Chapter 6: Up The Mountain (2/2)
I reorganizedto explain in steps what I did
"It's a si to Mr Krensh's right side, I placed ht foot forward as the last step before the feint There I instantly focusedbehind right, ai mana into my left foot this tiht so that I don't propel o to"
That was a mouthful
I looked around to see Ada to test out what I just explained
When I turned back to face Jas as well
Mother sat down next to entle sela ca my face, or rather , "Cute AND talented aren't you? Why couldn't you have been born earlier so that this sister could snatch you up herself!"
Blushi+ng, I willed myself away froravitational pull Those…weapons were dangerous
My guardian angel, Durden, was a lot calave ht passed as the four idiots spentto master the feint step while I slept in the tent with Mother

A couple of days passed as we finally ed to make it to the foot of the Grand Mountains, which, by the way, sure lived up to its naed to lay down her pride and ask me for some clarification on the feint step I went over it slowly, explaining what the tiht foot and the left foot should be and how to properly balance the output ofThe whole tietting bigger as they tried to suck in the infor mental notes
The first one to succeed was Jasuess it was true
She pulledreading and writing lessons on the back of the carriage with mother and asked me to watch
We had to take a ses wouldn't leave us behind After successfully de! You learned it so quickly!"
It's one of theto tell her that
She responded curtly saying, "It was nothing", but the upward curvature of her lips and the slight, proud twitch of her nose showed otherwise
Haha, she's happy
By the time we had arrived at the foot of the Grand Mountains, all four of the idiots htly to fit their own fighting style
The next step of the journey was ascending up the es wide that circled around the ate at the top
The front carriage included Durden, holding the reins in the front, with father besides hie Helen was currently seated on the top of the second carriage, the one I was riding in, scouting for any abnore with uard While Jas how she turned her head back and stared at? Every tiaze, she quickly turned her head back to the front
Is she five?
Speaking of age, I turned 4 on the first leg of our journey to the foot of the Grand Mountains I don't knohen Mother prepared a cake, or where she even put it (or if it's even edible!), but I didn't co saveor a pat on the back, Jasmine surprised , "Present"
A she cares! I' up
Fortunately, our journey up the mountain was rather uneventful I spent a lot ofto find more discrepancies between mana and ki So far, it seee could take on the property of eleinners ere able to dabble in this, it wasn't as distinct as what you ht see when conjurers casted spells, but more like the quality of each distinct ele he has an innate compatibility with fire, would have mana that showed an explosive quality when used Water would naturally have a sid quality Finally, Wind would have the quality of a sharp blade
That's strange Back into do with elements, but rather depended on how you utilized your ki Shaping the ki into points and edges would give it the so called "wind elele point and bursting it at the last ive it the "fire element" and so on Sure, practitioners had preferences and were naturally better at practicing one style o as far as to say it was rare Only thethe body and weapons
I would have to test this withstuck in a 4 year old body with constant supervision by suspicious adultson when suddenly, Helen's alar in my ears
"BANDITS! PREPARE TO ENGAGE!" she shouted, as a ruht and rear
"Subather you around in protection Wind Barrier!" Instantly I feel a gust of wind forust bent into a sphere around us
Angela was holding out her wand, concentrating on keeping the barrier active while arrows constantly boet redirected to a different direction
Myher body froh Thankfully, her efforts didn't see
In a e was torn to shreds and I get a better view of the situation at hand
We were completely surrounded
