Ruia frowned. "The Blue Lady is not a nickname. 'Tis my title. You are right about the Strength being rare. Only one child is born every century in whom the Blue Strength resides. That child is always a female. I am one, and May here is another, the next after me. My apprentice shall we say, though the rites have not been taken. She will be the Blue Lady after I go."

Sora looked at Ruia, "Everyone takes everything so somber," he said. "But you are right. Saying the Blue Lady is a nickname would be calling the title of Queen a joke," he continued. "So what is the limit of the Strength?" Sora asked. "Books were highly unreliable. Too bad the Ancient language doesn't allow lies in writing," he finished.

((okay))
"The limit of the Strength..is the limit of your perception. Othe than that, there is no limit."Ruia said cryptically.

Minasia stared blankly at the two, their conversation clightly eluding her.
"May? Blue Strength? Does she know? How does it work, can I..."
She stred between her feet and flushed, knowing she was asking too many questions.
"Pardon me my intruding, I'm perhaps too curious for my own good!"
May walked up to them, staring at Sora while being at Ruia's side.
"Are you sure it'S safe to tell him?", she whispere in her ear.
"I mean, we don't even know him all that much...

Ruia smiled. It does not matter if he knows. We are the only two who can use it and others will not understand properly even if we were to tell them again and again. she told May through the link they had established before while fighting the Kull and Urgals.
"Anyway, if you are to be my apprentice May, the rites of aprenticeship must be taken. Will you be my apprentice?"

She looked at sora douptingly, then to Ruia, wide-eyed.
"Me? I uh... That is..."
She bowed, making sure her hair didn't fall in front... It was torture to push back her long hair!
"I would be honored to be taken under your wing"

Sora was a bit disappointed when Ruia answered in such an enigmatic matter, but pushed that thought off to the side. He was about to speak when Terrana nudged his side, and gestured at the process of apprenticeship.

(sorry i havent been on the internet wasnt working)
Milus, who had been listening the hole time stepped infront of Sora.
"Well since i will be traveling with you, Sora, i guess there should be a proper introduction. I'll start, hi i am Milus" he says holding out his hand.

Sora shook hands with Milus, unsure of what to think about him. "Well, you already know my name, but for the sake of introductions, I am Sora," he said. "Pray tell, what is your dragon's name?" he asked.

She nodded, making sure that she remembered the words carefully.
She closed her eyes, focussing on a particular moment she would like to place, without necessarily ruining her memory.
When she had found it, it was the day where she was younger and had tripped, breaking her ankle, she focused on wrapping the feather... A task harder than you could think.
She then inserted the memory, more than happy to get rid of it... though the thought of the scar would miss her as an other moment she was growing stronger.
She smiled and opened her eyes when the feather started to glow, then waited for Ruia's words.
Minasia stared at the two, trying to absorb all the information she could; She might be useful for the next Blue Lady... Younever know!
She stared at the feathers, the the fire, the tried to remember every word Ruia said, descifering every meaning of them.
When she had taken every possible information she could, she waited for the next steps, hoping that something new and useful would be said once more out of the wise womans' mouth.
I wonder what's going to happen to May after this... will she still be able to train with me? Or even be with any one of us? I hope not...
She sighed at the thought, hoping it would never happen... She was to used to May's presence and thoughts that she would never endure such seperation, be it only a few weeks, she could never allow it.

Ruia watched May and then turned to her feather. Bathing it in the Blue Strength, she place the memory of the first time she had done this ritual, all those years ago. Her bracelet, shimering gold was all that remained of it, her memory still in place there. She remembered when her silver feather bracelet had turned to gold, the day she had truly become the Blue Lady. Gently prising herself away from memories, Ruia saw both feathers glowing with a steady silver pulse and said, "Eka era onr ebrithil!". She held the feather in the hand on which her bangle was on and had always been on and waited for May to say her line, trusting that she had remembered.
Alianae watched the procedings with a smile upon her face. She saw Minae was troubled and went to her, placing her right hand on Minae's arm.
"Do not worry, nothing much will change."
On her arm, a gold bangle with sparkles of red appeared, the magic that had hidden it dissipating...

Minasia stared a while at the bracelet, hen at her own arm.
"Then revelations must indeed be done at this time...."
She sighed and stared at her arm, simpkly muttering "brisingr"....
Her hand and wrist were engulfed in puple-ish flames, revealing bit by bit a pruple sleave attached to the major finger, the flames going up and up... Until she was finally shown wearig a deep purple gown, made only for a princess...
She vurtsied and held her head high, as of great authority.
"My name is Minasia of the wind, daughter of Odilon, King of the lost city of Matsukean, in Alalea"
May grinned, and followed the instructions given to her earlier.
"Ono are pomnuria ebrithil"
She threw her feather in the fire, admiring the silver-blue glow it had.
"Gath du fethrar arget du brisingr, wiol du renar weohnata waise sem"
She then turned to Minasia and nodded at the news.
"Indeed... and I am her loyal servant, May... Also konwn as the month of sorrow, sent from Melian to Matsukean in order to protect My'lady in her voyage to this... Place... But while we were disembarking, she as captured by soldiers and brought to that place we recently visited... And thus we ended up here"

Sora looked back at Minasia. Her gown was gorgeous, rivaling that that Islanzadi wears. Her new sudden introduction left him partially speechless, but he kept his mouth shut, and his face registered no surprise, though his thoughts seemed to bubble with it, until finally, I would have never thought of it, he said to Terrana.
The green dragon seemed to be very pleased at the news, and inclined her long neck, as a bow, but kept her eyes looking at her softly. All the more of a reason for me to have kept you out of her mind, she told him, then projected her next thoughts. Minasia, you disguise yourself well. I myself would have never guessed for you to be so regal, and then to May, And congratulations, May, for officially becoming an apprentice of the Blue Lady, she then stopped projecting herself, and returned to the norm connection with Sora. This is turning out to be much more interesting than I had originally thought it would be, she whispered.

Alianae smiled mysteriously, a hint in her eye showing she had already guessed.
She nodded her head and said, "Greetings to you. We have met before Minasia, do you remember me?" She hesitated. It seemed everybody was revealing their true identities, should she? Surely Minaisa already knew from the glimpse of Alianae's bracelet? Ruia knew of course. Milus..he wouldn't know. All these years and she had done the equivalent of lying to him...she couldn't tell, it would break his heart to know he had been lied to..but he had a right to know. She decided to wait for Minasia's answer before she said anything more.
Ruia threw her feather into the flames so the two feathers landed exactly on to of each other. She spoke the last line, her voice wrapping around May's and infusing the Strength into the feathers. The fire rushed up and then went back to normal. It was done. In the centre of the fire lay a cirle of silver, strands of the Blue Strength still flickering around it. Two main streams of Blue Strength came from Ruia and May, Ruia's stronger with experience.
"Take it."she said to May, "Take it." In her eyes was the glint of a challenge.
