At lake Shinkun

Alu gave a long sigh and sat on a tree stump. "A vampire and demon eh who would of guessed" thought Alu as she grabbed a few pebbles from beneath her. "Why couldn't it be another vampire and demon? Why me?" She asked herself as she skipped a pebble across the lake. Alu continued to skip pebbles when someone appeared beside her.

"What she ever do to you?" Alu looked to see who had spoken. Aeon. Alu figured he was talking about Fayra with the incident earlier.

"She didn't do nothing, Fayra just doesn't under-"

"Whoa easy I was talking about the lake" said Aeon smiling.

"Oh" said Alu a little embarrassed "nothing I was just trying to keep myself busy so I wouldn't think."

"Really? I usually come here so I can think."

"Yeah well you probably don't have problems like mine."

"Well your probably right." agreed Aeon.

"Aeon I don't know what im going to do" said Alu

"About what?"

"Everything, life you know?"

"What do you mean?"

Alus' ears twitched. "What do you want now?"

"Huh" Aeon said very confused.

"Well at least I know you have good hearing." said Silia as she walked out of the shadows.

"Hmpf, like I said before what do you want now?"

"Hey Alu who is she?" asked Aeon.

"Aeon! My my how you have grown, so Alu is he your boyfriend now?" Asked Silia.

Aeon and Alu both looked down and blushed.

"No he's not" said Alu a little coldly and sadly at the same time.

"Oh, well im sorry, but Aeon my name is Silia." said Silia as she introduced herself.

"Um how does she know my name Alu?" whispered Aeon.

Alu mentally laughed at how she basically asked the same thing.

"She's my guardian or whatever so she knows who I've hanged or hang out with I guess" explained Alu.

"I see, but if she's your guardian why does she show up now?" asked Aeon.

"Can't really explain it, ask her" said Alu.

"Well" said Aeon as he looked at Silia impatiently.

Silia spent about 5 minutes explaining to Aeon of what her duties were and so on. As she said in conclusion.

"Now I have to train her."

"What? Wait you never said anything about training." said Alu.

"Well you didn't expect to know how to use your powers immediately did you?" asked Silia.

"No but-"

"No buts lets get to it missy" said Silia very demanding. After Alus' huffing and puffing Alu finally agreed and Aeon left so they could train in peace.

The training!

Silia got in her serious mode ready to give directions. "Ok Alu first I want you to close your eyes and relax."said Silia.

Alu did as Silia said as soon as Alu was relaxed she said ok.

"Ok do you remember the tree in front of you?"

"Yeah"

"Well I want you to imagine it in your head only the tree."

"Ok?" said Alu waiting for her next instructions.

"I now want you to imagine yourself in front of the tree as you are now"

Alu didn't know where Silia was going with all this but she did as she said.

"Now imagine you disappearing from the spot your at now and reappearing next to the tree" instructed Silia. "After you've done that open your eyes."

Alu opened her eyes looking blankly at Silia.

"Ok now the real training" said Silia.

"The real training?" asked Alu confused.

"You have to do what you imagined."

"That doesn't seem so hard" said Alu about to close her eyes.

"No, without closing your eyes"

"Ok whatever you say"

Alu focused on the tree for minutes that felt like hours. But she didn't move an inch anywhere.

"I don't get it, I'm not moving." said Alu frustrated.

"Not as easy as it seemed huh?" said Silia smirking. "Just imagine yourself there at the tree with your eyes open, like daydreaming."

Alu tried again concentrating with all her heart and power when she felt a pull like her body just moved really fast. She looked at the tree, she was closer! But not next to the tree.

Good next time let's get even closer" said Silia.

"Ok" said Alu with new determination.

Hours passed. As each hour passed she made more progress, little by little. But it was still progress. Until...

"I DID IT!" shouted Alu happily as she jumped by the tree.

"Great! Now get rest for tomorrow." said Silia

"Tomorrow?"

"We're not finished yet Alu."

Just as Alu thought she was getting somewhere and this was coming to an end. She had to wake up to more training. Alu sighed and went home to rest.
