I could feel it. I could feel it in my bones. I could feel it in my soul.
The wind. It asked me to dance with it. It's soft, swift rustles through the leaves... it was calling my name.
And I wanted to be with it. Wanted to go out there and... live...
It was always like this. Always had been. I felt the wind. I felt its very essence. How it moved, how it sang... I was one with it. I wonder if the others feel it, too.
It was calling me... Begging me to dance with it. Please, let me dance with you...
It's true. I'm a Jupiter Adept. I have its powers surging through my veins, dormant, waiting to be unleashed. Maybe that's why I was the only one able to hear this...
It's started to rain.
I had to get out there.
I left my warm bed, careful not to wake the others around me. I took my rod sitting by my bed, and silently walked out of the inn. There was no one there. I was all alone.
Once outside, the howling of the wind greeted me, as the waters of the heavens fell from the sky. A flash of lightening lit up the gathering clouds.
This was home.
I sighed in content, and closed my eyes. A harsh breeze ruffled my hair, whispering as it passed. The thunder crashed high above me.
I lifted my rod, and concentrated my psyenery into it. It gave me light, a soft green hue.
Dance with me... it whispered. I smiled, as I felt the wind nudging me. I gave into the feeling, and went with the flow. Twisting in circles, arms extended, I turned and turned and turned... It felt like I was flying...
And I danced free from cares. Free from the dangers ahead of me. Free
from the demons of my mind. It was like a dream, and I never wanted to
wake up.
