"Yes please help. For the past 5 days its been hell trying to figure this out" I whined
"Oh my poor baby let me help you out"
"Do not help him out too much Lysandra he needs to learn some things by himself or he will never learn" my father, Derek, said.
My mom is really easy going and helpful. My dad tho is the cold type who wouldn't hesitate to help but he'll give you a little nudge until you figure it out, he's someone who believes effort and hard work matters more than talent.
"Alright Derek, I'm just trying to help my poor baby, he looks like he's gonna cry"
"Sigh…alright" He turns towards me with a shark look in his eye "Listen up, imagine you're trying to get sand and water through a pipe but it keeps mixing, how would you solve this problem"
"By making them go through different pipes?" I replied
"Exactly now imagine this senario in for your body, you are trying to get fire and water elements to appear but what's happening to you is that they are mixing to create steam but you want them separate, what should you do"
" I sould create separate pathways for different elements?"
" Yes there you go your answer, now figure the rest by yourself" He got up and left after that
"Don't mind your father he really does care about you or he wouldn't have bothered explaining. We have high hopes for you we know you can do it one of the reasons he's so harsh" my mom cheered then she left.
I sat there in silence thinking about what I had to do 'separate pipes' was the only thought going through my head. How the hell I create separate pipes in my body is the question any idea at this point would be appreciated
Then, I looked at my hand and saw the veins running through my arms, and then it hit me.
"Let me try to create a system in my body similar to my viens that go all throught my body and split into branches"
First step to creating something is to visualize it. I imagined my veins branching out and creating pathways and how it would look. It would be completely invisible under my skin and function as both my nerves and mana pathway. Next was creating it.
"Arggghh!" I cried out in pain. It was a excrutiatingly painful expreience, my veins were shifting and breaking apart. Impurities were burned out of my body because of how much I was sweating.
"Hah…Hah….Hah" I was out of breath but I accomplished it.Then I blacked out.
