"Now, you try..." Mia said with a calm and collected yet so intimidating at once. "o...okay...How do I-" Gara was cut off, Mia was alright floating behind her, holding her arms and lifting them up at a tree. "All you have to do it feel the spiritual energy moving throughout your body, and focus it into one place." Mia said iriitated. Gara felt a hot feeling in her body, and an even hotter feeling on her face. was she...blushing?! No! No Way! Her blush became deeper and deeper as Mia slowly moved her hands from her waist and slowly to the palm of her hand, locking hands with her. "Do you feel it? The Spiritual energy?" Mia asked, she had her eyes closed so she was unable to see Gara's flustered expression. "I-I feel something alright..." Gara answered hesitently, slightly turning her head to look at her. Mia smiled softly, sensing the nervousness in Gara's voice. "Good. Now, focus that energy on the tree. Picture it flowing out of your hands and into the tree, like a river!" Mia instructed, her grip on Gara's hand tightening slightly. Gara closed her eyes, taking a deep breath and trying to calm her racing heart. She concentrated on the energy within her, feeling it flowing through her veins like a warm current. Slowly, she lifted her hands towards the tree and concentrated on the image of the energy flowing out of her palms and into the tree. She felt a tingling sensation in her fingertips, and suddenly, a small spark of light appeared between her palms. Mia's eyes flew open, and she let go of Gara's hand. "That's it, you're doing it!" she exclaimed, watching as the spark of light grew brighter and began to envelop the tree. Gara's eyes widened in amazement, and she felt a rush of a feeling she had never felt before. excitement and pride at what she had just accomplished. Mia smiled at her, and Gara could see the admiration in her eyes. "You're a natural," she said, placing a hand on Gara's shoulder. "With a little more practice, you'll be able to control your spiritual energy like a pro." Gara felt a surge of confidence at Mia's words, and she looked back at her, blushing from embarrassment. "Thanks, I guess..." Mia chuckled, and the two of them stood there for a moment, watching as the tree continued to glow with the light of Gara's energy. Finally, Mia turned to her and said, "Now, let's see what else you can do."
