She nodded at his explanation of her problem knowing he was right. She would not have been able to do the advanced move if she had not tried to make something far away catch flame. she simply called the wrong element and learned what it could do than spent a long time fixing it to something she may be able to use. She formed a cage with her hands as he instructed and tried to focus some of the energy in the cage of her hands. 

For the first few minutes there was nothing. than a ball of fire formed. she quickly made it disappear and continued trying. She closed her eyes and cleared her mind than opened tham and tried to focus the energy in her hands. She was quite delighted to see a ball of electricity start to form in her hands. "Like This?"

Drae did not interrupt, nor did he step in to correct her. She was doing what she needed to, and it took a few moments before anything happened. This of course, was a different technique than what she was used to. At first a flame appeared, which was a very good sign. Fire and lightning often went hand in hand. All lightning was supercharged and super heated air, and fire was created by super heated air. Once one had a mastery of fire, it became easier to handle lightning, though it was a very fickle and dangerous element to try and toy with. Unlike most other elements, lightning had just as much a chance of coming back and harming the caster because the caster would open themselves up as a conduit for the energy. And if energy flowed the wrong way, it could be fatal. 

The fire began to spark in her hands until suddenly she was holding a ball of pure plasmic energy, that crackled and arced in her hands. Drae nodded in the affirmative. "That's it. Some people claim that Lightning is Fire's purest form, and I might be inclined to agree. It is also the most unpredictable and volatile of elements, and is most likely to bring the most immediate harm to the caster, and it will happen in the blink of an eye. It likes to take the quickest most direct route to a place, and sometimes, if done wrong, that can mean straight through your head, or straight through your heart, both of which are typically fatal," he warned her. He stepped back. 

"When weaving Galvanic energy with motion, you must be fluid and direct," he said as he demonstrated to her the motions most common for weaving electricity from magic. "But never let your motions cross your heart," he urged. "The current will be drawn there, and it will stop your heart dead. Send it through your shoulders and arms," he instructed. "Same goes for redirecting someone else's attack. You know you cross your heart when you make a promise? Lightning is NOT a promise."

she knew that the element was dangerous but never thought of it harming her. She was glad to have a teacher but was now a bit more nervous and started to tense a bit. Fluid and direct she said to herself than tried to copy what he did. She was not as fluent or direct and she quickly lost control of her ball of energy. Seeing she lost her control of it she quickly put it out. She took in a deep breath and slowly let it out trying to refocus. She than remade the plasma ball and tried again. She did a bit better but it still was a fail.

It was after all a learning process. Drae remained patient with Vinsue as she continued to practice the form of Galvanization weaving. She was doing well in the aspect that the plasma magic was coming to her a little more easily, as far as forming it, but the basic flow of being able to control it was still coming. And it was to  be expected. After all, very few people could master something immediately upon learning it. It would take a lot of practice, just as it had when she had been training with fire, if not moreso because it was not her first element. Magic at least came to her naturally. 

He raised his hands to her, indicating that she should stop, before he diffused the area of the electrical surge that lingered in the air. 
"Take a break," he instructed her, and indicated for her to sit down. "The more tired you get, the more likely you are to lose control," he warned. "Don't get too disappointed if you don't get this the first day," he said reassuringly. "Skills like this sometimes take years to master," he admitted. "I know mages who are still trying to learn control over elements, and I'll be frank with you, up until about… twelve or so years ago I couldn't do magic at all," he told her flatly.

Slowly she was getting the hang of it. she was a bit tired but she was focused on learning how to control her new element. She was glad to be wearing a simple brown robe with lose long sleeves which she had pulled up to show most of her arms. seeing the man raise his hands she put out the plasma ball she was playing with and gave him a questioning look as she felt the air lose its charge. her face changed as he said brake which meant he was not correcting her but telling her her body needed to rest before she got hurt.

She was not quite ready to stop for she felt like she was starting the hang of it yet she did not protest do to her body fully agreeing despite her will. She was a bit shaky which in itself was a sign she should have stopped a bit ago and was no doubt the reason she was told to rest. She thought it was funny the way her human four would sweat and the way the light shone on her snow white skin which was now a bit red. "Well at least now i have something to work with when i get back home and have extra time on my hands." she was glad to know know what she needed to do yet she was a bit disappointed to have not mastered more like she did with her fire. "Wow" she said it was hard to believe this man had been using magic less than a tenth of her life and was quite good at it. "I know this is a library and all but you would not happen to have something to drink and or perhaps eat would you."

"My dear, this may be a Library, but it is also a Temple, and therefore has living quarters and a fully stocked kitchen because I spend the majority of my time here," he chuckled. He lightly placed a calloused hand on her arm and they were instantly transported to the kitchens of the temple. 

"There we are," he said as he straightened his robes and motioned for her to take a seat on a nearby stool. "Now then," he said looking around, scratching his chin. "Ah yes, that should do," he said before he waved his hands around almost nonchalantly. Different foods flew through the air and began combining to create a light meal that would be tasty but was very specific to a dragon's diet and physiology. The completed meal landed on a plate that slid across the central wooden preparation counter to come to rest in front of Vinsue. The smell of the meal wafted up and held a touch of spice to it, which Drae complimented with a nice mug of ale that he filled by hand and placed down on the counter in front of the dragoness before he sat down, and a bowl of Abedian curry materialized in front of him. 

"Now, tell me, where do you hail from, Vinsue?"

She at first attempted to jerk away as his had touched her arm. She usually stayed away from people after she was freed when she was small. but she was quickly amazed as one room faded and a different room appeared. she took a seat as he looked around in thought. She at first watched him curious as to what he was doing then quickly noticed the flying food. She watched it combine and land on a plate that slid to her than looked back at Adraejen to see him pouring a mug and placed it in front of her. 

The smell made her mouth water and the ale was more than pleasing for it had been a bit since she had had a cup. She took a bite of the food. She liked the spice and flavor. She looked at him as he asked where she came from. she swallowed her bite before answering. "I do not actually know." it was truth as she was raised by a rich man that later kicked her out because she lacked her breath powers and could not fly. but that was years ago. "i was raised by a human tell i was 16 and was than kicked out of the house. ever since i have wandered about." she than took a sip of the ale and put the glass back down. "And you?"

"Unfortunately, my dear, you story is not a wholly uncommon one," Drae said with a sigh as he took a sip of his own drink. "Creatures such as yourself are often kept as high class pets, until something proves you to not be what your so called masters want," he said. "I know of a young Phoenix who suffered very similarly," he explained. 

He looked amused when Vinsue asked about his background. "Me? Hell, that's not interesting. I came from Sidhiel, before anyone remembered it as Sidhiel," he said. "Grew up a half-breed in a purist society, and it bothered me. So I left when I was barely a teenager and went to live and work in Iria, where I excelled in the illegal trade business," he told her. "Didn't have a shred of real magical talent, not until I had reached adulthood and made a pact with a dangerous demoness in order to get back at the business partner who double-crossed me and tried to kill me," he said, giving the very general story. "The power she gave me ignited my dormant blood, and I was able to use magic from that point on," he said. "I got my revenge, I lived a dubious life as a scoundrel, and then I met Angela, the Goddess of Life, courted her, had a son with her, married her, and adopted her youngest children as my own. And then poof, one day the World Tree and the Voice decided that I needed to become the second  Parvporan deity in this century," he chuckled.  "Now I am here, trying to properly split my time as the Keeper of the Keys and Secrets of Knowledge and the Arcane and husband and father to Life," he chuckled. "There has certainly never been a dull moment."

She listened to hem talk of how her story was not uncommon but that was just the beginning. she than listened to his story as she ate. she knew how a lot of it felt for she was known to cause trouble and many want her life. and love was a funny thing that can bring joy and scar as she learned when her love passed away in a fight. She smiled at his last statement. "Guess not with those types of responsibilities." she said and took a sip of her drink. 

The meal was nice and refreshing. she sat the empty cup down. "Ray ,my master's brother, killed him the next day and blamed me for his sudden disappearance. and many believed him which led to them hunting me. needless to say i learned defence and attack quickly and was relieved the day I learned he died." she said "Then i started helping free those imprisoned and enslaved witch upset others. wich means if im not careful i end up in big truble. I was glad to learn to fight and it had saved me many times. but i enjoy knowledge and was in a library the day i discovered my second element. it destroyed 3 books and hurt a man that sat on the other side of the table and that also got me to look for help controlling it. since there were no helpful books there i thought if there was any they would be hear. and i am thankful for the help." she said than crossed her arms on the table then laid her head on top of them. between the meal and the training she was tired and needed to sleep.

Drae listened in interest, and slowly sipped his drink as he listened to her story. It sounded as though a lot of trouble had been gone through to frame Vinsue for the death. He had to admit he was impressed by her force of will to go back and help free others that were living in the same servitude. He could quite honestly say he wasn't sure if he would have done the same. And frankly, she wasn't wrong. Often times being a freedom-fighter of sorts often caused a lot of problems in one's life if their identity wasn't kept secret. That was every so called 'vigilante's' bane. 

"I'm impressed. Not many would go back to risk helping others. That makes you a singularly brave dragoness. Though, by the same token, you are in fact a Dragon and therefore very little actually poses a threat to you, unless you are in your smaller more vulnerable form as you are now," he commented. "I'm glad that you managed to make your way here, and that I could offer you some assistance in your learning," he said. It wasn't lost on him how tired the dragoness was, and he quirked his head to the side. 

"I tell you what. It is clear that you need more practice, and this place is the most conducive, and probably the safest place for you to practice. So, until you get a hold on your abilities, why don't you stay here in Tar Eisalae? I do have small rooms for those who come here for extensive study. I think you might find them quite comfortable," he offered. "You would be able to come and go as you please until you decide otherwise. What do you say to that?" he asked.
