Second Lesson **Private RP**

[Alex Magoro]

Alex thought for a moment. He really did want to learn this. But he was scared that Sanaki might get hurt in the process. He was also scared for himself, although he wouldn't admit it.

"If you're comfortable teaching me this magic, then we'll do it. If not, then it's no big deal. So you decide."

[Sanaki]

Sanaki rolled his eyes at being forced to choose.....once again but none the less it was a good style of magic to know if one was ever caught in a pinch so why should he not teach it? "Alright then if its my choice then we're going to learn it, however to learn this you'll need all of your concetraction on this and nothing else let me know when you think you're ready" he said crossing his arms over his chest.

[Alex Magoro]

Alex nodded briskly, a little scared. But he closed his eyes anyways and cleared his mind, fully concentrating and the task ahead.

After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and nodded at Sanaki, awaiting his next instructions.

[Sanaki]

Sanaki took a long breath more to calm himself and ease his nerves he was worried for the kid but none the less he promised to teach him everything he knew, another long breath and he was ready "Okay...its like this" he held out his arms and palms like he was protecting himself from something, slowly he clenched his hands into something that looked like claws "This magic is something you do i suppose you'll know you have it once you get an uneasy, you have to imagine manipulating it to your will having control over it wishing it to turn....grey".

As if on cue a nearby tree and Sanaki's hand grew grey "once you have it you can ease your hands and have control over it" he tilted his right and tree followed suit, or bend its mass, he closed his fist slowly and tree slowly folded it in on itself then reversing the process the tree also followed. "you can destroy or repair...but it goes for you too" he finally tree the back down exhausted "and that's...how its done" he finally finished.

[Alex Magoro]

Alex began doing exactly as Sanaki had showed him, making sure to mimic his actions perfectly. He concentrated, and after a few minutes, he saw the leaf he was doing the magic on begin to turn gray. Then he looked at his hand and saw it too was turning gray, just as Sanaki said it would. But he got scared, and lost concentration, his hand turning back to normal.

"T-that's a little frightening..." he said breathlessly.

[Sanaki]

"it will always be frightening, but you do get use to it so it is only a matter of time before it becomes quite normal, also I'm here so you don't have to worry, i won't let anything hurt you boy, i am your mentor after all" Sanaki chuckled slightly, "you mustn't panic though luckily when you did it this time it canceled out but next time you may end up hurting someone or yourself, you need to keep calm" Sanaki lectured. "Now, how about we try it again" he smiled brightly hoping the kid wouldn't be so nervous this time.

[Alex Magoro]

Alex nodded as Sanaki talked, taking in everything he was saying. Then, he took a deep breath, and tried again. Using his eyes to bring a leaf to eye level, he focused on it, willing the magic to come to him again. He was a lot calmer this time, and didn't panic so much when his hands began turning gray, along with the leaf. He continued concentrating, and when when the leaf was completely gray, made his hand into a fist and stared in awe as the leaf crumbled right before his eyes.

[Sanaki]

Sanaki nodded approving but not wanting to break the lad's concentration but decided praise was in order after all it took him months to use it where is his student just used it in complete control in just a matter of minutes, "see? not so bad once you have the hang of it" Sanaki smiled.

[Alex Magoro]

Alex grinned. "Yeah, not so bad. Still terrifying though," he said with a laugh, then looked at Sanaki, awaiting his next instructions.
