Rain also stood, and she merely laid the three kunai that Damon had handed her earlier, by the fire, as if she was trying to make sure that they would stay warm. Rain then walked toward the lake, and hesitated as she reached the edge of the lake.

"Okay... now how do I explain this... have you ever been in a car accident? No, not likely... but have you ever been in a situation where you were a passenger, and the driver had to slam on the brakes? Think about that. It feels like you're pushing everything you have to back up, even though you don't actually move, right?"

Rain nodded, "Yeah.. So.. I gather my energy and make it feel like its pushing me backwards though I don't move?" Rain asked, way beyond confused.

"No, that was just an example of using your energy without realizing it. You're not ready for water yet." He walked back onto land and over to a tree. "You'll just need to try running up this at first. At least, that's what we had to do. Think back to what the feeling is, and use that to gather energy in the bottom of your feet. Not so much a pulling away feeling, just a buildup of energy."

"Oh ok.." Rain muttered. This reminded her of the movie 'Matrix' in a way. Rain took in a deep breath, and relaxed, and she focused on the tree. She exhaled, and then raced at the tree, managing to go up about three feet, then falling on her back. Rain winced, as she stood again. She relaxed again, and went at it again and again, but she didn't seem to be getting any higher up.

"You're doing it for a few feet, at least. It will probably take you a while to master, since you have no formal training in the subject." He walked over and looked at the tree, walking up and down it to test it out. "Yeah, you just need a lot of control, which takes time to develop."

Rain frowned, this was harder than she had expected. Rain ran at the tree several more times, managing to go up about four feet, but no higher. "This is rather difficult.." Rain said.

"It took me a while to get it down, and I had the prerequisite training," he offered, watching her. "Just work on it a lot, and eventually you won't need a running start." He looked out toward the water. Where was the fairy?

Rain sighed slightly, "I think I'm done for the moment..." she said softly. It didn't show, but Rain was exausted, falling out of a tree alot of times took alot out of a person.

"That's fine," he said, "I wouldn't exxpect any more from you. Normally, a person would have been through a lot of training by now." A chilly breeze rushed past, and a thin half-dome of purple stone formed as a shield to devert the breeze. "Maybe we don't need the fairy anyway."

"We dont?" A puzzled look appeared on Rain's face.
((Sorry its so short, not exactly in the mood for length atm....))

"I've just been assuming she starts the transformation. But what if I just have to... like... go into the water and be judged or something? Maybe she's not showing up because I'm not ready yet, but I was so sure I am..." He furrowed his brow, his brain playing out possibility after possibility.

Rain stared at Damon, and she herself frowned. "Er, perhaps someone kidnapped her and we are to save her?" she offered, trying to lighten the mood somewhat. "Besides, I'm sure you're ready, you're more powerful than me, and a few other powerful people."

"Who's to say it's only about power, though?" he asked. "That's what the book made it sound like, but anyone could have scribbled that in. There could be a dozen things I have to do first." he ruffled his hair, starting to pace. He mumbled constantly to himself, though it was too low for one to pick up. He leapt up into the air, heading diagonally toward the lake. He flipped upside-down in the air and a purple weight formed above him. His feet planted firmly on it as gravity pulled it down enough to cancel out his force, and he pushed off, now heading for the water. The weight burst into air, giving him a major speed boost and sending him like a bullet into the water. ((All of this happened in a couple of seconds, I just wanted to be really descriptive. xDDD))

Rain blinked, and a 'what the hell just happened?' expression crossed her face. Rain crossed to the water and stared at it for a moment, and then she slowly walked in. Her sking tingled as the water enveloped it. Rain frowned, and increased her body heat.
