“Children, my brothers’ have taught the basics of hunting and survival in the mild hazards of the surrounding desert. But on this, the third week of your development, I will be teaching you alchemy.”
One of the young stands up “mother, we need?”
“Yes child, it is an important part of our culture and what separates us in a not so small way from the animals that we eat. It can be used to make weapons,” she draws a small symbol in the sand and pours tiny amount of energy into it, and the sand assembles itself in to a simple stone dagger. “To walls” (larger symbol, more energy) a small wall forms between her and the young. “You may also destroy most things that block your way” plunging the dagger into the wall. Siccus notices a complex design incorporated into the dagger that once looked so crude, and a moment later the wall and dagger both dissolve back into sand.
“Now at this time you will not be able.” a freezing wind stops her thoughts, the children cry “Cold, mother, cold.”
Siccus, realizing “Oh, sorry about that. I really should stop regulating the temperature of the air around me if I intend to be in the same area as cold-blooded beings such as yourselves. Well since I’m here, where is that older woman I was speaking to before?”
“You are the one mother spoke of? I was thinking you would be older form the way she talked about you. She left a long time ago looking for the creatures you told her about, I do not know I what direction she traveled.”
“Oh.” Looking in all directions (as only one that can bend space do) he sees her in the east stalking a furred animal in a small forest not too far from the edge of a large mountain, though it was unclear if she was studying it or planning to eat it. There is no need to bother her at the moment. “Hmm, she may have trouble navigating those peaks if she continues in that direction. Well I think I’ve disrupted you class long enough. Don’t forget to work together kids and as always have fun.”
Turning from the map and not looking back Siccus pulls out a yo-yo and choosing a door at random walks out of the game room grinning widely.
