" It is time for you to learn how to break your own shield "
Nephthys went back to teaching
" Me, but how ? can you do it ? "
" Yes I can "
" Then why are you not doing it "
" Because you have to do it on your own "
Avner was concerned
" You can do it, you are strong enough "
Nephthys was just speaking her mind of but to Avner these were lovely words of her trying to encourage him
" I will do it but I want you to be with me "
the two of them looked at each other for what felt like hours
" Alright "
Nephthys agreed and and held his hands, Avner was happy he could hold her hands but he was clueless aas to what he had to do
"So ... .what do I do now ? "
"....."
Nephthys just looked at him
" Are you serious right now ? "
" Well yes, I have never done this before you see…."
" Sigh ...but I did teach you, didn't I ? "
"..."
Avner was still clueless
" Did you even do your homework on energy flow ? "
" Yes…."
" Good then what was the answer to how to heal your own source of energy ? "
" What ? you want me to do that myself, that is very complex "
" You are going to do it, you have to. Don't you want to be able to experience your powers to its full potential ? Is that not the reason you have looked for a master to help you all this time ? "
"....."
Nephthys was right that's all he ever wanted ... .but something about this made him unsure. Nonetheless he decided to accept the challenge
" Now close your eyes, I will be here if it takes the wrong turn, don't worry "
Nephthys assured, holding onto his hands tightly
Avner closed his eyes and began
the wind, the birds, the trenches of the trees, he could hear the nature, Avners was getting calmer and calmer by the second, he concentrated some more and he was now able to hear Nephthyses heartbeats, hearing the rhythm of it he had never felt more at peace then right now. Avner was on the right path he was now able to hear his own heartbeats
" You are doing great, now look for your source of life "
Nephthys advised
even though his eyes were closed it was like he could see everything, things you can not see with the bare eyes, he was able to see the energy running thru his body, he followed the direction it was coming from and not long after he finally found it, he finally saw it….the shield that was blocking his powers it had a lot of cracks on it, thanks to Nephthys but it was still stable
" You found it, that's good now go in there "
Avner did just that, he went closer and closer and closer. The light was getting a lot brighter the closer he got and when he was inside of the shield it became black, it was dark, nothing could be seen it was like he was at the bottom of the ocean. Dark, cold and not knowing the dangers that were hidden in its depths
Then a sudden light appeared, it was getting closer and closer to Avner. It was weird, something like that should scare him but for some reason that small light made him feel warm and comfortable, strangely enough his fear was that the light was going to disappear rather then attack him
The light was now inches away from him, its brightness started to feign a little
Avner felt weird, there was a person behind that light and that person looked just like him but it wasn't him…..it was a woman, the woman smiled warmly at him
Even though it sounded absurd he knew deep down who this woman was….it was his mom
" Long time no see, Avner "
her voice….sounded just like a lullaby to his ears, Avner couldn't understand his feeling right now, his feelings were all over the place
he was happy but why did he want to cry….
the woman opened her arms for him and Avner went and hugged her and soon after fell to his knees pulling her with him, his legs gave up on him
Avner was crying in her arms and his mom even though had tried to be strong for him, she too had missed him a lot and could no longer hold herself back and tears ran down her cheeks

" Mira, I am getting married "
" What, when did that happen, who is that guy even "
" Rene….sigh….are you joking again ? "
Mira just couldn't believe her little sister was getting married when she never even seen that guy or knew of any guy that was around her at the time
" This time I really mean it "
" How did that even happen ? Wait ! "
that's when Mira realized something
" Was it, father ? was he the one to force you, because if so you know you don't have to do it, I will deal with him "
" Mira, no. I no longer want you to protect me, I want you to finally be able to live for yourself "
" What do you even mean, I am very happy with my situation right now "
" MIra stop "
Rene was getting angry and Mira didn't know why
" Do you think I don't know you are practically fathers dog "
" Watch your mouth "
Mira warned her
" And do you think I don't know….you are the way you are because of me…."
Rene had tears in her eyes
" Rene…."
