The Academy: -- lifehouse

He remembers his arrival, his caution, how scared he was.

But now, as he ages with the land, as he bares his title, gains refuge within the element, and his element. He is no longer that.

Micah has changed.

He moves easily about the Academy, a land he both knows and loves, just as much as Solira. (secretly, he loves Solira more) Today he comes as a teacher, waiting eagerly for each of his students. He had not spent as much time here as in the past, but it seemed necessary now, to be here waiting as what is expected of him. Teaching is new to him, he to is still learning. Do not think for a second he thinks highly of himself, and his position. Because in a sense it scares him.

As well as the power that accompanies it.

He hears her before he sees her. He can feel the bends of her mind as thought after curious thought passes through her mind. His earth reaches out to touch her, to feel her presence, it feels just as real as it would of if he could physically touch her. Patiently he waits, feeling her uncertainty. Immediately he wants to sooth her, to comfort her, it is him by nature.

Finally when she is ready, as she had made the call audible, but he could feel she was even seconds before that. He moves forward. Exposing himself, as his shines underneath the sun, gold and black, mixed with his patches of white. He smiles tenderly at her. His voice is calm, soothing. “hello Lifehouse, I have been waiting for you.“ It is a statement. Of course he already knows her name, he can feel it within his mind, pulsing like a new beat.

He waits for her to relax before he begins his own introduction. “I am Micah, you teacher.“ He says with a single nod. “And yes, even now you are even more apart of this land then you think, and yes, this is the very start of your journey, the start of scholar hood. I as an apprentice, can read so to say your mind, please do not be frightened, I only do it when necessary.“ He smiles now.

“But now lets begin, take a walk with me. Tell me what kind of knowledge you seek. Whether its within the elements, for personal gain, or even just to help yourself, grow comfortable in this surrounding.“

He moves easily away from her, his head tilts, waiting for her to follow, to give her the grand tour!
