Season of the Witch (Cassia)

There was a sound from deep in the mountain, Lavania rising up from one of the alcoves while she walked to the fields and section that was being built in front of the cave. The main entrance below her shack getting turned into a woodshed with a staircase leading up to her shack and it looked at the carved walls and frames for additional shacks as some of the sisters were returning. Her hands coming over more as she exited and began to walk up the stairs letting the force come over her. The tattoo on her back and shoulders from the spider clan was new compared to many much like her new sisters. She still though had commitments to students though like Cassia who had been the first to find her and brought her attention before she was walking. "Come and rise apprentice." She looked in the shack and the single bed was for her student to sleep while she worked in the caves and on the other shacks so those training could sleep and learn.

Cassia's eyes opened when she felt the presence of her master, and when [member="Lavania"] spoke, she did as she was instructed. The young witch sat up and turned slightly, letting her legs hang of the edge of the bedside for a moment. Even though her mind was still heavy with sleep, she set her feet upon the ground and stood up, offering a smile to Lavania. She was grateful for Lavania's training, and wanted to absorb all of the knowledge that she could. As Lavania was a Nightsister, and as Cassia had not had that calling, she knew that she would someday have to move on from this place. However, for now this mountain home was something of a comfort for her. The area had already changed since she'd first arrived here, there were a few more living quarters, as some of the Nightsisters were returning. It was nice to see that Lavania's sisters were now gathering around her, they too were here to seek the Blind Seer's knowledge.

She pulled on her boots, tied her brown hair back and took up her staff. "I'm ready now." Cassia said, her voice soft but sure.

Lavania stood there looking the girl over as she bowed her head, the young witch was getting stronger and more focused as her grin appeared with some of the ideas to it all. "Then we shall begin now, your skills have been growing from practice and now we'll go towards some of the stronger magics of the witches... both nightsister and witch." She could feel the apprentice through the blood trail and was leading the way through the area's towards the forest as she stood there and led the way up to some trees that were overlooking most of the mountain. "We will practice your ability to channel the magics of the world here."

Cassia nodded and followed Lavania out into the woods. The thought of starting to practice stronger magic was exciting, but it did make her a bit nervous as well. Channeling magic was still a skill she was working to improve, it was often difficult to tame her thoughts and quiet her mind enough to be proficient. As they continued through the trees, she used her staff to support her as she went along the uneven terrain. The student took in a deep breath and tried to let the serenity of the area wash over her. Cassia turned to her master and looked up at her, ready to receive instruction. “What do I need to do?” She asked with a smile.

Lavania motioned for her to sit down and spoke. "Deep in the hear of this world is the spiritual ichor, the mists that give us the magics we channel. Where we create the spirit ichor the magical ichor is what the planet gives us... and you will need to learn how to channel and call it forth which will show the skills you need to work on some fo the stronger magics and aspects of the force." Her look though while she held the staff and set it across her lap.

Cassia listened quietly and nodded as Lavania spoke. The young witch had witnessed her master creating spirit ichor once before, it had looked like quite a long process that required much concentration. She understood that this magical substance was a common base used for most magics performed by the witches, and it would be most beneficial to her to learn its creation. She took in a deep breath and took a seat, setting her own staff across her lap to mirror her master. “I have been looking forward to learning how to make spirit ichor.” She said softly with a smile. “How do I begin?” she asked, tilting her head to the side slightly.

"First you must connect to the heart of the planet, feel the ebb and flow of it as its pulse becomes your own.... Then slowly you will feel the lifeblood of the planet and bring it to you." She held herself still while one hand moved and slowly the green mists came from the world to wrap around her hand. "We can create our own but it is never as strong as what comes from the source."
