For the next two days, Lynnor trained them in sensing the flow of their internal energy. She guided their awareness along its pathways, showing them how it coursed through their limbs, pulsed through their hearts, and lingered behind their eyes. She made them sense the energy around them, feeling it in the air they breathed, in the plants and animals around, and in the earth beneath.
By the third day, they were ready to begin storing it.
They settled around the fire, all seated in lotus position.
"Now close your eyes and try to feel the energy around you," Lynnor squatted before them, watching to be sure they were doing it right.
Mozrael was very focused. Afraid, but focused.
Aramith, on the other hand...was too focused.
"You need to be focused, not tensed," Lynnor lightly flicked Aramith's forehead.
"But I'm doing exactly that," he complained.
