fiend or foe?

."Right....i'm sorry. I have never teached anyone since a few years ago xena" xena shook her head as she put her hands in front of her, "no no its ok. At Least you were not my science teacher" xena said. Squinting her eyes as she thought back at the last time she attended a school "well at least that is a positive note then.. Why do you view him in a bad light?" luxia asked while setting up the pieces she wanted to use for xena's first lesson. Behind them near the forest were the other children, they were all jolling around as they played with wooden sticks and shields. Some are screaming "hail king lionel!" while others were running around the wooden house. "Well.. he would always ramble about his wife and stuff. Just boring things... though.. Whenever he did that I would always pick up one of my books and draw some stuff on it." xena said. Poking at her white gown as she looked at what luxia was doing. Luxia raised her eyebrows "oh? . Can I know what you were drawing?" she asked. Curious about her talents. "I would want to. But I lost them." xena said as she looked away to the bush with flowers on her right. She wanted to cry, but held it in to not worry luxia even more. "That's ok. You still have a lot of time ahead of you.." luxia said. She laid down a row of petals on the grass while stroking her white hair behind her ear. "Ok.. so.. To make it easy for you. We will learn how to heal flowers.." "Why flowers?" xena asked. Putting her hands on her knees before leaning in over the dead petals of roses. Luxia chuckled a little "Well.. it would be a little horrifying if we did it on a live animal does it not?"

"Yeah you are right." xena agreed. She did not want to have it on her table, if everyone knows she killed an animal.'' The children in the back we're still screaming and laughing as tears dropped from their eyes of uncontrolled laughter. Miss Verandal opened the kitchen window that faced the back garden and yelled "be careful! Acheilla! I don't want Bess to have an arrow pierced through her abdomen!." acheilla froze in place. Almost tipping over on the wet puddle on the ground before facing miss verandal." "ok! I will be more careful!!" acheilla yelled. Luxia glanced towards acheilla as she was going back to chasing the other children. Noticing the little whisper under acheilla's lips "she always says that, yet those arrows are only sticks, picked up at the forest's edge" xena said. Scoffing before turning to face luxia. Luxia sighed in relief before shaking her head "right.. Where were we" "how to heal a petal" Xena jumped in. "correct!" luxia said. Picking one of the petals up in front of Xena's eyes and placing it on her palm before her. "The first thing you want to do is breathe slowly in. counting 1..2..3..4. And then proceed to exhale to clear your mind." xena followed her instructions carefully. Fully breathing in. yet she forgot to breathe out. "Xena?" Luxia asked. "Xena! Exhale!" luxia said, giving Xena a worried look as Xena was exhaling deeply. "hey i said flowers first! I don't want you to die on purpose. If you do, I won't bring you back." luxia said sarcastically as she frowned her eyebrows "though i wish i could" luxia said disappointingly. "What? You said inhale. But never said to exhale!." ". I did!. Did i?" "see! Even you don't remember saying it." "Forget it. Let's proceed on with the lesson. Now. breath in and out ok. And don't suffocate." luxia said. Putting her hands on her side, puffing her cheeks. "What?" xena said jokingly. Luxia stared at Xena in frustration. "Ok..ok.. Breath in and out, and suffocate." "The lesson is over." luxia jumped in. getting ready to stand up and walk towards the house. "Ok ok. I wont joke around." secretly luxia felt relieved seeing xena open up more than yesterday. She could remember her avoiding her, not even making a slight eye contact. As xena breathed in. closing her eyes. Luxia picked one of the petals up too and said "try to think of peace. What does it look like, imagine you're in it now..." Xena tried. "Being with my father..." she said.. It caught luxia slightly off guard. She sighed deeply before saying "try to channel that energy into the petal. The happiness. The calm feeling of that very paradise you're thinking of." Xena could sense a faint glow on her hands as she tried to direct the energy into the petal. "Miss kreinheard? Is it supposed to hurt?" dumbfounded by the question, she opened her eyes a tiny bit. Saying "no" before noticing the purple stain the petal gave over. luxia 's eyes widened before she wiped the petal from xena's hands and onto the grass below "hey why did you do that?" xena asked. Oblivious to the purple stain on her hands. "It was already dead. Don't worry about it."
