Vibrant Lights [o.h]

Ember sat in the middle of the training room, digital pad in hand as she read the gained information over. Most of it made sense - unless you were strong enough power wise, as soon as you let go of the object you formed, it disappears. Its better to practice in lighten areas, never in the dark for beginners. A few know people can actually use their quintessence in the dark. 

There was just so much information. 

   "Lets just slow it down," Ember murmured to herself, scrolling back to the top. "Here, 'There are many ways to form an object with the quintessence. One of my favorites is just to imagine the object in your head. How sharp is it? What metal is it made of? What design is it? Although all of the objects you create will have that multi-colored glow, thinking about what the actual object is should help you solidify it. Once it gets easier to make objects, you shouldn't even have to think at all, just will it.' I feel like that's going to take a while. . ."

Ember sighed, putting down the data pad and closing her eyes, stretching her hand out in front of her. What would be the easiest thing to make?

   "A ball," Ember scrunched her nose. "A round sphere. . .That bounces. . .and be thrown?" She trailed off in question, opening her eyes slowly. Much to her surprise, a glowing rainbow ball was in her hand, which dip slightly at the new found weight. "Woah!"

She rolled it around in her hands and tossed it up in the air, quickly catching it in her other hand. "Do I just. . .?" Ember paused, drew her hand back and threw the ball towards the white walls of the practice room. It didn't go more than two feet before it burst into sparkling lights, slowly disappeared as they floated down.  

   "That was cool," Someone commented from the door frame. Ember turned to see Lance standing there, looking slightly impressed. 

   "I'm not sure a glittering ball is going to scare away Zarkon and his army any time soon," Ember joked, turning her body towards Lance as he walked in. "What are you doing here?"

   "Apparently we have to go fix something on the outside of the ship," Lance explained, sitting down in front of Ember. "But that can wait a little bit. Try to make something bigger. . .Like a dagger that you can throw!"

   "You mean a throwing knife?That shouldn't be too hard. . ." She paused, staring at her hand as it started to glow, but no dagger appeared. "I take that back."

   "You got this, Bee," Lance prodded, smiling gently. "If I can learn to form Voltron in a day, you can make a dagger. Easy peasy!"

   "That has nothing in common, but thank you for trying,"

   "No problem!"

Ember chuckled, keeping her eyes open this time and stared at her hand. A dagger. . .Something that was extremely sharp, but small. It's like a butter knife, but slightly bigger. 

   "See? Not bad!"

Ember paused and focused on her hand. Sure enough, a small iridescent dagger was in her palm. She gripped the dagger's handle and sliced the air to her side, away from Lance. "I don't think a dagger is my thing, but at least I have a weapon now!"

   "As long as you start to practice fighting before you come on missions with us. We'll find your weapon - maybe its a sword?" Lance rambled on and shook his head. "Whatever, lets get to the bridge. Everyone is waiting for us there."

   "Race ya there!" Ember grinned, throwing her dagger towards the weapons rack and dashing out of the room. 

   "No fair! You can't cheat like that!" Lance cried, quickly following her.
