Amayu Miyora's Story

Kuma

"so then everyone will be coming along then" this was soon backed up with Jonas limping out the door following after Sierra who ran. Kuma turned to the others motioning for them to come along and stepped out into the cold her breathe formed a white cloud in front of her but she wasnt cold in the slightest. "Sierra do calm down its alright its dead now come along dont want to reach the twon in the dark" she smiled at them. Kuma ran forwards a little twirling and laughed the excitment from being free came back "oh isnt this great a new start on life now we can live like free people" her grin widened she held her arm out towards Sierra "come join me Sierra you too Jonas" holding both arms out to the two of them.

Seth spoke "Well Jackie let's get going I'll teach you some of the basics about being a mage it will probably be a little different for you, but I'm sure the principle is the same. Amayu come on we don't want to be left behind by the others, Kuma and Sierra are already moving forward." Seth took Amayu's right hand in his left and Jackie's left in his right pulling them out of the house, running to catch up with the others. A large smile came to his face. His old life wasn't bad , but this this made him feel a lot more alive than any time before.

Seth ran through the forest fast as he could, Amayu and Jackie right behind him. He had been running he guessed a good ten minutes before he slowed down. Just up ahead Sierra was turning into from one animal to the next. He was now only walking slow. He stayed beside Jackie and Amayu. "So Jackie how about that lesson. I'll teach you what i can, but I've only had my powers for a year now so i can only teach you a litle about control." Said Seth.

Amayu had stopped with Seth, "I'll go to my home to see if it's still mine." she said as she ran off soon after a few minutes of running she had reached the door and found her key in the tree. She looked at the lock, "please... Work"she mumbled as the door was unlocked, "oh thank you" she said before walking into the foyer and smiling, "Just how mum left it" she said as she looked throughout the house for any dangers, "hmm... I thought they would have someone living here already..." he mumbled as a light came on causing her to panic, "Amayu...? Is that you?" the voice asked as she sighed and walked out, "You're alive?!" the voice said in shock, "Yeah..." Amayu said poking herself as she heard a gun load, "Wait..." she said as the gun went off, "Demon!" the voice yelled, "What?!" Amayu yelled as the figure finally had a face, "Kiyoa" Amayu mumbled as she looked at the man, whom hated Amayu, more shots were fired as Amayu jumped around and soon took the man by his throat, Amayu was furious at the man for damaging her home, "Get. Out!" she yelled as she threw him out the door, "And stay out!" she yelled as she checked the rest of the house, "Good." she mumbled as she ran back, "My home is all clear." she said with a light head tilt and smile.

Kuma

she smiled at Sierras offer but shook her head "I think I will pass on your offer Sierra" patting the girl on the head. Kuma linked arms again with the both of them following Amayu and the others who seemed to know where they were going. then Amayu ran off ahead of them and Kuma could hear gunshots in the distance, this made Kuma flinch and stop in her tracks thinking the facility had come to get them. but after rushing towards Amayu to make sure she was alright Kuma breathed a sigh of relief glad that the young girl was alright. "oh thank God Amayu I thought that was the facility was shooting at us, are you alright?" concern heavy in her voice as she stepped through the doorway but stopped standing in the hall uncertain if she should continue further in the house.

Seth was a little worried at first when he heard the Gunshots from the house Amayu had gone in, but when he saw the man tumble out of the house and run off he new it was all right. He had only known Amayu a few hours, but she was the one single reason he wasn't in the facility and he would probably have to work damn hard to pay her back for it. Clearly she was independent.
He sighed with relief and turned to Jackie. "Well Jackie this might be the one lesson I give you. First to start knowing control you got to know how to loose it. If you known how to do that we can start to lay the foundation that will be control. So, to loose it I want you to look at that rock." said Seth turning her to look at a simple rock, well more of a bolder actually just there. Seth went on in his instructions, "look at that rock, visualize it as every person who ever made you feel, bad, hurt, pain, irritation(Irritation is probably the best one). Then loose it, just wreck that rock like you never wrecked anything as much as this, at the same time this can also get rid of some stress, so good luck." he gave her an encouraging smile and stepped away from her a little.

Jackie looked at Amayu when she went to find out if her house was okay. She watched her disappear. After a little bit, gunshots were heard and Jackie felt her stomach tighten. Turning her head when Seth did, the two saw a man running away from a house as if his life depended on it, which it probably did.

Seth started speaking. She listened to him carefully and then felt herself being turned. Her eyes were locked on the boulder Seth had mentioned.

I'm supposed to what, set that on fire?
The thought was ridiculous, and Jackie shook her head. Seth's words evntually stopped and she turned her head to look at him. "Loose it, on a rock? What am I suppose to do? Set it on fire? You can't be serious."

She looked at him and then the rock. Really, what was she suppose to do to it?
What did he exactly mean by 'loose it'?

Seth: "Well I suppose you are right. You may need a demonstration." Seth turned toward the rock. "When I first started using my power I could only do it by feeling a strong emotion, anger. So right now I'm thinking of the kids in elementary school that picked on me, the bullies in high school that have ganged up on me. I'm thinking of every insult that has been cast upon me!" by the end of his words his voice was now loud and resonating through the air. Strong winds began picking up, the trees swayed in the winds all around them. The sky began to darken. This was one of the most dangerous things Seth could do resorting to emotion made him loose a lot of control. Finally he released all of his anger a wind came down from the sky so fierce the naked eye could see it. The wind blasted down striking the rock, everything was being blown away from where the rock had been.
The wind died down, the sky cleared, everything was back to normal. Seth fell on to the ground panting. "That..." he took a moment to breath a little more, "is how you loose it. So pick a target and try." Seth lay back and passed out. Using this much power really did a number on him, plus when relying on his emotion it used twice as much energy.

Seth's eyes slowly opened, Jackie was leaning over him patting his cheek. "Sorry." he was feeling weak, from his demonstration. "Since I've never met a mage before I can only make theories about my powers, but it seems to me that the more control I learn the harder it becomes to rely on emotion. Which is definitely a good thing. You won't pass out from doing it like I do, well I guess anyway. So don't... worry, and I... just... need... rest" Seth barely finished his words before once again passing out.

Seth had woken up, and then passed out again. His words this time sounded far away, probably because he was so weak. Jackie felt bad that Seth used all his energy to demonstrate. Truthfully, she still didn't know how she was suppose to 'loose it'. Sighing, she sat back in the snow and watched the sky, thinking.
"Okay, let's see what we know. Seth is an airmage and passed out when he demonstrated how to 'loose it'. Apparently, I'm a firemage and have to 'loose it' even though I still don't know what to do. But really, I just don't believe that I can create fire cause the thought is ludicrous." All of a sudden, she sprang up to her feet. "That's it."

Jackie looked at Seth and frowned slightly. Taking a few step forward, she explored the area around the rock that had been blasted by air. The objects originally around it were far from their starting points. A small tree caught Jackie's eye a few feet to her left and she walked over, examining it.
"Well, let's see if this works." Mumbling, she cupped her hands first and thought. She pictured a tiny flame, despite the fact that picturing the flame wouldn't create it. As Jackie opened up her right eye and saw there was no flame, she figured she would try harder. She thought again, only to come up with the same result. Frustration began to form in her and she grunted.
Why can't I do it? I just want to be able to do what I was told I could do. What if I actually couldn't? What if I was just imagining it this whole time. No. I couldn't have been. Ugh. One more time.

For the last time, Jacqueline tried picturing the flamesin her hand. Still, nothing happened. When she opened her eye and saw nothing there, her insides seemed to boil and she wanted to scream. Her emotions were getting in the way again, but she didn't bother to stop them. She pounded her fists against her thigh and screamed, but not too loudly. Her hands fould their way to her hair and she pulled, gritting her teeth as she did so. The heat she felt inside seemed to increase, but her anger seemed to decrease. It was just another silly fit. She always got over them as quickly as they came. However, this time it felt different. She felt totally calm, it was like this fire was raging inside her. The feeling was...pleasant.


It was then that she smelt the smoke. The leaves of the small tree were burning, creatingg black smoke to rise into the air. Along with the small tree, A much larger tree behind her was burning as well. She didn't know how the fire had started but she knew she was frustrated when it did. She had been told to loose control, so she knew that was what she was going to do, even though the urge to stop was great.

Focusing, Jackie brought the negative emotions up like Seth had told her to before he passed out. The feeling in her gut intensified and she looked at the ground, trying to focus on melting the snow if possible and stop burning the trees. It worked. Soon enough, the snow that had landed on the ground was melted around her. Her eyes scanned the ground, and it seemed as if wherever she looked, the blanket of snow was pulled back to reveal its natural ground. A smile formed and the feeling vanished, as if it had never even existed.
