*dissapears*

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I'll be sure to. As will you—

*Completes my ascent from the goop*

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I'll be sure to. As will you—

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Nothing you haven't seen before. But I want you to get as close as you can to the water without touching it. I don't usually start here, but you have more than enough physical prowess to bat with already.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Push-Ups as close to water, got it.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

That'll be our warmup. Good luck.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*sets myself up and begins to do push ups*
If I may ask…

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*A way into the ascent, I tap off a small platform of light that spawns momentarily beneath my upward-facing feet, and boost downward using more temporary platforms as if running down the air, charging my pistols*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Twirls my arm around rapidly and snaps into a point directly at you, resulting in focused, amplified sound from the speakers across the stadium directly on your position as rhythmic concussive blasts*

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Go ahead.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Stilgar:

*grabs mine, taking it from its sheath before wielding it in a defensvie stance*

Begin.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

What does the significance of getting close to the water do?

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Starts immediately by swiftly swinging my arm overhead for a simple slash at a downward arc*

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Physically, it requires increased self-control. But more importantly, that water is the essence of time. My hope is that you’ll build a connection to it.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*while still doing push ups*
Hm, this id definitely a way to push it.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

*Catches a glimpse of the wavering blue-white streamers dancing in the river, briefly captivating my attention*
...Yes, you need to be close enough to know it, but not close enough to consume you.
*Looks up at you*
Perhaps you’ll even develop a discipleship of fire. Either way, you’re doing well.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Fire huh?

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Whatever brings you closest to the essence of time. My master walked the way of the sands, and I found that they also suited me quite well.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

What if I find my own way?
