Subject: Then let me show you how to make the light yours...
In reply to: Noni 's message, "My night was invaded by light much too bright to ignore, the light that hides within even me." on 15:03:54 07/27/03 Sun

"I would call it bravery, not foolishness." The low tenor is rippling, like the current of a river that hides untold mysteries in its murky depths. Teal eyes remain half-lidded, watching Noni with a deliberate, calm gaze. "You have talent, and a greater store of energy within you than most Korats start out with. You will find that, with time and training, your willpower will control your energy so that it does not explode unless you wish it to do so." Despite the fact that he needs every iota of his own power to heal, Atumi raises a forehand and, controlling the flow of energy so that it might resemble what Noni experienced on her own, allows teal light to bleed from the ebony fur, casting a watery aura around the paw. "The most difficult part of energy training is getting it to emerge without bursting into flame. You've managed this already, so now all you must do is hone your mind to better control your strength."

The light flickers and vanishes, pulled back into the black paw, and Atumi drops furred brows in a pointed look. "Never try this again on your own until you have learned how not to harm others with it." A slight grin bares ivory fangs, "Using it aggressively is the easy part. It is the deft control that is necessary to master the strength within that is so difficult for most. A matter of exercising willpower, something that few are accustomed to in these days." A low chuckle preceeds his next words, "The trees will recover. Erashun is a healer of more than beasts, and in any case, I doubt you did more damage than Tew and myself so recently did. The land here can take a little beating once in a while to preserve the creatures upon it." Amusement shines briefly, quickly submerging under the coolness of control. "I will teach you how to use your energy and to control it, but first... prove to me that the explosion was not a simple fluke. Summon your energy to your paws and let it shine briefly, but do not shape it. I only want to see it, and then you can re-absorb it."
