At the Field~

Lucy's P.O.V

I had lost track of how long I had been training with Amelane already, but it was for a long time. For some reason, mastering my Water magic and getting it under control completely, turned out to be difficult. To think Juvia accomplished that, I can't believe it.

The first day, when I discovered it, I thought I had gotten it under control. I hadn't, káo (no), not at all. The next morning, I was awakened because I could feel the soaked moss. All while I was sleeping, I had lost control of my magic and it poured down on the ground. Luckily or not, the Socubedo moss absorbed all of it, but it left it soaked in water. While Acnologia could dry it, he didn't, because it would just get soaked just as soon as I came home again.

I think we slept on that soaking wet moss for weeks; I really had a hard time getting it to stop raining. But, I had gotten it under control and I'd learned the first three basics and the special, so I was working on finding my Ngaro Toi (Secret Art) now.

My special spell was called Wai Tarakona's Totohu (Water Dragon's Whirlpool) and it was basically a tornado of water, in which the foe would be thrown around under water. Although, it wasn't the fiercest of water-tornadoes, it worked more with spinning around quickly, making the opponent dizzy and disoriented as well as hurting at the same time, of course.

Training with Amelane was funny sometimes. She was really a slave to drama, I'd learned. Every morning, she would ask how everything went with Acnologia and if we had gone further than kissing and... Well, if there was anything to gossip about.

Acnologia had progressed a lot in his training already. He'd gotten control over his Iron magic long ago and he had also learned the three basics and the special spell, which was Haeana Tarakona's Karapu (Iron Dragon's Club). Basically, it was the same as Gajeel's Iron Club, but stronger and bigger, how that would ever be possible was beyond me. Besides that, he had also found his Ngaro Toi (Secret Art) and was practicing using it.

Now, I was working with Amelane and Alodiculis to figure out what my Ngaro Toi (Secret Art) was. I was told to do this in a quite... Peculiar way.

I looked back over my shoulder at the Water Dragon, who was looking down at me with her dark purple eyes. "How long am I supposed to be doing this?" I asked her. At the moment, I was having my hand in the river-water, just like I did when I was about to discover my Ice magic way back, and crouching at the river-bed, too close to falling in for my own liking. Summer had just about ended and it was slowly going towards fall.

Amelane tilted her head with a smile. "Until you find your Ngaro Toi (Secret Art)." She told me. If you didn't know her beforehand, you would have thought she was a sadist. "I already told you it would be easier if you are in contact with water." She explained. Once again. Ae (Yes) this wasn't the first time she told me, actually it was more like the 100th.

I nodded with an exasperated sigh, looking back at the crystal water. "Ae (Yes), I know." I agreed. I closed my eyes and focused on the feeling of the cold water surrounding my hand and the faint feeling of magic running in it.

I pulled the magic from the water and into my hand, just like Amelane had told me to do so many times before. I led it from my hand and around in the system of my magic, letting my own and the river-magic mix. I tried looking for the words that I should use to release the magic again. I waited and looked for a half a minute, focusing only on the task at hand.
