"It would have worked a lot better if you keep it fueled. but the bigger one will likely get you hurt." she said before taking her flame under her control. "Try again. just keep it fueled." she said and watched as she again tried so that she could give her hope. it would remain strong just the distance it traveled would depend on the girl.

Synthesis took Vinsue's advice and reduced the size of her fireball. She focused on fueling it before tossing it forwards. To her immense joy, the fire did not diminish as it soared towards a nearby tree. It hit with a hiss and a cloud of smoke, which dissipated to reveal a charred circle of bark in its wake, just inches bellow where Vinsue's own mark was.
Keeping her arm and wrist loose was difficult, but not as difficult as sufficiently fueling the fire while remaining mentally flexible and trusting it to fly from your hand rather than stop with it. Synthesis was thankful that it was more of a mental challange than a physical one, however, given her physical weakness was probably her greatest.
She squealed with exitement and pleasure.
"Gosh, thank you!" She exclaimed, "I feel like a real sorceress now! I swear, I'll practice every day."
She summoned another glob of fire and almost threw it but stopped herself. She decieded against getting to overconfident with fire when there was plantlife around which could get seriously damaged. She expected even now that poor tree was mirabley beginning to rebuild its bark that they had broken. She extended her mind towards it and offered a small amount of her own meager energy as compensation which the tree automatically took without remorse or gratitude.
The druid looked to Vinsue again. "Is there anything you want to do while we've stopped?"

She smiled as she watched the girl get excited. "You did good." she said then watched as the girl almost did it again then stopped. She never talked to the trees but she fet the girl felt bad for hurting one.

"no im good but i feel we should avoid that barn." She could fill that something in it was a harm or threat and decided that they should get going. the town was not far and neither was the dark of night.

Synthesis nodded. She hadn't payed the barn too much attention before as it had looked innocent enough. Now she felt wary of it. She didn't quite understand how dragon senses worked but they seemed to pick up on something that normal people couldn't. The druid wasn't the most observent person in existence by a long shot but she did notice that Vinsue didn't seem very relaxed and was looking around almost agitatedly. Something seemed to be upsetting her. Was it the barn?
"We'll avoid it for sure then," Synthesis assured the other, "But can you be a bit more specific in why its bad? I'm just curious is all and I'm assuming this has something to do with you being a dragon?"

"Im not sure what's so bad about it it just gives me a bad feeling like it's a trap or something in it may try to attack." she said again looking about. nothing stirred and nothing seemed to have unnatural movements. she turned got up and started walking after Synthesis got to her feet. she wanted to get to town before sundown.

"and it's more a predatory instinct, wolves and other predators alftan have the ability to sense danger." she said. before long the city was in view. the city gave her a simuler filling but she hid it this time and ignored it. the sun now painted the sky red as it was disappearing. she put her hood up so it would hide her face from anyone that might recognize her and want to cause trouble.

Synthesis nodded at the dragon's hazy explanation. She had to admit she had suspected as much in responce, though it didn't help to sate her curiosity. She resisted any urge to investigate and followed Vinsue's lead in the direction on the Island's main city.
Synthesis had arrived via a tiny rowing boat which she had payed a middle-aged fisherman to transport her on. She knew nothing of the place they were headed and therefore counldn't understand why in the middle of the afternoon she could see a darkness blacker than night shrouding the city's buildings from clear view. She couldn't understand it. She wondered, did Vinsue see the same thing as her? Was she hallucinating?

Vinsue could since that the dark aria was also throwing the girl for a loop but kept walking. the city was not far and she knew that some type pf magic had to be used to make the city that way,
