[Jungle Wilds] Sparking Scales

1st of Winter 513 A.V, 22nd of Bell, Jungle Wilds

Under the moonlit night in very early winter, where the jungle kept its humidity and warmth despite Morwen's peak of power coursing throughout Mizahar. At a particular spot in the massive biome teeming with life, specifically just about half a mile from the northern tunnel of Zinrah, there was a lone human-looking girl sitting on a large root of a tree, she had rather pale skin tone with long jet black hair reaching to her waist tied into twin ponytails, wearing a simple black robe tied together with a red sash. At a first glance, this girl could be seen as a human, but... when one gaze upon her eyes, one would suspect the girl's true reptilian nature, her scarlet slitted eyes, one of the inhuman traits still preserved in her human form and the most obvious.

"*Sigh*..." The Dhani girl named 'Aka' let out a long sigh as she admired the beautiful jungle, truly, it was a marvelous sight once she took the time to sit down and observe, not burning them down with her flames in fury. Her mind wandered back to her strange experience when she explored the magical reflecting pools, the voice or presence or whatever power lingered there, opened her eyes to her misdoings, the Viper kept clinging to her past and to vent her frustration, she unleashed her flames, taking down innocent nature lives with it. Aka felt awful for days after she went back from the pool, mulling over her actions. Aka made a promise to herself that she wouldn't use excessive force unless necessary and would clean up after her flames, not leaving them to burn the jungle. Not all could appreciate the warm embrace of fire after all, only Ivak's children could truly touch them unharmed.

Thinking about fire made Aka's mind wandered to her Reimancy, ever since she was initiated by Galbern, something switched inside her soul, like a blocked stream suddenly released, deep inside, Aka felt she was meant to be a reimancer, it was her talent, her calling, it just took someone to unlock that potential. The Viper had mastery over fire, earth, and lava, the three elements she used the most. She could control air, but had not yet discover how to control water even if she had the potential. Water... was awful, being a desert-born Dhani with a natural affinity to heat and flames, combined with the trauma of almost drowning back in the Priskil's Pond made the Viper rather hydrophobic. She could tolerate small body of water like the steam baths, but places such as the Kandukta Basin? Big no.

Important Note: Aka is currently pregnant (with eggs, being a Dhani) at the moment and as such, her belly is slightly bulging and she moves noticeably slower than usual.

[Jungle Wilds] Sparking Scales

Shrugging her mind off water, Aka decided to spend the rest of the night with some experimentation, perhaps there was another element, it was rather unique as being the only one to become virtually uncontrollable once transmuted and also the rarest to occur naturally... the element was Lightning, the mighty boom of thunder and shocking electricity combined into one instant fatal strike, Aka never delved much into the element and all the lightning transmutations she did in the past was in the heat of combat where euphoria dulled her fears. This wouldn't do, she needed to learn restraint regarding this dangerous element, unlike fire, she was not immune to it, unlike earth, each bolt for barely a tick, unlike air, it was inherently deadly. Aka feared if the day where she had to face a lightning reimancer should come, if she had no deeper knowledge, she would surely lose before lifting a single fireball.

No more time to waste, the Viper stood up, she extended her right hand and exhumed her gaseous res in the shape of a small torch, then she ignited it, turning her right hand into a torch, her gnosis keeping her safe. It was just a small warm-up... literally, the Viper inhaled and exhaled, preparing mentally to acquaintance herself with the electrical element. She closed her eyes, her mind searching for all she knew about lightning. Lightning was fast, very fast, one could say they traveled in an instant; lightning was destructive, no ifs and buts about it, even a mighty Constrictor would turn to a crisp in barely a tick of being hit; lightning was loud, very loud, using lightning for stealth attacks was like shouting "Sneak Attack!" before ambushing an opponent; and finally, lightning burns, the tree, ground, and objects struck by it somehow combusted in flames after the initial bolt struck it. Truly, it was a majestic and dangerous element worthy of respect.

Aka imagined herself, standing in the middle of a storm desert, she ignored the falling droplets of water, and focused on the booms of thunder above. Lightning, fast, destructive, burns, it was like a combination of fire and offensive air, her eyes fluttered open, the torch still burning on her right hand, held by her gaseous res. Idly, she wondered... what if... she snuffed out the flame, leaving her res floating above her right palm. With her imagination in mind, Aka pulled at her djed, commanding her res to create something new then... a spark, a small spark of electricity jolted, prickling her fingers. "Isss thisss?" Her slitted eyes widened in awe, she pushed her mind again, another spark, the Viper carefully maintained her state of mind, now her res contained small sparks of electricity bolting in random directions, some connecting with her hand.

The Viper bobbed up her right hand, sending the small sparking res cloud away from her, she took a few steps back, more res exhuming from her right palm, joining in with the cloud. Like Fire and Air, combined, fast, loud, burning, the power of a raging sky. She chanted, her focus completely occupied in maintaining the small spark, then she pushed further, the spark gradually grew in size, now constant electrical noises echoed in her location. She did it, she found a way to generate electricity, but it was not enough, she couldn't control it. A lightning was useless if it struck its own master, Aka then made a clapping motion by extending her arms outwards then slowly moved them towards each other, her res cloud narrowed in kind, turning into a thin pipe of thick res, with electricity contained inside.

With a push of her mind, Aka 'opened' one end of res pipe, the one heading away from her then... *BOOM!*. A voice so loud, it stunned the Viper, her vision was filled with white as a bright flash of light exploded from her res. When she had recovered, a long streak of white smoke waltzed from her res into a small tree quite faraway from her, the tree's trunk was broken in two, small flames burning what remained of it. "Amazing..." Poor tree, but it was a necessary sacrifice, she couldn't practice this element in Zinrah. The loud sound would surely attract attention, she could hear animals running away in the distance from fright, it would only be a matter of chimes before Myrians started to arrive. Heck, if they were going to arrive, she might as well have some more fun until they did.

This time, Aka pushed back her anxiety, filling herself with confidence, the Viper planted her right foot firmly on the ground as she raised both of her hands upwards, gaseous res flowing out from her palms. "Aaaah~" She hissed in pleasure, this amount of res was rather insignificant for her power, but still, it felt so good. Her res gathered into a circle-shaped cloud on the sky above her, then Aka pointed to it with her right index finger, closing her eyes to concentrate. Lightning, storm, and thunder... heed my call! The cloud res began generating electricity, they sparked and lashed with barely contained fury. The Viper looked upon her electric children with awe, they would go along nicely with her flames, she clenched her right hand into a fist and then... *BOOOOOOM!* A deafening blast raged through the jungle as five sparks of lightning waltzed through the air from the circle-shaped cloud, creating the image of a stereotypical five-sided star.

"Ha... ha..." Her heart beat fast, excitement taking over her, she must show this to Evalin! The Myrians shall tremble beneath her power and her cousins shall respect it whether they liked it or not. "Hm?" A chime after her lightning display, the faint guttural voices of Myrians were heard, it was time for her to go. Aka wasn't in the mood for hunting that night. With an arrogant flick of her hair, the Viper sprinted away from her spot, returning home to Zinrah.

Cool little thread of Aka discovering her power. I really liked how you showed her thought process in handling it by comparing it to other elements she knows. Please PM me with any questions or concerns regarding this grade!
