章 331: Stargazing.
After they finish their meals Reima suddenly perks up, Ciri and Snuffles look at him confused but understand when he explains. "Tonight should be a full moon, I can't believe I almost forgot!"
Ciri "That's great but, what am I suppose to say to my room mates should they come questioning?"
Reima shrugs, "Just say you were in a broom closet with me- Ouch!" he gets punched in the arm by Ciri.
"Continue that thought and I'll have Snuffles bite you." she says holding up the suddenly menacing looking bunny...
Reima "Fine... Just tell them you were making preparations for tomorrow's lessons, that'll get them asking about the test and off of your back... Probably... Now, how do we get to the astronomy tower?"
Hinky "I can show you master!"
Reima looks at her apprehensively, the fact that he/she was ready to go butcher someone based on his words alone frightens him slightly... It does give him an idea though, what would happen if he made a unit of one hundred elves trained in assassination... He grins at this but is pulled from his thoughts when Ciri begins talking.
"Shall we go then?" she asks, excited at the prospect of becoming an Animagus.
They're led by Hinky to the top of the highest tower, coming out and standing in the open air. The only thing stopping students of falling off is the battlements, he'd heard rumours that there are spells to prevent people jumping off and dying instantly but he doubted it, it's just that no one's tested the theory out before.
The group look up and see the full moon looking down at them, shining brilliantly amongst the rest of the stars dotting the sky.
Reima "Thank you Hinky, we'll be ok from here."
The elf nods and pops away, leaving the trio alone on the relatively silent roof, the only thing reminding them that they do in-fact have ears is the breeze and there own breathing.
Reima retrieves Morgan le Fay's Animagus book and skims through it to makesure he's not missing anything. After a couple minutes of confirming what the have to do he pulls out a fine carpet, courtesy of Lord Gwyn's domain and sits down on his knees in a meditative pose.
Ciri mentally comments how similar he and Geralt actually look when meditating, it's almost uncanny...
Reima "Ok, take a seat next to me. To find our Animagus transformations we need to meditate under the full moon, for however long it takes until we find our animal. After that we can meditate and try to transform at a later time without the moon's assistance, though it apparently helps if your form is a rather unnatural one.
Ciri gets on her knees next to him and Snuffles finds a comfortable spot atop them, "So, just meditate until you find your animal?"
Reima "Clear your mind and don't think of anything, depending on what your animal is you might find it immediately or never at all."
Ciri nods at him and closes her eyes to meditate, now meditating on a subject is quite easy... But trying to think of nothing is kind of impossible, if you think of nothing then you are thinking that you are thinking of nothing, so therefore, impossible... But, as with most things, the human mind isn't as simple as that. With constant practise and special breathing techniques that Vesemir had taught her and Reima, making your mind blank is not so hard for the duo.
Unfortunately for Ciri however, this appears to not be her night. She meditates for hours until sunrise and had only seen a glimpse of green feathers before it escaped from view... She opens her eyes and sees Reima grinning broadly to himself...
Reima had just started meditating when he'd come face to face with a black skull-like face. It as covered in scales and had bright green slitted eyes that made him feel he was looking in a mirror. The beast reared back proudly allowing him to see it's full form, and boy, what is a magnificent creature...
It has four legs, the back look incredibly strong and muscled while the front ended with wicked claws that seem as if they could easily slice through steel, it's completely covered in black scales and it's about 8 meters tall and 30 meters long from head to tail. It's head is adorned with large horns that protrude from the back of it's head in a manner that mimics Kalameet's. Long vicious looking fangs stick out from it's lips as if they are too big for it's own mouth, from it's head following it's spine and finally it's tail it has sharp looking scaled ridges that'd prevent all but the most daring from attempting to sit atop it. Either side of the ridges sits two pairs of wings, a main set that that are huge but still don't seem large enough to hold it's incredible weight in the air, and a sub set that seem to function more like a rudder than something that'd help the creature fly. Last but not least, the beasts entire power seems to be heating up the surrounding air just by being present, embers occasionally drift from it's form in a manner similar to Reima's unleashed human form.
"Woah, so, you're my animal?" he says in amazement.
It's face twists into a horrific grin, "And, you are my human." it says in a rumbling voice that seems to reverberate the earth itself.
He's pretty shocked by the fact it can speak but he shouldn't be surprised, if he's not wrong this looks like a true dragon... They're supposedly capable of not only speech, but high level magic as well.
"Well, I hope we can get along." he says holding his hand out in a friendly gesture.
A bout of dark red fire puffs out of it's nose in amusement as it extends a huge front claw to meet his hand, as they touch Reima finds himself opening his eyes and looking around, realising he was still on the roof... And it seems the sun is just now coming up.
