Yeah. I'm typing more, apparently. I had a lot of fun today, so, you know
how it goes. Domino effect.
Ron gazed out at the training blind ones. Pyro Alfa was tracing his to harness a blue flame. It was amusing, for Ron, to see their lips pinched in concentration. When they finally made a blue spark from the sunset colored flames, they jumped back in surprise and the entire thing would go out.
Briefly he wondered what would happen to them when they reached an age to become higher level Psi.
When you were 'Junior Psi', any Psi under the age of 17, you were trained to use Psi power, the odd element harnessing power of the human brain, until you could raise no more levels, like himself.
On that point, he drew the power symbols in his head. The simple eye- shaped mark on their foreheads and hats that told what rank you'd achieved.
The first was a simple 'blind' eye. Symbolizing someone who had only just been initiated.
The first actual level, 'one lash', what you gained when you could harness the power at will without strain. With this level you could begin to 'see'.
The second level, 'three lashes', you have mastered basic skills sufficiently, and you receive this rank.
The third level, 'Four lashes', had the three lashes above the eye, one below, and still no pupil. This level symbolized the beginning of mastery for intermediate techniques.
The fourth level, 'six lashes', five lashed above, one below, and still no pupil. Symbolized the Psi-child was now able to begin learning the basic techniques of a secondary sept.
The fifth level, 'eight lashes', five above, three below, and no pupil still. Holding the meaning that the Psi has reputable strength in both trained septs, and can now be considered to be a sept leader. Many Psi considered this to be the final level, because out of an entire Squadron of Psi, only one or two may ever go beyond it.
The sixth level, 'swirls', all of the above features, with only the addition of two swirl like marks to either side of the eye. Whomsoever reaches this level is to be a highly respected Psi, because the amount of training needed to attain the swirls is great. Many who were not satisfied at the fifth level, died trying to reach it.
The seventh level, 'sight'. Level of legend, for it had not been reached in over 300 years. The methods for attaining it are unknown, but only the few who'd ever reached it were allowed to lead other Psi into battle.
Ron was sixth level himself, and didn't have much hope of reaching the seventh. He doubted anyone ever would. It was lost to the Psi. He was fairly sure, anyway.
A cheer from the Aqua sept upset his thoughts. One of the blind ones had raised a level, and could now essentially 'see'. He smiled for the girl, leaping into her friend's arms. If he wasn't mistaken, the two never spoke outside of meetings.
Mainly because he was a muggle from a not-so-close town, and she was Slytherin.
Yes. I'm stopping there for now. Bug me some and I might type up more before the passing of a blue moon. Laterz.
