The four children were each balancing on poles high above the ground.
“I know martial artists are supposed to do this, but does anyone actually know why?†Ignis asked
“I don’t know if even the Master knows why. He hasn’t told us, his master probably never told him. It could have started out hundreds of years ago as a joke.†Doll was tired of these tasks, but still determined to do her best.
The four continued to balance a while.
“Why does most all of our training involve staying in the same spot for long periods of time,†Cadence was already tired of this, “first sat in the dojo, then under the waterfall, now here.â€
“I… don’t… think… I have… enough balance.†Mavis was struggling to stay on the pole. And as a slight breeze blew, her weight was too far forward, “aahhhh- …huh?â€.
Everyone looked over to Mavis, who had one foot on the pole, and one foot, standing on thin air.
“what-†Mavis was as shocked as the others.
“I cant keep that air firm for long Mavis, put your weight on the pole again†keeping Mavis balanced was taking a lot of energy for Doll, and Mavis quickly righted herself. “thanks.â€
“thank you, I wish I had a power like you.†Mavis thanked Doll.
“stupid!†all four looked down to see a little kid standing at the base of the poles, shouting up to them. “Cant you see what her power is energy girl?â€
“I can see,†replied Doll, “But I’m not going to force her to use it this high upâ€
“and that’s why you’re stupid!†the little boy ran to the base of Mavis’ pole and started kicking it.
“Hey, if she falls, I cant help her again! I’m not strong enough!†Doll shouted at the boy.
“That’s why now is the perfect time.†The boy continued to kick the pole, and Mavis started to fall, there was no way she could have kept her balance, but once again, she stopped falling mid-air again.
“Thanks again Doll.â€
“I didn’t do it this time Mavis, this is all you.†as much as doll hated the boy’s attitude, his approach had worked.
“I’m… I can fly?†Mavis had shocked herself.
“looks that way to me†Cadence said.
“ok I’m bored now, cya losers!†the boy was shouted and ran off up the hill, “By the way, my name’s Zephyr, don’t forget it!â€
