Ciar's spirit soared when the highmaster gave her a smile. It was rare that these smiles were given at all to students other than his son and she felt ecstatic to have been on the receiving end of one. Now it was time to prove that she was ready for the next step. She wouldn't disappoint.
Knowing almost instinctually what she had to do Ciar lowered her head before dropping silently to all fours her fingers spread wide against the flagstone, her knees and boots touching the floor to keep her well grounded. She was used to meditation techniques that she used in her training, especially in hand to hand combat, to drain her body of emotion and focus inwards to attain inner peace. Her head hung lower than her shoulders, her chin tucked naturally against her chest.
Evening out her breathing Ciar felt her body relaxing. With each exhale the emotions and stresses streamed out of her body, following the lines of her arms and legs to flow into the flagstone and join with the castle's living magical pulse. The teen's breathing and heartbeat matched the steady thrum of the castle's magic as it flowed through the school. Allowing herself to be completely vulnerable Ciar opened the door to her inner self and allowed it to flood her soul. She saw the loyalty she showed to people she was close to, the manipulativeness, the cunning, how tempermental she was, the yearning for family and love, the sadistic streak, the part that cared more for animals then humans, and finally she saw how lonely she was. A dull, greiving howl seemed to erupt from her soul as she realized how truly lonely she was.
As she pulled away from the flood Ciar felt the feeling return to her limbs as she returned to the physical body. Her hands clenched into fists but she remained almost motionless on the floor trying to comprehend what she had just realized and the howl that had just shattered everything she had ever known about herself.
