Lightning Harness

"Fifty-seven next moon." He replied. She snickered. "What?" He looked at her blankly, and she stuck her tongue out. "I'm three-hundred and fifty-five years old, kid. I would hope I'd learned something about fighting in that time."}

He stared at her for a moment, reaching up to rub his very sore jaw now. "355? Well, you crone, you look good for your age!" he guffawed, and snot another playful orb of lightning at her. She caught it, adding two and started juggling.}

"Now, there's one last attack I can teach you, and it's the strongest. Now you get to learn how to actually cause a lightning bolt to come down and strike your enemy." He explained. She absorbed the electric orbs and looked at him.}

"We're going to focus on that dummy over there. Think of the electricity forming over your enemy, group it together over them- that's it, now send a lash of power out to it and make it explode in a line up and down."}

Kaylin did so, grouping the sparks very carefully before sending another shock of energy into it, setting it off like a bomb. It stabbed both upward and downward, taking out both the dummy and a light in the high ceiling above.}

The lightning master grinned. "Do it again." He commanded, pointing to a new target across the large gym.}

Kaylin did, but this time, she could gather more, faster, like she had when learning to charge small orbs and she threw her shoulders forward and braced her legs as she sent that jolt of power into the grouping of energy. Thunder boomed as the lightning struck, and successfully turned the dummy into a smoking pile of debris and ash.}

"Congratulations." The lightning master said, clapping slowly. "There is nothing more I can teach you. I hope to hear of your growing abilities in the future." Kaylin bowed formally before walking over to the waiting Brandon. "We can leave now." She said with a grin, pleased at her new element. It felt good to have worked and earned something. She slid her hand into his and waved goodbye to the teacher, who smiled and nodded in return. Her shoulder still hurt from being zapped, but she would survive. She'd be healed after a feeding, maybe two at most.}

[Brandon]

Brandon rubbed his shoulder a bit after he gently took Kaylins hand with his other one. "That was awfully fast... How did you learn it so... quickly?" He asked, more surprised at his mates instant progress of obtaining the new element. Even he was not that fast, although he was the master of every element, aside from Light.

"Well, Congratulations" He said, as he gently kissed her cheek. "I knew you could do it."

[Kaylin]

<sub>Kaylin grinned wider. "Maybe I've just got more talent than you," she replied, reaching behind herself to grab the end of her braid. She tugged the ribbon out and let her hair fall free, shaking her head to loosen it and let the mocha curls tumble down over her shoulders. "When we get back to the Manor, maybe we can spar and see just who is the best at zapping the other." She continued with a playful gleam in her eyes.

"Oh pish posh..." He said, as he smiled. He liked the idea of sparing, as he closed his eyes, and focused his energy back to Earth, to her Manor. And within a moment, they suddenly would vanish from jupiter, back to Earth.
