‘So my partner will be the first person that shares a glance with me within the forest.’ She liked that, she liked that a lot. It was such a romantic way of doing things. She liked that so much that she almost failed to notice that the person next to her got flung in the air.
‘Oh MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!’ she screamed in her head, for shouting out loud was rude and she was raised better than that…speaking of being raised.
‘I despise flying!!!’ she thought, for despite the fact she wasn’t technically flying,
‘This is still far too close to it. Oh WHY do people only get flung in the air when there is not a speck of rain in the sky? And why are we always flung towards a tree instead of that adorable little pond just yonder?’She allowed a frustrated sigh to escape her lips. Not one minute into the initiation and she already had to use dust. She probably should have expected that, it wouldn’t be a good initiation if it didn’t push them to the limit, but the thought of the recent price raise in local dust still ruined her mood.
‘Let’s not use more than necessary’ she thought while drawing her rapier, a blade with a pattern of holes that coiled around it.
‘Lis, let’s let loose.’She could feel her hair changing as water began to pour out of each hole of her rapier, followed closely by white threads like the ones that where no doubt also present on her head. The water seemingly came to life in the shape of a snake and lunged forward, assuming something resembling a U shape. With a quick command and a little timing, the water froze against 2 trees, and she found herself flung in the air for the second time that day, but this time in a more controlled manner. A slash, a flip and a roll later, she found her back against the grass and her eyes pointed at the sky, unharmed but not in the finest of moods.
“I thoroughly…THOROUGHLY…despise flying…”
