The crisp spring morning was cold to Alison in the Coupe.
"God, it's so cold in here. How are you guys not cold?" Alison asked.
"It's the clothes were wearing, we'll get Ghastly to make you some. Here." Valkyrie handed her coat to Alison who snuggled in the warmth until they got to the Sanctuary. Outside was Ghastly with his arms crossed.
"What were you three doing." Ghastly demanded.
"Alison was captured by Sanguine so we got her back from the Northern Necromancy Temple."
Ghastly's face lightened, "Oh, are you guys OK?" Alison stepped out from behind Valkyrie and showed her face.
"Oh, no. Lets get her to Nye." Alison's face grimaced at the thought of Nye. Nye was working on something when they walked in.
Ghastly cleared his throat to get Nye's attention, "Nye, have figured out how to get scars from Sanguine's razor yet?"
"Yes." Alison loosened up a little bit, "But the wound has to be at the most 1 hour old." Alison went rigid again.
"Can you at least look at her face?" Valkyrie asked.
"Yes, come here." Alison nervously walked to it and followed it to a table. It took some dirt and told Alison to hold it to her face. Skulduggery walked in and followed by Valkyrie.
"What does the dirt do?"
"It'll reduce the scar's appearance, but it's not going to fully disappear." Skulduggery answered.
Nye came back and handed Alison a small towel to take off the dirt.
"Thanks." Alison said. Nye nodded back and ushered them to leave.
"Is that normal? For it?" She wondered.
"Um, yeah. It is." Valkyrie couldn't believe her answer either.
Skulduggery checked his phone for a text, "I have to go, bye." He lightly pecked Valkyrie and hurried off.
"How long have you two been together?"
"Since I was 18 or so. Why?"
"Just curious."
"Hey, what's the worst or scariest dude you ever killed."
"A god."
"Oh, hell that is so awesome!"
"Hey, would you like to learn Elemental or Necromancy?"
"Uh, I think Necromancy."
"Perfect.", Valkyrie muttered, "When you use Necromancy you can only use it when you wear that ring, it's easy to learn and master, but-" Alison cut her off.
"Can I learn Adeptry, just one discipline?"
"Adeptry? Instead of elemental?"
"Yeah, please?" Alison begged.
"I guess so, what kind?"
"Shape shifting?" Valkyrie glared at Alison than have in.
"Fine! Vendetta might as well teach you then."
"Are you OK with that? I don't have to do."
"Lets get you basically trained in those 3 powers first than you can choose, OK?"
"Perfect."
A raven was flying above Alison than it landed on Valkyrie.
"Why is there a raven on you?"
"This raven is Vendetta." Valkyrie pointed out. The raven jumped up and quickly changed to Vendetta.
"Oh, god that is so cool."
"Hey, Vendetta? Can you teach Emera the basics of your adept discipline and Necromancy?"
Vendetta smiled wide and ushered Alison to follow. Rife randomly joined them along the way.
"Hey V." Rife called her.
"Hey, I'm going to teach Emera some moves, wanna' tag along?"
"sure."
They walked to an open field that had all 4 elements in one area.
"OK, for my shape shifting discipline, it took me years just change my face." Her face rippled to Rife's, "but Necromancy is easy, do you have the ring?"
Alison showed her hand, "Like this?"
Vendetta's face came back tomorrow, "Perfect OK. Look at your own shadow and focus and grabbing your arm."
"OK…?" Alison stared at her shadow for a while. She reached out her hand and "grabbed" her shadow's sleeve and tugged it. The shadow distorted and stretched out. "Like that?"
"perfect, try this." Vendetta whipped out a small tendril of shadows at Alison. Her arm was stretched out and stopped it. "that is so cool!"
"OK great. Shadows, when touching, create a bond, not a strong on, but a bond. Get it? Got it?…good."
"OK, elemental, air. Uh, see that leaf? Think of the air in between you two as connected. You're basically pushing one particle, that makes a chain reaction. Do you understand?" Alison nodded and her hand splayed. The leaf moved and lifted than shifted to the left than drifted back down.
"Cool!"
"It is, you got it. Bigger the object heavier it is… fire, right, uh, like a match to a stick, snap your fingers, try."
Alison vaguely understood what Vendetta talked about. She focused hard and snapped her fingers, but nothing happened.
"It's OK, you'll get it. Lets try water, I'm better with teaching it." Rife nodded in agreement. They walked over to a small pond.
"OK, water is a strong bond. You can pick up anything as long a it's supported by water. You half to influence it. That's all I got."
Alison spotted a pebble in the water. water is a bond thought Alison. She cocked her fingers and the pebble floated upwards to the surface.
"Awesome! Try this." Vendetta tossed water on Alison. All wet, Alison thought long and hard than cocked both of her hands and some of the water came off. Vendetta did the rest for her.
"I think you did enough for one day, just keep practicing."
"Will do." Alison ran tried to find Valkyrie. Ghastly was in the hall.
"Um, Elder Bespoke, where's my sister?"
"I believe quadrant 1d, by the ball room."
"Thanks dude!" She ran off and found Valkyrie sitting and texting on her phone.
"How was training?"
"It was cool, I decided on doing Elemental and Necromancy. I did water, air and stopped a shadow, it was so cool."
"That's good, you hungry?"
"Starving."
Damn, I need to get better endings…
