Snippet #2707150

Usha followed after everyone quietly, which was unusual regarding that she usually always had some sneered remarks but something told her that this journey would required her to be on her best behavior. She could have teased Atlas on his heavy footfalls, his urgency as soon as they stepped foot on the solid earth and a few other things but she could sense that there were creatures within this forest that would not be worth dealing with at this time. She sprinted quickly after Atlas, only glancing at Tempos and Sabrina to make sure that they were keeping up.

Orthello lead me into a small empty room and we sat down facing each other. Orthello's weathered gold eyes looked at me and he smiled lightly. "Relax your mind Aiyana. This is not training." I looked at Orthello with a questioning look on my face. "What are we doing here then? Are you going to tell me about the elves of N'hrive? Are you going to tell me about my mother?" I asked. Orthello shook his head. "Not now, no. I will share stories with you later when we are not pressed on time but for now, I must unlock the royal N'hrive blood within you." I blinked lightly in confusion. "Unlock?" I asked. Orthello nod his head. "Every young elf receives a blessing from the elder of its tribe when they are born. The blessing unlocks the elves abilities and skills to its peak and over time the elf trains and perfects their skill and ability. Your blood has not been unlocked so as an honorable elder of the elven clan of N'hrive, I, Orthello, champion of Usha will bless you. Please, relax your mind and body, Aiyana." I stared at Orthello before I slowly closed my eyes and I exhaled deeply and slowly. Orthello smiled lightly and he touched my forehead gently. "Aman tel' Seldarine." The touch was gentle but I almost felt an immediate change within my body. My eyes opened and I looked at my hands and saw no visible change but it felt like pins and needles where sticking into every part of my body, in every organ, in every muscle. I closed my hands in a fist and I pulled my arms close to me. "W-What is happening?" Orthello smiled lightly. "Do not worry. Your abilities and skills are being unlocked all the way down to the cellular level. The pain should be gone right about....now." I blinked lightly. Orthello was right. The feeling of pins and needles disappeared and I looked back at my hands. They did not look different and I certainly did not feel different. I looked at Orthello and I saw his small smile. "Now since that is done, let us began working on control."
