[Action] ~ Practicing Magic

[greenmagick]

It had taken her awhile to find the perfect place but she soon found a corner of the city where no one was around. She prefered somewhere far away from the residence of the city to practice.

She started by focusing the dark spell and casting it to hover around her. Three dark spheres of matter orbit around her as she focused. Ultima. Her focus faltered and the spheres shrink before slamming into the ground at her feet.

As the dust settles she carefully rose from the ruins. Terra managed to keep the explosion small but she knew some people would come running after seeing the plume of dust. It wasn't so bad. Only the ground was destroyed.

She brushed herself off trying to figure out what to do next.

"My goodness, girl! You should be more careful with such a destructive spell!" Merlin calls out as the dust settles, stumbling and tripping over loose bits of rock as he closes the distance between the two.

"You've got quite the talent with magic, but it needs focus!" He says after coming close enough to the girl that he needs no longer shout. In the interim, his hat has been knocked to the side, so he takes a moment to put it back on properly. "Where did you learn to do that, anyway?"

[greenmagick]

Terra takes a few steps back stunned. She isn't used to people shouting at her.

"My teacher taught me... I'm sorry... I was trying to practice..."

He looks upset.

It's at this point Merlin realizes he's a bit too loud and noisy for such a meek girl. "Well... Best that you're practicing such a spell away from other people. But what are you doing with such destructive magic, my girl? Surely a lesser spell would be more than enough to defend yourself from the average ruffian!"

At least from what he was able to observe, it looks as though she had condensed energy of some description, and it didn't appear to have any elemental basis. "Merlin's my name. I happen to do a bit of teaching myself." He explains, offering his hand and a smile in polite greeting.

Terra places her hand in his a nods. "I have to practice. It's the only way I could think of to regain my memories." Her voice is soft but it sounds as if she is looking in a far off world. A world clouded in a haze that she couldn't see through.

"I have a teacher here in the city and he told me it was a spell I used to know well." She fought for war not something so weak as a passerby. It was sad but necessary.

"You've lost your memory?" Merlin asks with concern. "Does your teacher know how it happened?" Women soldiers were certainly uncommon, but witches at the least were not unheard of. Perhaps this girl was some fashion of such?

"I'd like to meet your teacher, my dear. Perhaps together we might find a way to restore your memory." After all, Merlin would just feel awful leaving someone so lost like this.

[greenmagick]

"Um... I don't think that is a good idea." It was a sinking feeling that she couldn't place but he scared her. "It's my uncle and he's, he's trying to help."

"I just need to practice to get my memory back slowly over time." That is what she was told and that is what she believes.

[anachronize]

"No good person in their right might would refuse you aid, my dear." He answers quite firmly. Sorry Terra, you're not changing his mind.

"I happen to be quite the wizard myself, I'm sure I could figure something out!"

[greenmagick]

Terra gives him a nervous smile. "Well if you do talk to him. Let me know how it goes. He's rather elusive when he wants to be." She doesn't know what to say. It sounds like a bad idea but he didn't look like she would take no as an answer.
