" Ike. The name Ike is floating around in my mind. Why? What does that mean? The only thing that makes sense to me is that is the name o...

I cannot take my eyes off of it.
"Whoa. That is—"
"A massive Castle? Yeah. The Namerans might look like a species who would not have cities, but they definitely know how to build elaborate buildings, including Castles,"
I just nod as I cannot think to do anything else. My gaze is kept on the looming Castle before me, much taller than anything I have ever seen before. It is even larger than the tall and skinny buildings found on the Dark World. The Castle is made up of several clusters of skinny towers, five sections, four at the four corners and then the center cluster, each cluster containing five towers. Each cluster's center tower is the tallest one which expands out once it passes the height of the other four. Each of the other four towers with their taller center tower seem to be at random heights. Each tower is topped with either a blue rounded roof, a purple rounded roof or a mixed, blue and purple, rounded roof.
"It's amazing,"
The Princess turns to face me and just smiles at me.
"I need to meditate for a while,"
She cocks her head at me, "Meditate?"
Wait, she does not meditate?Does she even know what that is?
"Um, yes, meditation helps calm your mind and keep control over your magic,"
She looks blankly at me for a moment then quickly nods, "Oh,"
I begin to walk over to a small secluded area close by to the enormous Castle and prepare to meditate. As I sit down and cross my legs, the Princess asks, "How exactly... does one meditate?"
I look up to her and give her a half smile. Strange how she was never taught to do this. How does she keep herself under control? Or does she have control at all?
"Well, you meditate when you close your eyes, focus on your thoughts and block out everything around you. When it works, you will hover while you are sitting and you gain control over any emotion in which you had lost control. Then you keep it, empowering yourself,"
She slowly nods once again, sitting down across from me, imitating me, "It is a tool, for your mind, which is how we control and use our magic,"
I finish preparing myself and close my eyes. I don't really think she fully understands but I cannot explain it any further.
