Goddess bless me, I'll never come out of this alive. I must be going crazy as well, since I keep seeing a thorough picture of that rock in my mind. Such a pleasant way to go.
She started cursing Lord Wyldon, for he was the one who had made her take the way over the cliff to help control her fear of heights. Then she started cursing Neal for betraying her and saying in a roundabout way she was not able to take care of herself.
All the time, though, she began to see the elements in that rock and started constructing in her mind the way it would look if it were an easier grip. Now she was 10 yards away from her last hope, that ungraspable rock jutting out from the side of the cliff. To her immediate surprise, the rock was changing into the exact pattern she had made up for it in her mind. She reached out and caught it. She decided to try this trick in her mind again. She was probably dreaming, but it felt good, so she decided to keep playing along with it. She made it wider and sturdier, so she could stand on it. Then she made it grow taller until she easily hoisted herself over the side and up onto the cliff.
Neal was staring at her, and she pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She felt pain. Quietly, she asked Neal, "What was that?"
"I thought you might be able to answer that for me," he said.
Then, hesitantly, he added that he might know what it was.
"Well, don't keep me waiting. What do you think it is?"
"It's called 'element magic'. You can change the actual elements of non-living things, like your rock down there. It was dismissed as a fairy tale, like wild magic. Numair taught me a little bit about this magic, but, if anyone, he should be able to teach you."
Kel shivered. "I don't like it. Me? Have magic? That's like asking a rabbit if it has horns like a buffalo. Besides, I don't know if I can control this-this element magic, like you called it."
"Well, I'll help as much as I can, but for now, why don't we go down to the city so we can get off this awful cliff," he replied.
"I'll vote for that," Kel said, still dazed from the magic.
Although she would never admit it, she was afraid of this magic that drained her so. Come on, Kel, get a grip. Of course you can control this magic, she thought. I am a lake on a windless day, and this magic will be like a cloud protecting me from a breeze. Yes, that's how it will be.
She trotted to catch up with Neal, yelling to be heard.
"So you think Numair can help me with this?" she panted.
"Of course. He specializes in rare magic. We can talk to him later about it."
He gratefully sunk to his knees and sat down on a bench.
"Come on. It's still a long way to the market."
Neal glared up at her. "My legs are not a strong as yours, O queen of mountain climbers."
"Weakling." She continued to the city, trying not to think what might happen if something happened with her magic before she reached Numair.
Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I need more reviews for how my story's going! Send in your reviews or I might just let Kel's magic eat her up!
