Chapter 6- Picture on Wood
it was right b4 noon, b4 lunch, and Celie had magic-session. she strided down the well hidden path to eris-Kyra's tree-hut. eris-Kyra waited at the trunk of her tree, her eyes silently regarding all of her students as they chattered and whispered. the Eris had always creeped Celie out, the way she would turn around and see the eris's eyes on her, catlike and alert, and the way she could always understand what Celie meant and what she said even b4 she spoke. Celie sat, leaning on a tree stump and yawned, it was the day b4 the Full Moon Festival.
Moments later.... -.-
Celie stood upright, her eyes concentrating on an ball of fluid water in her hands. around her everyone else was doing the same, eris-Kyra strolled between the rows of elvons, occasionally giving out advice or adjusting someone's posture. Celie's handful of liquid water floated, seemingly like a cloud, an inch above her cupped hands. Celie concentrated as hard as she could, her eyes never leaving the liquid and eris-Kyra's words burning into her mind 'do not let go of that wisp of magic that u now clutch in your mind, or the water will spill', but still it was hard for Celie to keep the water in the same position for so long. the liquid sloshed endlessly, moving this way and that, every movement, nearly spilling out of her hands. just then, the sharp, clear note of a bell enamated from an old oak nearby. eris-Kyra frowned and spoke "let us review our wood carving spells." she passed out blocks of wood about the side of Celie's head. Celie looked around, having forgotten what to do; everyone else was either placing the wooden piece on the ground or on their lap. Celie did the same and felt someone watching her, she looked up to see eris-Kyra staring straight at her. Celie quickly looked down and wondered if she had see her look around to see what to do. "do u need help?" a voice sounded in front of her. she slowly looked up and saw the eris standind in right front of her. she stammered, "i ...forgot... what to do...." eris-Kyra simply stood by Celie's side and took her hands in hers, and, gently traced the wood with their fingers, each little swell and hole, and all the patterns that twisted and fro. now picture an image in your mind the eris's voice sounded in her head. Celie shuddered inwardly, it still made her shiver when eris-Kyra spoke in her head. she would never be used to it, even though eris-Kyra seldom did so. Celie pictured a blue ocean, clear ceraulean blue with stains of midnight upon it, that glistened with each swell. above the undulating water were snake-like strips of clouds and mist, circling a deep red setting sun, fading to pink. the sky, purple and midnight blue. as Celie pictured the image, their was a slight nudge in her mind, a presence pushing its way in. and suddenly the ocean shivered and the waters gave way to a serpent with glistening green and red scales. its tail, like a mermaid's and teeth like a shark. its body rippled in a way that made it look so real. perfect. . . . the prescence in Celie's mind whispered, and Celie realized it was eris-Kyra. the eris then whispered the words for Celie to speak. Celie nodded whispered "styra runea" the instant she opened her eyes, the words worked their magic and the image from her brain was smoothed onto the wooden plank. Celie turned to thank eris-Kyra, but by the time she looked, the eris was gone. then just as she started to pick up the picture from the ground, eris-Kyra's voice sounded "Class Dismissed. but b4 u go, remember the Festival is tonight, and i demand that each of you make something (by hand or magic) to present." scattered murmurings started as the students went. Celie made to climb up her group tree to set down her wood block, but when she got there she found someone unfamiliar waiting there. the stranger didnt introduce himself, he just said stiffly "i just wanted to tell u that its your group's turn for guard." "oh."Celie mumbled wondering which treegroup he was from. probably Maple. they live all the way on the other side of the forest, which would explain why i never saw him before she thought. while Celie was lost in her thoughts, Xana showed up. "hey Celie, who was that?" "oh, he came to say that it was our turn." Celie replied. she turned her head to ask the stanger, "right....?" she stopped. "Xana, where'd he go?" "hmph. he ran off when he saw me coming. funny, i dont remember seeing him at patrol gathering last night... strange... i dont remember seeing u there either." Xana mused. "there was a gathering last night?! i missed another one!" Celie sighed. ''do u think they'll kick me out of patrol?" "i doubt it. we need as much members as possible these days since the council wants us to cover the whole forest completely. the days are getting dangerous, Celie, with the wolves and everything else." Xana grunted. "what about covering the forest in the day?" Celie asked. "we dont need to worry about that, we just cover the forest during the night."
