Elementia Tellurian

Chapter 11

“I don’t how it works to all of you that are natural born elemental users but, we, from Meta surrounds ourselves with the elements and without it, we can’t use it. The most accessible elements for us is the water since it is within us, we are utmost 60% of water. Next are the earth and air since it is just around us. We can’t always use fire since it is usually hard to find and limited.” Calyx explained.

“In my own opinion, you really don’t need to study this and study that. If you are from Ignis and you want to learn the element of Aqua, then you just imagine that the water is a fire,” he added.

Birch stood up and patted his tracksuit to remove the dirt that was clinging on him. “Then should we start our training?” he asked.

Calyx nodded. “Yes, but it is better if we get to surround ourselves with the element. If we can’t produce the specific elements from our body, then let us improvise.”

Alistair assessed their place. “I guess this place is set all ready. We just need a fire.”

They all looked at Sera. She raised both of her hands like she was defeated. “I know. I know. Let us just try control all the other elements that are present.”

They all stood up now and walked their way near the water. They all formed a line with a one-meter distance.

“Just remember. Suppress your true element, for now, and Imagine the water as your own. Look at Leed as your guide,” Calyx said.   

Everyone nodded and started concentrating. They all took a deep breath. Alistair started first among all of them. He tried to make movements like how he was with his wind. He motioned his right hand from side to front and to another side. He did it with his left hand, too. He was trying his best to connect his energy to the water.  He kept repeating his movements. A few minutes later, he noticed the water was starting to move every time Alistair moved his hand.  He continued what he was doing until he was able to control enough water.

Birch focused on a pushing and pulling motions. This is how he used to train when he was just starting learning to manipulate his element. In every motion, he always took a breath to focus. Just like Alistair he was trying his best to let his energy flow into the water.  Little by little, he had made some waves on every swift of his hands.

On the other hand, Sera raised her hands immediately after taking a breath, she tried to lift the water in front of her. She was able to raise the water but she had not succeed to lift an enough amount to build a wall just like what Leed did earlier to protect them just in case something appears.  

“You are good,” Leed said complementing Calyx. This is the first time he complemented someone from another regnum. He admitted that Calyx’s technique was way better than his. If they had continue doing that, they would not be able to defeat the creatures.

The two looked at the three. They were already improving.   Alistair was now able to manipulate the water as two opposing opponents who were about to face a heads-on. Birch was also controlling the element. He has done a wonderful scenery. His manipulation looked like a dancing water. While Sera, aside from the water wall that she built, not greater enough compared to what had Leed done, she had built small balls of water.”

“Now now, should we now continue with the Aeris’ element?” Calyx suggested. Air was the very first element he manipulated and later on it was overrun with other elements.  Air was the most accessible element for him. It was just everywhere.

All of them were starting the learn the element. They went back to where they were standing learning the water earlier but this time, the new element is the air.

“Why did you stop, Gerard?” Prince Zale asked to his right-hand man.

“We are being ambush sir!”

Prince Zale looked at the window. Some furry man with a weapons attacked Gerard since he was just outside of the carriage. He was pointing knife on Gerard’s leg.

“We just need food!” the man exclaimed.

Prince Zale sighed. He wore a cloak to cover his face and went out of the carriage. He went behind the carriage to head to his food supplies. He tosses his food supplies that were enough for three days near the man who was holding the weapon. Prince Zale just could easily just exterminate this young one man without any problem but it would be unfair to them. The man doesn’t look that it possesses any elemental power. Is he part of the Meta’s commoners? He thought. However, from here, it would still need to travel hours before reaching the Meta’s border. They were clearly still in Aqua’s territory.

Prince Zale let out a medium ball of water from his hand. He looked and the man in an intense guild. “Go.”

The man flashed shocked emotion on his face. He immediately collects the food and ran away as fast as he can.

Gerard let out a deep breath. “Thank you, your highness!”

Zale absorbed his power back. “Do you think they are from Aqua?” asked Zale.

As he tries to remember the man’s face, he can’t. It was covered with dirt. The only thing that he remembered were the furry and animal printed pattern on his clothes.  

“After our visit from both of the kingdoms, let us visit ours as well, Gerard.” Gerard nodded and went up back to his seat in front of the carriage. “That is noted, your highness.”

Zale went back inside his carriage and removed his cloak. “We need to stop by at the market at the Meta, too, once we are there so we can buy some supplies of food.”

“That is also noted, your highness!” Gerard answered from the outside.

Zale looked out outside his window and already saw the Meta Regnum’s border. it seemed that they’ll be starting their investigation, soon.
