The Chains of a New Life (Paega Anginous)

[Salaza]

Seeing Mistress Paega was not as upset as she thought Serah had calmed a little, sitting back down at the table. She watched as another cup was brought out while [member="Paega Anginous"] busied herself with cleaning the remains of the last cup. At the very least Serah was glad that she didn't care about the cups that much, otherwise things would've takena gervious turn for herself. She sighed before another cup was brought out and Serah was instructed to try again, only now using her hands to help.

Putting both out Serah began to focus again as she had before, only instead she tried not putting to much effort into it. She only imainagined the cup floating and, sure enough, it began to wobble and twitch as before. She breathed to try and keep her focus without letting it go too far, keeping her hands steady as well, before the cup slowly began to rise. It still wavered and twicthed a little in the air but it did not going flying into the wall as the last, Serah smiling as she tried to keep it steady.

Paega finished up with cleaning the remains of the last cup when she saw that Serah was making good progress on the second cup. She went back to the table, and sat back down, giving her Zeltron an approving nod. "Nice, you're doing it. Make sure to keep yourself focused." she instructed, observing Serah as she kept the cup floating.

"Now, try to move that cup through the air, make it go into the sink. Use your hands to guide the cup..." the blonde said, watching with interest. Serah would find it difficult to actually get it as far as the sink, and Paega was expecting the second cup to crash as well.

Hearing her mistress' intructions Serah tried to move the cup through the air while guiding it with her hands. She careful moved her hands to the side, the cup following them as she kept her focus on it. Often it would waver as Serah was trying to keep it afloat while remembering where the skin was, but it did not fall. Instead it stayed where it was until finally being brought over the sink. With a deep breath she lowered it in, the cup finally dropping into the sink. With a sigh of relief and a smile she looked to [member="Paega Anginous"] for a assestment of her performance.

"Excellent job, Serah." praised Paega, as she stood up, giving Serah an approving pat on the back before grabbing the chair that the blonde had been sitting on just a few moments ago. "Now, let's get a little more in depth. Let's try something called the Force Push and Pull." she announced. "Alright, now, instead of trying to just levitate the chair, I want you to try and push it against the wall." she said. "Afterwards, try to pull it back to you."

Looking to the chair and then to her mistress Serah nodded after hearing the instructions. She wasn't sure how this would go, hopefully better than her first attempt with the cup, but it was better than anything at this point. She looked to the chair, thinking of it being against the wall, and held her right hand out. The chair itself skidded against the floor and smacked against the wall with a hard thud. Serah jumped a little after thinking it might have been a little too much. She flinched before looking to [member="Paega Anginous"] who would probably have wanted her to continue regardless. She took a deep breath and then held her palm out, retracting her arm in the hopes the chair would follow. It did but it had taken a little jump off the ground when she did, it going about a foot off the ground before coming back with another loud crash. Serah winced again, hoping it was good enough for now. She was starting to get nervous about her powers.

"See? You're capable of doing these sorts of things. It's important that you let go of your fears and anxiety..." she said, impressed with the quick progress Serah was making in the basic Force technique. Admittedly Serah seemed slightly unsure of that Force Push, but it confidence was important for now. "Now repeat doing that a few times." she instructed.

Practice was the key to mastering the technique. Paega crossed her arms infront of her chest, and watched.

With the order to continue pratacing Serah bowed and said "Yes, Mistress." For the next half hour Serah dealt with trying to balance out the push and pull of the force. She kept on using what she already had figured out, how emotion seemed to be the key to concentration, while trying to get the right amount in when using her abilites. It was hard, to say the least, but over time Serah began to understand how it was something that needed to be regressed when focusing, otherwise her mind would be all over the place. Eventually it had come to where Serah was careful with how she pushed and pulled the chair with the force. It followed the movement of her hands as she went foward and back with her abilites guiding the chair all the way on the otherside of the room. [member="Paega Anginous"]
