Capítulo 12: Learning a New Technique
Elandor led his new trainees to a secluded corner of the temple. The dimly lit room was shrouded in darkness, save for the flickering candlelight and the faint, soothing scent of incense that permeated the air. The ancient stone walls seemed to absorb the ambient sounds, creating an atmosphere of profound stillness.
"Lions Focus Meditation," Elandor began, his voice resonating with a deep, almost primal wisdom. His presence commanded their attention, his every word imbued with a sense of purpose and gravitas. "It is not merely about quieting the mind, but about harnessing the raw power of your aura. Each of you possesses a unique energy, an aura that surrounds and defines you. Lions Focus will help you draw out this aura, to enhance your senses and strengthen your presence."
Helena and Jaxon exchanged intrigued glances, their curiosity piqued by the promise of this new technique. Renn, usually quick with a quip, watched Elandor intently, his grin replaced by a solemn expression as he absorbed the monk's teachings.
"To begin," Elandor continued, "sit as you did before, but this time, focus on the sensation of your aura. Feel it pulsing around you, like a gentle current of energy. Lion's Focus is not just about internal stillness, but about external awareness. Feel the aura extending beyond your body, connecting you to the world around you."
Helena closed her eyes, her breath slowing as she followed Elandor's instructions. The room's ambient sounds faded into the background, replaced by a tingling sensation that spread through her limbs. She felt her senses sharpen, attuned to the slightest movements and sounds. It was as if she were tapping into a hidden reservoir of power, her aura becoming a vibrant, almost palpable force.
Jaxon sat cross-legged, his brow furrowed in concentration. He imagined his aura as a radiant sphere of light, expanding and contracting with each breath. The concept was foreign yet strangely familiar, like awakening a dormant ability buried deep within his subconscious. The air around him seemed to hum with energy, his awareness expanding beyond the confines of his physical form.
Renn, initially struggling to quiet his mind, found himself drawn into the exercise by Elandor's calming presence. His usual bravado melted away as he focused on his aura, feeling it stir beneath the surface. It was a connection to something greater than himself, a shimmering force that began to glow faintly in the dim candlelight.
Kael, ever the silent observer, embraced the meditative practice with a quiet intensity. His aura, already attuned to the magical currents of the world, responded eagerly to the new technique. He felt a profound sense of unity with his surroundings, as if the very essence of the temple was speaking to him.
One morning, Elandor gathered the companions in the central hall of the temple, a grand space filled with the soft light of the rising sun filtering through high windows. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings depicting the history and teachings of the temple.
"Today, I will outline your daily schedule," Elandor announced, his voice echoing gently in the hall. "You will be dedicating eight hours each day to Lions Focus Meditation and another eight hours to magic training."
Helena, Jaxon, and Renn exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of determination and apprehension. Eight hours of meditation sounded daunting, but they knew it was necessary to harness the full potential of their auras.
"Magic training?" Kael's voice held a note of curiosity. Elandor turned to him, his amber eyes narrowing slightly.
"Yes," Elandor confirmed. "Your aura is intertwined with your magical abilities. Mastering Lions Focus will enhance your control and potency in magic as well."
Kael nodded, understanding dawning on his face. He had always sensed a connection between his aura and his magical prowess, but he had never fully explored it. This was an opportunity to deepen his understanding and refine his skills.
Days turned into weeks as they practiced Lions Focus under Elandor's meticulous guidance. They meditated at dawn and dusk, honing their ability to draw out their aura and enhance their senses. The training was rigorous, pushing them to their limits both physically and mentally.
During one of the magic training sessions, Elandor observed Kael closely. The companions were practicing basic spells, focusing on channeling their auras into magical energy. Kael, however, performed the exercises with an effortless grace that caught Elandor's attention.
"Kael," Elandor called out, his voice filled with a curious intensity. "Show me your magic."
Kael hesitated for a moment before stepping forward. He extended his hand, and with a subtle gesture, summoned a shimmering sphere of light. The sphere hovered in the air, pulsating with a vibrant energy that illuminated the entire room. Elandor's eyes widened slightly, a rare expression of surprise crossing his usually composed features.
"You possess a remarkable talent," Elandor said, his tone both impressive and contemplative. "Your control and understanding of magic are far beyond what I expected."
Kael smiled modestly, his eyes reflecting a quiet pride. "I've been practicing for many years," he admitted. "But I never realized how deeply connected it was to my aura."
Elandor nodded thoughtfully. "Your skills will be a great asset to our training. With your proficiency in magic and the others' growing mastery of Lions Focus, you will all complement each other well."
During the training Renn, in particular, found himself drawn to the challenge. He had always used humor to mask his insecurities, but now, as he delved deeper into Lions Focus, he confronted those doubts head-on. His transformation was subtle yet profound, his once carefree demeanor giving way to a quiet determination. Elandor's teachings had unlocked something within him, a reservoir of strength he never knew he possessed.
Helena and Jaxon made significant progress as well. Their aura became more tangible with each session, their senses finely tuned to the ebb and flow of energy around them. They learned to anticipate movements before they happened, a skill that would prove invaluable in combat. Elandor assured them that mastering Lions Focus would take time and unwavering focus, but they were undeterred.
One evening, as they sat around a crackling fire within the temple courtyard, Helena glanced at her companions with a sense of pride. The flickering flames cast shadows across their faces, highlighting the subtle changes wrought by their training.
"We've come a long way," she remarked softly, her voice carrying the weight of their shared journey. "I can feel the difference in each of us."
Jaxon nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Elandor has taught us more than meditation. Lions Focus has opened up new possibilities."
Renn's expression was contemplative as he gazed into the fire. He didn't speak, but the flicker of emotions across his face spoke volumes—the uncertainty giving way to a growing confidence, nurtured by Elandor's teachings.
Kael, ever observant, nodded in agreement. His eyes held a quiet intensity, a testament to the bond that had formed between them under Elandor's guidance.
As the night deepened around them, the companions knew that their journey was far from over. They had found more than supplies in Erian Glade—they had found a path to mastery, to unlocking the potential within themselves.
With Lions Focus Meditation as their guide, they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, united in purpose and strengthened by their newfound abilities.
