Who: Sonya and Gani
What: serious, no holding back sorcery
Where: The mansion in London
When: Sunday afternoon


Sonya told Ganieda to meet her firstly in the mansion, and waiting, she wondered if she'd seen the disk yet. Tsung himself was fairly impressed and amused with Sonya's performance, and how she was able to break the woman down even more.

There was still the problem with Ganieda. Safe as she was with Merlin, David was still out there and Merlin couldn't keep an eye on her forever. Sonya thought it high time she learn some more serious magic if she was to keep herself safe.

'Pity I couldn't get a hold of David myself,' she thought as she waited outside.

Ganieda walked up towards the mansion, and waved at Sonya. She had just watched the disc, and it had pained her and disappointed her. Ganieda found that much of her anger had disappeared, leaving only a sort of dull ache where her heart should be.

So she does look a little pale and sad when Sonya sees her face.

Though her face was stern, sonya felt concerned when she saw her. "You saw the disk." She would've had to, the girl deserved answers.

Sonya led her up to the front door and inside the great building to the training room. "It's over now. The past can only hurt you if you let it." She knew that from experience all to well.

"I saw. I'm more disgusted than anything else. And sad." She shrugged. "It won't hurt me anymore. For now, I'm through."

She's going to enjoy her true family for a while and heal, and then will deal with anything else that might come up after that.

"I don't blame you, it was rather sickening when I visited her."

She brought her to the training room, this time the window curtains were drawn and near the floor mats were two chairs next to a table set with a candle and incense stick inserted into a holder. She turned to look at her to speak frankly.

"What I'm first going to teach you is how to..bring out your animal personification." She pointed to the two chairs. " It requires that you go into a deep trance to try and bring it to form. That's the generalization of it, but it's a different experience for everyone. I'm going to teach this first, because it is the more mentally draining of the two skills."

She could tell that was what Sonya thought by her expression. And it was rather pathetic.

Ganieda nodded as Sonya explained. She didn't mind trance work--she'd done it before, in a few forms.

"So...what do I do first?" she asked softly.

"I'd prefer you sit down on the mats while this is happening. I'm going to put you in a trance, but after that is the more challenging part. You'll be forced to face the less aspects of your soul that you try to hide, be them deep seated fears or those feels that you've tried to hide for so long."

"After that, it's merely just focusing on the form and letting it appear. Like so." Sonya closed her eyes, focusing, and soon she was covered in green sparks that encompassed her entire form as it shrank. When the sparks faded, instead of a human woman, was a rather large hawk.

The hawk screeched, flapping her wings a moment before the sparks once again surrounded her. The mass grew until Sonya was human again.

She shrugged. "That simple..once the first transformation's done anyway."

Ganieda watched. The transformation was so smooth, almost seamless.

"It looks very smooth, the transformation."

She was a little worried about facing up to parts of herself that she'd buried. The truth. She didn't think that she had much to hide, but...

"The first time's always the hardest." She couldn't help but smirk.

Sonya went to the table and lit the candle. Taking it by the holder, she sat down on the mat, motioning for Ganieda to do the same.

"Ganieda," she held the flame directly in front of her face. "I want you to focus on this light, there's nothing in this entire room, save the light and my voice." She spoke softly, but firmly. " I'm going to count slowly from ten and you'll feel yourself sliding deeper into yourself. You'll know when you've found what you're searching for..now, ten, nine..."

Ganieda settled herself on the mat and obediently focused on the light and concentrated.

8...7...

The rest of the room dimmed and darkened and she could no longer see Sonya, though she could hear her.

She watched the young woman fall into a trance, quickly letting out the candle and settling Ganieda on the mat. If there was anything in her soul that would scare her, and Sonya would bet her badge there was, she didn't want her to end up hurting herself.

"Ganieda, listen to my voice." She spoke slowly and firmly, as though it was an order. "I want you to search deeper into the fog, you may see things about yourself, things you don't want to know. But remember they're already apart of you..you have to accept them."

Ganieda looked, and saw. In the fog there were flickers, orange flickers, like fire. She could smell brimstone.

"It's very dark," she whispered.

Was she in the otherworld? Or in the Christian Hell? She could not tell from her surroundings.

Ganieda's eyes were wide open, though they were unfocused and she was still in the trance even as she spoke.

"The darkness is your uncertainty, your fears. Remember though, in the fog will be your soul's animal guide, you must face the fog to let it find you."

Sonya wondered if maybe it was too soon for Ganieda to have learned such an ability. Her soul would've been wounded from the betrayal and maybe not strong enough to bear against such dark aspects.

She looked around, lost. There was fire, and she'd been burned. Her limbs hurt, there were marks on her wrists and face. It hurt where the sanctified rope had touched her skin and where the holy water had touched her.

Ganieda strove to keep her breathing even and to remain calm. Her hands tensed into fists.

Sonya's mouth is burning and numb, but she can't seem to get enough, even as she can feel the heartburn kicking in. "Thank god for tumns." she thought.

She swallowed and stopped eating to study the young woman. "Anything good?" Truthfully, none of the people in the restuarant, save for Ganieda, had anything really interesting, nothing that stood out. Only a very skilled individual, one with drive as well as talent might stand out from the crowd, but there wasn't anyone like that here. Even the very successful business men seemed only concerned with profit, and that wasn't interesting, not in the long run.

Ganieda shrugged. 'Good' was a relative term. "The gentleman over there is concerned that he will lose his job, and he's put in many years with his company," she said, her eyes flicking over to where he sat.

She took another bite of her meal. "Do you ever have certain people call to you when you aren't listening to them?"

'Good' was very relative, her people used to think her a traitor, but now they saw her as a 'necessary evil'.

She raised an eyebrow. "people calling me? I'm afraid I don't follow." She took a piece of lamb and rice in a piece of bread and ate.

"What I mean is...do people who have something very bad or very good...when you pass them by, do you get something off of them, even if you aren't listening to them?"

She hoped she explained that right.

She caught Sonya when she was in mid gulp of her water glass. Sonya nodded.

"Ah, I see what you mean now."

"It goes with what I said before, you can't tell if someone's 'good' or 'bad' but you can tell their character, if their trust worthy, if they have something to hide, if they're 'innocent' or have done so many crimes that they become twisted inside. Sometimes I do notice them, practice long enough and you don't even have to really struggle to listen to souls if you just want an idea of someone. Usually it's like being in a room with several crowds talking, you don't pay attention to anyone, but sometimes, there's a person talking not so much loud as you're interested in what they're saying."

She took a plain piece of bread this time to numb her lips.

Ganieda nodded. "All right. That makes sense."

She grinned and ate a bit more.

"The inner animal skill, I thought it best to learn because the mental focus it requires. It's hard to scare after you've seen what's inside your own soul."

"The other skill..call it an insurance policy so you don't end up like Sadie and put your trust into someone you shouldn't."

What, paranoia? What's that?

Ganieda nodded. "Yes, I can see where both of those would be helpful."

She had seen herself twisted with her own power, and recognized the devastation she herself had wrought when unleashed, afraid and angry.

And she knew as well that she could be too trusting.

"I appreciate you teaching me so many things."

Sonya's long had to face her own inner darkness before she even started learning sorcery.

"When we first met, I noticed you had a lot of potential, but that you were also new to everything in this world. People of such potential are few and far between, I didn't want to risk you becoming broken before you were even able to stand on your own two feet."

She scooped some more food onto her plate and dug in.

Ganieda nodded. "It has been difficult, learning so much in such a short time, but less so than I had thought it would be. I am very thankful to have found such helpful people in such a short time."

"You've had such training before coming here, so that was why things came easier for you."

There was more to it, despite the evident damage Ganieda was capable of, she was..not so much innocent, but there was something in her that reminded Sonya of Liu Kang during the first tournament: incredibly skilled and yet possessed a gentle nature. In contrast to Sonya's own inner demons, she wanted to make sure Ganieda remained as she was, and not give in to such pain as Liu did.

"I'm grateful you have. Imagine what may've happened had you not found either of us, Merlin, Sam, me..you may've not been so lucky when David appeared."

"I would have burned down everything," she says solemnly. "And I would have relished the burning of it."

She knew that now, knew that about herself. She knew how powerful she was, knew that she could have burned a lot before she immolated herself.
