An Unexpected Teacher (Lessomm)

[Theur]

Theur had mixed expressions about Lessomm’s explanation and it showed on his face. He had no way of understanding what Lessomm had just said. All that he could comprehend was that it came from the inside and then you let it out. The thought sent a shiver up his spine; it seemed that shielding still scared the boy but if he ever wanted power that had change. With nothing to go on but that he began. Since his shield resembled liquid the closest, he imagined an orange wave coming off his hands; he felt a pulse. Immediately Theur broke off as a rush enveloped him. The boy felt waves underneath the skin of his hands. He breathed hard wondered if Lessomm noticed. Probably not Theur thought as Lessomm seemed deep in thought. For a while the two walked until Lessomm asked his question to which Theur shook his head to. Explanations can wait food would come soon but the boy wondered if Lessomm could explain. Theur began to see differences between the two. His mind wandered off to the first time he shielded, back in Sunberth a lifetime ago; Hazy memories and nothing useful. Digging deeper proved useless and gave the boy headaches. The two turned and the sight made the boy giddy with excitement; he knew this road. The promise of food; the promise of a decent meal possessed the boy as he bolted ahead of Lessomm. The first stall he visited was a fruit store grabbing in both hands two apples before jamming both against his face nearly choking. Lessomm! The boy remembered, he was with someone and as quickly as he left he ran back. Lessomm wasn’t too hard to find after all, Theur did just bolt in a straight line. Within two breaths the boy offered Lessomm an apple, regaining a bit of his composure. The apple was already bit into but as it rested on the boy’s hand extended, the boy’s grip tightened. Even if Lessomm were to grab the apple Theur would oonly tighten his grip even more; Theur wanted to show Lessomm something. He began reciting words softly almost mumbling to himself the words Lessomm himself uttered. Look inside and pull it out. Within the boy’s mind he imagined an ocean wave crashing on the surface of the apple only this wave came from his hands. As if responding to Theur’s wishes; he felt a pulse from the palm of his hand. The same rush he felt earlier; a good sign the boy thought now to let it out. Nothing there was no shield no orange ooze no nothing just a few more pulses on Theur’s part. Defeated he finally let Lessomm have his apple, Theur himself practiced again on his own apple taking a bite whenever his frustration peaked out; indulging in a sweet surrender each time. When the boy was down to the core and frankly going nowhere he turned to face Lessomm. Why can’t I see your shield? Theur asked. Even if Lessomm couldn’t answer or even if Theur couldn’t understand, he could atleast study one; a live shield.
