"I still think you're trying to force it out. Imagine a separate system of veins and arteries extending through your body. That second system contains all of your elemental essence, being pumped through your body by your spirit. It's already there so you don't have to force it out, just guide it along."
It's been over a week now of meditating on this one hill of sand. Kaden thought. I'm really getting tired of this, and I'm questioning now if it really is possible for me to use this essence stuff. They've trained to do this since they were kids, when their brains were still capable of easily picking up details. This just might be pointless for a 21 year old like me.
"Relax young man, I could feel your heart rate rising." Treya said as she joined Mai, Kaden and Kenzo.
"Here to give me some helpful tips Granny Trey?" Kaden asked.
"Not really, just passing through." She replied. "There's no shortcut to mastering water essence."
"I don't want to master it, I just wanna survive when I go out there."
"There's no shortcut to survival either." Treya responded with a grin. "Elder Faye and I will be leaving Aestus for a short while to investigate something. We will be accompanied by two of the other royal guards."
"Yes mam." Kenzo replied bowing his head.
"Stay safe Elder Treya." Said Mai.
"Later Granny." Kaden stated.
"You should also do something about these little intruders." Treya said as she walked away.
"They weren't bothering anyone so I wasn't worrying about them." Mai replied. "Alright girls, come out."
"Wait who?" Kenzo asked looking around.
"I told you she spotted us from the beginning!"
"Because you were following them to closely."
As they argued to each other, the twins Kuria and Kumori appeared from the bushes.
"You two shouldn't be here without permission." Kenzo stated.
"We know, that's why we had permission given to us by him." Kumori said as she pointed to Kaden.
The four of them looked at Kaden as he closed his eyes and continued his meditation in silence.
"What's the meaning of this stranger?" Mai asked.
HUMMMMM!
"Stop playing around outsider!" Kenzo shouted. "Answer the question."
"Out of everyone I've met in Aestus, you easily have the worst manners." Kaden exclaimed.
"You're one to talk about manners. Just answer Lady Mai's question."
Sigh. "I don't have the energy to toy with you today." Kaden replied opening eyes and turning to Mai. "The twins followed us from training two days ago and I'm guessing they're interested in what we're doing. They even followed me to my house yesterday and that's when I confronted them."
"He said he was undergoing some top secret training from Miss Mai." Kumori stated.
"We didn't believe him though so he told us to follow today and watch." Kuria added.
"This isn't something the general public knows about, that's why we're here." Kenzo exclaimed.
"So this is top secret training." Kumori said to Kuria.
