Post #1313648 in Shadows of the Enlightened, a roleplay on RPG

Observation of a tense situation; It's one of the things that makes wise and great men amongst the fools and uneducated people in the world. Not that he thought the ones he was going to teach was fools nor uneducated but they still had much to learn about life and all it's aspects. Even Crystal had things to learn. Like Theron had thought yesterday; 'through teaching you will learn and trough learning you will teach'. To fully understand these words you have to extent your mind to what's more than just reality. In theory it did sound easy but in reality it's really hard to do. Yet with time they will learn just like he had to learn.

Theron had observed this whole situation between Crystal and Evin, the man's burst of rage and his uncontrollable anger. Immediately the old Instructor realized that this was the thing he had to teach Evin; how to face everything he's been through, accept his past and his future and then control his anger even in the most tense moments. This would make him strong, maybe even stronger than Theron himself but who knew?

Crystal seemed too sure of her position in this clan, of her powers and about the picture people had of her. She has to face reality, even though she seems to be one of the more smarter in this group of people. She still had much more to learn and this was going to be just another step in the right direction.

Allison will need much training for she is stuck with the training Crystal gave her. She has to extent her mind to other ideas, other ways of facing a situation and learn how to confess her feelings to someone close instead of keeping them locked inside. By letting them out she will forgive herself for her actions and mistakes just like Theron had. But first he would make sure she overcame all of her fears, both the outside ones and the inside ones.

Suddenly he realized that Evin was speaking to him, questioning what he might be able to teach them that they could not possible learn themselves. That will not be his role, he will simply push them in the right direction and from there they will learn more than they can imagine all by themselves. But it was time for him to reply to be able to get this training started.

"The question is not what what you will learn from me, but what you will learn from each other and yourself with my help." The teacher replied and walked passed his little group, moving up towards a couple of wood benches standing in a smaller clearing. He gave them the sign to follow him and sit down. After a couple of seconds and some resistance from Evin they were finally all gathered in front of him. The training of their life was now at hand.

"First, a couple of rules for without rules you will learn nothing and there will be no order. First rule: During training sessions you will address me with 'Sir' or 'Instructor'. Not by my name nor by any other name for then I will ignore you. Second rule: You will obey every order I give you, even if you don't like them or agree to my ways of teaching. I will not have you interrupting my training session with complaints. Third and last rule: Do never resist the challenges I give you for they are not given to you for harm, but for learning. Learn them and grow stronger from them. Those are the rules."

Theron moved down and it looked like he was about to sit down on the ground but before he reached the ground a small piece of earth rose from the ground that meet his butt. He had just showed them his enlightened ability but he didn't think it would affect much between them. He had to show them the truth sooner or later. He gazed at them for a while before speaking one last time.

"Tell me and do be honest, what are your greatest fears in this large world? If you're not honest with me then I will not be able to help you with anything."
