mayfield_rpg | 23rd Magic Bullet

[Action; outside 2337 Stevens]

[The long-awaited day has finally come! Yuna's magic lessons with Negi, Rin, and Blue have paid off, and with a little impromptu Al Bhed lesson from Rikku, she's got her spell key all ready to go too. Today, Yuna graduates from apprentice to full-fledged mage. She's standing out on the front lawn of 2237 Stevens Road with her wand at the ready, closing her eyes and doing some breathing exercises to get ready for her first attempt at a real spell. After a minute or so, she nods to herself, tightening her grip on her wand and holding it out.]

Tytto tytto pycgadpymm!

[Her voice rings through the air loud and clear, full of confidence. A small breeze kicks up around her, blowing her hair back and forth and rustling her clothing. Definitely a good start! Yuna grins before moving on, closing her eyes as she concentrates.]

Unum spiritus ignis... coèuntes, sagittent inimicum meam!

[A vaguely reddish aura begins to gather around Yuna as she continues chanting.]

Sagitta Magica, convergentia ignis!

[Yuna's eyes snap open as she finishes the spell, the red aura coalescing into the shape of an arrow, which fires forth from her wand and into the sky. She stumbles back a step, watching it streak off into the distance in awe before jumping up and down, pumping her fist in the air in excitement.]

I did it! I really did it! My first real spell!

Yeah! I finally did it! Wasn't it awesome?

[It takes a few seconds for her to realize Ako's wearing a sort of distant expression, but eventually she does.]

...What's wrong?

Huh? Oh nothing really. I'm just in a bit of a mood. I got sent back for 5 months.

[Read: she got droned and timeskipped.]

Five months? Wow... I'm sorry.

It's okay. I just... kind of miss my family all over again.

[To say the least. Forcing a smile, she asked,] So that magic you did. Is it a learned skill or did you have magic before arriving?

I know what that's like. I miss my dad every day.

[Yuna frowns a little, but as long as we're forcing smiles, she's game.]

Well... kind of both, I guess. I could use magic before I came to Mayfield, but I learned that spell here.

Yeah, I miss papa too.

[She's trying hard not to undo all her progress.]

Ah I see. Can anyone learn that here?

I'm not really sure. It's a spell from home, so that might be why I was able to learn it here even though I didn't know how to do it before. I couldn't really do any of the stuff Blue or Rin tried to show me, even though it looked about as easy to do.

That's fine. I wasn't really intent on learning magic. It's not like I need it anyhow. [She's got her Precure powers.]

Was that the only spell you were trying out? I'd like to see more if possible.

Ah... yeah, that's the only one I know right now. It took me months just to build up to that. But I bet it'll get a lot easier to learn other ones now!
