Remembering Power

A thundering crash echoed within the trees, birds and small rodents running away from it's source. Diam stared down at his small fingers as he flexed them, a vexed look flashing across his features for a moment. Before him rested a large boulder, the dust still settling from when it fell back to the ground. "Only about three inches off the ground. Truly I have grown lax." He said for the benefit of no one.

Several thin, silvery wires encircled the boulder in deliberate fashion. The strands converged on two points, the space between them a comfortable reach for Diam to leverage against the rock. The young vampire had traded his usual formal garments for a more practical track suit.

The luminescent eyes of the child glanced up at the stars finding their way into the sky, the light of the sun fading further over the horizon. He might have sighed at the possibility of a long night had he not already resigned himself to the fact. Once more Diam tangled the wires in his hands, the metal and stone creaking as it released it's hold on the ground once more.

@Saber

Diam glance back at the new arrival as he dropped out of the trees. He settled the large rock back onto the ground, the settling quieter this time, but still audible. His eyes drifted over the individual, studying him carefully before continuing the conversation.

"It is no imposition." He untangles his hands from the wires, standing straight and turning to face Leandro. "I was simply attempting to remember something. What is it that brings you out to the woods tonight? The rare explorer is few and far between in these hours."

Diam turned his form to follow Leandro as he maneuvered around the smaller vampire. A respectful caution awarded to the younger man. Diam glanced over to the boulder and pressed a hand against it.

"There was a time I knew the method of unlimiting my body. It has been quite long now since I wished to use it. I do not recall the finer motions of it."

He turned back to Leandro, his otherworldly stillness once more taking hold of his body. "You are not wrong. Though I do not know if I prefer your description. It lacks elegance."

"Such tedious things grow boring. I find books and knowledge of much more interest the longer I walk this world."

Diam slid an arm under the wires again, turning his attention back to the boulder. "This is why the technique is important. If I carried the necessary muscle it would be simple. Because I do not, I must remember."

His arm tensed, his brow furrowing as he once again exuded pressure on the boulder, raising it off the ground once more. it climbed higher this time, but not by much, reaching maybe a foot off the ground before her placed it back down and resumed his contemplation.
