"--And well, Tra brings me somewhere each time I find myself in the spirit plains, always having something that I need to fix." I explained to Kela after I had dragged her back to our own realm.

"People must be blind to not see how amazing you are."

"I am not that amazing." I rubbed the back of my head. "I am also expected to do great things because of who I am related to."

"Ah no, don't start getting all mushy sad again about some arbitrary bar people want you to reach or I swear I will bury you head first in the dirt."

"Is that a threat?"

"It's a goddamn promise."

"Oooooookay." I will not test her, that's for sure. "Anyhow train me, you agreed."

"Now? You just dragged me along on a head turning journey."

"It wasn't that long, come on you can show me a few tricks.... Ooooor... Are you backing out?" I grinned.

"Oh no no, you won't pull that card on me, want training? Alright follow me."

"This will be great!!"


---------------------------------------------


"This is the worst." I grumbled, sitting in the mud, wiping it off my tongue and spiting it out.

"You can create molten rocks but you struggle with mud? Quite pathetic."

"Stop saying that!!" I got on my knees.

"What? You are! You whine and whine, hoping it would come like a breeze, Mystery might stop the training but it is your fault for being a child about it, so get up and stop whining for all that is holy."

"I really hate you."

"Love you too." She said sarcastically, she was all clean while I was taking a mud bath.

I snapped my arm out but before the lightning bolt had left my finger a wall of mud bopped the back of my head making me fall face first into it.

"Yeah no, that's not the exercise."

"Okay I have enough!" I closed my fist and whipped it to the side making her stumble before with half a spin I threw my other arm out and finally did the mud jump to my command and splash her in the face, finally! It has been a long time since we've been doing this.

"Okay two things." She wiped her face off easily with a wave of her hand, stupid wild magic. "First, it isn't that hard to control the mud is it? Just like the sand or the dust in the air but you couldn't realize it and second.... What did you just do?"

"Hummm... I don't know?"

"Lin.... Speak and now."

"I just found this out not long ago but." I quickly fished out a metal coin from my pocket. "I've been using this to train a little bit since it is small and light."

"And train what exactly?" She raised a brow as me and put her fist on her hip.

"This." I made the coin hover over my hand. "Irons and steels is imperfect and comes from the earth and rock under our feet and small pieces are still trapped into it, really small but enough for this to happen, the steel from the underground room and your blade is much harder to truly do more with it then a yank since you elves are master craftsmen."

"So you are telling me you were the one that tore a hole through several inches of metal with a pulverized arm?"

"It was a bit needed for the situation I was in."

"Lin, you do things with elemental magic that only wild mages can... Could do, that's a lot of talent."

"Really?"

"Yes, on many fronts." I knew I adapted the blood magic and echolocation from Mystery's wild magic to my elemental one but no one but myself had pointed it out.

"Welp." I grabbed the coin and pocketed it. "Seems I am indeed special."

"Well get back the mud."

"Oh come on! I did it!"

"As long as you can't do it consistently you didn't do it."

"God I hate you."

"Come on, back to work."
