Auraelish, and Eliysiah continue climbing after a small break as they discuss the area they are in and about to enter. The bright region, a fitting name for an area of water so bright that it glows white and can be seen a great distance away. The two discuss the difference in their abilities with barriers in particular and demonstrate to each other some of the concepts. Eliysiah is grateful for the new ability to envelop herself in a snug barrier that acts as a second skin protecting her from the heat somewhat. Meanwhile Aurealish is having fun with point defense barriers, using them as physical objects.


    Auraelish naturally had talent with full directional barriers so making the skin barrier he''d done almost instinctively, and learning point defense magic allowed him to develop new uses for it as he realized the barrier could stop any physical object or even move it depending on his will and focus. Soon he was hopping around on disappearing point barriers, carving lines in the sea floor, and making little piles and simple shapes. " hmm, I wonder if you could make sculptures with you barriers." the older eclipsa says absent mindedly . "sculptures?" Auraelish says questioning no one in particular.


    [hmmm what to do with that though...heat?] focusing for a moment he stops and creates a barrier in front of him curving it around some sand and stone on the sea floor, adding heat and pressure to it. He increases the pressure and heat in a spherical shape encasing some random stuff until it glows with a dull reddish hue. Satisfied with it he gently releases the barrier away from himself first allowing the water to cool the object. After boiling some water upward the new stone ball simply sat in place as if it had always been there. "cool", and as if on que the thing cracked from the far side all the way around, but held its shape.Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    "impressive young Auraelish, perhaps you will become a stone crafter in the future" [an interesting thought]. touching the cracked stone ball Auraelish found himself enjoying this new experience a little too much, shaking himself as if cold he pulled himself away from the fascinating little object of his own creation. [did put mana into that thing?], trotting along Eliysiah caressed the little ball as she passed, she found its smooth yet cracked surface fascinating also.


    Not the only one it seems fascinated by the new stone ball, another eclipsa seemed to appear out of nowhere and begin investigating the thing also. Leaving this new arrival to his musings she simply credited to this eclipsa having some duty to record and study such things for the knowledge of the eclipsa as a whole. As they near the barriers protecting the most intense glowing bright region the two eclipsa focus themselves on full body barriers and stroll forward with confidence.
