It was a beautiful morning in the land of thunder - Sun was rising , and there was a light breeze to accompany the day.
The previous day , the twins decided they had to start training harder in order to get  stronger and even though they hated waking up early in the morning especially in the weekends, there was no shortcut to success , so woke up they did.
As they opened the window in their room, theyd immediatly notice the perfect weather outside and thought " Cant be a coincidence we decided to train in the morning and this fantastic weather shows up " They were already fused together as they got used to sleep in that form since childhood... " no time to waste then!"

As soon as they were done eating breakfast , theyd dress up and rush out the house with a destination already in mind knowing what they would try to learn.
A childhood friend of theirs that used to always play with them , was a sand user. He would be able to make the most amazing sand statues as they played together... good times.

"Ok so since we are gonna try and learn how to control the sand we must head torwards the beach!" As they ran torward their destination , theyd look at their surrounding always keeping a vigil eye - there is no such thing as too careful.

They were really exited to get down to training - so much so that they even dreamed of it while sleeping -  their main reason for learning this release wasnt to make sand statues to play with - they were kids no longer - instead they carefully thought about its possible uses in combat and how they could take advantage of it .

Sand was a very peculiar skill as it could be used for both defense and offense, excelling in the first through a sand shield - that was their final goal ... but for now they had to learn the basics, step by step.

As they finally arrived at the beach theyd immediatly sit down surrounded by sand and shells  with the ocean facing them and a couple seagulls flying around.. a very relaxing scenery indeed but they didnt go all the way to the beach just for a little tan... it was time to get to work.

After taking a deep breath theyd start meditating, placing both hands on either legs - palms wide open, trying to get in touch with their chakra aswell as thinking on how they would approach their training.

Sand was a combination of wind and earth releases and luckily they had already trained those with his father so step one was completed.. now they had to think of a way to combine the two.

The deeper the meditation state was the more they would get in touch with their chakra - they wanted to get in touch with their wind and earth chakra specifically.
"Just like this sis!" Calynn thought as they were concentrating - as they felt ready their right hand would lift from their leg facing the sea and by focusing their wind chakra into it it appeared. So far so good.
The same thing they did for the left hand however this time they had to use the earth chakra... using 1 type of chakra at a time is a thing but using two at once was something they never did.
It was hard, just trying to summon it was challenging - so much that they had to stop just to breathe.

As they caught their breath they would exale slowly as to relax their body..they never thought it would be easy - they were ready to face any and all problems that would present in front of them.

As they calmed completly they would try again ... "first wind then earth" as they tought it, it would appear - the right hand showing the wind element while the left still nothing.

They were clearly doing something wrong, but what? as they were thinking theyd lay down looking at the sky with their right hand up as if trying to reach it.
"perhaps we need to use more chakra?" Caela said "or maybe its the order?" Calynn answered.

It was time to try again, they were not there to look at the sky after all - they wanted to get stronger , they wanted to show the world that they were special so as they got back in the meditation position theyd focus once more inside themselves.

As their right hand began to lift so did their left - this time however they would use more chakra on both hands starting with their right focusing first on the wind element and right after on the earth one.

The wind showed just like before , slightly stronger due to the higher amount of chakra they decided to use. something was happening with their left hand however..perhaps the chakra amount was the answer? they still were not able to show their earth element like they did with the wind so something was still missing but they were definetly on the right path.

It was no easy task to summon two elements at once, and it was tiring as their chakra drained little by little with each try.
"Ok so something changed this time - the amount of chakra definetly helped, how about we try with even more this time?" Caela suggested to her sister "lets do just that" Calynn answered.

"here we go" first wind then earth but with even more chakra than before the elements were manifesting way too quickly. As they summoned both elements at once they immediatly felt something was wrong..the amount of chakra they put in this time was way too much for them to handle and as they were concentrating their hands started to tremble aswell as slightly hurt.

As soon as their hands started to shake and hurt they stopped. "definetly not like this." they thought while smiling at their failure. "next time we will get it just right!" - they could feel they were close at the very least close to summoning both elements at once - the trick stood in the chakra amount. They were happy, tired but happy.

Before trying again they decided it was time for a walk, as they were reminiscing they found themselves walking near the water , their feet wet and covered in the golden sand of the beach.

After a couple minutes of walking they found a rock big enough for them to use as support for their back while meditating. They had no doubt that this time they would succeed in their first part of the training.

Once more in the meditating position - they knew just what to do - first right then left the elements immediatly materialized , but this time they were stable. it was a success. The twins were ecstatic and as they smiled they looked at their hands with pride. Both wind and earth were showing just like they commanded.

"Ok so now what?" Calynn said - "how about joining hands?" As Caela thought that their hands were closing in on eachother - the elements almost touching.
It was a feeling they never experienced before, completly different than what a single element felt like - compared to their first attempts this time it didnt just feel right , it felt powerful - but it was only for a brief instant as their excitement threw off their concentration the chakra quickly dissipated leaving them tired once more.

Another obstacle presented before the twins - while the first challange of combining the elements was completed , this time they had to maintain the elements fused together focusing on their hands with all their concentration - they couldnt get distracted - not now that they were closing in on their objective.

They now knew exactly how much chakra was needed to reach that second stage, so as if they had been doing it their whole life they began to lift their hands with certainty releasing just the right amount of chakra needed for both elements to show and to be stable ...and as their hands were closing in one more time - this time their attention was focused completly on this process.

Once joined, their hands started to glow showing a mixture of colors from both elements , slowly but surely turning into a completly new one resembling that of the sand. This process was draining and while their process felt right atleast at the beginning it was as if something else was missing, but they already had an idea.

As time passed - the twins were so focused that they didnt really notice it was almost noon. As they released their hands due to the fatigue the newly formed color disappeared as if it was never there. The sound of the waves that were once very calm in the first morning - now would show themselves hitting the sand stronger than before as the wind increased.

The sun was still high and very few clouds could be seen in the sky - the breeze that was once light became slightly stronger and just as they let their hands fall on their legs a gust of wind would hit the sisters making their now even longer hair due to the fusion messy.

Even though they were starting to get tired they felt good - training in the sun and feeling as if they were going in the right direction gave them a peaceful sensation and as they exhaled it was as if if they could push the fatigue out of their body. As the wind settled down a thought came through their mind - it was a memory, a memory of their father.

They often trained in the beach with his father while their wolf observed them as if watching over them. They could hear his father yell at them "No slacking!" - "Calynn keep your hands just below your chin, and Caela please take this more seriously!" They missed him very much.

As their sadness started to grow little by little as they were going through memory lane, to prevent that they shifted their focus on something different. they were wondering where their wolf was and what he was doing. They knew how much he liked digging and the beach was the perfect place for that. As soon as they thought that they would hear barking in the distance. A black figure was moving torwards them and a furry one at that.

"Talk about the devil" they thought. Geld was running over towards them as if he knew that even just for a second they felt sad and he had to remedy that.

As Geld reached his masters they would stand up welcoming him with open arms - patting him on the head. "We were just thinking about you Geld"
After a brief reunion geld would quickly sit next to them as if he wanted to see what they were up to.

"We are gonna show you something new today buddy, look what we learned so far."
As they sat down they would focus their chakra, once again, through their hands and joining  them reaching that last stage they were in before.
As their elements started to fuse the sand color appeared emitting through their hands - they knew they had to try and mantain this state as long as possible. As their focus began to increase they could feel the chakra in their hands turning into something different , molding even better than before.
Compared to their previous attempt they were using even more chakra than before as they realized the various stages needed different amounts to be accessed. They were making progress.

The longer they maintained this state, the better they got at. They were concentrating so much that it was as if all the sounds that were previously all around them ceased to exist. There was only one thing in their mind "we can do this!". After a couple of minutes of this, they were covered in sweat some because of the fatigue and some due to the sun that was even more hot than before.
They had to separate their hands as they couldnt maintain that state any longer and as they leaned back a little bit placing their hands on the sand - wide on the sides just right behind their back they could feel it, something had changed.

It must've been due to the chakra residue not being completly dissipated, but they could feel the sand as they never did before. it was as if it became something completly different to them , not just something on the ground but a new resource - they could feel its presence , its meaning ... its power.

Something clicked in their brain, and they immediatly tought "what if ..." but they had to rest - overtraining never led to anything good but injuries that would then delay their shedule and put their goal further and further and that was the last thing they wanted. Resting is also a part of training after all.

So they took this occasion to stand up and walk a little more but this time splitting from their fused version. The moment they did, their hair would get immediatly shorter, and their once light-purple eyes would turn back to their original colors. Geld was overjoyed at the sight of both his masters for he could tell they were having fun. They had this smirk on their faces - they didnt mind training, not when they were making so much progress .

As they were walking , all three together side by side , sisters hand in hand, a sound made its appearance. Their stomach were growling. "Seems like its time to head back home and eat sis!"  laughing right after.
As her sister nodded they would head back on the road ready for a tasty and well deserved meal.

As they reached their village , walking past other people's houses and specifically next to a friend of theirs theyd notice he was missing. "He must be at the market" Calynn said to her sister "i guess we will tell him about our progress later". Entering their humble house ,Geld would instantly walk towards the kitchen , he knew what was about to happen. It was time for them to relax for a couple hours restoring the chakra they had previously used and filling their bellies while talking about more training and possible ways they could improve and better understand the technique they were trying to learn.

Time passed by very quickly but not fast enough for they wanted to head back to the beach, they knew they had to rest but they wanted to train as quickly as possible, they were hungry but this time for power. "I think its time Caly, i cant wait anymore!" Caela said with a very impatient voice. "Then what are you waiting for?" Said her sister while smiling.

As they headed towards the door Geld immediatly got up and started to follow, he didnt wanna miss this chance to get out of the house and look at them training, perhaps even dig a little. Once out they would fuse together and started rushing towards the beach screaming "catch up Geld!" - faster than before they got to their designated location in the blink of an eye ready for more.

They went back to where they found that big rock and sat near it once again going into meditation almost instantly. As they lifted their hands the chakra from both wind and earth was already being gathered and very quickly they joined hands making the sand color appear . however this time , rested and focused more than ever they noticed little bits of sand moving around them as if responding to their call - just like they felt before , the sand wasnt just an inanimate object - now it had life, or it was better to say it always had it they just never noticed.

With their hands still together, they decided to not just focus on their chakra but also on the sand all around them. They could feel the difference from when they were first learning the technique, the sand was responding to them and it felt good. They were not completly satisfied with their progress just yet - they didnt feel quite at that point where one could say " i got it". They had to keep training just a little bit more.

This time, however, while still having their hands joined together and focusing on the sand around them simultaneously as their hands - they started to stand up. they knew that if they had to fight an opponent there was no time to meditate and sit around while focusing. they had to completly master the technique and they had to be able to utilize it in all situations without a shred of doubt.

They started running , with their dog on their side - hands still joined and the sand around them shifting as if responding to their call, it was harder than before - moving and focusing definetly was a necessary step towards mastery, so even though they could feel their chakra draining at a faster rate they had to keep going .

After a couple of minutes of constant running and focusing they were exhausted - they had to take a break and as they released their hands they fell on the sand now more known to them than ever before. While laying down catching their breath they would look at geld as he was still running and it seemed as if was saying "what , are you tired already?".
As his masters were resting he still had plenty of energy to dig  but then again he always had energy to dig some more, an obsession of his. As they were admiring their dog's performance with the sand , without getting up, they would focus their chakra through their hands, without joining them this time , directly into the sand.

They could feel its every movement, the wind blowing on it , their dog moving it and digging through it aswell as their chakra being infused in it. with that feeling still fresh they once again joined hands and started running. they needed to keep the training up if they wanted to be able to use it at  any time. They were almost done.

While running, they would shift their focus not to just their hands but to the whole body, feeling the sand below their feet , on their face , on their hands. They could even feel it being transported in the air by the wind, it was wonderful.
Sprinting and jumping around trying to experiment with different situations, they wanted to  make sure they imprinted that feeling in their soul,it felt as if they just gained a new ally.

Happy as never before,they now could mantain the necessary focus in any situation - and on all sorts of ground as long as the sand was near them they could feel it, they knew that thanks to this newly acquired  skill they could learn so much more and they could develop it into so much more. they were ecstatic at the idea, as if they unlocked a big gate that was previously shut for them.. now they could see beyond it , go through it whenever they pleased.

They also knew this was just the beginning ,however exiting it was they still had plenty of things to learn and do and many obstacles to surpass, they still had to test this release with an actual active skill but that was for another day.
Whistling to get their dog's attention they wanted to head back home just in time for some more rest, but this time going home with the knowledge of their progress felt completly different , they felt satisfied .

As they went inside, the twins would quickly separate from eachother one heading towards the sofa while the other heading towards the bathroom as she felt her hair got messy due to the sand. As she was finished cleaning herself up, Caela joined her sister on the sofa laying on it with her head on her hips. as she looked up she saw her sister already asleep and after a quick chuckle shed think - "good night sis".
Later on after a well deserved rest and perhaps a couple of snacks for both them  and their dog they knew they would head back to the beach as the day was not over yet , they had more energy left in them. Now that they could feel the sand they started to wonder at its possible applications and what they could learn next aswell as improve what they just learned. Their hunger for knowledge was deep, rooted in them by their father, they wanted to learn alot more.
