Sap Ceremony

This was Tipu and Jesper's first time being the masters representing earth and mind. They would be hosting a Sap Ceremony for the first time.

Former Master Ganh smiled at his son "You seem stressed," he said.

Tipu nodded "I'm trying to keep it together, especially with the whole human disguise," he replied.

His dad knew about the Angwu form but he hadn't seen what Tipu looked like in that form. The earth ruffled his son's hair "Well don't stress too hard, my first time I wasn't watching and I stepped onto my cloak and fell on my face, right in front of my master, Naj, your mother, and everybody who came for the ceremony. Thank Carvic the sap had a seal on it," he said.

Tipu laughed, for a brief moment he felt his horns appear then vanished when he brought the magic back down. Jesper came up to them, with them both being very different. Jesper was still getting used to his new form; floppy gazelle ears, long horns that went up, and a tiny tail poked out from under his red cloak.

They had became masters at 13, at 14 they had to complete a few tasks before offically begin allowed to give Sap at ceremonies, during last year they had been attacked. Tipu had watched Jesper become an Ic after his familiar had been on the verge of death and Jesper called Maui into hidden form.

The ic earth smiled "I can't wait to see what will be summoned," he said.

Tipu nodded "Can't wait either," he lied, you know like a liar.

Tipu gave a warm smile to the young mind girl as she approached him "Nati Of The Minds, I Present To You The Sap Of Arkiki! As Of Today You Will Discover Your Magic Path And Truly Became Apart Of The Magic Of Asder!" He said in a clear loud voice. People of the minds clapped loudly.

Nati took the small jar and took a sip. Just like all Faricans during their ceremony, she went to one knee and placed her left hand onto the ground with her eyes closed. The Earths were chanting just like they did for all earth kids who drank the Sap but the minds were silent with their eyes shut.

Tipu backed away as he felt the magic around him shift. It drew towards both the earth boy and mind girl, sinking into their cores and coming out in swirls of magic. The boy had red magic and the girl had bronze. They had gotten the magic they were raised with.

The boy's magic had transformed first. Taking the shape of a...

A chicken.

The girl got a woodpecker.

Tipu looked at Jesper and saw that Jesper was looking at him. They were both thinking the same thing. Despite how amazingly intense the ceremony was, the animals were semi-disappointing. Tipu looked at Nati. Her woodpecker took residence on her hair "Well Nati, what would you like to name them?" He asked.

Nati smiled softly "I will call her Tamara," she replied as if this was something she had known all of her life.

Tipu held up his hand and gestured to all of the minds "Nati Has Summoned A Woodpecker, Welcome Tamara," he saod proudly. The Minds gave a cheer and claps.

Jesper was holding up his hand as well to the earths "Artu Has Summoned A Brahma Rooster, Welcome Rakhi!" He said which brought the roar of cheering from the earths.
