How it pours, pours, pours,
In a never-ending sheet!
How it drives beneath the doors!
How it soaks the passer's feet!
How it rattles on the shutter!
How it rumples up the lawn!
How 'twill sigh, and moan, and mutter,
From darkness until dawn. 
◦º°×°º◦
That voice... Gabriela's concentration was shattered by the sound waves coming down to her and she swallowed a large amount of water when she gasped at her bubble bursting and the water regaining power over itself. She struggled a bit below the water, completely disoriented and then resurfaced, jumping up and sitting down on the surface. The mistress choked out the water and looked up at her old teacher.
Who had left when she had been crowned. Anger surged through her for a second and then worry, How had he been, What had he done with himself all this time?
"Hello! Long time no ... well, see. Excuse the pun?" Her ocean eyes tried to look into his and found that they were... closed. She quickly came to a small conclusion and a frown marred her features. What had happened? Where was Cove, for she assumed that her friend and fellow water user had escaped with the ex master.
"Well, students, this is the great man who taught me most of what i know, Mas... Sir Euan." Gabriela announced with a great smile and she even bowed her head to him, remembering the fond memories after her first master left. Having been used to the title 'Master' being a prefix to his name was something that the new Mistress would have to fix.
"Well, you might be right, but i just thought that we should start off with something almost basic. Teach them to wade before making them dive, i guess. Plus, at least now, they started to exercise their thoughts."

Raven simply placed her hands at her side and bowed deeply. It was never a trait of hers to be social. In more than one way, she understood her former Master for leaving. Even now she regarded his eyes as being shut, and knew she had once walked blindly, and had chosen to to do willingly. A tiny smile graced her visage as she straightened, and backed away slightly; It felt strange for so many people to be around. Raven knew it was a habit she would have to get out of, and to get over her shyness of being around so many of her fellow pupils and teachers. Instead, she sighed quietly, choosing to remain as such and contemplate their words within her mind.

"excuse me miss Gabi who is this man" said Ren in a cowering voice almost as if he felt the man to be extremely strong

So many fluent motions...weird to be so close to humans again... Euan had been somewhat delighted at the reaction he was given. Old habits died hard they say, well at least Slailie always did. He couldn't recall the last time he'd heard the expression, but Gabriela's voice did jog his memories. Maybe I should have left a letter or something...
Having developed a sense of compassion for others though, Euan didn't waste time breathing before he answered each of the questions. "Euan Tallis, young apprentice. Pleasure to you young miss. So glad you're jumping for joy Slailie, and quite Gabriela. Do continue with the exercise.." He knew he was imposing now but didn't really mind being the center of attention for the moment.
Euan felt like he was done answering questions for the moment and decided to take a few steps back. Surely at least a few of the girls, and the sir, may feel it imposing to have the previous water master watching, er, feeling so close. He probably would've laughed if he could see their facial expressions though.
The wanderer hoped none of them would challenge him to a fight, especially after three months of a pacifist behavior. That would've been most unpleasant for whoever did the challenging and an annoyance to Euan...

"It will be nice to have an observer of other means. It's pleasant of you to visit, sir." Raven crossed her arms, grasping her own elbows as she cradled her arms together. Part of her mind wass till reflecting on the different exercises that could be used to breathe underwater effectively. A faint smile graced her lips as she felt the even flow of concentration allowing her to stand upon the water's surface.

"Nice to meet you sir, Excuse me miss Gabi, but may we continue our training I'm starting to get a little jitter" said Ren now starting to taps his fingers in a rhythm that is very unfamiliar to anyone beside himself, adding in solos and things occasionaly

"Good idea." Gabriela stumbled a bit, embarrassed at the fact that she had become distracted with the new presence. "Very well, i have an assignment for all of you." She took out a couple of scrolls with water seals on them and handed one to each student.
"Open these where ever you feel safe that no one will be able to read it and then begin your quest. Each of these has a different skill or items you need to retrieve or conquer." The mistress summoned a bit of water that turned into an odd shape, an egg of sorts. It a had white, almost scale-ridden shell that shone in the light. It seemed painted with azures and ocean blues. It landed in Gabriela's open hands and she greeted it with a whispered hello.
"This is my ... Well, its hard to explain. Lets just call him a piece of me. He'll be there to help any of you while you search for what ever you are asked for in those scrolls. I have to attend to something for a bit, so just ask him what ever you need answered." the mistress let go of the egg and a small podium of water formed below it, making it stand at eye level with the short mistress.
"I'm off. Good luck!!!" Gabriela dived into the water and disappeared into it's depths.
Hello, Good luck today. I'm Maren, i hope i'll be of assistance.

Raven stepped forward and took a scroll into her hands. For a moment she was happy that she would be working on her problem-solving skills. It was always a challenge for her to discover news ways of achieving even a small fraction of new knowledge.
She remained silent, her gaze darting from her Mistress to the egg-like feature that she manifested. A notion in the back of her mind reminded her of Jesta', an extension of her own being that remained in the form of a Panther. A tiny smile lit up her features, and she listened intently to the instructions.
Nodding slowly, Raven nodded first to the egg and then to the rest of her comrades before she turned for the tide. She could feel her concentration coaxing the waters at her feet, the stream forming underneath her heels and toes to keep her above the surface.
"Have fun, guys!"
She sped off, like an small underwater current the jet pushed her further out to sea. Now that she was comfortable with splitting her concentration, Raven unraveled the scroll to read her mission. Her eyes darted across the assignment, taking in the detail of what she were to accomplish. Once she knew that she was far enough out, she shifted her concentration of the jet, which launched her into the air. Raven then propelled herself into the Ocean and disappeared.

Noah quickly ran out onto the beach with a small bag on his back,"hah..hah..hah..can't believe I'm this late."He slipped a little on the beach as his foot slide along the sand,"Ah!"He staggered before he fell and caught himself,damn."He jumped on one foot for a while so he didn't fall then stopped himself with a whew,"...close..whew."He fixed his shirt then looked over at the beach area and saw a few people already there then jumped a little,"crap."He ran over to them and stopped as he panted heavily,"hah..hah..sorry i'm late I just received the letter and uh..sorry."He stood up straight and waited for a response.

The stream beneath Raven then pushed her upright and towards the surface again. She inhaled deeply, knowing she would need to to initially assess the beginnings of her training. A familiar figure caught her eye along the shoreline's horizon, and Raven laughed out loud.
"NOAH! You missed our Mistress Gabriela! We're solo-training for now. I've got some stuff to clean down here." treading water as she held her balance, Raven gestured towards the very Ocean she lay in. "If you haven't got a scroll, you can join me. Might be more of a challenge than I thought!"

Noah was surprised to see Raven there but he remembered her mentioning something about her training.He began to blush slightly as it was embarrassing to be late on your first day and missed the teacher,he sighed lightly as he figured he would be in trouble for it later."uh ok then."He smiled then began walking to the ocean past the other students,"uh excuse me..sorry heh..just going over there..thanks."He smiled at each of them then was about to step into the ocean,"oh wait."He took off his shoes and rolled up his pants legs then stepped into the ocean,it was cold at first but he got used to it quicker than usual.
He began walking towards Raven along the ocean floor then began propelling himself towards her by pushing the water behind him to jet himself through it."uh ok so,what do you want to do?"He looked around in the water then back to Raven,he was now standing in the water without touching the floor.

"We've got some reefs to clean. Clear any junk that doesn't belong there. The water's too deep for us to go all the way down--water pressure could kill us. So we have to train our Element to assist us to getting the job done."
Though it sounded easy, Raven was still dwelling on the difficulty. She was still clinging to what she had picked up from Gabriela and the apprentices when they were discussing the matter.

"clean the reef huh?...hhm."He knelt down in the water and felt the water creep up on his body but he was used to it already,it was like a second skin now."well couldn't just dive under and create a bubble of sorts that surrounds us to provide air and allow us to move down closer to the reefs?....though that could be harder since if we lost concentration would could fail on the bubble..."He shook his head then dipped his hands into the water then smiled at Raven,"I guess its either the hard way or the easy way which is pushing the water down there..going to take a while though."He nodded then held his palms downward towards the bottom of the ocean,he wasn't exactly sure if it was working but he felt a shift in the water at the ocean floor,he began to deepen his concentration.

"Perhaps. Only one way to find out." Raven allowed herself to sink under the surface of the water. Here, was an entirely different world than that of on land, and she reflected on the scroll's instructions.
She could feel the sensation of the water slowly beginning to swirl and manifest. The current would shift in the three foot diameter around her, and a small vortex was beginning to form. She added her own concentration to Noah's, and attempted to "push" the swirling water downwards. It would thin out, creating a long, singular line that would wind itself downward, into the depths of the Ocean floor.
