It was training day and he was eager to help her along with her progress. She was growing up so fast, and like her Mother she seemed intent on pushing her boundaries. In finding out exactly what she was capable of. He saw her Mother everyday when he looked at her giving him hope for the future. And no matter what the Empire claimed with their treaty Mathew didn't think it would last. At best it was a ploy to buy time while they finished something. He'd seen to much to believe that they took everything they wanted. People didn't just decide that they had enough power. Not the people that decide to take it by force at least.

Laughter and chatter fills the air, as does the occasional shout and farewell. Amidst them all is the familiar figure of his daughter, Evelyn, who breaks away from a couple of friends as they head towards the bus. "Dad!" Her face lights up at the sight of her father waiting for him, and she waves before bounding over to him.

"Now you know that's now what your power is for." He said trying to sound stern but the smile on his face said that he was proud of his little troublemaker. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum R.I.P.

She giggles again at her father's expression. "We were working on finesses!" She nods. "I wanted to show that I didn't need to use a whole lot."

He'd set her down on the ground. Putting his hands on his hips as he beamed at her. She really was just like her Mother back then. "Well are you up for practicing with your power some more?"

Out here, there was less a chance of causing damage to people, though not necessarily things. But that's why it was practice!

Mathew laughing at her jokes and antics. She was his little hell raiser. "Alright." He'd say when they finally arrived. "I think you are ready to practice fighting with the power. I will be your opponent. Think you can manage to hit me?" He asked with a wink. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum R.I.P.

Her school supplies are already cast aside as she stretches, fingers flexing towards the sky like she could draw it down to her, then going into a more defensive position as she grins. "You ready for me?" Game on.

He'd bring both of his hands up in front of him and establish firm footing on the ground. His fingers would flex as he prepared himself. "Don't worry about if I'm ready. This is about you." He was ready. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum R.I.P.

The grin stays in place, shifting more towards determination and delight in the challenge as she instead races towards her father, trying to feel any indication where the next spikes will come from by ground vibrations. The second ball is thrown when she's much closer, intending to go around behind him if she can.

It grows brighter the longer it passes between her hands until she aims it at the air around Matthew's head, intending to blind or disorient him withe the light and change in the air before following up with another, smaller ball of electricity!
