Pashiva 4 The Duln Saga

The Determined Melat, Training Day at Marsh Village

            Back at Marsh Village at the house in which the Brown Cloaks were temporarily residing in, Everyone was keeping to their own agenda. Pyroy and Array were sparring with swords, Eresil was meditating, Naytan was reading a book on the couch while Anita was bouncing a rubber ball from the palm of her hand to the wall and back to her hand. Melat on the other hand was outside, behind the house practicing his technique. Inside the house the noises of gusts of wind could be heard as the impact they had on the trees outside cracked like a clap of thunder. This was especially detrimental to Eresil's meditating as he walked outside the house and to where Melat was training. Everyone else followed as when they walked to the back of the house they saw Melat shadow boxing. He would rapidly punch gusts of air out into the distance at an immense speed. He then would practice his movements by running and jumping sporadically while also firing accurate gusts of wind. Each of his targets were any trees that were left standing during his training. Melat then landed on the roof of the house without knowing that the others were watching him. Melat then held out his hands with their palms out. He then stared out into the distance at seven large boulders. Melat then ran over to them. Everyone watched in an amused interest while even the townsfolk were interested. Melat then came back with one Boulder in each hand. He placed them on the wooden structure holding up the town. The wood creaked slightly while Melat paid no mind to it. "Should we move those things before Melat falls through the wood floor holding this town above the lake"? Array asked. "Nah, let him train, he's in the zone". Naytan said. Melat then picked the boulders back up with somewhat ease. He then took in a deep breath and backed up. He then ran forward at a slower pace then he would be without the boulders in his hands. He then jumped up with a decent amount of effort until he reached the roof. Melat then threw up the boulder in his left hand. The boulder flew up nearly fifty feet. Melat then formed a small gust of wind the size of his hand print. The boulder then fell down as Mela winded back his hand and thrust it out once boulder hit his hand. "Wind REPEL". Melat yelled as the boulder then flew up twice as high as it was when Melat simply threw it. Melat then threw the other boulder into the air and jumped up into the air. Melat then winded up a gust of wind around his left foot and kicked upwards towards the lower boulder and smashed it to pieces. Melat then fired a wind punch from his right hand to the other boulder and destroyed that as well. The pieces of the rocks fell to the earth as the Brown Cloaks seemed somewhat panicked. "Ugh someone stop those things". Anita yelled. Pyroy then flew up into the air and started to slash violently at the broken pieces of stone until they were broken down into mere pebbles. Eresil then fired a flare from his two hand and disentigrated the other stones left behind from Pyroy. Melat then landed back on the roof of the house now knowing that the others were watching him. He the cupped his left hand over his cupped right hand and in the circular gap between his hands, a small orb of wind appeared. Melat stared at it with full concentration. He then slowly started to move both hands one hundred and eighty degrees counter clockwise. Before reaching one hundred and eighty degrees Melat then forced them to the position he wanted when that orb of wind between Melat's hands was fired outward with a great speed. Melat aimed it specifically at one of the boulder's out in the distance. Not only did the wind orb hit the Boulder he aimed for, but once the orb hit the stone, the Boulder was blasted into fractions while the trees around it were being pushed aside while still holding their ground. Melat then tried the same maneuver again but only this time he let the wind orb expand to quadruple the size of the first one. Melat then turned his hands nintey degrees counter clockwise until his left palm was facing towards his right palm leaving the wind orb which was four times as large as the first one between his hands. The wind orb was the divided into two smaller orbs which were simply twice as large as the first orb Melat originally created. The two orbs were then dived into two more orbs which were the exact size of Melat's original orb. Melat then concentrated on the remaining four boulders out in the distance. Melat then fired each orb at the remaining stones both quickly, and accurately. Each stone was blown to smithereens as the Brown Cloaks were amazed at Melat's new techniques. "Melat that's amazing". Array said. "Huh, oh thanks". Melat said with a grin. "What're you training for anyway? Felren said he'd take care of this Rep- Sapien". Eresil said. "Well after we're done here we're going to Mid World where we have to save my mom. We don't know how strong those guys are there. So I don't wanna take the risk that they won't be that strong only to find out that they completly outclass us. And if they're too strong for us to handle then we can't save her". Melat said. The others looked at Melat with utmost respect. "Maybe we should train too". Anita said. Both Array and Pyroy started sparring again using their swords and Eresil walked over to the them and made an announcement. "I just realized that I because of our environment we can take full advantage of a new type of training". Eresil said. Everyone then paid attention. Everyone walked over to Eresil. "But first". Eresil said while reaching in a small duffle bag. "Array, after the whole Cedeul event I gave the others belts to show their level as a Pashiva Knight. So because you left I couldn't give you your belt so here you go". Eresil said giving her an orange belt. "HEY HOW COME SHE GETS AN ORANGE BELT WHEN WE ALL GOT WHITE BELTS". Anita yelled angrily. Eresil then held out three yellow belts, one orange belt and one red belt. "Array because of (clears throat) specific reasons (while staring at Array's figure) I award you the Orange Belt rank for Pashiva Knight". Eresil said handing Array the orange belt. Array then wrapped the belt around her waist. "Anita and Naytan, for your attempt at fighting Under Lord Takoran, I award you the Yellow Belt rank". Eresil said handing them their belts as they threw their white belts away and replaced them with their yellow belts. "Pyroy, for being the first one in this thousand years to awaken Burning Heart I award you the Orange belt rank". Eresil said handing the belt to Pyroy who put it on. "Melat, for defeating the opponent who bested all of us and using every tactic up your sleeve with broad determination, I award you with the Red belt rank". Eresil said handing him the red belt. Melat then wrapped the belt around his waist and threw out his yellow belt. The replaced yellow and white belts were thrown into dirty, mucky lake. The remaining yellow belt was in Eresil's hand. "This last belt is for Felren, when he gets back I'll give it to him. But for the time being I want us ALL to practice two new forms of Pashiva in which even I'm inexperienced in truthfully". Eresil said. Everyone paid close attention. "These two new Pashiva Forms are very strange and alien compared to the two you all are used to. One of these Forms involves using the natural water in your body and transporting it to other parts of your body. This form is called Watered Pores. The second Form I wish to work on involves using your own bodily hairs to expand and take the exact form of any foliage you touch. This form is called Hair Vines". Eresil explained. Everyone pondered at the idea of these new forms. "Now let's start practice, everyone jump into the lake". Eresil said nonchalantly.
