Lion and his mate

Find a line between reality and power madness

Nemesis POV.
Again,early in the morning,Rowan and I went to that field from past day to teach Dorian more about magic.
But this time was different,this time,I was one who started training while Rowan sat behind us,quietly talking to Gavriel and Fenrys who arrived a second after us.
I turned to Dorian,asking him "How do you feel from yesterday? Important,how you feel now connection between you and your magic?"
"I am fine.",Dorian replied , "Well connection....I feel it like I am closer to her,like I understand her better but not completely. It's like I am so close but still so far away from her. "
"That is why this training exist.",I answered and then I started to speak with my tone I usually used back in Aurelia while teaching someone important lesson "Yesterday,we started with few basic things about controlling magic,but now it's time for the next level. But,before that,30 circles around this field to warm yourself and then we will just remind ourselves what have we learned yesterday and then we gonna start with a new level. I will be joining you. Are you ready?",I asked him and he answered "I am." I just added then "Good. Cause it will be even harder than yesterday. "
We started running around the field,passing next by three fae males talking and watching us.
I then started "You see Dorian,as I told you yesterday,using magic is more than just use her without knowing your limits, without knowing where is time to stop. Magic is complex thing and it's usually like you,so you must learn first thing about yourself deep down in you,where your magic lays to be ready to call her in use.
Because your magic usually comes like you have ice powers but it's way more than that. Your magic is raw and still without a shape.
Once you learn how to draw a lines between her,separating,learning and using different kind and stages of your power,you will be able to do something great with her.
Now,it's possibility to sometimes hurt yourself while using power,but my dear king,as I was told long ago by my father "Every hurt is a lesson and every lesson makes you better. "
He was,as you obviously know,right with that words and since then I did and use powers by that lesson and many others. 
Just to know,we won't use just your magic,we or better tell,you,but still, are gonna training in the old fashioned ways with weapons."
"Okay. "Dorian answered and then we finished running around the field,going then to the middle of it.
I said "Now sit and repeat first and last lesson you learned yesterday."
We sat on the ground and I continued "Choose which lesson you will repeat again."
"I think I will start with yours.Because you told me that not just body but mind as well must be ready for using magic.",Dorian answered and said "I did.Okay then. I will also do something and you repeat lesson. "
He started and I watched him,consulting him but then I felt his struggling with lesson and I didn't wanna to speak anything for at least two of fae males behind us to hear So I spoke to him in his mind "Are you okay? What's happend? ",and he answered me "I...remembered some...things and then I couldn't find then connection  and that feeling. I tried to clear my mind I really did but.."
"It's okay young king to have something still to learn and not knowing some things. It's important to learn what we don't know and use it in the best way we can and some things we still don't understand or we didn't have time to learn, it is also important that we can't let that "not knowing certain thing" lead us to making great mistakes. And this is not great failure is it? It's okay to still struggling with some things about your magic. Trust me I was the same when I started to learn about magic and its wonder."
"Thanks for wise words. But...Can you do...Can I see how you are doing that?"
I smiled and then answered "Of course. But you have to know,after this,you repeating lesson and then we are gonna start some real things."
And then I closed my eyes,cuting Dorian from my mind,trying to focus.
As I was teaching him last day,I cleared my mind.
Focus

Breathe

Reach out

Breathe

Seek

Breathe

Find

Breath

As my hands were on my knees,I slightly raised them still not opening them. I reach deep in myself,calling just small parts of my power.
I opened left hand and in her,fire lighten up,I breathed again and when I opened right hand,in her,bubble of darkness and starlight,strong and calming,showed up and I heard gasps but I didn't open my eyes,just continued to concentrate.
Then I clapped my hands,and both of water and darkness kissed by stars, were gone and when I opened them again and my fire,now different because of shadows,started all over again.  I just sat there,letting,now shadow fire,to grow,more and more. Letting her flow around me,trough me and higher.
And when I felt how three males behind me and Dorian stiffened,because  they were not sure if I am gonna lose control again,I just smiled and close my palms again and shadow fire was gone.
Rowan,Gavriel and Fenrys relaxed a little bit but still,two of them,Gavriel and Fenrys,waited wide open eyes to see what is gonna happend next,as I spoke to Dorian "That was parting of my power,for my power and yours are much similar than you know and that was me remembering old ways,remembering what have I learned long ago,that was me sailing trough my power,searching for lines between its levels and differences. But that is just small part. Now you try. But for now,just ice. ",And with that words I gave Dorian look "You know what I mean",and he nodded,closing eyes as I told him,relaxing,feeling,reaching deep in his power.
He raised one hand,opening her,and blue ice light showed up, and her power started already to freeze place around us,then he raised another,also blue ice light showed up and then when he clapped his hands and opened them again,ice started faster,mightier,freezing everything on its way and atmosphere grow colder,for me that was not problem and on its last moment, I spoke to Dorian again quietly "Remember king. Pace your power slowly
Breathe
Let her around you,let her flow trough you Dorian
Breathe
Do not lose control
Again,breathe
Now,slowly,slowly start to call back your magic.
Slowly
Breath
Remember,always calm."
And then field started to unfreeze and blue ice was gone from Dorian's hand and and again he started and we trained for few hours and then I said "Enough now. Well done king. That was something. You see,never but never let yourself fall into madness. There is line. Find a line between reality and power madness,my dear,then you will have much bigger amount of control than you do now. Now,are you ready for practical part?"
Dorian answered "I am.",and I turned to Rowan,stood up,saying him "Your turn prince. " He nodded and started to walk toward us,bringing up two swords and when I turned to sit up on Rowan's place,Dorian said "Thnak you. " and I answered "No problem but don't thank me yet. There is far more than this and now,you just entered the hell. Again after your training with Rowan,we will repeat some lessons and try something new. Now you know what you must to do. ",and he nodded,saying "I do.", and I replied "Good.",and then I sit next to Gavriel and Fenrys,watching how Rowan spoke to young king,started to train him.
And then Fenrys suddenly asked "Why you don't train king? We didn't see and yesterday,that you have learned Dorian about more than magic."
I sighed and turning to the wolf of Dorannele,I spoke to him "Many great things can Dorian learn from Rowan,about powers especially. But Dorian's power is similar to mine,there are some things Rowan know but he can't show it to Doriand because of differences and there are some things he don't know. But that is more my knowledge of magic than knowledge of magic most of you. "
He went silent and lion asked "What was that thing with fire and shadows?".
I just smiled and replied "As I said,Dorian's magic is similar on some ways to mine and there are many levels and stages of power,drawing lines between them. My power is...or was one of the greatest,my land has ever seen. But since...well it's not matter now. Since some things happend,my power was locked in me,she was there but at the same time and she didn't she was so far. Thing yesterday that happened was just trying to remember old ways of magic. I use of course my magic for some..parts but that is nothing. And yesterday I tried to some up bigger parts and my power,finally opening her sleepy eyes,was finally free. Thank gods I've been able to stop her. I don't dare to even imagine what would happend if I didn't. ", Gavrield then asked quietly "What would happend?"
I went silent for some moments and they waited for my answer and then I did "You would be dead. That could happend yesterday. "
Fenrys just let quite,unlike him,  "Wow",we looked each other and then started to laugh and then I said " I am really not joking." ,and he answered "I know."
And with that words,silence fell between three of us,watching Rowan teaching Dorian and for next few hours,we decided to train a little to but I went separate from them, but as did I so they were giving some advices to Dorian because Rowan really drilled him. And it's not wonder but as it seems,king didn't complain about that,just continuing to push his limits every time,further and further,as much me or mostly Rowan allowed him. After some time,Rowan said "We are not over for today,we just over for next...one over. Relax,eat something,and do that as Nemesis told you."
And as he finished,Rowan,Fenrys,Gavriel and I gathered and watching king walking away,back,to bring some food and water,Fenrys "Boy is good,great powers he have." and Rowan said yo him "But still,this isn't enough. There is so much more. As long we have time for that,I will help him. "
Fenrys snorted And we looked at him,Gavriel already preparing himself for what will come from Fenrys's mouth and then Fenrys said " You and help?! More like killing. You already started,killing him. " Rowan's eyes flashed with annoyance and when he open mouth to speak I said " Killing or not,drilling or not, your opinion doesn't matter. Dark times coming toward us,swift and fast,now more than ever and young king is more than you know aware of that. He does not and he should not complain about training. This as we all learned,is just a small part. He must be ready for whatever comes next wolf and for all I know,that "killing"training that Rowan gave you,saved your ass more than gods maybe should allowed it. "
Fenrys opened his mouth,probably to give me some sass-answer and then Gavriel stopped him saying "You know she is right. Young king indeed must be ready for whatever comes next and as it seems many things will happend and half of them we probably won't expecting but that is way we train. To find a way even in situations like that. "
I nodded on wise words and when lion smiled,in that moment I felt again something.
That voice.
Old and familiar.
She is telling me something.
I listened her and she only repeated "Impossible,impossible things. Look and find." and I was thinking "Where? What things must be found?" but there was no answer and three males felt me changing mood and Gavriel asked me "Are you alright? " and I answered "I don't know" and I started to falling on ground,feeling how he catched me and then everything went black.

Gavriel POV.
She answered "I don't know" and in next moment she was falling  I quickly catched and then she fainted.
And for next few moments,we couldn't wake her and king came asking "What happend here?" and prince answered "I don't know. We were speaking and at the end,she went silent for moments and when Gavriel asked her is she alright she tell she don't know and then she fainted.
"Do you know why? " and I said "No. Everything happend sudden."
And in next moment,we heard gasp coming from Nemesis and we turned quickly to her and Dorian asked her "Are you alright?",and she opened slowly her eyes,answering "I guess so. Did I... Did I just fainted? "
And we answered "Yes" in union and she stood up and I said "Careful." But she just raised one hand saying "I am alright now." and she turtned to Rowan,catching his gaze and he went silent also for some moment and the he murmured "But what it could be?" and she said "I don't know. That voice..I haven't heard it in a long time. I..I..I think I need a break. " and then she stormed,passing through us, and Fenrys "What the helljust happend?!" and Rowan said "It's not on me to tell. By the way neither me or she don't know. Let her go." and Fenrys answered "Whatever" and then prince continued to teach young king and Fenrys gave him some advices and so did I,but I couldn't stop thinking what just happened to Nemesis. She doesn't seems like a creathure who so easily fainting. And when she does,there must be a reason . But I shook my head,clearing my mind from it,thinking how I have many other things to think about and my thoughts again went to my son,wondering what is he like.
And that was for few hours until we saw Nemesis returning saying " How far did you go with him,Prince?",speaking to Rowan and he answered "Many lessons. But still.." andshe finished "It's not enough. I know. I am taking from now again." and when they asked her "Are you sure?" she answered "Quite. I am alright now. There is no need or time for worrying." and Rowan again came to me and Fenrys and for the last few hours of king's training,she reached him again lessons magic but this time she didn't use her.
At the end she said "I think it's enough for today. Let's go. Twillight already came. We are gonna continue again tomorrow. Same place,same time. "
And we then parted all on its own way
