In the depths, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a ghastly beast battles a subnautic machine and it's crew. In her imagination, Ciara could here the splintering of metal and chaos of the fight. After a moment of thought Ciara realized she was actually hearing crashes and bangs. She closed the book and looked across the dim lot to where Her brothers were making limestone and mortar puppies. Having no interest in Aedan's lesson to Alistair on how to make realistic animation, Ciara lit her hand up again to read. Just after returning to Captain Nemo's endeavors, Ciara was rudely interrupted by a dachshund that looked like it was sculpted by a four year old in an arts and crafts class for the blind. Her book was wrenched away and dragged off by the mineral hound and on to the sidewalk that neighbors the stony lot. The sun was setting and Ciara just wanted quiet relaxation. Frustrated, Ciara made attempts to retrieve her novel from the sudo-dogs jaws. It took it as play and became more excited and playful with each step she took. By now, Ciara had already brought the chase into the sidewalk, where she remained with her focus trained on Rocky. She slowly stepped towards it with her hand outsretched. Her palm still contained the three dots of light which she was using to read. She lunged forward. The poorly formed pup advanced at the same time. Rather than getting a hold of classical literature Ciara found herself gripping for air. Momentum carried her forward where she tripped over the boulderous animal and fell into a poor bystander.

James walked down the sidewalk, in truth he was a bit lost, STUPID BOY!, he sighed, of course the Shadow was always ranting at him and everything around him, of course no one else could here it. He mentally screamed at it to shut up, YOUR CORPSE WILL ROT BEFORE ME.

He turned a corner rubbing his temples, he had just wanted to get out, explore the city, but no, that parasitic....thing had to ruin it with his homicidal rants. He hadn't been long sense this thing got bonded to him but in that short time he'd learn to despise the Shadow with a passion.

As he turned another corner, a girl landed on him. Having lived on the streets most of his life, his body had built up reflexes. He wrapped his arms around her to keep her frim falling and adjusted his legs to balance them, "you ok?"

Ciara froze. A stranger had there arms around her. "Get off," she said as she shook them off. "I just want my book from that little f-" she remembered her promise to cleanse vocabulary. "Fiend." Ciara pointed at the Stone Puppy that had now taken up a playful stance, wagging its nub of a tail. She started muttering under her breath in an Irish lilt, and took a little pouch off her Belt. Ciara removed a stick of chalk and drew a pointed triangle with a few circles inside. "You may want to step back," she said half turning towards the stranger. "or Not."

He raised an eyebrow as the girl shook him, he turned and saw the focus of her anger, and stane dog. He squinted at the living statue, the supernatural was very new to him so the statue surprised him, "what the hell."

He watched as the girl made some chalk markings in the concrete and advised him to step back, he nodded abd did so, PATHETIC ALCHEMISTS....I'LL DEVOUR HER SOUL. James' lip twitched in anger at this, it was annoying when the Shadow threatened him, it straight up pissed him off when he threatened others, he mentally mocked the creature with its amnesia, it screamed in anger, James was going have a very bad headache when this was over. He looked to the girl trying to ignore the Shadow, "what are the marks for?"

Ciara finished, closing the largest circle. Near instantly after, a paper thin slice of the ground sprouted from the center of the circles edge and extended close to a meter and a half out. The dog was in halves, with Jules Verne beside it. Ciara closed a smaller internal circle and the ground flattened again. "Aw come on Cay. Toby was my best one." was heard across the lot.

James raised an eyebrow as a this piece of the ground sliced the statue in half. A small shadow tentacle emerged from his back and scratched his head DISGUSTING HUMAN USING MY POWER THAT WAY! he ignored the Shadow and picked up the book and handed it to her. "Interesting ability you have there," of course he didn't know what real alchemy was, the supernatural was still very new to him.

"It's nothing but fancy drawings and science." Ciara kneeled, dusted her book off and started to look at the surface of the dog. It was covered in faint etching. Each line acted like magical circuitry that powered the construct. Ciara traced it and tried to place exactly how each mark worked. "This," She lit up her thumb tip to see in the faint light. "Is more of an ability."

He cocked his head, in truth he knew little of either science or magic, he was just now going to school for the first time in his life. He leaned forward a bit and looked at her thumb as it glowed, the shadow tentacle on his back slowly moving side to side, "what does it do?"

Ciara was used to people around here at least piecing what she did together. Conventional alchemy and Gailege alchemy didn't look too different. "The signs on the ground are like a magical machine that can be broken down into very basic parts, marks and lines. Marks do things, lines carry magic around. I can do things that marks can do, but only simple things," Ciara explained. "like make light or apply force." She held her thumb, index, and middle finger together. By snapping her fingers she made a little flame over her thumb.

"Whoa!" considering what the Shadow allowed him to do, you'd think he wouldn't be impressed, but he couldn't create flames, PATHETIC WORMS! the shadow was of course angry that he wasn't the center of attention at the moment.

"You must be able to do some amazing stuff."
