" You don't have to take it "
" Oh so you don't want me to have it "
" That's not it, I will look for a warmer one "
Nephthys put the scarf on one side of her hip and thigh-tend the ends in a knot on the other hip after that she just took her sword back and attached it to her hip as well
" I am a wind "
" Wind as in the prime element of your stone "
" Yes that is correct, but I also have fire as a sub-element so even though I may emis cold, I myself am not very cold "
" Oh I see "
" Today we are gonna find your prime element "
" Really ? "
" Yes "
" How are we gonna do that ? "
" There are five elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Wind and Thunder. Usually you will get to know your element the very moment you awaken because it will be the very first thing that will show of "
" So does that mean I am water since I broke your water-snake ? "
" No. Water may be one of your sub-elements but had to be the first to pop out of you to save you faster, considering you were surrounded only by water, or it may also be the prime element of the one blocking your powers in the first place "
" So does that mean the person that is blocking my powers tried to save me? But why ? "
" As I have told you before you have to figure that out on your own "
" You know, I have a feeling you know more about this situation than you let it show "
" That would not only be your situation but how I approach everything, there is no need for me to get involved in things that I shouldn't just because I know the answer to. This is something you have to do on your own "
" Alright fine, just show me how to find my prime element "
" You see the tree over there "
Nephthys pointed at the tree that was not too far away from where they were standing
" Yes "
" Go meditate under it "
" Ok. How do I do that ? "
" Try to focus your energy out of your body "
" of course. Focus, I mean how hard can that be right ? "
" That's the spirit, now under the tree you go "
Avner sat under the tree and closed his eyes trying to concentrate but than opened one eye to look at his master
" Uuuhhh….how exactly do I know I am doing it right ? "
" You will feel something like a flow of water running through your veins. That's energy "
" Alright "
And he closed his eye again
****
30 minutes later
" It's not working, why is it not working ? "
Avner couldn't do it
" That's because you have to relax, you need to calm down "
" I AM PERFECTLY CALM "
He reassured in a not so calm behavior
" Close your eyes "
" Alright "
" Now let go of every thought "
" How do I do that ? "
" Concentrate on the sounds around you "
Avner tried to do just that. He could hear the birds, the wind, the nature surrounding him and Nephthys calming voice that was guiding him
" Now try to calm your heart beats by inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth "
" Did you calm down ? "
" Yes...."
Nephthys sat facing him and took his hands into her own, this action made Avner open his eyes
" It's alright, now close your eyes "
she assured him and he comply
" I will try to help you by giving your energy a push with my own energy "
" Alright "
The breeze, the fresh air, the birds chirping, the sun, the shadow of the tree that they were sitting under, the quietness and Nephthys holding his hands it was like they were the only two people on the earth, it all made him feel like he hadn't felt in a while, it was all so stress-free, so peaceful. Soon after he felt something through his veins it was energy but it wasn't his, it was Nephthyses. Avner opened his eyes slowly and saw her in front of his eyes after looking at her like this it made him feel something that he couldn't describe, it wasn't something that made him feel all nervous it rather made him feel like if he were to let go of her hands he will never be able feel at peace. He felt like he had finally found home
Nephthys opened her eyes as well
" I never realized before but you have quite small pupils "
she remarked after seeing his eyes up close
" Is that so ? "
Avner replied but he now knew what that feeling was thanks to her remark. It was, realization. He had finally realized it, what he was feeling
On Nephthytis forehead then appeared a small emerald in the shape of a diamond
" Try using your energy now, my energy will guide yours "
" Alright "
