It was evident that this room was constructed according to human standards. In fact, Quiver had trouble climbing down from his bed. As Quiver was only seven inches tall and quite fragile, jumping was not an option. Four bedposts descended from the corners of the bed. Quiver observed them, noting that sliding down one of them might be a possibility. Glancing at his surroundings, Quiver realized that he would not have many other choices.
Grumpily, Quiver mused to himself, "I'm no acrobat. I'm a reimancer! Why would I waste time trying to slide down the posts. Gah. Petching Nykans; haven't they met a Pycon before. By Harameus! I swear the service here is awful." Quiver was still recovering from his extensive travels, and he was extremely moody. However, Quiver thoughts had planted an idea in his mind. One that just might be succesful.
Unsteadily, Quiver wobbled to the edge of his bed which lay diagonal to the wall. At this side of the bed, Quiver had a complete view across the rest of his room. "What if, I channeled Res and trasmuted it into a brick staircase? Then, I could own a easy, simple way to climb into bed?" Quiver questioned. Father always taught Quiver to visualize his plans before creating Res. Evidently, it lessened the chance that Quiver created to much res and suffered from overgiving. Ironic, since Quiver's father died from overgving. Observing his surroundings, Quiver visualized his plan. He would convert Djed into res to construct between ten to fifteen tall but thin, stone bricks. Then, Quiver would create solid res which he would move into place before transmuting it. The bricks would not have to be wide since Quiver had short leg, and the bed sat nearly two feet off the ground, so the tallest brick would have to be that height. Each subsequent brick would then decrease in height with the smallest laying only two inches off the ground. Thus, bricks would also be two inches shorter than the previous brick.
Plan in mind, Quiver began the process of creating Res. First, Quiver cleared his mind of all stray thoughts; his father taught him meditation to help him focus on Reimancy. With this process beginning, Quiver then stretched his arms out in front of him, parrelel to the bed. This completed, Quiver began imagining, no, forcing Djed to emanate from his body in the form of res. Moments passed, but Quiver remembered his father teaching. tutoring tgat Res would take longer for Quiver to construct on his own. Finally, Quiver's labors came to fruition. Res,the solid form,began tostream from Quiver's outstreched hands. It quivered with energy and was an elegant,matte white color. It floated above him, and Quiver channeled enough Res, hoping to construct a tall enough brick before moving it to the desired positon next to his bed. Then, Quiver transmuted the res into a solid,stone-like substance.
Quiver's first brick, though slightly misshapen,was complete. |
