2nd Of Fall 513 AV


It was his second day on this petching island, and he'd managed to carve himself out a small little place to call home. What he needed to do was not study but rather practice, he had to prove himself to be worthy of an apprenticeship and he'd have to work hard to gain a rank.

He didn't have a fancy personal magic that could read minds, or blow elements out of his arse. Or create doorways into parallel universes. No the only thing Morvale could do was be fast and while it was just about the only thing he excelled at this.

It was time for him now to discover how to apply techniques, his combat skills were laughable but he'd have time to improve upon this as well. The idea was to try and synchronize flux and acrobatics. He had a clearer understanding of control, and he'd try a sprinkling on his evasive foot work. After all a little spice was nice but to much and Morvale might find himself on that nasty bucket which he was hoping to avoid as long as possible.

So in a standing position he began to channel out this flux energy, as he did this he could feel the generation of energy within his chest. It was a minor amount at best as he sought to harness the power. He took a moment and twisted his elbows driving the flux in his hips and as it flowed through his hips they gyrated in a in a twisting motion as the surge of energy spiraled down his leg. The idea was to throw himself into a side stance, it almost worked but he under estimated himself and his leg shot out further then he expected sending him reeling into his bed.

In a state of fall he took the opportunity to react in that split second, His fragile joints such as the knees, wrists, and neck would be protected from collision by tucking and reorienting his body in a twisting motion to steer himself clear of a nasty impact, this motion would allow him to land on the broad side of his arms and back on impact with the ground. The collision resonated through the meaty muscles of his back he slapped his arms to disperse and absorb the impact and prevent him from splitting the back of his skull open on the floor.

He was lucky he hadn't caught the edges of stone slab they called a bed

This petching thing was within his grasp just a little polish, he would pick himself up again.

After that

He decided it was time to stretch out, standing on one leg he braced his hand on the wall for balance. His hand reached down so he could grab his ankle and pullback gently, he let the process go for about a minute on each side. That was the big thing about doing stuff like that, it kept him on good shape and health. But it helped loosen him up, it was both beneficial to channel the flow of flux through him. And being loose allowed less chance to hurt himself when performing acrobatic feats. It was both a beneficial and preventative measure.

When he finished he let both his feet touch the floor and did some hip twisting, wasn't exactly something fancy but it did apply. Last thing he needed was to blow out his groin or shatter his hip.

After this it was time for another stretch, he brought his elbow over his head and with his adjacent hand too hold and pulled back on it. A minute interval followed with the changing of his arm.

When completed he stretched out his two arms and pulled back with the muscles of his back. He didn't want to throw his back out either, a good complete stretching regiment was not only necessary but in his opinion critical to personal safety and applying flux to its best potential.

It would seem his next step was to try this again, he wasn't the smooth super fast cool guy he wanted to be when his test came upon him. Oh no he was anything but although he'd be able to fumble himself off the stage and be laughed off the island no problem though.

So it was back to square one, he assumed the position.

So in a standing position he began to channel out this flux, he could feel it amassing but no longer in as broad an area as his chest. It was a minor tweak amount to take in less energy in his hips, that would be key just a touch less for even greater control. The idea had not changed he wanted to throw himself into a side stance. This time when he applied the technique the energy he'd built up in his his torso shot out traveling easier through the stretched muscle fibers. His quickness snapped as his foot whipped back, less power meant more control and his foot landed behind him allowing him to pivot into his side stance. It took him a moment to gain his bearings and balance, but this was a much better he succeeded although his footing was off a little and caused a problem with his balance.

He could work with this though, it was invigorating that rush of moving like an a whirring arrow.

Kinematics And Agility

Those two things seemed to go hand in hand with Flux and it was time too see if he could somehow use these principals.

Reaction time was critical

So he returned himself to the original stance, and began training himself. It was the same idea but with acrobatics he was learning about his hips and legs trying to improve his coordination. He'd been successful last time but barely, this simple move required patients and a resolve to adequately apply it. So he'd swing the leg behind him and bolt into a side step, when complete he'd assume the original stance and attempt it on the other side.

As much as this was simple it was critical, that one foot placement could allow him to evade an adversary's blade, spell or whatever nasty surprise they had in store for him.

But the trick of it was, they couldn't hit him if he wasn't thee anymore and that's precisely what that one simple unordinary movement did. He'd practice without the flux before attempting it again.

Even though he managed to pull it off, he had done so just barely.

He would not be satisfied until he could do this with some level of grace.

As he discovered while making these movements that there was a balance between speed reflex and timing.

When he felt he was ready he began to focus on the flux energy, he could feel the build up of kinetic energy as it danced around the nerves of his muscle fibers in tingling sensation of sorts as he readied himself to try again. Just like before he concentrated on his hips that pivot from his torso to his legs was the critical junction that would make or break the movement. Well stretched his body was ready, a deep breath as he readied himself before pushing the energy down. His hips steered in release as the energy bolted down to his leg, proper timing came into play as his body shifted in a dizzying thrust as his leg planted itself behind him. This time he had balance and he was stable. This was better, a major improvement.

A potent package of agility, staggering kinematic and precise timing allowed for a state of grace in the maneuver.

Pleased in his ability to step with flux, he would call it a day.

There was no need to push himself with flux as doing so could be bad for his health.
