Training [Ninja]

Ronan had whisked Arthur away for the day. Josh was busy with his cohort and trying to get the new centurion broken in. Nick was on a date with Kaylee. Of course Edmund was being Edmund and building something to hide his obvious feelings of internally screaming. So really what was a nymph to do to pass the hours? Reading was always an option, she'd found a new author she liked, so that was nice. For now a goal she wanted was learning how to control her powers. Someone from third cohort made her remember how powerful a gust of wind could be. She was a spirit of wind, so supposedly she could have that same power. There was also the messaging, and the teleportation. Luckily she had previously been a daughter of Trivia, powers like this where pretty common. Not the messaging. That was new, and so was the flying. Still she figured she was in a better boat than others.

In the middle of a large open area, somewhere far off the road without yet hitting the forest, was a girl poofing in and out of existence. The sun was low, not yet lunch and winds touched only lightly at the leaves so the warmth of the sun leant for a warmer winter day. Standing her ground Rhiannon took a breath, and shifted her weight. Willing herself to be in the space three meters away. With only the sound of a gentle breeze she was there, no sickness. No headache, just a good amount of energy taxes leaving her breathing heavier. Not to mention she over shot her goal by about ten feet diagonally. Partially up in the air she slowly planted her feet on the ground again. Again she disappeared to reappear a few meters away. Her breathing heavier, and it was getting a bit harder to keep her feet on the ground. Idey bobbing up and down in place.

Now this was a workout! She was going to prove that she still had what it took to be a camper. Okay, she was to old to be a camper but she was willing to serve her time in the Legion. There really wasn’t anything else for her out there so she was going to do this. If war came she would be ready and nothing would take her by surprise. Today she had been at you guessed it, the archery range. She’d used up her supply of arrows today and well once they were gone she was done with her practice. There was only so many times she could shoot things and not expect her arrows to break. Maybe she’d drop by the armory and see if she could get some better ones, maybe made of metal so they last longer.

After having spent so long out training she decided that she needed some time alone, no she wasn’t training alone like you’d think. She helped with the new kids who needed to be trained on the bows. It was the duty of the older people here to help train the younger generation to be romans, real romans who were ready for any threat that came up. So, she headed out to the woods in search of a peaceful place to meditate.

That’s when she spotted the woman who was deep in the woods practicing. What was this kid up to? Her eyes widened when she noticed the girl was teleporting from place to place. Though she was only going short distances, whose kid was this? At least she would have kept questioning herself until she moved closer to the girl. Wait one second. “Rhia, is that really you?” She had heard tales that Rhia was dead but now she was alive? What in the bloody mess was going on here?

Rhiannon was a breeze, a gust of wind, her teleportation unlike that she had ever attempted before. Teleportation was something closer to willing yourself to be there, to exist in a different place. At leas that's what she had encountered before. That was the teleportation she had used for her circles, and was based on the feeling she got while traveling with Joshua. This power, it was simply air and wind displacing her. It was more smooth, and far less of a headache than she had before. In the most literal of senses, teleportation could hurt your head so much you might start hemorrhaging. Not pleasant. This type was so very different, and it felt so natural. Perhaps because she was a cloud Nymph now. Powers over air, and even her being was light as air. Strange things. Strange things.

A brooding dark woman appeared as she practiced, the nymphs chest rose and fell as heavy breaths came one after the other. Her heart thumping fast from her practice. "Yes? Can I help you?" Rhiannon was terrible at keeping up with people, and names. Not only that but the world started to go a bit slanted on her, literally. She was tired, and her grounding was not perfect. So her body began to tilt sideways, as her feet floated lightly above the ground. The once dead girl gave a heavy sigh and closed her eyes to concentrate on righting herself. "Oh, yeah." she said as her eyes again fell on the woman now in front of her. "Why am I not dead right?"
