Where to Pirate the Reef and the Academy are on the same level, there is no competition for Hypatia. It is not that she cannot call the Reef home, but that the Academy has enveloped her so fully that she feels bound to call it not just her home, but her sanctuary. It is her comfort, her peace. It is sinister though, for it steals her away from her job in the Reef, where she should be guiding and learning. The Academy holds her prisoner.
Hypatia needs to learn to escape.
“Pirate.” Hypatia smiles at him as he approaches her. She is careful with her Fire around those with Wind. After all, she does not want to be Alpha dog. She curves her power, throwing it into the back of her mind, so that the Wind can feel more at ease. Magnolia feels comfortable enough; Hypatia believes Pirate’s Wind should feel fine enough to venture out. She does not want to stifle the Elements, after all.
Hypatia listens. She looks softer with her Fire more mellow. She does not burn, but smolders. Her ears flicker, her eyes radiant. She is a light, a small candle that Pirate writes his notes next too. She is the hope and the future. Only when she can control it though. “I am,” Hypatia begins, holding Pirate’s gaze, “very proud of you, Pirate. But there is something…”
This something Hypatia must take a moment to grasp. It is thick and boiling in her throat. Her Fire does not want her to speak it, but she is a teacher and this is a crucial lesson. “Listen to me carefully. You must control it.” Hypatia speaks of the unending voices that will come into Pirate’s head, of the eagerness and impulsiveness of the Wind he now controls. “Practice, and you will overcome it.”
Hypatia has her moments, like now, when she can overcome it. And others, where is fully possess her. Like with Kale…and how she lost a teacher and a friend…
