She then perked up. "However, if the technique has come back to our family if this legend is true, then that makes you possibly a rightful heir. Now what that means is up to you on how you use this, however that does not mean you are going to skip physical training, if anything, you need to train harder, your Ki Core will gather much attention once you turn 13 from the 'Academy'. Before your physical training begins, would you like to try to create with Ki Manipulation?"
Zarue looked at his mom in shock, as Regen started laughing. "You know, I think that is a wonderful idea Vetiol! Zarue, I have a tip for you, use Ki Sense to find a spot that is rich in Ki, and use that to help create a summon."
Vetiol nodded in agreement as Zarue closed his eyes and started using his Ki sense, immediately he was attracted to a vast amount of ki that he hadnt sensed before and when he turned his head where it was he was astonished! The ironwood tree Ki had attached to the iron wood, but the stump had another tree made of Ki that was immensely massive compared to the ironwood tree. There was a warmth emanating from the tree as he looked upon it, standing up, he walked to the ironwood stump, his eyes still closed, As he stopped at the base of this tree, an emotion came from it, anticipation, nervousness? Realizing that the tree was more alive than the others he gently bowed to it and spoke aloud.
"There is no need to fear me, I am interested in you as much as you are interested in me. I can tell you are sentient, however if I open my eyes I will not be able to see you. So I would assume you are what is called a Ki essence, and with how large you are, is it ok for me to say that you are an Ironwood Tree Lord?" Zarue asked quizzically.
At this point a few things happened.
One, Regen and Vetiol gasped in surprise that Zarue could see and tell what the Ki essence was. Making Regen laugh and say I knew it! While Vetiol shushed her wife.
Second, a warmth and hint of possible humor came from the essence as if to validate and confirm what Zarue said.
Third, Zarue felt that he had opened something within his mind that he did not comprehend just yet, but he had a feeling it was something awesome.
"I am very pleased to meet you Ironwood Tree Lord. If you are interested, I am just figuring out what this technique is, but would you like to attempt to become a summon of mine?" Zarue politely asked and also stated that it would be his first time doing this.
The Ironwood Tree Lord radiated pride and joy, as if this question was the best thing to have ever been offered to it.
Nodding in understanding that the Ironwood Tree Lord was more than happy to accept, Zarue turned and sat crossed legged on the ground in front of the stump, his back touching it as he sat in a meditative state..
Excited in what they just saw transpire, Regen and Vetiol ran over and sat in front of Zarue the same way to give him support.
"Now Zarue, this is all up to you, we are here to reassure that you are not alone, but this could be a very long process. I would suggest focusing on the Ki of the Ironwood Tree Lord, like you did with the ironwood tree, from there I would say go with your instinct. We will be here in silence supporting you sweetie." Vetiol said, guiding Zarue.
Nodding to his moms in acknowledgement of support that they are giving, Zarue took deep focused breaths, focusing on the Ironwood Tree Lord. As he did this it felt as if the tree had reached out and placed small branches upon his shoulders in warmth, to help him focus on its energy. After many deep breaths and focusing on the Ironwood Tree Lord, he felt the Ki of the Lord start to flow into him. As this was happening it dawned on Zarue that a Ki Core would need to form first to allow the entity to become a walking creature, lifting his hand straight out in front of him with palm facing out. He controlled the Ki of the Ironwood Tree Lord to go through his open palm and create and condense the Ki into a core. The energy felt like a cloud that needed a focal point like a vortex. Focusing on a vortex forming in his palm to create the core, he was able to see it through his Ki Sense. A small little swirl of energy in a translucent ball, becoming brighter green and dense with the energy.
Meanwhile in front of Zarue. Both of his moms, Regen and Vetiol watched as this vortex was being formed in front of them, causing them to look at each other in surprise at what was transpiring. It was easy to tell that the Ki of the Ironwood Tree Lord was so immense, that Zarue was able to figure out that a vortex core was needed to help the Ki Essence achieve a physical manifestation. What they could see though that Zarue could not because his eyes were closed was that the Ki was a rich green, almost in deep emerald color, also, streaks of silver would appear and disappear, as if they were lightning bolts. Different glows emanated from the outside of this orb core, once in awhile the silver bolts striking the center of the vortex, causing brilliant colors to show.
Then all of a sudden a blast of pressure flew out from the core, pushing Regen and Vetiol quite a few feet back while sitting, and in front of Zarue's hand was a head, rubbing against his hand, a massive smile on Zarue's face. A full grown adult fox was sitting there in front of him, tail wagging in the air happily. This fox was a stunning emerald green with cloud like vortex's at its feet and tip of its tail, and silver streaks like that of lightning across its fur!
