Reviewing the basics seemed to make things easier. All of these textbooks had the same format so the young elementalist knew what was the easiest path, at least to her brain, to learning these languages. Words like good-bye and welcome were next to learn on her list, like always.. The words we are looking at here at antio sas or goodbye and kalos IRTHATE or welcome. The young linguist started to read out loud.

"antioooos ssssaaaass" It felt quite weird on her tongue. Almost as if she was speaking to a snake the way she had to hold out some letters and let it lift. The language was also unique as it had words from the common language become two or more words in the Auran tongue. For example, "kalooosss IE-THAA-TEE" was the word 'welcome' in common but to someone who didn't understand the language there would be no way of translating that into one word. The language lifts and divides the words, blowing them apart and making them almost nothing.

One thing that was nice, the only thing nice about the Auran tongue so far, was the word for air. The word for air or Aéras was very similar to air, or at least enough that it could be translated. The teen would try to pronounce it "Aéraasss or air." However, the element may respond to air but it controls wind or ánemos. This language, above any other elemental language had a lot of accent marks to note. Takius decided to switch to the written word for the time being to grasp this before moving on in speaking the language.

'Come on I can do this, I can do this!' The task, to be fair, was incredibly difficult. With pencil in hand all that could be heard was the scratching of the pencil against the paper. Every now and then Takius would look back to the Auran text for reference and different skill checks and challenges to accomplish went it comes to writing Auran.

When writing in Auran the thickness of the pencil on the paper can effect how the letter is received by the reader. A neutral tone should be a medium-light thickness and the letters should always be written with a break somewhere in them. For example, an 'A' doesn't connect on the top, just so slightly so it is noticeable but can see be defined as an 'A'. Sorrow should be very light as if it was disappearing while anger should have added pressure while writing, making the lead thick and darker.

Time passes by as the crowd around the clearing changed out, lunch had passed making the clearing more open. Takius had been writing and working on the written word for a while now and she think she had gotten it. She had just completed the test that worked for Ignan, writing the shaman's creed. She read it aloud in broken Auran. "Taa stoo-iiich-eíaaa eeeí-na-iiii chaotiká kai aaaaf-ín-ooon-taaaai sti diáthesí toooousssss, orgónoun o énas ton állon se atéleioti protarchikí manía."

She was getting better but it wasn't all there. It should of sounded like Ta stoicheía eínai chaotiká kai afínontai sti diáthesí tous, orgónoun o énas ton állon se atéleioti protarchikí manía. or in common, The elements are chaotic, and left to their own devices, they rage against one another in unending primal fury. The shaman's creed.

"This language is actually a nice break when speaking it compared to Ignan. I can actually breathe when speaking it." With Ignan it was fast and almost nonstop. Auran on the other hand required a slower rhythm to it and was so breathy that it allowed her to breathe during longer phrases, a luxury she didn't have with Ignan.

As she is nearing the end of the text book Takius knew she was close to gaining all the knowledge possible from the book. At this point she would usually start translating justu into Auran but she didn't know any wind element justu, just that she could bend her chakra into that style. However, she should be prepared if the air elemental isn't friendly to her. Her earth style justu were great and it was the natural defense against air. She could use earth style techniques in Auran to show the elemental she had strength. In Auran earth was gi very simple.

Her most powerful technique in the earth style was one of her hidden trump cards, the great lash clone. Hopefully if it came to it there would be enough earth around for her to form the titan. Earth style was Gíino styl changing gi to Gíino to say that it isn't the world but rather the elemental style. Great lash clone all together was Exairetikó klóno vlefarídon The young shaman would smile and say "Gíino style: Exairetikó klóno vlefarídon". She obviously didn't form the hand signs so no monster mountain would appear in the clearing. Her Auran was starting to feel natural, the accent almost down. She would continue to read the text over again to make sure she was gathering every little piece of information for the meeting.

The clock ticked on in the shaman's brain as she knew her time grew short. She felt like she was gaining the knowledge of this language slower then ever. She had to speed thing up. With this she formed a flurry of hand sign. Out of the mist a clone appeared, and nodded to her. The best way to feel comfortable talking in a language and nailing the accent is simple. It is talking to another person in that language, using role play scenarios. While Takius thought role play was stupid in all forms, she had no choice but to try.

She would start with "Alright, you are going to be an air elemental.. or at least try. I will play myself and we will pretend we are meeting with the first time." Takius would clear her throat and pretend that she was seeing the clone for the first time. She would get down on one knee, placing her staff on the ground and rising back up. "Ómorfo stoicheío aéra" O great air elemental she would start, pause for a minute, going over the next words in her head/ "Eímai edó gia na sas kalosoríso sto dikó mas..." her airy words would stop mid breathe "epípedo"

The mist clone would respond immediately "Lígo anthrópino, giatí eísai aftós pou me chairetás?" Takius would freeze 'Wow, this mist clone really is not only processing my information but working through the acting processes as well.' She would snap out of her thought and respond "Eímai o samános tis omíchlis. Edó eínai diplomátis gia to aeropláno mas." Takius really thought she had a handle on higher verbal communication.

Takius grew tired of talking with mist clone, with this she formed a single handsign and it vanished back into the mist from which it came. With this she decided to move on to another training method. She had studied the textbook on Auran pretty thoroughly and there is only small details should could gain from it. The conversations with the Mist clone, while helpful, became dull and hard to continue on. With this she would move on to practicing her accent.

The accent of Auran and the air creatures was easy to phone in but the subtle things are what call you out as a foreigner and not a local. At first the accent sounds easy to master. Just make your voice light, like a fairy or a creature in flight. It should be like you are floating once your voice reaches that spot it should just hang there. However, you need more then just that to fit in with the locals of the Air Planes.

The first thing that give you away is if you just keep the floating in your voice. While the language does float it, like all air creatures goes up and down. When angry the language should rush like a tornado, when sad it should start in that floating place but drop down, like a bird in descent. When excited or eager the language should flow faster, not just floating put pushing, flying.

Finally! The shaman felt significantly better with the language. She was getting close and it was the final count down to the mission. She originally planned to go home and prepare but she will need to run straight for the gate. This was a once in a life time opportunity and she couldn't miss it. She had three languages under her belt, she studied with Iko and at university, this was her specialty she could do this.

She had this trouble getting the final steps of Aquan as well. So she went back to the textbook. The answers were always in the books. The last chapters were special, and fully in the language of the book, this time it being Auran. The chapter she decided to read was about encountering an air elemental. The highest and most pure form of air itself. Like any other elementals, simple sentences with basic structure are key. While the elementals aren't the most intelligent beings they can call a bluff. So it is imperative to keep a perfect accent.

The Shaman's tongue flowed like a gust of wind blowing through the trees, she felt the intention of the text and used it well. She felt like at least she could pass for a native tongue when meeting with this elemental. She may have not mastered the language but talking to Air Elemental could do the trick. The language felt free and it felt good.
