Through Heart

Dialgia woke up to a simple day, a simple morning in fact. It was day two. She was gonna be with Sarlat's team: The Blue Team. There were different environments put inside the Airwing. So she was training at the foot of a tall waterfall. Sarlat was a serious second-year. That's a pretty young age for a leader. She was skilled, a peacemaker. A very determined self-reliant female. She'd welcome you warmly but if you goof around even just a little; Sarlat was bound to drown you and maybe even supervise you while you're feeling the weight of heavy falling water. Yep. That dead serious about things. Today, Sarlat's palms were black from the flames and she was still weary. Dialgia frowned a little during attendance and waded on the water. She wasn't even wet. A little later, Dialgia controlled water just fine. Sarlat tightly gripped on Dialgia's shoulders. In an instant, the water she was manipulating collapsed. 'Not too attentive, eh? There's absolutely no technique to accomplish that,' Sarlat chuckled a little. Dialgia backed away a little. 'What do you mean by that?' Dialgia asked with a slight bewildered expression. 'To control water, you have to be its friend,' Sarlat said. 'Give it your full attention. Listen to what it says. Maybe you can find out what kind of heart it has.' 'You mean I have to do those?' Dialgia was still bewildered. 'That'd justify me insane, won't it?'

'No, silly,' Sarlat chuckled once again. 'And yes; it'd justify you insane, but imagine the water as someone dear to you. And you can use the feeling. You have to be in sync. Use your feelings against an oponnent. Not through mouth but through the heart.'

It was a like a very personal conversation to Dialgia. Very personal. Because the one she held dear to her were her sisters, or her guardian, or even Verdana Trease.

'Thank you,' Dialgia warmly thanked Sarlat.

You're welcome.
