"Where are we going to train?" I asked standing up and pulling my hand from Lesha's.
"Over on the deck, don't worry you can wear a coat to keep the rain off you, but this way I don't need to throw things at you, the waves and rain will be more than enough," Braum said with a big face splitting grin that made feel very uncomfortable.
"Are you coming with ?" I asked Lesha looking down at her.
"No, I am starting to get a headache so I think I will go lay down. Plus, it's miserable out there, I don't even know why you are going. You should co take a nap with !" Lesha said with a suggestive smile, but for once I had to be the tease.
"No, I have had plenty of rest over the last few days, and learning how to control my Mana will be important for everyone in the future. Plus, you said before that we will be ho later so...AWK!"
The witch grabbed the sides of my waist and dug her fingers into , making my left that horrible squawking noise. So much for trying to play the tease, and I tried to round on her, but she was already out the door.
I looked over at the n, and they all were trying to look away from . I could see them trying to hold this laughter back with their eyes bulging, and I sighed.
"Go ahead laugh it up before you all hurt yourselves," I said, and on command, the three n start to laugh like wild animals.
"K, what kind of bird call was that? I have never heard a bird make that noise," i said giggling.
I walked over and took her by the hand and then glared at the n, letting my eyes heat just a little bit. They glowed from my anger, and if I only let a bit out I could control them, but it was hard, and all the n shut up right away.
Braum looked a bit troubled by my eyes, but ti spoke up right away.
"It's part of her power, when she gets mad, they glow and that was barely even lit up so don't worry. If the room turns blood red, well you're probably already dead, but you're a friend. Miss K is just telling us to stop pissing around," Tim explained to Braum as he stood up, patting him on the shoulder. "Just stay on her good side, it's a pretty good place to be if you get in a pinch."
"Well, I see and learn sothing new every day, but those are so scary eyes you got there. I will do my best not to bug you too much, but when we get up top, I'm gonna need you to listen to , because this won't be fun. I just don't want one of those red eyes glares out there in the storm with the other n around. The sea has far too many myths and legends, and the damn sailors buy into every one of them," Braum explained.
"I understand and I wouldn't want them to think I was so kind of ghost or night terror. I will keep my anger in check, I am sorry if I frightened you," I said walking up to the door with Gloria and i behind .
i was looking a bit better, but the more extre movents of the boats were not helping here. Gloria was still mothering her, but that was her chosen job, and they looked cute together. Candi and Trinity were in the corner talking about sothing that I couldn't overhear.
The six of us headed out in the hall and back out towards the center of the ship. Braum stepped up beside and we slowed down to grab coats off the wall. As Braum stood beside , handing out coats, he spoke low so I could hear.
"To be completely honest, your eyes gave a chill. Far worse than I have ever had before, and I am man enough to say that you scare with sothing fierce. La Khomtep; when you get back to the Guild, I'll show you a book."
That was all he said before handing a canvas coat like the one Leash and I had shared before, but this one was smaller. I wonder what he was talking about?
The thought left my head as we walked out onto the deck and Into the torrential downpour. The sea still bucked and poured waves over the deck, but the wind had died down. We had to watch our step from all the rushing water, and it was hard to even see with all the rain.
"Over here!" Braum called to from the center mast.
He was sitting and putting one of the diving belts on, and I could see other belts attached to a chain that ran around the base of the mast. Braum waved us over, but he had to yell out the explanation for us to hear.
"Everyone has to take a belt if you're out here or you will get pulled overboard. Once you're hooked in, the once with Mana need to concentrate and find the source of your Mana inside of you. Once you have it, you need to hold that state, no matter what happens."
Everyone got belted down, and I took one of the belts close to Braum. i took the other side with Gloria, while the boys sat between us.
I was already regretting changing, but it was too late to worry about that. We had already been half-drowned but the waves were just trying to get buckled up, so I wasn't sure how I was going to do this.
"This won't be easy, but the more comfortable you get with feeling that energy during stressful or distracting situations, the better," Braum said through the rain, right before another massive wave ca over the side of the ship.
