It Commences [Kaeson, Nai'shee]

She gratefully took cup from Mistress Farah, unconsciously murmuring few thankful words. Cold ice felt like burn in her warm mouth. Her whole body was warm, as if she run for hours. Her breathing quickly calmed and she stopped making any noise. She got somewhat sleepy, but she refused to close her eyes. Her attention was on Kaeson. His eyes were bright yellow and his pupils narrowed. Now she was sure he was Vantha. She looked carefully, trying to pick up every detail, since she was almost unaware what happened during her own initiation. As her body rested she started to feel uncomfortable in position she took at first - 'fall-and-stay-down position'. However, she did not move.

OOCYeah, I did wonder why is that.XD Thanks for that.^w^

Kaeson, eyes closed, silently waited for the pain he knew would come. Focusing on his breathing, trying to show his fear, Kaeson waited.

And then he felt something brush up against the tip of his index finger.

Opening his eyes, Kaeson saw the ethereal gas slowly make it's way toward the twin gashes on his palms. Even though he understood the res as the source of his imminent pain, Kaeson couldn't help but admire the res' ethereal beauty. The res was mainly translucent, invisible except for the soft glow it emitted. It dimmed everything around it by comparison, seemingly absorbing what little light the classroom had.

All these thoughts of beauty were immediately forgotten as he felt the res enter his wounds.

It had enticed Kaeson, cathing him completely off guard as his body was enveloped in pain. Kaeson tried to scream, tried to beg MIstress Farah to stop, but the moment Kaeson opened his mouth to protest, res began to flow in, allowing only a silent plea of agony escape.

And then the pained stopped, and his eyes turned blue and his body flooded with relief.

Breathing heavily, Kaeson stuttered, " I...It's done."

OOCI don't know if you can actually feel res in its gaseous state, so if he can't Il'll gladly edit the post :]

Mistress Farah observed Kaeson as he, too, came into terms with the events. Just like the blond-haired girl, and any other person who had to endure initiation, he seemed to be in pain. The Mistress noted how his eyes shifted with his emotions.

After a few minutes of resting, the Mistress finally stood up and clapped her hands together to get their attention. That was enough rest.

"In order to see if the initiation was succesful, you need to generate the Res as well. Just remember how it felt when it entered your bodies... concentrate on that, try to replicate it. Try to envision an element. However... even if the initation went right, we don't know what element you can generate. It can be anything, so keep trying until you get the right one."

She knew that one could never tell what element he could generate until he tried. Some individuals even took time to pray for an element that they wanted, and hoped that the Gods would grant their request.

Mistress Farah remembered the day she had been initiated. She had hoped, wished, to be able to replicate air that day. However, it was the power of water she had been gifted with. She could do nothing but accept the choice of destiny.

"Quickly now... the longer we wait, the more you two will forget what you felt."

After few more minutes she felt fine. Her muscles still hurt a bit and she had little headache, but except that she felt normal. She frowned while standing up, but she proceed to the middle of the room, where Kaeson and Mistress Farah stood. She listened to her explanation, which seemed pretty simple. She was satisfied for that, she did not need anything complicated in the situation like this. She took a moment to look at Kaeson, wondering if the boy was alright, but than she closed her eyes.

For a moment she wondered what to do. She felt as her thoughts were exposed, as if everybody knew that she had no idea what was she doing, but she reminded herself it wasn't the case. She rose her palm, because it was instinctive response on Mistress' words, try to replicate it. Res firstly entered into her palm, so that was first and strongest memory of it she had. First thing that came back to her when she tried to imagine the feeling was pain, but she threw that thought away. She recalled the feeling, pure feeling without her pain. Her first thought was of air. It would normally be water, but she imagined Res was a gas until it changed to the element, so first image she created was generating gas from her palm or out of her mouth. As it gave no results after some time of trying she went to water. She recalled itching feeling into her palm, trying to imagine taking it out, she saw water flushing out of her wounds. Suddenly she started to actually feel what she imagined a moment ago. It was strange, turning it to reality.

After few moments she didn't feel anything, but she was able to hear quiet drip on the floor in front of her. She opened her eyes. She searched for the source of noise, but the room was dark. She noticed Mistress' smile and soon she noticed little drop of water on the floor, just few inches away from her feet. "Was that-?", she asked, confused, because she wasn't aware of what she did. If she hadn't closed her eyes she would probably have some image of what have just happened, but now she felt as if she haven't really experienced her first attempt for Reimancy.

After a few minutes to collect himself, Kaeson felt remarkably better, although he still seemed to be breathing hard.

But Kaeson wasn't worried about his breathing or how he felt at that moment, he was more focused on replicating how he had felt during his initiation. Kaeson held his hands up close to his face, as if examine his wounds. In actuality, Kaeson wanted to see the exact moment when he would produce res. Kaeson breathed slowly, trying to recall the exact feeling the res had created inside his body. It had been like he was a ballon, brimming with air and all Kaeson had to do now was to let some of that air out.

A small "oh!" escape his lips as he saw, no felt the res escape him. Kaeson smiled as he noticed the res, in a gaseous form, flicker before him. Unlike the res he had seen Mistress Farah produce, Kaeson had produced a golden res, more similar to smoke or fog in its appearance. Thoughts immediately going to air, the element he would prefer, Kaeson tried making it change to its will. Nothing, and the res remained as golden as ever.

"Maybe water?" Kaeson asked himself, and then proceded to try to convert the res to the liquid. Kaeson smiled as he saw the res fall to the floor, liquified, but frowned as he noticed it retained its golden hue. "Fire?" Kaeson asked again, and then tried to set the res alight with flame. Kaeson sighed, clearly dissapointed as nothing happened. "Well, I guess its earth," Kaeson said halfheartedly, before watching the res turned to solid dirt.

It hadn't been what Kaeson had originally wanted, bu he still managed to smile at his accomplishment.

The blond-haired girl was able to produce water.

Mistress Farah looked at the girl with curiosity. Somehow, she reminded the Mistress of the sea. If the Mistress didn't know any better, she would say that Nai'shee was a Svefra. It looked like that was the truth, anyway – she had the blue eyes of a Svefra, which was uncanny. It didn't make any sense – the Svefra were people of the sea, and they felt imprisoned on land. It would be unlikely for a Svefra to stay within the confines of the University. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to ask, though.

"Water," said the Mistress to Nai'shee in an interested tone. "Good choice," she added, even if she knew that Nai'shee had no conscious say in it. "Are you a Svefra, Nai'shee? You do look like one. Perhaps you are much more inclined to the element of water than you think."

She turned to Kaeson and watched him go through the process of figuring out what his element was. He seemed to go through all the possibilities before he finally discovered that he could transmute his Res into dirt.

"You seem dejected, Kaeson," said the Mistress. "Why is that? Earth is just as good an element as all the others. "

Perhaps he wanted another element, and the fact that he received something he didn't prefer was not uncommon among first-time reimancers. The Mistress gave Kaeson a smile, hoping that he would realize that if he was given the gift to transmute earth, that there was a reason.

She looked at the two students. "I think that would be enough. We don't know your limits yet, and we don't want to test it. You two just got initiated, so best give yourself as much rest first. Any more questions?"

OOCGo ahead and make your concluding posts, then I can grade it. However, if you have more questions for Farah or if there's anything else I missed, then it would be best to post about that.

Nai'shee was stunned for a moment when Mistress Farah spoke. Water. It really was water! Her element was water! She blinked when she heard next question. That theory was pretty popular nowadays. She wondered if it might be true. She hoped so. It could explain her passion for sailing and she could really pass as one of them. Yet, she couldn't believe it. She grew as human and it was everything she ever knew. She knew nothing about Svefra and she wouldn't accept that theory without a prove, no matter how much she wanted to. "I'm not sure, Mistress. I might be, but I didn't grow up as one." She was impressed that she said it the right way. More questions would probably be rude in situation like this, in front of Kaeson and everything. She had no intentions in telling her more, so her mind already started to find excuses and think of a new story. But this time none of her stories were fit, since Mistress probably saw her in Zeltiva often during her little life and she might know any people she names as stepparents. She remained silent, ready to think of something suitable if she was questioned more than this.

Her thoughts floated back at her element. She couldn't be more happy about it. Especially now. She was able to product bits of drinkable water, just in case. With much practice there would be little limits to what she could do at the sea. It might become great part of her life, she could use it while sailing. Overgiving was her only fear. But her imagination forgot about it for now and she imagined her, the great sailor, maybe even a captain. Her dream seemed a bit closer to her and her recent steps were bigger than before, she was led into new experiences and hoped for results soon.

Voices woke her up again and she lift a tiny smirk on her face.

"No, Mistress", she responded cheerfully before she would allowed to step away. Later she looked at the wounds on her palms and wondered what are limits of human being, who discovered all of the things she ever learned.

None, she realized.

"Earth," Kaeson thought to himself. Part of him wanted to try again -- perhaps there had been some mistake? Surely Earth, so stagnant and unchanging in its form, was not the element Kaeson was meant to have, to control? Kaeson had always viewed himself more as air, flexible and ever moving. Hadn't he been living the last three years, constantly moving, more like air than earth?

"Uh, no. No, it's fine," Kaeson smiled, adding, "Earth was, uh, my first choice," without much conviction. Kaeson's thoughts went back to earth, wondering if perhaps it was a sign? Maybe he would be staying in Zeltiva after all...

"Besides," Kaeson thought, "I could do a lot with earth...rock, stone, dust, sand -- I can control them all, now." Kaeson thought to himself. Earth would also retain the shape of the his res. If he ever wanted to go into weaponry he would save a but load of miza.

Suddenly, Mistress Farah's voice called him back to reality.

"No, Mistress Farah, I have no questions," Kaeson responded. He only wanted to leave.

The Mistress raised an eyebrow. "No questions? Oh, and before I forget... here, take this."

She had a myriad of questions about reimancy even before she got initiated. Maybe these students just didn't realize it yet, but they still had a lot to learn, even bits of information they couldn't gather just from practice.

No matter, they were tired, they needed rest. She handed both of them a book. It wasn't thick, and the title "Reimancy 101"Basic and IC information that can be found in the reimancy lore can be found in this book was written on the cover.

"Okay, good work, Nai'shee, Kaeson. You may go," said the Mistress. With that, she put her attention to the bloodied daggers and started to wipe them clean.
