"Hello-"
"-Ahh!" Ethereal clushed her shirt that shielded her beating heart "oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you" misaki apologized a faint smile of amusement on her face "please. It's my fault for being jumpy" she rubbed of the topic "Miss Omoshiro please join me for a walk" misaki didn't wait for a reply as she started walking "how are you this fine morning" misaki asked, the white kimono fitting her well "oh I've been better, though it's been wonderful. But. I had my first vision-" "wait visions must not be shared unless you are instructed to say them. still, you keep unlocking your arts even when you haven't connected to them" misaki removed her gaze from ethereal and kept it forward
She stated matter of factly but ethereal had to ask " what do you mean?" She questioned, her voice sounding like an innocent child discovering the world.
"Well. Normally, when we are born we would already have our arts assigned and decided by the colour of our eyes and hair, and the art is immediately active outside the womb. But in your case and of many others in the Tsuiho kingdom, your arts are blocked and you would need to either connect, unlock or recognize the source of that art which leads me to my next question" misaki slowed down as the pathway became wanted by flourishing plants and bushes that reminded her of her home,"Do you have a relative with an energy art?"
That question made her heart swell even more and yes, that would explains what happened with Hana to some extent " yeah, my brother has the energy art"
Misaki nodded "your mother? Are there others? Please keep in mind that i do not wish to cross any boundaries,but it would help"the last part was a whisper.a smile crossed it's way onto ethereal's face, though everyone may be different they still knew enough to relate or somewhat understand, " no-its fine. I had an aunt who had the Nature and animal art,my father had only the art of water and my mother possessed the Time and reality art" ethereal revealed.
It felt comforting weird but comforting to talk about her parents to someone who could relate, though she would never be able to tell the entire story, she barely remembered it herself.
"Mmmh, that explains the vision it could be linked to your mother's art. And there's a possibility that the other arts are easily accessible in your bloodline" misaki stopped as ethereal turned to look at her "and as for today, we will be connecting you back to nature. I did some research on the district cikena and found out it was a one built on nature, so I do hope this is nostalgic in a way" she was greatful but the thought of her knowing what happened to her people didn't sit right with her, then again it explains why Miran didn't trust ethereal since she said she's from a 'non-existing- district' on the map.
Misaki sat down, her hair flowing along with the raise and fall of her chest, ethereal mimicked her actions with both her eyes closed she took deep breaths.
Again a chill ran down her spine but she chose to ignore it and concentrate, however, this time she focused on the amount of it rather than the art itself.
The sound of the birds chirping a harmonious tune calmed her down, while in a secluded area the trees created a generous amount of shade and an even better breeze with bits of sunlight seeping through.
Ethereal opened her eyes to see she was no longer in the secluded area, she was now in the same dark void she had seen her mother but it wasn't cold, if anything it was warm something she was grateful for.
The girl made no attempt to move, seated with one leg over the other "ethereal you need to concentrate" misaki's voice echoed as ethereal continued to close her eyes. A lime green wave bright as day flowed around her as more sprouted from both the void and her mind, it swirled over her body slowly and yet she welcomed the warm sensation.
It was light and gentle but still Heald the vibrant warning not to be tempted with as it engulfed her body the scent of mint engulfing her senses. Her aunt loved mint as her memories flooded in the waves now firm on her skin, huntress Kami would spend hours a day in her mint garden back in the old kingdom. A sad smile made it's way onto her face and warm arms wrapped around ethereal's enclosed body, the scent of mint growing stronger, her face Heald an expression, an expression that Heald nostalgic memories as the familiar black hair with stripes of green came into her view "my dear ethina, you are worthy" the voice of her aunt whispered into her ear. Without a second she returned the hug as if she let go she would never get the chance to again and in that second a wave of energy bursted from her as the once green waves were now sparkles as they were being absorbed into her skin "Ethina, well done" the voice soon began to fade as a mere whisper now "well done..well done"
One of the brightest smiles made it's way onto ethereal's face as endless tears rolled down her checks, she today had accomplished many things. One she was blessed and got the chance to hear her aunt which was enough for her, two not only hear but be embraced and assisted by her, three she was now fully connected to her nature art, one step closer to being the 10gen.
The girl closed her eyes, an attempt in trying to stop her tears but when she woke up she saw misaki who wore a proud smile on her face. Ethereal raised a brow soon realizing she still had her smile and beside her,(to which misaki, the blue head had to motion towards) were vines that were somehow attached to her. In those vines sprouted flowers of different species that glowed and shined in the small amount of sunshine from above, though she failed in hiding it her smile only grew wider in what she had created.
Misaki sat and stood up "class dismissed" she spoke, her smile had faded, slightly, but the happiness in her accomplishment was evident in her tone as she stared at the silver head. One of the chances I get to see her smile the thought made her release a giggle.
The girl noticed that misaki had started walking back and followed her as she lead the way in comfortable silence, every once in a while they would brush some leaves off of their faces and hair, "Does Miran bother you?" The question caused ethereal to furrow her eyebrows slightly and subconsciously tilt her head.
"With his declaration for you, I mean" oh that, to be honest a few days after she was introduced shinra had bluntly stated that Miran didn't trust her on their walk back. Ethereal pursed her lips thinking on her next words "well, it's hard to say. I understand the statement that I am from Cikena, which to your information doesn't exist would be hard to accept, but nothing said there were no survivors"
She was trying and trying hard to atleast share her story but it felt as if it physically pained her to do so, her head Heald low eyebrows knitted together, a blank expression on her face "but. Someday he'll know, you'll all know, just not today" the last part was spoken underneath her breath as a mere whisper.
That was a sign to the Blue heard Infront of ethereal, a boundary and she respected that opting to keep silent once more "understood" was all misaki could say in response to ethereal's statement, but her mind had other plans.
