full arsenal of weapons could be seen. Sword on the left, sword and dgager on the right and that bow over her arm.::

So you ready. I must warn you my methods may be different from Storms...

::shea figured she'd warn him:: Im not going to go easy on you, but we will take it slow.. at first...

Assadar

He had noticed her before she had said anything, but he know he would be reprimanded any how...

Yeah, sorry about the lateness, I will try not to let it happen again.

He looked surprised at seeing her arsenal of weaponry, and being quite impressed to be honest.

Shea, I would expect you to be different than the rest... ::Looking determined:: And as for taking it easy, I don't need easy, I need training. But thanks for your concern anyhow. ::Easing his glare:: Your the trainer, so where to now?

Its not as if I mind you being late. :;Shea really didn't care when he showed up, she had been sititng there most of the night training on and off walking around.She had time to kill,if he was late if he was early it didnt much matter to ehr, he wanted to be trained so it was all up to him.No matter if she was the one training him::

::She nodded to him:: I know you need training,but its up to you where do you want to start. Pick an element any element ::that was a test,shea didnt trust him as far as she could toss him,and she would train him, but they would go at her pace.:: I'm not concered about you,I wont go easy on you,for a reason. I figure you want this training so you must be ready to face what ever you have to...

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-02 02:16 EST
::Hmm... Any element... His trouble was with fire, but it could wait::

Air... I want to start with Air...

::Not easy, but not fire...::

You are the trainer, so you teach me! Let's begin...

::Shea nodded:: vilya ::she spoke the words in elvish and the wind seemed to blow past ehr as if she had summoned it:;

Air it is then...

::shea would slowly lowered ehr self back to sitting,to focus her mind again, hoping he would follow suit..:: tell me what do you know of Air..so that I might have some place to begin..

Juri sat upon the rooftop of the No name Inn and smirked, already Shea was enjoying herself, and like he promised, he was there to watch the entertainment, crossing his arms and leaning back a little, he would remain unseen and quiet through-out, knowing that after the training was over, He and Shea had a little bit of business to work out.

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-02 02:55 EST
::Air::

Air is all around us. Without Air, there is nothing to breathe. Air is also powerful. With it, one can control the wind... The weather to some degrees. I know that it is not just an "earthly" thing. But that there are realms, one of which is the air realm. I confess, I know a little of how to control them, but I do not know much about them.

::Looking much more determined...::But, I am willing to learn.

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-02 03:10 EST
::Shea nodded:: good you've done some homework on it, good... ::he was right with out air there would be nothign to breathe no wind and no life, shea knew of the elemental realms places pure elements could go, even she had seen it or felt it for the least part::

Good...::shea jade hues shifted to silver and the winds picked up around her, wind was her element,, the winds came to her at her beck and call. starting with air was a fine choice::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-02 16:47 EST
::Feeling a cool breeze kick up, he looked around, he realized that the winds had shifted. Was she controlling the winds right now? If so, than Shea was good. He hoped to learn a thing or two from her.::

::Speaking a little more confidently:: Shea, I know very little of actually controlling the elements. I came here with some knowledge, but hope to learn more from those that can teach me here. I understand that we may have two different forms of elemental taming, but that is good. My training can go back to the basics if it must.

::Looking around a little more, he noticed someone sitting on the roof of the Inn that they had met at... Sifting his eyes to the man, and then back to Shea, he cocked his head a little, and said in a softer voice:: Shea... Who is the man that is watching us?

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-03 00:01 EST
::Shea was controling the wind shea was that good,jade hues flickered open the edges of her jade hues rounded with silver light..and color:: what have you learned of elementals to date ::Shea smiled she knew Juri was there on the roof of that inn she'd asked him to come:: Thats Juri, don't mind him, he and I have some business later on, hes just going to watch the training..::shea didnt lower ehr voice not evena touch, Shea half expected Assadar to sense Juri there..elves were alike in that way if nothing else::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-03 03:53 EST
::Taking heed of Juri, and remembering his face, Assadar then turned back to Shea, looking at her concentration on the elements, yet seemingly concentrating on the training:: Where I come from, elementals take shape in their original form. Air is kind of like a concentrated air, water the same, earth, like a pile of moving rocks, and fire, like a pillar of moving fire. The realm that I come from, we can also call forth elementals to do our bidding, but mostly they are called forth to fight for us, or aid us in battle. Here it seems different though. Elementals here seem to take a shape as of that of a human being. I have never seen this kind before.

::That was he knew of elemental beings::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-03 04:05 EST
::shea nodded:: I am but a vessle, a mage , Storm is a pure elemental, a guardian... so she is different from I..we all take different roads towards simailar ends... :;she listened to what he had to say about what he knew from his realm it was very different, but even so there were things in common:: well its not as different as you might think... ::her eyes shifdted between jade and silver in color:: Here an elemental can control them, wield them... but they are not to be toyed with they are still of nature in some ways... but ::the winds swirlled around her quickly...:: it all depends on your skills and your focus

:;Shea smiled,Juri posed no harm to the training, he was there ebacuse shea asked him to be there.::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-03 04:13 EST
::Skills and focus... He felt some relief that it was not completely different, but he was also excited for learning a new way of doing things. Assadar took his top red cloak off, and laid it on the ground a little ways away. He figured he would need to be freer. He was thus in a tight fitting red tunic, with a pair of looser pants to allow flexibility if needed. He had only a small dagger that he normally carried with him, and his staff as his weapons. He had left his Crystal of Calling at the Inn, so he did not have to worry about it. He had no idea what Shea had planned for them, so he wanted to be ready. Looking at Shea, he admired her, in a way a student admires the teacher who knows more than them does, for her concentration. She made controlling the elements seem... well, easy. His grey eyes shifted up to her, and as one would ask someone they admire for their great skill:: IF there are no further questions, what is it you would like me to do first in my training?

Perhaps even Juri was to learn something from this experiance as well, and of course he meant nothing of the elements, Juri's learning was meant for things a bit more deeper than that of magic....which he loathed anyways, but while he waited he closed his eyes, he thought about Storm the previous night and he began to grow hateful once again, but he stopped himself immediately, Jarlaxle was using his hate to gain control, and right now Juri had more hate than ever.

Soon...Juri knew it, perhaps even today, but a few times Juri even thought about giving himself up to Jarlaxle, since the only thing he came back for played him for a sucker and lied to him, he felt useless at this point, but that wasn't why he decided not to give up...something like that was too pathetic a reason...Juri knew that he could never let anyone....especially Jarlaxle...control his destiny. He would find a way.

He opened his eyes again after that little spell and took a deep breath, it was getting harder and harder every day, He forgot about it and watched Shea, watched the winds around her, and just maybe watched the only thing that could save him at this point.

::Shea nodded softly:: just one last question ::she rose to her feet and the wind died down:: Lle quena i'lambe tel' Eldalie? ::she posed the question to Assadar in elvish,she knew he was itching to get down to training...this would be Sheas last clue to figure out some things...:: First off... ::she would begin after he answered her question::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-04 04:11 EST
::Lle quena i'lambe tel' Eldalie?... It rang in his ear. He furrowed his brow a little. He new the dialect, but it was not one that he was fluent in. Hopefully he could pick up on it fast... He would try:: Amin sint elle en' i' lammen, nan' il iluve. Does that answer your question?

::Hopefully that answered her question. So much to learn in this new place. He was very rough when it came to the grammar of that form of Elvish, but he knew enough to get him by. He looked upon her with a puzzling look. Elvish... What was she getting at? All questions would probably be answered soon... He hoped...::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-04 18:12 EST
::Amin sint elle en' i' lammen, nan' il iluve:I know litte of the Language not Everything ::shea heard the words back to her in elvish and smiled:; uma ::she answered back:: yes it does answer my question

::she smiled to him softly, she was just making sure, for ehr own sake that he would understand her when the time came,if she indeed went as far as to teach him rather than just train him:: Now first off... sit ::she pointed to the ground she would wait till he did so:: now close your eyes and focus... ::once his eyes were closed she smiled towards Juri,knowing he must be having a fun time watching this.:: Feel the wind around you, sense the air... ::the wind rose with out a word uttered from her
mouth, shea had masterd her wind elemental, she had no need to call on it, with elven words it just came to her, weeks ago she would have uttered Yala onna en' vilya in elvish to summon the element to ehr, now it came and went with out a word,Shea ahd changed since ehr last encounter with her dark foe Reavyn, yet not a soul in Rhydin would know it now, the only one who knew was Connar, and ehr family way back on GreenStone...Shea focused,the training had now begun::

Once you are focused, and you can feel the winds, and see them with out opening your eyes, when you cans ense them within every inch of your self, then, I shall move on to the next step... :: slow and steady...from the beginning....::

OnlyinSilence

Date: 2007-03-05 00:40 EST
He smirked, but it turned into a genuine smile as he looked on at Shea, a quick wink in reply as watched her begin the most interesting part of the training, and seeing as how now it was going to be out of his league, he decided to lay down on his back, and take a nap.

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-05 00:54 EST
::Phew... Hopefully his limited understanding of this Elvish would help him yet. Picking up on her smile, he politely smiled back. Looking to her for her next move, he heard sit. He sat down slowly, and crossed his legs, now sitting with his legs crossed in front of him to help give him some balance. To her command, he closed his eyes. He began to breathe slowly, but steadily::

::The winds started to pick up, he new she was controlling them. He need to concentrate. He needed to feel the winds. They needed to almost fuse with him. He did not have time to waste thinking about Shea, or Storm, or home, or anything. He began to clear his mind... The wind... He needed to fuse with the wind in order to feel it. He needed to sense it. He kept his face at a stoic, non-readable form. He could feel the winds, but could he sense them?::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-05 01:54 EST
::Shea paced around him as she waited she had noted Juri was off to take a nap, good, for her too, now she could train and not hold back she and Juri still ahd that srap to do, and she wasnt about to let him see any of her best moves, then again she didnt trust Assadar, not enough yet to show him her most powerful side.. but maybe in time...maybe not.. it all depened on what shea felt. Shea watched him witha steady glance, and picked up the winds and settled them once more, up and down the winds went from high nearly full force to slow breezes, and some of them were cold like the day and some were warm like spring...yes Shea was good...::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-05 02:31 EST
::Assadar sat there for what seemed like hours. He refused to open his eyes. Thus, he lost almost all concept of time...::

::The winds were picking up and slowing down. He knew Shea was controlling them. Some were hot, some were cool. Some were powerful, still others were like soft whispers. He hoped that he could be close to her power someday... Concentrate. He started to clear his mind and grasp for the wind. He needed to almost fuse with it. He could feel it, but could he feel it. He needed to be "one" with the wind in a way. As he pushed things aside, Storm, home, the inn, Shea, even the feeling of the wind, his mind started to speak. It was Elvish though. It was saying something in his mind...::

It came as a whisper at first ...vilya...

As he cleared more and more, it became louder and louder...

...vilya...

...Vilya...

...Vilya...

::As it got louder, he could not help but say it. He began to whisper it... Almost chanting it. Very softly, almost not audible...::

Vilya... Vilya...Vilya... ::Over and over::

::Soon... He could not only feel the wind around him... It was no longer apart of his exterior... It was part of him... He could feel the wind, and its movements... He opened his eyes and looked to Shea. His eyes had suddenly become solid, having no pupils, or part to them other than a green glow. He hoped it did not alarm Shea, but on the other hand, he hoped it did. He had forgotten to tell her that when his particular breed of Elf used magic this happened to their eyes. It took time for him to focus his eyes, but she finally came into view. He looked up at her and squinted, hopefully looking for the next move.

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-05 02:43 EST
::Shea was hardly alarmed by his chanting or his eyes changing color or for that matter the glow she saw. She nodded to him softly her eye s ahd gone to silver pure silver, from their notmal jade color they were aglow with silver light, shea was hardly shocked by how different people, elves or otherwise were effected by magic... ::

::she knew he was ready she slowed the winds to a dead stop.:: good... you feel the wind as part of you, yes...? ::she didnt have to ask she all ready knew the answer., she slowly pulled a arrow from that quiver on her back and stuck it in tot he earth below him, the most simple thing to do with air was floating objects... and then she would move on to contorlling the actuall air:: note the arrow in the ground before you...::she gazed to it, and it started to shake and rose up out of the ground and in to the air it spun around once twice, thrice and dove back down to its resting spot:: now that you feel the air,you sense it... do that...what i just did.... ::he impressed her slightly,he picked things up quickly::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-05 17:52 EST
::He looked to Shea for the next move. The wind had stopped, most likely she had done so. He watched intently, yet peacefully, as she removed the arrow, placed it on the ground and levitated. She wanted him to levitate it. Turn it around three times as she had,, and then place it back. He concentrated. He was fused with the air around him... He envisioned it moving. He envisioned a hand of air picking up the arrow... It started to move. It lifted up to eye level. He envisioned the arrow spinning in circles. It spun... Once... Twice... Thrice... Then, just to show off a little, he shot the arrow back down with a small gust. It stuck in the ground, feathers out, head in the ground, about a foot away from Shea's feet. He smirked a bit, quite happy with himself and looked back to her for more. He removed the smirk after Shea saw it though, as to not get to cocky. hHe knew if he got cocky, he would fail. He concentrated again::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-05 23:37 EST
::Shea noted that smirk and smiled dimly reaching down to pluck the arrow from the ground her gloved hand was then paced to that 'wound int he dirt and it healed over with fresh green grass.... she could show off too:: Nicely done... ::she stuck the arrow back in to that quiver on her back:: Next lesson... you can float objects.. small ones.. what about me....? ::her feet lifted off the ground a bit witht he winds rising up around her for a moment.....then her boots hit the soil again:: can you do that? ::Shea was just testing him, an arrow was light, metal and woods shea was fully dressed and armed... a bit more weight to her than an arrow...::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-05 23:55 EST
::He noticed that Shea could heal the earth... Another lesson for another time maybe. He smiled inwardly at the compliment, but immediately faltered at the next request... Lift her? Was she crazy? He knew it was possible, but I mean this soon? He would definitely give it a try...::

::He concentrated again... He felt the air fused in him still... He looked at Shea... The winds started to pick-up... He could feel it... He looked to Shea... He envisioned again the air picking her up... This was considerably harder than the arrow. This was an elf, and by the looks of it, a well armored elf. Maybe she was testing him... His confidence boosted. Either he would fail, or he would pass. She either thought highly of him for assigning such a large assignment, or she was making fun of him... He concentrated even harder... He envisioned a larger hand of air picking up Shea... She started to lift up off the ground, but then it happened... His vision started to blur... He had to do it... No, he had to stop... No stopping now... He could feel the sweat coming off of his forehead... He would do it... He lifted... His breathing became heavier... Then he dropped her... She was not that high, it was not a big deal... He fell to one knee afterwards, and started to breathe heavily...::

::He stated very heavily in between breaths:: The...magic...it was so...draining...

::He looked up at Shea again waiting for a response, and maybe some advice... But his look was very determined. He would not fail her...::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-06 00:04 EST
::Shea nodded to him and walked towards him palcing a hand on his shoulder:; nice work, I didn't think you'd actually do it, you impress me... ::she patted his shoulder:: take a breather.... your doing well... ::magic used to drain ehr like that she remembered back,but she ahd gone beyond that point now:: it gets easier the more you do it, but take five...::shea offered hima soft smile.. he did impres sher but she still didnt trust hima s fara s she could toss him::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-06 01:15 EST
::The shoulder nearly knocked him to his feet. Take breather... He was determined... He didn't want to... He tried to move, but barely could. So, maybe Shea new best. Instead of moving to his feet, he made the motion to sit, and did so. He appreciated the compliment, and did a half smile to show it. He crossed his legs in front of him, closed his eyes, and started to go into a meditative trance. He would do so to help regain energy faster, but also to concentrate even more on the air. He began to breathe deeper. He could feel the air... It hit him... He began to breathe deeper and deeper... He would use the air to replenish him... Deeper... In his head, he heard it again... Vilya... Over and over again. It was refreshing to hear. He could feel the wind moving around him... No... Through him... The wind, the air, it was moving through him... Vilya...::

::After several minutes, he opened his eyes. Green and glowing... He was ready for more. He stood up slowly, a look of determination... He met Shea's gaze. As he did so, his voice was determined, and filled with respect, or that of someone seeking knowledge from a teacher:: I am ready...

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-06 01:29 EST
::Shea looked to him,nodding softly. She ahd sensed that he used the air to replenish himself, to gain back that lost magic, to gain back that inner most strength that any elemental needed for battle:: good... very good... ::she smiled to him:: you've floated objects now, and regained your strength using the wind.... the next lesson is to command them.....

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-06 01:39 EST
::To command them. Hmm... This should be interesting. To command the winds would give him power... He was already gaining power... Soon... No! He would not give into his peoples thirst for power. He would not let his thirst overtake him. He shut his eyes and concentrated... He reopened them::

::Determined to control himself and the winds, he said stoically:: To command the winds... I am ready to learn Shea. ::Quietly he added:: Thank you for teaching me.

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-06 01:43 EST
::Shea nodded to him softly:: Your welcome... ::she heard him, shea could hear a pin drop six miles away when she was focused and in training mode, if she tried hard enough she could hear thoughts, but she wouldnt go there....:: Just as before focus.... you feel the winds in you through you of you, the air is your ally, trust in it, and it will trust in you.. to wield it, one moments thought of anything else and the power will over take you....

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-06 02:02 EST
::He nodded slightly at the your welcome. She was good. He had much respect for her, even if he did not show it. He concentrated. He would not let the power overtake him again, not like before... The wind is my ally... He could feel the wind... He could feel it around him, penetrating him, the wind and him were one at this point. They were fused... To command the winds... The wind must be his ally... He must not make it his ally... He must allow it to be... To fight was to let the power overtake him. He let the wind in. It was peaceful, and exilerating all at the same time. He began to flex the winds. Up and down. Swelling, then peace. The wind was with him, and he with the wind. He could even... No... Yes! He could even use the wind to probe the area around him... He could get greater details... He used the wind... He felt Shea... He stretched his reach further... His clothes, the houses, the further he stretched, the harder it was to control... He began to try and contain it... It was to late. The winds were picking up... Very fast...::

::Frantically and forcefully:: Shea... Shea... Stop me... Please... ::It was painful. he had tried to stretch his power to much. Like a flexible twig finally snapping, all the power seemed to be rushing to him...::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-06 02:15 EST
::Sheas eyes glowed white, and she rose in to those whipping winds and in a moments time they stopped, she had uttered Lova poldora as she floated down behind him and pressed her hands to his shoulders.It was a weaken spell in elvish not to tthe winds she could stop them but to calm him more. He had started out fine, but in the end it took him over...:: Easy there Assadar..., her gloved hands rested firmly upon his shoulders. Shea knew what it was like to get swept away by the power, to let the wind over take you for a moment, it happened to all new elementals at some point, he would feel the soft touch of magic invade his body... as shea whispered something in elvish...:: relax its okay....

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-06 02:29 EST
::The words... Calming... He felt her hands on his shoulders... He began to come down... He was nervous... The exilerating feeling had taken over... He had to maintain the peace. He began to breathe deeply again. The wind died down. It was a mere breeze now. He looked down at the gorund. He turned and met Shea's gaze. That was two he owed her. One for the training, two for saving him from himself. Who knows what would have happened had he not been more careful.::

:;rather shamefully, he added:: I am sorry. Thank you. I do not know what would have happened had I lost control completely...

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-06 02:38 EST
::Shea patted his shoudlers:: its okay, thats what I am here for.... its easy to lose control we all can have it happen.... even me. Don't feel to bad you were doing alright, but never try to do to much all at once... that is the best lesson I can ever teach, with time the power will grow... and you'll be able to stop it when you wish....

::the winds would rise up again at her will then fall again to that breeze:: If you would have lost control compeletely I'd have to kill you... ::shea was serious,s he had lost control once long ago it took alot to get her down....the gods them selves:: but thankfully I can stop you, I have learned a few tricks over my many years :;a soft smile to him::

Juri leaned up from his position on the roof, his smirk was quite evident as he held back a laugh....how was a guy suppose to sleep in these conditions: Hot, cold, slow, fast, very fast, slow.....He was going insane. Finally after watching for but a moment he rolled his eyes and layed back down, arms moving behind his head and he drifted back off.

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-06 18:12 EST
::Looking to her with great concern:: Thank you Shea. I owe you a great deal.

::If he lost control, he hoped Shea would kill him. It was not worth another massacre for him to give into his thirst for magic. His face furrowed in concern... Should he tell her? Should he let her know why he could not be allowed to lose control? He had fought for a hundred years to gain independence from his thirst for power, and with a single stroke, it had all flooded back... He would not allow it to happen again. Even if it took another hundred years of training::

:;He returned the smile:: Shea... ::He hestiated, but only for a moment:: We should continue. There is much to do. Four elements to learn, and we have only begun. It is starting to get late however. I do you and Juri have something you need to be getting to? Maybe we should call it a day, and resume training another time. I will continue to work on the things you have already taught me, if you promise to resume my taining sooner than later... Deal?

::He didn't know what her and Juri were up to, but hopefully she would take the deal. He needed to rest after that ordeal. He needed to grow in strength. He wondered when he would resume training.::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-06 23:01 EST
:;Shea nodded the hour was getting late:: I agree, yes another, time but keep practicing what you've learend so far and we'll pick up with a new element next time....we have a deal

::She and Juri did have business to attend to didn't they? Shea smiled to Assadar:: be well till then... :;the winds would lift her from her feet to sit her down on that roof top before Juri.Back to Buisness, all business::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-06 23:04 EST
::He looked to her and smiled:: All be well with you too.

::He watched her as she lifted herself up. Impressive. He reached down, and picked up his cloak. He put it on. He turned from his spot, and headed toward the Inn. He could follow them and figure out what was going on, but he thought it better to leave them be.::

Juri stretched a little bit before leaning up and smirking at her, then he finally rose to his feet, like a puppet being raised by his strings, and stretched a little more before letting his hands slide down into his pockets, and right to business he went, "Their base is an abandoned building in West End no less, but they are seeking cover in the basement, the main floor is occupied by thugs to cover their tracks. I left the two bodies on the roof, since the count will change soon."

He looked out in the direction of where the building was, more or less staring at the dagger that he left on the building, "I wanna spar with you first....to see if your ready to fight a Drow." He surely wasn't insulting her, but Drow elves fought dirty, and used every trick in the book....plus had the skill to back it up, he had to know if she could handle a fight with no rules.

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-07 23:02 EST
:;Shea listened to him,west end made since,the smell of deathw as normal there,no one would note scum or anything else out of the ordianary there:: Spar....::shea smirked:: Juri, I assure you I am quite able to face any foe, but if it is a spar you want then a spar you shall get... ::She'd had her share of fighting with most every type,deamons,vampires,drows,elves of all kinds,men... women.She wasnt about to back down:: No rules right?

::Shea wasnt about to hold back on him just ebcause they were friends::

Assadar

::A new day had arrived. He had been meditating and practicing his skills for almost a week now. Already he was growing stronger, and he could feel it. He needed more training, so he decided to go and look for Shea. He through on his red robes, grabbed his dagger, and his staff. He walked out and closed the door. He had left the Rune of Calling in his bed again. He wouldn't be needing it::

::We walked down the stairs, and as he did so, he threw his cloak's hood on, and headed out of the inn. He did not want to talk to anyone right now, not to be rude, he was just in a hurry. He went north, heading toward the inn that they had met at last time. He did not know if she would be there, but he hoped so. He headed that way, not really knowing what was going to happen next. As he walked, he practiced reaching out, and feeling the wind. Already, he could do so with less and less concentration. The more he practiced, the easier it became. He was up to close to 12 hours a day of straight practice. He needed it. At the word from his commanders, he might have to leave, and he needed to be ready. No Shea yet, but maybe soon...::

::From the coast on horse back Shea came back from one very long night. She saw Assadar and smiled the training was about to continue. She rode her amre in tot he stables and dismounted. Her jade hues looked to him as she lowered her hood,it looked like Shea had been busy indded, a bloody lip and bruises here and there on her fair face:: Give me a sec,I just need to change. ::She would say as she walked inside that no name inn where she was staying too.::

:;After few moments she would come back out,clothes changed from ripped and torn to clean and looking new. Hair pulled back again and all weapons present as they had been the last time they trained.No cloak she'd left that over her bed inside. And now if he looked to her he would see none of those wounds that had been on her face,not even a single bruise. :: All right, Sorry I was late. Where would you like to begin today?

::It was time for a new element,wind he had practiced and she could tell he was getting better at it everyday he practiced.It had been a week,and although Shea could teach him much more about wind alone. She knew that he wnated to know about each element:: Pick an Element

::He had watched her ride up on horseback. She had pulled into a stable and come out. She looked like she had just been assaulted, or assaulted someone who put up a fight. She had to go and change. He nodded to her and smiled as she went up to change. He sat there waiting. He knew that there was more to air for him to learn, but he needed to learn the other elements as well. He decided that he would learn all of the elements before he would go ahead and train further on any of them::

::He watched as she walked down. She apologized for being late. He smiled a little:: Looks like we're even. ::Him Shea had not started off on the best foot, and Shea did not often leave herself open like that, so when he could make little jabs, he enjoyed doing it::

::Any element huh? Fire was still probably to early. Water would be next:: Water Shea. Teach me of the element of water. ::A slight nod and smile, this should be fun::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-09 14:47 EST
::She nodded:: Yes we are even. ::Shea smirked softly, he was having fun witht hat wasn't he. Shea could admit she was late when she was.:: Alu..:;She nodded:: Water it is then, Sit...::she pointed to the ground yes, this training would begin just like the last, he could expect every training to start oyt this way:: and tell me what you know of the water element ::Yep back to square one again::

Assadar

::If it was not for the fact that he respected Shea as a trainer, he might have laughed, and asked her why he had to sit. He knew she was serious, and knew her stuff though, so he did. He sat, and crossed his legs. Looking up at her with respect::

Alu... Water... Another giver of life. Water is encapsulated in all of us. It brings life, and where I come from is literally the drink of the Moon Goddess. It is controlled by the flow of nature. Wind can be controlled, and used to feel around us. Where I come from, to use water, one must flow like water. It naturally is liquid, and one must be like liquid... Free, peaceful, and yet when you are able to, it can be the crushing weight that can kill.

::The next part he was unsure of but...:: If I am not mistaken, we can also change the temperature, and thus the way water flows. In other words, we can train harder and longer, and eventually be able to control even ice, for it has the same properties of water... But that I am unsure of.

::He looked to her for her response. Hopefully he had answered wisely::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-09 15:52 EST
::Shea nodded softly:: I have to say you know your stuff. Yes your right water is contorled by the flow of nature. And its much the same ehre you must be like it,like water.Flowing peaceful. And yes in time you can have it be more focreful, to kill. Yes the temperature of water can be changed, and eys in time ice can be controled

:: Shea throught of Wyh a moment, the most powerful ice elemental shea knew in these lands of Rhydin:: So now, again close your eyes, feel the water in you, in the air under you in the soil... let it flow in you,through you,become one with you as you did the wind...once you've done that and can feel it,sense it see it. Then we shall continue.

::He closed his eyes. He needed to reach out as he had with air. He began to feel... Unlike air, where he needed to close his mind off to other things and let the air flow through him, here he needed to be peaceful. He thought of peaceful times. He thought of the grassy meadows of Quel'Thalas, and the children running and playing. He thought of friends and family. No... That wasn't working...::

::It had to have been quite a few hours. He had trained with water before, but not like this. This was about the flow of nature... The flow of peace in oneself. Had he had his eyes closed for that long? He concentrated. Flow...Nature...He began to breathe deep. H needed to flow... Like water... He began to feel. This was a little bit trickier. He became peaceful... It hit him... Peace... Peace within... It did not need to stay, but with water, he could achieve peace. He did not need to have it, he could achieve it. It flowed through us all. Peace... Like water... He could feel it in him. He could feel the moistness of the air... It was a cloudy day... The moistness in the clouds... Beneath him... The water... Peace... Drink of the Goddess...::

::He stood. Eyes still closed. He began to sway... He began to look around... With his eyes closed. Shea must think he was crazy... Oh well... He could feel it... Water... Flowing through him, around him, beneath him... He opened his eyes, and looked at Shea... They glowed green::

::Calmly he said::Shea... I can feel it...

::Shea was pacing around him this whole time watching him with thsoe now keen silver hues. She too was tapping in to that water elemntal, though it was not yet mastered,it was in her blood as much as the wind was.:; good... now we shall start off simple...

:;Shea slowly knelt to the ground and palced her ungloved hand there,and closed her eyes:: Yala onna en' alu ::she would chant softly in elvish under her bretah,unlike her wind elment that she had mastred she would still have to on occasion call upon the other elements,unless she was in battle and fully pulsing with magic but this wasnt battle this was training. As she lifted her hand up a small puddle of fresh water would be seen there.:: pull the water through the soil, and through the air down tot he soil... to make a puddle

Assadar

::His green glowing eyes looked to her. He removed his top cloak and threw it to the side. He was now in his training outfit from before. He watched intently as she pulled the water out, and formed a puddle. Now it was his turn. He knelt. He placed his hand on the soil... He could feel the water beneath him. Peace...Tranquility... Water was a blessing from the Goddess of the Moon. He could feel the water. He pictured it in his mind. He pictured it rising out of the ground. He could feel it coming closer. He said softly::Yala onna en' alu::Just to give him a little extra boost. He knew Shea would hear him, but he didn't care::

::The water rose. HE pictured it spinning in a wheel form. It began to do so. he laughed a little. He then with one hand concentrating on the water, dug a minor hole with the other, and placed the water in the hole to make a puddle. He looked up at Shea after and smiled:: That do it for yah? ::He had to be a little cocky, if not just to see Shea smile::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-10 02:50 EST
:;Shea looked to him, and nodded. But she didnt smile. He did all right yes. But shea caught that cockyness. Sure she too was quilty of getting cocky every now and again but when she did someone or her self got hurt:: not bad... :;her eyes shifted to him flaring silver:; don't get cocky...:;said to him with the tip of her dagger at his cheek, oh yes shea was a quick draw..:: you get cocky you get hurt, or someone else gets hurt...:;dagger sheathed as quickly as it was drawn:: now moving on :; right back to the lesson at hand,hoping she proved her point::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-10 03:46 EST
::He knew he had screwed up. She was right. He knew all to well... Neither here nor there right now. Peace...:: I am sorry Shea. I know from experience that cockiness gets your friends killed...::He trailed off... He concentrated. That was 100 years ago. It was the past. No use dwelling on it now. He pushed it away and went back to his peacefulness. He looked at Shea just as determined as before:: I am sorry. What is next?

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-10 22:58 EST
::Shea nodded to him:: Remeber in the end it is you who alone has the power to heal or destory with what you learm,no matter if it is from me or Storm.Or anyone else. You get cocky you get hurt,people you care for get hurt.

::Shea knew that all to well:: Moving on...::she looked to the puddles they had made, and focused on them.:: Water is the life blood of most realms,it tends to the earth below your feet and to you as well ::Little droplets started to rise in to the air:: The next step is controlling it.Its flow and how it moves over soil,then to air and so on after wards..


::She slowly drew her sword and cut in tot he soil,the water started to encircle Assadar liek a moat around a castle or keep. And with barely an uttered word that small little moat grew outward like a flowing stream. Sheas silver hues shown brightly before the water came to a stand still:: water flows over rocks and down through streams, make this water flow around you...softly at frist then focus more to make it run faster...like a raging stream...:: too much to fast, shea didn't think so::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-11 01:13 EST
::He looked at the moat Shea had made around him... Interesting... So, he was to move it around. Slowly. Then faster::

::His green eyes focused on Shea first. He felt the tranquility and peace come to him again. He focused on the water. He focused on all of it. So many different droplets... Yet they flowed as one... Almost like people. So many individuals, flowing sometimes as one. Yet they could all burst and destroy. He focused. He envisioned the water moving. He saw it moving like a stream... Slowly, but surely, the little stream began to move. It was so peaceful. It felt as though he and the water were connected in harmony. He could almost control the water, as though it were himself. He no longer pictured the water moving, but rather felt it moving. He felt it moving faster, but well within his control. He kept it moving... Faster...Faster... Soon it seemed to be a river::

::He began to do something else. He began to lift the raging moat around him. Soon, he became encapsuled in the moat. It was swirling around him like a cyclone of water. Yet he remained in control. The water and he were one. It was time to stop. He began to feel the water slow down. He let it then drop in to the moat With green eyes glowing like fire, he looked up to Shea:: Shea, I felt as though the water and I were one. It went beyond controlling the water, and picturing it moving... I could feel the water move... It was amazing...

::Shea had watched his perfromace and nodded to him. She smiled as well:: Very nice. :;a soft pat to his shoulder,encoragaing:: you stayed in control too. Thats very good. Now on ward to the next task. :;shea pondered a moment, which to do next, she would save one thing till later till after he had learned some of the basics:: Now moving on to water as Ice.. ::it wasnt exactly the raod of ease, but a road no less::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-11 01:25 EST
::The pat and smile came with humility. To have a trainer say something so good so soon... He looked at her with a thankful face. He would not fail her::

::Water as ice... Hmm... He did not expect that so soon, but it was bound to happen eventually. He could still feel the water as though it were a part of him. Behind the fiery green eyes, he looked at Shea with determination, and said with equal determination:: What must I do?

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-11 01:45 EST
::Shea looked to the water and knelt down to it, her gloves were off so that new ring on her left hand could be seen, it handt been there the last times. Shea had ehr own secrets to hide from some...::

:;She placed her fingers upon the water and focused her mind:: ring wing :;the old spell was muttered through her lips, and under her bare fingers the water started to ice over:: the most powerful ice elemental I ahve ever met is Miss Wyh Black. She controls it as I do my wind. Witha grace and ease I have hardly seen...

:;Shea still was focused:; to make water in to ice think of cold,winters days,much like it has been here in rhydin, think of the water icing over, with a thought with a touch...ice is graceful,ice is cold yet it has this inner wamrth to it...to contorl waters temp, you must be focused fully not just on the flow of the water ebfore you but of everything around you one miss shift, and you turn me to ice..

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-11 01:58 EST
::His green eyes fell on the ring... It had not been there the last time they met... Another time. He had to concentrate. It was not enough this time to feel the water... He had to be fully focused. He pushed all aside. His thoughts of Storm, home, training... All aside. He focused on the peace. He began to think of the cold. There was peace in coldness as well. He pictured snow... Iced over water... Snowflakes falling. He pictured it. He began to feel. It seemed as though things around him were getting colder as well... Was that possible?::

::He bent down and stretched out his hand toward the newly brought up water... He could picture the water icing over... Was that enough though? His hand stretched out. He touched the water... It began to ice over. Amazing... Then it happened. He realized his hand was actually in the water. He looked down just in time to see the ice run over his hand. It was freezing... He could feel pain in it. It was going beyond freezing around his hand... It was literally freezing his hand over... He looked to Shea with his fiery green eyes:: Shea... It's so cold... My hand... It is freezong over my hand... Please... Help...

::She was to his side ina moments time looking tot he water and his slowly freezing over hand, her hands hit the frozen over water then one moved on top of his hand:; relax...:; she closed her eyes a moment and focused.::Yala onna en' naur :

;the iced over water and his frozen over hand began to melt, the ice wamred and turned to water, the pain he must have felt in his hand would slowly fade, as that rush of fire like warmth rushed over it, not to hot to burn but warm enough to melt the ice and bring back the color to his hand., the air around them got warmer too,as she opend her eyes and looked to him, those eyes were still silver but there were flecks of that jade color here and there::

you'll be all right...ice is harder to control than water... :; she slowly lifted her hands up from that one of his that had been slowly freezing over, now back to normal::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-11 16:41 EST
::He watched as Shea broke the ice, and took his hand in hers. She said something in elvish, and then his hand began to thaw. There was immediate release from the pain that he had felt before, but it would take a while before the warmth fully came back, and the pain to fully go away::

::He sighed with relief, but also out of shame. She said that it was harder to control, so he did not feel as bad. He looked up at her. His fiery green eyes had started to fade. Now they were a mix of silver with a green glow:: Thank you Shea. It would seem I owe you again. ::More determined:: I would like tor rest a minute, and then try again.

::He sat down, crossed his legs, and went into a meditative state. He started to feel the air around him, and the water in him. He was totally at peace again within seconds. He was replenishing his energy with air, while completely becoming peaceful and in control with the water. After several minutes, he opened his eyes. Now fully green and fiery again, he stood and looked at Shea:: Shall we?

Date: 2007-03-12 00:06 EST
::Shea nodded to hoim as he wanted to rest a moment: Shea needed a moment as well, a breath or two.Then her eyes opened and looked to him again:: Yes your ready to try again

:: she ahd felt it long before she had oepned ehr eyes, but he mind was not on training, but oddly enough, that even so. Shea was focused,on the task.:: All right,see if you can give that a try again,this tiime just grace the surface of the water with your finger tips..do not let your hand slip in to the water like this..

:: Sheas bare finger tips tocuhed the top of the water again,as she came in to focus,the water under her fingers turned to ice ,freezing over slightly. As she lifted her fingers up she would show him that only the slightest touch of forst touched her skin there on her finger tips:Shea was hardly a master of that element,she had training to do every day for those three elements she was still to master: water,earth and fire.She was getting close with wtare and earth, but fire would take much time for her a wind mage to master:: See if you can do that...

:;He might note that only a slight bit of that water in front of him ahd she frozen over not that whole little moat,little bits ata time, thats how she was tuaght so thats how she would teach::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-12 01:06 EST
::He looked to her with admiration. She was good. He watched as she graced only the surface of the water. He also noted that she did not do the whole moat, but rather a little bit. He would do the same::

::He reached down and graced the top. This time he concentrated again on the water freezing over. He could feel the coldness around him. He looked at the water, and watched as it froze over. Only a little bit. When a little less than half the mote had frozen over, he stood again. He looked at his own fingers. The slightest bit of frost. He still had a lot of practice to do, but for now it worked. He was also going to train himself on using the two or more elements at the same time, but that was for personal practice::

::He looked at Shea, his green eyes glowing fiery than ever. He had a certain certainty in his voice:: That good? This time I did not cause as much trouble. Thank you Shea. I owe you a lot. Anything next? Or shall I go and practice what I have already learned?

::Shea smiled to him softly:: You are doing very well, all things that have gone wrong aside. That happens to the best of us, even master trainers...:: shea didnt call her self a master of anything, not even her wind element, well she wouldnt say it out load to anyone:: go and pratice what I've taught you all ready feel free to mix the two elements up, wind and water togtehr for weather spells and such, for that will be what comes later,if indeed we get that far. I'll see you ina bout a weeks time? ::Another smile to him:

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-12 01:32 EST
::So, he could mix them. Excellent:: Thank you Shea, see you in about a week.

::He returned the smile to Shea, picked up his cloak and headed down toward the inn. It had been a wonderful training session... As Shea had said, all wrong things aside. He was coming along quite nicely. He only hoped he would have time to finish the training before returning home. Shea was a wonderful trainer, and he was grateful to the Goddess of the Moon for that. If all went well, she would also bless him when it came time to restore honor to his people, but that time would come::

:;Yes yes he was doing quite well, as he faded in to the distace shea walked back in to that inn behind her and back in to her room. Closing her eyes, there were two elements left earth which shea had no issues with and fire, which she had tons of issues with she would have to call on some outside help::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-18 01:20 EST
::It had come time for another day of training. HE awoke, and put on his cloak over his training clothes. He figured Shea would meet him by the no named inn. He headed down stairs, his hood over his eyes. He did not want to be noticed, as he headed out the door::

::He headed up the street toward the inn. He was not sure if Shea would be there, but he knew she would get there eventually. His training with her had been going very well. He was eager to learn, and she was ready to teach. She was a fine teacher. He reached the inn, and had a seat in the shade of a nearby tree. He would wait as long as it took for her to arrive::

:: The wind shifted and howled out of the South, that tree he sat under shifted as the soil under it did the same. Then descending from the sky came sahe, green cloak flying back in to the winds. She saw him there under that tree and smiled softly she held up twoo fingers which meant give me about two mintues and walke din tot he inn changed quickly and came back out dark locks pulled back, cloak gone, in her training wears,weapons sheaded at her side. Any one with half an ouch of magic in them would not how much more of it seemed to be around Shea's form, she too had been training,and training hard at that:: Ready for another day, two elements left pick your pleasure :: a smile to him as she stood across from him::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-18 03:46 EST
::He felt the winds shift, and knew she was coming. He noticed the sign for two, and stood. He took off his outer cloak revealing his red training tunic. As she approached, he smiled a little. He heard her words, and responded differently than she probably was expecting::

Shea, before I choose the next element, I must ask you... Do you trust me?

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-18 18:45 EST
::Jade hues gazed to him, thatw as not what she had expected but ever being awoman good on her feet she just smiled:: Trust must be earned,but I don't consiter you an enemy to me,and I trus tyou enough to train you. ::Shea still wasnt sure about him, everyone ahd secrets, and as of late those secrets were coming back to bite Shea sqyare in the arse. Did she trust him, not fully, but enough to train him, and enough to say:: I also know that if I were in need that you would help me as I would help you, does that asnwer your question?

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-19 00:52 EST
::He pondered the answer for only a second. He heard what he needed to:: Yes, that will do. Thank you. For my next elemental, I choose earth ::He was able to avoid fire again. IT would come soon, but for now, earth::

::He smiled to her:: I suppose you want me to tell you what I know of earth? Well, earth is strength. It can bring strength, as well as add to ones own strength already. It is not necessarily about physical strength, for one can use earth to gain physical strength. It is about strength of will, and whether or not one has the will to use earth is a different matter. I unfortunately do not know as much about earth as I do the others. I am sorry, however, I am here to learn, and learn I shall. ::He looked to her determined to learn. His will was there. He had the strength of will it would take, although this may be the toughest of all the elements for him to learn, he was not going to let that get him down::

:;Shea nodded:: very good,sit ::a pointed gloved hand to the ground, yes this is how she would begin again.:: we shall start with a focused mind aye? ::a smile dim but there:: Focus on the soil under you as you sit there,since its deep vibrations the root systems,the water under flowing throughn it,everything is connected to that earth under your feet,strong it is,but with good focus anything is possible,once you can sense the soil under you feel it as you have felt the water and the air, then I shall continue.

::He removed his cloak first. He was in his usual training tunic and pants. He laid the cloak beside him, and then sat. He closed his eyes. It was not a force of strength, but a strength of will. He closed his eyes. He began to think of his comrades back home. OF the people he was going to liberate. Of his friends that were there waiting for him... Or rather he was waiting for the signal from them. He remember the patience he was going to have to have in order to endure the time here in Rhydin. Strength of Will::

::Time passed by. It did not seem as long as before, but he was not sure. Just because something seemed shorter does not mean it actually is. He was reaching. reaching beneath him. He had already reached the peace to use water, and could feel the air around him. He was searching... But not the place around him... He was searching himself. He needed to be sure that he was willing to do this. He pictured his homeland, and the helpless people he was here to save. The it hit him. He was... He was there to be the strength that others did not have. Then it happened. He felt it surge through him. The strength of earth. He reached out, and could feel the earth around him. He could feel the water in the ground. HE could feel the roots of the tree he was under. He could trace the holes the roots left in the ground. HE could even feel the light footsteps of Shea. He could feel it all. If he were blind, it would not matter because he could make out everything using the ground and the air::

::He stood, and opened his now fiery green eyes. The sun had passed. It was not dark, but it was mid-afternoon, if not evening. He looked to Shea, and smiled:: You are light on your feet. Sorry to keep you waiting... Shall we?

::Shea smiled to him,the day light had passed some and she nodded:: aye if your ready now,the first thing one must learn of earth elemental is to remember two things: you can either grow a garden,or take downa city with a quake of the earth ::she knelt and placed her gloved hand to the soil,no real time passed Shea was all ready focused she'd been focusing as he was,feeling the roots under her feet:: Yala onna en' kemen. :;she would summon the soil to her, the earth elemental to flow through her veins,now after all her own training at home she hardly had to summon it with the elven words but she did so any way. Cocky? Shea never, but she had to have some fun at this, but she wasnt about to show off just yet::

::The soil shifted under her finger tips as small little spouts of flower bud started to edge their way through the soil to bloom fully in the mid-day sun.:: To an earth bound elemental.. growth is an art,like sword play is to a warrior. You can grow trees, and full woodlands if your well practiced... but see if you can do what i just did, start with small flowers work your way to more complex ones, then onward we shall go... :;A powerful Earth elemental could crush whole citys with out blinking twice::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-19 01:36 EST
:;He watched as Shea grew the sprouts. How interesting. Strength to take out a city, and strength to grow things. Strength in creation and destruction. How different from what he was used to. He had his instructions. He was to grow something::

::He knelt down to the ground next to where Shea had grown the little sprouts. This was much different than before. Here he was not going to picture it so much as will it to happen. Earth was not for the weak of heart or will. He put his fingers on the soil. Just the tips. He did not want another ice fiasco. He had to be sure of himself. Confident that he could do this, but not cocky. He began to will flowers to bud. It was more than just picturing it. It was almost as though he were in charge, and it was going to happen::

::He could feel the earth. He could feel the surge happening in it. He knew trees were out of the question right now, but flowers were not. He willed them up. As he did, slowly but surely, a flower began to bud. The sprout came out. Then it began to whither... Assadar chuckled a little, and looked up to Shea:: Not quite what I was expecting...

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-19 01:57 EST
::Shea smiled softly,and looked tot he poor withered flower:: when brining them up do not forget what all things of the earth need to grow, sun light,water,air... everything is connected,focus on it,not just on the mere force of will it might take to make them grow, you must not only see them grow,and feel them grow but want them too...

:;She placed her hand to the soil:: if your will for them to grow is too strong they will grow and wilt ::she showed a example, two more budding flowers one grew and wilted one grew and bloomed fully, a complex white rose:: Simple flowers or grand full bloom roses. To trees and vines and so forth, for one to be able to start, you must start with growth,for any Earth mage worth their weight in blood or salt... can grow a simple flower,with out the growth you can not hope to have the focus to do other things... with the power

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-19 02:10 EST
::He watched and listened to Shea intently as she gave him his lesson. Not to focused. He had to release some of his will to the wind and water. He had to use all he had learned thus far. He knelt down and placed his fingers on the soil again. He focused his will into the earth... Then he found peace in the water... Then as they began to bud, he brought some air to it. He let it grow a little. Then he moved out of the way of the sun, and let it shine on the little sprout. It began to grow more. It began to bud, and out came a small flower. He stopped::

::He looked at the creation he had made. How nice. He was proud of himself for the life he had created out of the soil. He did not get cocky however, he was just infused with new will at the thought of creation. He let it settle. Soon he would have to destroy, but for now he was happy with creation. The Goddess would be proud. He smiled to Shea. The will to do something was always the first step, but there was so much more. Too much will, and you could destroy. Not enough and nothing happens. Just right, and life sprouts. Thank the Goddess:: So... Is that what you were looking for?

:;Shea nodded:; aye very nicely done...::she looked to the flower, and then to him:: Moving on then...

::Jade hues shimmerd to silver,as she walked circles around him,he could grow small flowers,what was she to have him do next: Growing a tree was not out of the question yet. But Shea did want to show off a bit:: Now from time to time, a well balanced made has to heal the soil,from wounds as if it were flesh,for we all must live hre, so we must in part take care of the soil, the earth. ::She knelt slwoly to the ground and muttered a soft incantaion under her breath, fire rose in to ehr fingers and spread across the soft new grass, that surroudned Assadar and like with the moat she'd made for water, it was now a circle of charred soil, burnt grass and darkened soil,that dug just slightly in tot he ground making a waterless dark moat so-to-speak. No shea would not do this otherwise,it was not in her nature to ahrm the soil,but training made making some chocies, hard ones at that::

::She rose slowly the flames flickered from her gloved hand then, that glove seemed untouched...:; Now as with growing healing the wounds of the soil takes just enough will to heal them,the hardet things to heal like with skin are deep cuts and dark charred burns... place your hand on the soil, tell em if you can feel the pain the soil feels :;no shea wasnt crazy the earth was a living as they were, it had its own pains,though different:; heal its pain,take those charred marks I gave it away....usuing the soil itself to heal the marks over...::If there was ever any doubt in his mind about Shea's will over fire, she hoped now that would all be settled she had not been training so hard for days for nothing::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-19 19:40 EST
::Interesting that she was starting him off with healing, and creation using earth. This was very uplifting, and he knew it would come in handy later. He might have to stay in Quel'Thalas longer if he had to regrow any forests and what not. That would come later. He saw what Shea had done... Fire... It would come in time. Right now he was to heal. He knelt down and looked to the grass::

::He placed his fingers on the ground lightly as he had when he went to grow the flower... He let out a shutter and a slight grunt. He looked up to Shea a little distraught in his eyes:: Shea... I can feel... The pain... ::He did not wait for a reply. He could not bear the pain the earth was in. HE began to work immediately. He began to will the earth to heal. He brought the water from deep in the soil up. He used the air around him. He could feel the earth healing. He did not want to will to much. He did not want to kill it anymore. He watched as the grass began to regrow slowly. He was taking it slow. He could feel the pain begin to lessen as the grass grew, and the earth healed. After about ten minutes, he let out a sigh. The earth had been healed, and he could feel it. He stood up and looked to Shea, relieved:: Shea, that was awful. I this a burden that comes with being an earth elementalist?

:Shea watched him,she had felt the pain the moment she had done it,no it didnt sit well with her,but you make sacrifices. Shea did not relish in hurting the soil, the earth:; Yes,it is a burdern we all carry from Earth to fire mage,the pain is real when one chooses to use the power to destory.But with power comes great resposablity. A power earth mage can shake the earth udner a wqhole city,or use it to grow vines and trees, but also a powerful mage of any type can use the elements to fight,for the good. You have healed its pain,sometimes it takes great destruction to have a great rebirth. ::She patted his shoulder softly:; you did well, you saw past ityou felt its pain and healed it...I am impressed..

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-20 00:32 EST
::He looked to her as she patted his shoulder:: It wasn't easy. I hate others in pain, but the earth itself. I will carry this burden with great responsibility. Thank you for entrusting it to me.

::He looked down at the newly made grass. This was not an easy burden. However, he did discover that he could feel even the light footed Shea with his new found power in the earth. He looked to her and smiled warmly, while adding with determination:: I am ready to continue Shea.

:;Shea nodded:: your welcome... ::softly to hat as her silver hues shifted back to jade again:: Now I can go two ways from here and I will let you choose, I can teach you abit of combat with this elemental

:; no she had not offered so with the others, but she always could:: Or I could simply leave it at this, as one who does not like to cause harm to anyone ,less they deserve it... I will not cause unneeded pain to the soil....I can also continue a bit of your training from here on out if you like, proceeding to a bit of the combat style,once of coarse fire elemental is stuided... ::shea smiled,creation was greater than destruction,to heal and create,were any mages gifts, but to fight with those elements was also a gift::

I will let you choose, I can teach you some combat moves with Earth elemental, or we can stop here wait a while then when you return finish off with fire, then proceed to combat training... :: Shea was hardly done teaching him:: and perhaps by the end, you may earn my full trust...:: if he did she had a proposition for him::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-20 18:05 EST
::He looked to Shea with a hint of a smirk. Although from different backgrounds, the elf in both of them could be seen here. Care for others. Care for the earth. If he had nothing else in common with other races of elf, he at least knew that he would have that in common. He looked at her with a light face:: No Shea, I think that I have taken enough time from the day. I will go and practice my healing abilities. You will teach me enough about destruction at a later time. For now, I will take my leave.

::He paused for a short moment then continued:: If you are going to teach me combat training later, then lets take a leave for now. I hope that maybe someday I can gain your full trust, but for now I will take what I am given. Thank you for all you have taught me thus far. ::He bowed slightly to her, reached down and picked up his cloak, and put it on. He then waited for Shea to reply, not wanting to be rude::

::Shea nodded to him:: all right, see you in about... ::she paused:; it may have to be less than a week though,think you can handle that? ::she was going home come the 25th day of this month and would be gone for a while,not to says he couldnt just pop back when she wanted,but things were more pessing at home,she patted his shoulder:: you go train,give it about three days,four maybe,come back will start fire training then,when I return from home, we will pick up combat training... :;a dim smile then::

it will be fast paced less time to train on your own,Bu I assume you'll be okay with that ::she bowed to him:: train hard...and your welcome ::and was gone in a flicker of wind::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-21 00:25 EST
::Three to four days... He would make it three. He needed to train hard between now and then. IT was something he was used to. As he watched her disappear, he turned and headed back to the inn. The wind blew in his face a little. A new time was dawning for Assadar. He knew his training would have to come harder and faster. As Shea spoke of home, he had a bad feeling that he would be called to his own soon. He thought of home, and the reason that he was in RhyDin... He would defeat the Elders and bring peace to his homeland. He walked away as the sun went down... Back to the sun, his shadow grew long. Oh yes, a new day was dawning, and he had some new allies... He began to think of whether he would return or not after his victory... That would be a decision made later, and dependent on circumstances. He smiled a bit. He seemed to be taking a liking to this city::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-23 13:39 EST
::She had said three or four days. HE decided to make it three. He left the inn and headed for the no named inn to meet Shea. He was in his traditional cloak, with his training gear underneath it. He reached the inn after a little walk, and headed for the tree. He took off his cloak and laid it next to the tree. He sat down and began to meditate, getting ready for the training ahead of him. Today was fire. Today was the day that he had feared most. Power, destruction, everything his people longed for... All that is, but him. HE sat and meditated, waiting for Shea to show...::

- Victor would come to a stop behind Shea, dressed in the usual outfit, all black..with his arms crossed over his chest. He too had his weapons present, even though it was his day off as well, but he was spending it with Shea..and wanted to see her in action. -

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-24 02:08 EST
::He opened his eyes, and was taken by surprise by the two forms standing before him. He rose and greeted Shea with a smile:: Good morning ::To Victor, he gave a slight bow of greeting, only to show respect, then added politely:: I have seen you around with Shea, but I do not believe we have met, I am sure you know me, because of Shea, but in case not, I am Assadar. I do not believe however that I have caught your name...:: Assadar smiled and waited for a reply. It looked as though either he would have two trainers today, or one was just along for the ride...::

::Shea stood there looking between Assadar and Victor.Shaking her head. Waiting for Victor to reply now so the training could comense. She ran over things in her head how things would go for this day of intenseive...training. Jade hues still wtahcing them both,shifting back and forth .::

Victor Walsh

Date: 2007-03-24 02:20 EST
Morning...and yes I know of you...- A bow of the head in return, to show Assadar the same respect. - I am Victor...and to answer the other question..Shea is trainning you..I'm here at her invite.

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-24 02:24 EST
::Shea smirked softly:: Now thats all done we can begin as we always do.Sit ::this to Assadar,hand motioned to the ground again as it had time and time before:: come to focus,and once there tell me what ye know of fire,and we shall as before continue on from there. With some basics...

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-24 02:43 EST
::Assadar sat down... He closed his eyes. Fire would not be the most difficult to tap into if it were not for the fact that he needed to keep his lust for power and destruction under control. He concentrated. He needed to keep them separated. He could not give into the lust. He sat there for a time. He could feel the power wanting to break through. He could feel the heat around him. Heat of the ground, of the air, of the rays of the sun. It was all there. He concentrated. He would not let happen to him last time he played with fire, happen again. He had made a promise. He thought of Kirin... He had to separate them... He worked out his mind, and put his lust inside of a 'chamber' of sorts in his mind. He channeled the rest through him. He could feel it all there. The chamber was not too strong, but it should last. He had to warn Shea and Victor. He had no idea how long this ordeal had taken. All he knew, was that when he opened his now fiery green eyes, the sun had changed in position::

::He stood and looked to them:: Fire... It is more than just the flame. It is heat. It is power. It is destruction. This power comes from within. If the person sees them self of low-self worth, then they will not ever even hold a flame. If a person sees them self as to good, then they could very easily become taken by the flame. One must strike a balance. Good can come from fire, but it is also the easiest to give into. It is the easiest for people to give into the power and destruction, and use it for evil. This is easiest for people like me. I must warn you two... ::He suddenly became very solemn:: This is the easiest for me to be susceptible to my lust for magic. Shea... I must come clean today... I am a Blood Elf. MY people have a natural bend toward lusting for power and magic... This is something that I gave up a long time ago, but it is also something that I struggle with, and probably always will. I have my lust locked away inside a chamber of sorts within my mind... But it could breakthrough. I warn both of you, if it does, it would be better to kill me than to let me continue... Sometime I will tell you the tale of why I made this choice, but I do believe that I have chosen the more peaceful path, but for my training to be complete, and for me to fully understand the elements, I must overcome my fear, overcome my lust, and learn fire. Thus, here I am. Before we continue, if you have any questions, or if I have betrayed you, I am sorry.

::He felt horrid for having kept this from her for so long. He looked to her and Victor with apologetic eyes. He awaited there response. He was holding his breath, and he did not even know it::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-24 02:59 EST
::Shea listened Jade hues shifted to Silver now,she had long known him not be A high elf.:: I have known from the moment we met that ye were not a high elf,I am wiser than you think Assadar, and yes what you say about fire can be very true... but not everything. Fire is very destrutive,it and burn everything in its path if given the power to, but it can aslo simply light a way,like a torchs flame. Your people lust for magic,and can use it for evil, but that is only if you

::now she pointed at him with the tip of her dawn sword from the left she had unseahthed it fast:: choose that path,darkness and fire do not mix I trust you will believe me when I say this.... You can rise above what the norm for your people do....fire can easily destory you,as well as everyone you have ever cared for.... Stuggle we all do with differnt things,I too have had a hard time with Fire till most recently,I learned some wisdom froma few friends. ::a breath now as she shetahed ehr sword:: I will take your warning to heed, and trust me,if you become consuumed by this lust for power, I will kill you.

::Silver hues flared at him as she knelt to stare him down:: Believe me when I say that I will.. I do hope that your herat is pure enough to keep you from passing beyond what borders you have set in your mind... overcome yourfear,do not lust for the power. I do have questions.. yes many but I will still train you in this task I shall not fail...

::Still starring at him as she got back to her feet:: I thank you for your honesty... ::a look to Victor to be on his toes, then back to Assadar she would look::

Fire is only evil if that whom wields it is evil,herat and soul body and mind,easily wayed to that lust for that power.. I have delt with those like that my brother... his teahcer and their allied friends... ::a breah again:: but I have learned to focus that power,to trust in mys elf to know that I am pure of heart enough to ::fire flickered in to her left hand which was un loved now. it shown brightly before it snuffed itself out:: a wind mages worst fear is fire... as it is for many mages... but fire not only can destory but create... some trees and pnats need fire to regrown stronger,fire bring warmth and soothing comfort.... it can also destory yes... no doubt... but there is a difference between defending with fire and destorying with it,I intend to teach you the good points of defending with fire,combat with fire elemental and none of the destrutive powers....my question can be answered later....for now the trainign will continue as planed...

Victor Walsh

- He stayed behind Shea, as quietly and silently as a statue. He nodded to Shea at the look he got, as he listened to the two. He would step in if he had to, but only if it came to that point. -

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-25 00:26 EST
::Assadar smiled to himself at her answer... He was happy to know that if he got out of hand, he had those that were willing to stop him. He nodded to affirm that the training would go as planned. He had no doubt been training himself against his lust, and he had come to accept that it would never leave, but that it could be controlled. It was just a matter of controlling, and hopefully, as long as he did not stray down the destructive side, he should be fine::

::He was grateful that he could get that off of his chest. This was the first step in controlling his lust. He looked to Shea with renewed determination:: I am ready to continue.

DevilishOne

::Shea smiled to him:: all right,now from the beginning as always focus on the fire ::it flickered again in to her hand:: do not over focus on it,feel the warmrth the heat the good things about it. Fus on the fire in my hand but close your eyes,feel it,not the power of destruction with in you but the powers of good it can hold..focus on it,do not will it too hard,for the flames shall rise.... ::they were low flickering flames in her hand,that licked at her fingers yet did not burn::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-25 00:52 EST
::He closed his own eyes as Shea had said. He focused on the fire in her hand. He could feel the warmth from it. He could feel the warmth of the day. He focused on what fire could do. He focused on a warm summers day, a fire cooking, a fire keeping someone warm, heat in general. He focused on the good natured aspects of fire. It could be used to help people::

::He stretched out his right arm, and opened his hand, and instead of willing a flame to appear, he focused on the heat around him, and willed it to take shape as a flame. He focused... He did not want to focus to hard, but then again, as he had found out before, sometimes finding the right balance was through trial and error. He focused. He opened his eyes, and a flame burst into life in his right hand. It was a lot bigger than he had expected, but he brought it down. It was not a matter of willing it smaller, but more of focusing on it, and taking some of the heat away. He looked to Shea, and smiled slightly:: Now what do I do with it?

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-25 01:01 EST
:;Shea wtahced him and nodded:; focused I see very good. Now any good fire mage worth their weight,nows what fire can do in both aspects of destrution and good propeties,fire can cook and warm and heat the very soil, or itcan burn and chare and mame and so many more things to eneimes friends,and on and on... now with I would like you to rise...to your feet and attack me with it , but not to foucs so much on harming me with it,think of more to warm me with it..then let it build just slightly...::no she had not taght him any of the combat moves with the other elements,but combat was a good,sometimes,and fire was powerful when used via combat::

Victor Walsh

Date: 2007-03-25 01:07 EST
- For now he just stood behind Shea, out of the way of the trainning, yet keeping his eyes for the slightest sign to move. He knew Shea could handle herself, but the look she gave him, told him..she was glad he tagged along this time. -

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-25 01:28 EST
::He looked surprised. He had very little, to no experience with fire, and she wanted him to attack her with it? This was ludicrous... She could not be serious. He looked at her face... She was... Well, he would give it a try. She wanted him to 'warm' her with it... What did that mean? He focused on the fire in his hands... He thought of it being more of a warming heat, and not so much a fire... When the fire dissipated, and he could still feel the heat, he quickly made a move of the hand a wrist, and focused it into a steam toward her. He focused on the heat heading toward her, and made it a little more powerful than warming. Then he waited to see her move::

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-25 01:41 EST
::Shea was testing him, she knew he had little experice with it but it was a test,not so much to see if he could do she figured if he tired he could, but tos ee if not only would he do it but do it right. Shea clsoed ehr silver hues eyes and felt that fire rise around her warm,the a bit warmer than warm,silve rhues foicused through those flames around her to her 'student' :: Not bad, a bit more hot than warming.. ::said as the winds whisked those flames that had surrounded her form down to nothing again,stepping out not evena burn upon her hair,face any where:: you didnt burn me which is good,that was a test,if you though I might be mad for asking you to do something like that...

Now that you've done that this should be easy...::jade hues looked down to the ground where a few logs appeared before her:: war is nothing new to me,and inw ar comes times of hard ship for you uoir kin and country, light these logs to make a fire,soft yet warm,not to hot though....just enough

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-25 17:07 EST
::He looked at the wood that Shea wanted him to light, and maintain a flame. The last part was easy, but to light a thing of wood? Well, here it goes right? He concentrated on the wood, and stretched out his hand. He first focused on the fire appearing in his hand. The fire appeared. Not to big, bot to small. A flame of average proportion. HE focused on shooting that flame at the wood. He focused and watched as the flame left his hand in a shot, and headed for the wood. The wood lit alright, but to much for him. He could not control it. He looked to Shea:: I cannot control the flame... ::It was not to bad, at least he messed up here rather than on Shea:: I am sorry Shea, I must have focused to hard.

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-26 00:20 EST
::Her silver hues focused on the fire and it snuffed out and she then gazed to him:: Its okay,mistakes can happen easily with fire,as with the growth of those buds from the earth elemental train ye must not foucs too hard.but at least it was on the harmless wood,now try again,summon the fire not to your hand though to the wood,it is easier when lighting afire not to persay shot the fire,or flame at the wood but to summon it under it.... try again...

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-27 19:00 EST
::He turned his fiery green eyes to the wood. He reached out a hand, however, this time instead of fire coming from his hand, he was using his hand as a focusing tool. He focused on the wood catching flame. He focused heat around the wood. He could feel it. The power coming from the heat, but not for evil, simply to start a fire. Then it sparked. Then... Out of the spark came a flame. The wood caught, and it began to rise. He focused on the flame getting a little smaller, and it did. HE could feel the heat, but not as if he were standing next to the flame, but as if the flame were an extension of himself. He lowered his hand and looked at Shea:: How was that?

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-28 00:01 EST
::She nodded:: very good::looking to the flames upon the wood then silve rhues shifted to him:: Moving on.. then A good fire mage knows his strength and weakness, tell me Assadar what is fires greatest weakness?

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-28 00:28 EST
::This almost seemed like a trick question, but he answered confidently. Better to be confidently wrong than weakly right:: Water. Yes, I do believe water is its greatest weakness.

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-28 00:33 EST
::Shea nodded:: Aye Water is fires greatest weakness,for you can snuff it simply with it...::the winds rose and the fire uon thsoe logs grew and grew before they snuffed out again::Water can undo fire,and even though Fire feeds off of the air,wind can undo it as well..::a bright smile then:: Now I would like you to attack me again, but this time,attack me do not focus on warming me as you did before... ::crazy just a bit, but Shea had a point::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-28 02:00 EST
::Shea was crazy. This time however, if she did not want a warning, then he wouldn't give her a warning. He looked at her, green eyes fiery as ever. He had made a tiny spark in his hand, one that Shea would not have been able to see. Then he through out his arm and hand in a quick motion, and a full flame shot toward her. He didn't want to do it, but she asked for it. As the fireball got closer and closer, he watched to see her reaction::

::Silver heus didnt have to even see that fire ball,she felt it through her as it inched closer to her it seemed to stop in mid air and then just stopped flickeing inches before her face,she smiled at him:: Nicely done...:: nodding to him that fire ball flickere din to her hand...:; can you now counter my atatck if I were to attack you back? ::she knew he might be able to,Shea was testing him pushing the limits to see if he would hold::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-28 11:46 EST
::He did not know if he could, but he would give it a try. Shea had really been pushing him through fire. Everything was going a lot faster than the rest of the elements had. He thought it might be better that way. See if his heart was pure and what not. He felt inside of himself. His lust was still enclosed in the chamber within. Someday he would have to deal with that lust, and destroy it. For right now, he left it untouched. HE looked up at her, determination in his voice:: Send one at me, and we shall see what happens.

DevilishOne

Date: 2007-03-28 15:12 EST
::Shea nodded to him softly hearing that determination in his voice.That fire rose in to ehr fingers,as she summoned it with out a word.Thosse flames licked at her fingers,feeding off that blood bound magic of wind.The flames grew a bit before silver hues rested on Assadar,she wasnt going easy on him with fire,it was the harest element to learn,and the harest to face and control.That ball of fire was then launtched at him from ehr fingers.Sheas boots shifted under her,waiting to see how he would go about facing it::

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-28 19:37 EST
::He felt the fire ball coming just before it left her hand. He was somewhat prepared, but not as prepared as he'd liked to be. HE focused on the fire, but instead of just using his fire abilities, he called upon the winds as well. He drew up the winds to redirect the fireball. Before it passed him though, he stretched out his right hand, and focused on the fire ball becoming smaller. He used a combo of a cold wind, and his ability to control the fire to snuff it out before it passed him. He wasn't sure if Shea would be impressed, or even if that was what he was supposed to do, but it worked. He looked to her:: How was that?

Assadar

Date: 2007-03-29 13:58 EST
::She was leaving? Must be trouble on the home front. Oh well. He would train and practice while she was away. She had taught him much, and there must be some trust if she was leaving him alone with all of the power she had just given him. He wanted to know what the proposition was, yet he also knew that with Shea, patience was the name of the game. "Alright. Thank you Shea for all that you have taught me thus far." HE bowed a slight bow in respect "I am in your debt." His eyes flickered to Victor, whom he had almost forgotten was there "Victor, a pleasure to meet you." He turned again to Shea. "If ever I need you, I will just call into the winds." He nodded his head, then turned and picked up his cloak, and headed down the street.

::Smirking back to Victor now,who had been standing there watching the whole thing,transpire.Shea had nmnot told Assadar why she was going home,but Victor knew.Now with everything done,she could realx and enjoy the rest of her day off, later she and Victor would be gone back to her homelands,Her fingers lingered on Victors arm a moment as they both would disappear in a flicker of wind::

Rumor had it that Shea was back in town. He had been eager to resume his training with her. HE had been practicing quite a bit, and was of course a little excited to show himself off. HE had no idea how to get a hold of her as he had not been in the inn for quite sometime. HE strapped on his training tunic, and his katana. He then put on his standard robe over himself to help hide his new weapon. He headed out of the inn, and towards their usual spot. HE knew that at some point in the day she would pass by that spot, even if she was on duty. Either way, he would either resume training, or set a new day to train. He headed to the tree that they usually meet at, and sat. Waiting...

::Rumor was right. Shea came flickering in to view.Lookinmg ready to pick up where they had last left off. There was something different about her, she looked very rested,but there was a glow about her as well,magical? or natrual. :: I see you have been training Assadar ::bright jade hues gazed to him,she was dressed in ehr training gear all weapons amassed with ehr save for ehr bow which she left at home. :: I am sure your eager to continue your training,but I sense that you have been training,not only on your own but with Storm as well :: nothing escaped thsoe jade hues,nor the wisdom that Shea had earned:: I am glad to know that your progress is going well,shall we begin as I said we would witht he combat tricks of the elements you have learned or would you like to test out other skills? :: oh yes she had noted that katana.::

He had noticed something about her as well. There was a lightness in her step. There was something about her that he had not recognized before. He removed his outer robe revealing his training tunic, and the katana. "You are right in your assessment. I have been training with Miss Storm, however, I am learning weapons from her. I was hoping that you could teach me more hand to hand combat, and elemental combat as well." He smiled, raised an eyebrow at her, and continued. "I was wondering when you would test me Shea. Our previous sessions have all begun with some sort of elemental test... Unless... That is... Your time away has made you forget..." He smiled at himself. Just checking to make sure the same old Shea was behind those jade hues.

::Shea smiled to him softly:: If your ready for such a test. I forget nothing Assadar tis somehting you should know well about me by now ::Those jade hues flickered to silver:: I may have been home relaxing and I have changed some for good resons but you shall find I am still me. If your looking for hand to hand combat and combat with elements then we shall begin where we left off with fire and work our way back, that will be the test,it will be fast paced and no time for mistakes,are you up for it?

"Shea, I have been practicing in your absence. If I am not up for it now, then I will never be up for it." He gave her a smile of assurance, and a little bit of a cocky attitude, and went to a ready position. His eyes began to glow fiery green as he tapped into the elements. He could feel the heat all around, feel the air coursing through him, feel the earth beneath him, and the water all around. She would make the first move, and he would follow.

::A curt nod to that,she could sense that he had been training while she was at home enjoying her relaxation. Sh e focused rather quickly,the air stirred about her.As she felt the earth under her boots and the air,water and fire within the earth and herself.::

:: Her jade hues were now pure silver,as they commonly were when she was in training mode. First move would be hers she had said they wpuld begin with fire and fire it would be,it would be rather fast paced. Those silver hues flared a bit as fire rose in to her gloved right hand,a simple ball of fire one would see,but as she focused upon it the air around ehr corsed in to it making it larger and more forboding,there was nothing like fighting using the elements.::

::Shea was a bit crazy for starting with fire.But she had picked up some rather good tricks from both Kegan and Ghallon,so this fight would be ratehr ineresting at least::

::That fire ball grew in her hand and those silve rhues looked to him,hoping he was well prepared to defend hims elf, now just beacuse she was usuing fire to attack didnt mean he had to use fire to defend but if he did she would be rather impressed. She let the fire ball fly, it slip in to four parts with out a word from he rmotuh and flew towards him the whipping winds only making those fire balls grow in size::

He felt the fire growing in her palms. He had no idea what she was up to, but he knew there was going to be fire flying soon. He concentrated on the elements as they grew around Shea. He only had respect for her, but he was not afraid of her. He watched as the fire ball split into four. they were growing. He counteracted two of the fireballs with two other fireballs that he conjured up, and at the last second used the wind to lift him above the other two. He then lifted a wall of water from the ground to block the other two from hitting anything, or anybody for that matter. He smiled at her. This was going to be interesting.

::Intersting indeed. Shea was rather impressed,but she wasnt done either. He had countered her fire with fire, and then water. Nicely done was the thought that passed through her mind,it was time to use one of those treicks she'd learned from Kegan::


:: she summoned fore to her again but then disappeared in the winds. she appeared behind that wall of water behind Assadar,she knew he didnt fear her she wasnt looking for fear,that fire in her hands almosts eemed to turn soild,in to blades of fire : that trick she'd picked up along the way. Those silve rhues focused on Assadar,and let thsoe fire blades fly,just as she had witht he fire balls,there were four then six as the winds touched them,then eight...feeding off the winds sparking and growing yet they would cut and burn if they touched flesh or anything else,this would be intersting::

He closed his eyes. He could feel the flames coming closer. Then, he opened his eyes and bore right at Shea, as he did so, he lifted his hands above his head, and then the earth seemed to come up and over him. There seemed to be a living statue of him made of earth. He shot rock "shields" out to meet her swords. It hit most of them, but three made it through. HE hardened the earth around him, turning it into a shield. It blocked all but one of them. The one that made it through got to his arm, and seared quite a bit of it.
He let the earth down and looked at his wound. He brought some water up to it and began to heal it little bit at a time. He would tend to it later in the evening. The water was to simply ease the pain, but now, back to training. he faced Shea and Shot his hands out rapidly a few times letting loose ten fire arrows, all aimed for her. He would watch and see how the trainer counteracted them.

::bright silver hues flared,he was getting better wasn't he. Ten flame arrows she could count them in a moments time.::

::she focused two went down as vines shot from t he earth and took them in eating the arrows flames and all. Two more got iced over and crashed to the ground. Six left,four down countered with water nice balls of water. The last two though wizzed by her one past her left arm just missing it burning the sleeve of her shirt,and left a little burn mark on her skin and just a touch of blood.

:: the other wizzed past her hair it lit up for a moment then was snuffed out by a little touch of rain:: Very nice :; shea breathed looking to her own arm, then to him:: I can heal that for you if you like :; meaning his wound::

you've been working very hard on your skills as I see. I am impressed
