Baby Steps
The crises seem to get dangerous every second. Not knowing what to do, Eve lifts herself up to Hazel
Eve grabs Hazel as soon as she can reach her
Eve Gonzales
Haze! look at me
Eve shakes Hazel to wake her up
The very next second the wind stops, the room cools down and the room isn't shaking anymore.
Hazel falls unconscious, but Eve is holding her. Eve lands Hazel safely to the ground.
Eve Gonzales
Hazel wake up
Eve taps Hazel's face to wake her up, but Hazel doesn't move
Eve lifts Hazel up in her arms, grabbing her close to her chest.
Eve brings Hazel to the room where Opaha and Edgar are going through various books.
Edgar has his monocle on and looks up from a book that seemed really old to be in one piece
Eve Gonzales
We were training and she learned how to fly but then-
Opaha
It's okay Eve , calm down
Opaha
Lay her on the table, and tell us slowly
Eve Gonzales
I was teaching her to fly, she learned how to fly but that's when everything happened
Edgar Gonzales
What happened?
Eve Gonzales
What do you mean? the wind, the land, the rise in temperature
Edgar Gonzales
What? what are you talking about?
Eve Gonzales
The land began to quake, water started flowing through the cracks. The wind almost blew me off.
Edgar and Opaha looked confused
Eve Gonzales
Are you telling me, none of this happened here?
Opaha
Every soulster possess hidden makuto, their makuto is shaped in different forms
Opaha
Looking at how Hazel's makuto was restricted to the room she was in shows the lack of control she has on it
Opaha
For now let she rest, Ed take her to her room
Eve lifts Hazel up in her arms and carries her to her room
Opaha looks at Edgar confused
Edgar Gonzales
She is umm trying to make new friends
Opaha
Thats alright as long as she doesn't get too close to the fire
Edgar Gonzales
I'll take care of it
Eve lays Hazel down on the bed. Sits beside her
Eve Gonzales
I wonder what's going on with you
Eve lifts her hand to gently caress Hazel
Hazel Arden
*still in her sleep
mom, i am here
Eve's eyes soften with regret. She retreats her hand and rests it on her lap with closed fists
Eve Gonzales
I am sorry Haze
Eve walks out of the room
Eve Gonzales
Yea, why wouldn't i be
Edgar Gonzales
How is she?
Eve Gonzales
She's been blabbering in her sleep.
Eve walks out of the corridor
Edgar Gonzales
Where are you going?
Eve Gonzales
She created a mess in the basement while under my watch, i need to clean that up
Ed turns to look at Eve, his eyes wide open in surprise
Ed walks in and looks at Hazel, He pulls in a chair and sits beside her
Edgar Gonzales
looks like building the gate isnt the only thing you are capable of
There is a gentle smile on Ed's face
Edgar Gonzales
My sister who barely moved a finger for anybody else is downstairs cleaning up for you. No matter what she says, she is doing it for you. Too bad there wont be a happy ending
Ed gets up and leaves, closing the door behind him
Time has passed. Eve runs into Opaha on her way to the room after her training.
Opaha
Hazel has woken up you should-
Eve runs at once ignoring Opaha
Eve storms in to the room. Hazel is sitting on her bed with a cup in her hand, sipping it.
Hazel doesn't look up from the cup she is holding
Eve Gonzales
Are you sure?
Hazel Arden
Ed gave me this potion to feel better
Eve Gonzales
How long have you been up?
Eve Gonzales
Why didnt you call for me
Hazel Arden
Ed was here this whole time, he just stepped out. Opaha told me i could train again tomorrow. So there was no need
Eve Gonzales
There was no need?
Eve Gonzales
This whole thing happened under my watch and there was NO NEED to inform me? Do you know how it felt looking at you lose control and not know what to do?
Hazel puts her cup down and stands up to face Eve
Hazel Arden
Right! i couldn't learn anything today. I've delayed a day at meeting my purpose. Apologies Eve, i'll try better tomorrow
Hazel is clearly upset but there is nothing to talk to Eve who made herself clear a while ago
Hazel walks past Eve to leave the room. Eve grabs her wrist
Eve Gonzales
Is that what you think it is?
Eve pulls Hazel by her arm to make her face Eve
Eve Gonzales
You think its all about training i care about?
Hazel Arden
I think you've made it clear what you care about. There is no confusion there.
Eve Gonzales
Haze, I am sorry you feel that way, it wasn't my intention to-
Hazel looks down her eyes fixed to the ground
Eve Gonzales
Okay, i'll let you rest
Eve walks out of the room.
Hazel shuts the door behind her
Hazel regrets talking harshly to Eve. She rests her forehead against the door.
Hazel Arden
*whispers
Don't go
Eve walks to her room and shuts the door
Opaha calls for Eve from downstairs. As Eve walks down towards them Edgar looks at Eve with concern
Edgar Gonzales
Are you not keeping well?
Opaha
Its about the Soulster's new energy
Opaha
The previous soulster was a fire resu. Hazel has got the makuto of the wind,water,fire and earth. We must assume she has the makuto of the elements
Eve Gonzales
Of the elements? Arent there 5
Opaha
the 5th is possibly her soul that makes this possible
Opaha
An element resu is a rare soulster
Edgar Gonzales
Although Hazel has this strength, she doesn't know how to use it. Thats where we come it
Edgar Gonzales
Once she learns how to focus her makuto, the rest should be easy
Opaha
We don't have much time, everyone may start to panic if Hazel doesnt yield result
During this whole conversation, Eve is focused on the table.
Eve Gonzales
What happens after? Can there be another outcome
Opaha gives a gentle smile
Opaha
There hasn't been one yet. But it depends on the soulster. Even if she makes it out alive,she can't stay here in the land of the Sixir resus, she will have to return
