Hunting the Wind [Megumi]

[󠀐󠀐󠀐󠀐Y]

The shaman procured a grand sculpture of stone from the side of the cliff. It was a huge thing, one must say, and the cliff all but crumbled after its construction. The elemental swayed the girl slightly as the thing was created, as if pondering what it saw. "I see what you suggest, Shaman. You do have some strength stemming from the elements alone. But, this sculpture, even though it is of earth would easily be destroyed if we were to fight. Look." And without a word, the air elemental heaved as if breathing, and sent forth one and then another burst of spiraling wind, which took the form of two drill-blades, which drilled holes in the torso of the sentinel, and left it to collapse to the ground.

"And, I can feel that this technique exhausts you. It is a powerful technique, but you will need far greater if you are seeking to mediate the elemental planes. Air, earth, fire, water and lightning will be bound only by the strong, listen only to the words of the mighty. You need more power than you seem to even understand, if you want to do as you say..."

And just when she thought she had impressed the air elemental it took her for another turn. Takius felt a strong power hit the stone version of herself as it started to break apart. She would move to jump down the earth creature to it's hand. From there she would form another string of hand signs and a pillar would fly out of the ground towards here. Takius would then jump from the hand to the pillar which stood at 12 meters tall. Once landing on the pillar she would turn to face the elemental.

"Then help me..." the shaman would get down on one knee again. "You say that I need to be strong to work with the elements? Teach me how to be strong with the elements, with your element! What is your price? I will do anything?" She would look at the elemental with determination in her eye, she felt slightly defeated on the inside but she couldn't show weakness to this creature.

The elemental would blow slightly through the girl's hair and gear as he dropped down on her knee and made her request. It's stormy presence would pulse and throb gently, moving about as if uncertain about the proper reaction to things it heard. "You wish to understand my element? I will show you the air." Without further warning, the elemental would scoop up the shaman, and fly up into the air as fast as it was capable. Within a few moments, the pair would be nearly a kilometer above the ground, and the elemental would release hold of the girl, only to catch her momentarily after. After a few iterations of this catch and release, the elemental would create a platform of wind beneath the girl, feeling almost like solid ground beneath her feet.

The elemental's swirling body would then drift approximately 15 meters away. "Come, embrace the air. You must jump into my arms. The power of the wind will allow you, if you have any potential at all."
