Chapter 8 - 8

" Ok. How do I do that ? "

" Try to focus your energy out of your body "

" Ok. Focus, I mean how hard can that be right ? "

" That's the spirit, now under the tree you go "

 

Avner sat under the tree and closed his eyes trying to concentrate but than opened one eye to look at his master 

" Uuuhhh….how exactly do I know I am doing it right ? "

" You will feel something like a flow of water running through your veins. That's energy " 

" Alright "

And he closed his eye again 

****

30 minutes later 

" It's not working, why is it not working ? "

Avner couldn't do it 

" That's because you have to relax, you need to calm down "

" I AM PERFECTLY CALM "

He reassured in a not so calm behavior 

" Close your eyes "

" Alright "

" Now let go of every thought "

" How do I do that ? "

" Concentrate on the sounds around you "

Avner tried to do just that. He could hear the birds, the wind, the nature surrounding him and Nephthys calming voice that was guiding him 

" Now try to calm your heart beats by inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth " 

" Did you calm down ? "

" Yes...." 

Nephthys sat facing him and took his hands into her own this action made Avner open his eyes 

" It's alright, now close your eyes "

she assured him and he complai 

" I will try to help you by giving your energy a push with my own energy "

" Alright "

The breeze, the fresh air, the birds chirping, the sun, the shadow of the tree that they were sitting under, the quietness and Nephthys holding his hands it was like they were the only two people on the earth it all made him feel like he hadn't felt in a while, it was all so stress-free, so peaceful. Soon after he felt something through his veins it was energy but it wasn't his, it was Nephthyses. Avner opened his eyes slowly and saw her infront of his eyes after looking at her like this it made him feel something that he couldn't describe, it wasn't something that made him feel all nervous it rather made him feel like if he were to let go of her hands he will never be able feel at peace. He felt like he had finally found home 

Nephthys opened her eyes as well 

" I never realized before but you have quite small pupils "

she remarked after seeing his eyes up close 

" Is that so ? "

Avner replied but he now knew what that feeling was thanks to her remark. It was, realization. He had finally realized it, what he was feeling 

On Nephthytis forehead then appeared a small emerald in the shape of a diamond 

" Try using your energy now, my energy will guide yours "

" Alright "

He was able to feel it. His own energy flowing through his veins along side with her energy 

 

it finally made it outside. His own energy 

and there it was between the two of them there was a small floating flame 

" Looks like your prime element is fire "

" Yeah….looks like it is…."

" Avner I already told you, I can´t train you " 

" But why not ? "

" I still have work to do, I haven't caught the serial killer yet "

" It's not like you are going to catch him in the few minutes your with me "

Avner tried to convince Miyeon to help him with his training 

" Do you even realize what you are saying right now ? Do you even know how many people have died ? "

" Oh come on it's not like they were good people to begin with and they are already dead,they wont come back to life if you leave now. I'm still alive so help me "

Miyeon couldn't help but sigh at his cousins ignorance 

" Why isn't Nephthys helping you, isn't she your master ? "

" Well….."

Avner was finding it hard to face Nephthys now that he knew how he felt about her 

" I can't believe this….she resigned, didn't she ? "

and right after letting out that sentence Miyeon started smacking Avner 

" Auw, auw, auw "

Avner could only cry in pain 

" Why are you smacking me ? " 

" What did you do ? Huh, What did you do that made her leave ? "

Miyeon never once stopped smacking Avner

" Do you even know how lucky you were to find a master that was actually able to help you " 

and he kept smacking 

" Auw,auw ,auw, auw " 

Avner than decided to escape from his cousins grip by taking a step back but Miyeon wasn't going to just let it be this time he stepped forward trying to reach Avner for a betting again 

" Wait! Wait! "

Avner tried to calm him down 

Miyeon already had his hand in the air ready to smack him again but than Avner added as fast as he could 

" SHE DIDN'T RESIGN ! "
