Training

Feet were bare like they almost always were as the young woman walked through the trees. She liked feeling the dirt and the grass beneath her feet, and besides, it was easier for her to walk that way. Her hands held her two metal fans and she looked ahead of her as she went on her way.

She had to learn how to make her powers stronger and control them better. She had to find the right area to practice in, though, since probably have this forest wouldn't do her any good.

This just kept getting stranger and stranger for her. Alexel sighed, blowing her bangs out of her face as she exhaled. "And why do you need to do that?" she asked him. Alexel had never really understood why people needed to meditate...
