The Guardian: The Elementalist

First Control

"What do you want me to do in this field?" ask Alesse. "Just sit quietly there" said Kaa. He also approached Yuki.

"How can you control the air? Seeing your condition like this, you can't possibly study with someone" Kaa said.

Yuki hesitated to answer. "If what I say is wrong, just remind me! You don't have to be afraid to talk" Kaa said.

"I taught myself" replied Yuki. The sound that came out of his mouth made Alesse and Kaa shocked. "Either why do I get goosebumps when I hear him speak" Alesse said. Yuki became devastated to hear his comments. "Disregard what he said, you don't have to be discouraged" Kaa said.

"Hey! I think we're just wasting time here! I'd better go inside and finish my job!" Alesse.

"Sit down quietly! While the rain has not yet come, try to enjoy the smell of this grass," said Kaa. "I don't feel anything" Alesse said briefly.

"Hurry up! You haven't even tried it! Close your eyes, I think it will make you more focused. Just feel the aroma of this remruputan. Not too difficult," said Kaa.

Alesse closed his eyes. He began to feel a cool breeze coming towards him, along with the smell of the soil that spread because it was wet with rain water.

Alesse began to feel something else, as if the direction of the wind seemed like a sheet of cloth that continued to cover him. The sheet kept passing on his face.

"Everyone can feel the wind in a different way. Maybe you've found the big picture" Kaa said.

"I felt it like a flock of sheep needed to be herded" said Yuki, once again he spoke and gave Kaa goosebumps. Yuki could tell that Kaa was trying to hold back her surprise.

"A. I'm fine, you don't have to hesitate to talk" said Kaa. "Lambs? Why do you describe the wind as a flock? That's too heavy!" Alesse. "Focus on yourself! Tidka needs to try to imagine as others think! I even imagined a gust of wind as part of my wing" Kaa said.

"It's complicated for both of you! And I can feel it.. It's like a thin sheet of cloth, like.

"Fright! You finally found a way to control that wind!" exclaim Kaa.

"Well, why does everyone have a different view of this wind? Doesn't that make it difficult for others to teach someone?" ask Alesse.

"Yeah, if you don't mind impersonating someone, go ahead! You don't have wings, so you can't replicate what I think, whereas Yuki. Flocks of sheep are not easy to control" Kaa said.

"That means what he thought was very ineffective! Wouldn't it be easier to liken this cold wind as a thin sheet of cloth?" ask Alesse.

"Everyone has a different mindset, Alesse! Like I always depend on my wings to travel, or Yuki who is a sheepherder. Not many people who had thought of the wind as a sheet of cloth. When viewed from your nature, you do like to make things easier, looking for solutions with the least risk. Like this sheet of cloth, you don't have to worry that it will burden you" Kaa said.

"So, what is the privilege of the difference in the mindsets of these people? If there were none, in the end the cloth sheet was the most logical to describe this gust of wind!" Alesse.

"Of course there is a privilege! Yuki, try to show your control, "pinta Kaa. Yuki nodded too. He made a move like dragging a rope.

"Look at how strong the wind is! Even the grass around here is attracted by him. Unfortunately the controls are still too rough! It needs a lot of training! Now it's your turn, try to control this gust of wind before it disappears" Kaa said.

"What should I do? Doing silly moves like that?" ask Alesse. "I know you're ashamed to demonstrate it. Either way you have to fight your prestige! Don't you hate the excessive shame? You have to be able to control it!" kaa.

Finally Alesse tried to calm himself. He imagined a cloth that kept passing in front of him and tried to fold it, but nothing happened afterwards.

"I've tried it but the fabrics can't even reach" Alesse said. "That's weird! It shouldn't be like this!" kaa.

"So? What's wrong?" ask Alesse. Kaa tried to check Alesse's palm. "When the Air Elementalist tries to use his power, there will be a mark! The temperature of his palm would be different!" kaa. But he did not get anything special from Alesse's palm.

"This is not the hand of an Elementalist! Really weird! You are a Warden, at least you should have one of the traits of the six Elementalists!" kaa. He looks so confused.

"Okay, that's enough bullshit! What I got today was wasted time! I won't listen to you anymore and get back to my job!" Alesse.

"Wait a minute, Alesse! I think I know what really happened to you! Someone has sealed your control! But who? I know Chron has that ability, but he won't do that to you! He doesn't know that you're a Warden either! Are you in contact with anyone else who has water control?" ask Kaa. "Maybe Salsha, he was never that close to me. We always keep our distance as if there is hatred between us" Alesse said.

"I'm sure it happened after he saw you turn into Aqua, not many people would want to be likened to that! So it's impossible for Salsha to do it" Kaa said. While trying to think hard, finally in the head Kaa terbesit someone who is not foreign.

"Anne, grandson! Did that girl do something to you?" ask Kaa. "Oh? The girl in the ice? My memory is still vague, the last thing I remember is that he pierced both my ears with pointed ice. I don't remember what happened next" Alesse replied.

"I suspected! I think I know why he did it" Kaa said. "Why?" ask Alesse. "He already knew that you would be the next Warden, he tried to seal your control so you couldn't use it" Kaa replied.

"That's brilliant! Why didn't he seal these six people away from coming out on his own? Isn't this too half-and-half?" ask Alesse. "That's not something a water elementalist can do, he just froze a small part of your head. I don't really understand which part, but it can be returned as before by the same person" Kaa said.

"Well! Nice work! since that girl is dead trapped in the ice, we have no other choice right? Then let me enjoy your life as an ordinary person. You might be able to wait for the Warden's next presence after me if you want to do something. Isn't chron long-lived? I don't think 50 or 100 years is a long time for them" Alesse said.

"This must not be allowed, Alesse! Do you remember the mirror world I told you about? The rest of you from that world are wandering around places and killing people! If left unchecked, people would not stay silent! They'll think you did it! It won't be long until that happens! Your life will always be disturbed if it is not stopped!" kaa.

"Why is it my responsibility to honor it? Then for Chron and the Dark Warden what? You should have stopped him!" Alesse.

"You also have that responsibility because you're a Warden" Kaa said. "Now not anymore. Look, I can't even control anything. Now I'm an ordinary person who wants to live a quiet life while doing various scientific experiments" said Alesse.

Kaa smiled too. "Your as an ordinary human being will come to an end, Alesse!" he then walked towards the house.

"Hey! What do you want? Are you going to threaten me?" ask Alesse. "No, I just remembered that you came back alive from that chunk of ice because of Alex. I thought he could do something similar for the girl, so say goodbye to your quiet life" Kaa said.

"I think it's useless to do that. Even though he came back to life, his original soul was still dead" Alesse said. "I don't care, all I need is his head. I'm sure at least he remembered something while sealing your restraint" Kaa said.
