2 Abilities unseen (1/2)

”Concentrate on your form. No openings… good, good, now strike.

Elias swung his sword with practiced ease. He looked on as the blade cut through the air creating a wave into the surrounding area in front of him. As he recovered from the cut he heard crashes in front of him. He saw five trees now on the ground, cut at their bases.

”It seems I overdid it again huh.”

This was not the first time Elias ”Overdid it.” Ever since the first lessons Elias showed very inhuman abilities. No human without a beast connection could hope to even cut a single tree down like this. In fact what he did was completely superhuman. Jahrico, who has already seen great feats of strength by the young knight was still baffled by his abilities.

”Very good Elias, very good. Your form was perfect. You are becoming a fine swordsman. But it seems that is all for today.”

The man turned and headed for his hut. As Elias rested on a freshly cut stump he saw lights and smoke come out of their little house, and at one point his teacher cursed in pain. After a little time had passed he came out holding a handful of gems. Jahrico held out his free palm and two chairs and a table came into existence. He sat on one and told Elias to do the same.

”You know what these are correct, these are training gems. When a Drako focuses it's magic, it can create crystals from its elements, these are used to test the affinity of a person. Simply hold one, point it in a direction and say a word that comes to mind.”

He set the eight crystals on the table. Elias reached for a Blue crystal. He picked it up and it glowed.

”Ah a water affinity huh, I thought that would be yours. Please continue.”

As Elias thought of words he could use none seemed to be right. It seemed all the ones he chose had no meaning. Than one came to him, it seemed right, and so he used it.

”Will!”

After the word 'Will' was uttered the crystal seemed to shake. A torrent of water rushed out from the crystal and completely soaked the trees he was aiming at. Surprised by what happened Elias quickly sat the stone down. He saw his mentor standing with his jaw dropped low.

” Did I overdo it again?”

”My boy, that was the most spectacular display I have ever seen, in all my years I have not seen such a strong attack from a Gemstone Testing. You are talented my boy, truly talented, all thanks to me no doubt.”

Jahrico closed his eyes with a smug smile on his face, whispering things under his breath. Coming back to reality he sat back down and cleared his throat.
