During the night around the time all the other kids and household keepers were sleeping, Leo had decided that he would go out.

However, Leo had already done this many times, the odd thing is how he had never been caught for a while, but he supposed mother gave him a temporary lay off for now.

In the edges of the boarderlines that was a special stone, supposing that it held a protective force, right then and there, Leo had found a perfect spot to experiment with waves or whatever he could figure actually. It was over the plains close to the forest, at a small creek.

The sound of the water that trinkled down the creek sounded relaxing, while crickets resonated with the atmosphere of the night.

Filled with the idea of gaining a new ability that was completely new to him, Leo was to begin.

In the theoretical sense of waves and magic.

Waves as a power was the ability to create energy through the use of vibraion. Once that did happen energy could manifest in the form of any type of element depending on the skill and aplication of outward sources of energy that pertained to the soul.

If there was no element however, it would create a humming sound that can be heard by your ears and felt by your bones.

As a start Leo wanted to try this for a bit again as always.

Practicing from the books he had taken from the owner of the church, Leo seemed confident he could pull this off.

So he focused, to bring a wave to fruition, one has to feel the energetic pulse from their aura.

As stated, he did what he was tasked to. Bringing it to life he started to envision power at his arms. While the mana in his body would shift slowly, Leo had felt this familiar feeling.

As the movement of the dense air would begin to move as well, he could feel a harmonizing push. Holding out his hand he envisioned an electrical ball of energy, much similar to the magic in his world.

A with that, he let that energy force go and hurled it from his core out of his hands.

Once he had opened his eyes right when hurling it, Leo could see a pressure of wind pushing leaves and splashing a bit of water. He was happy to have done it again, but the outcome was always the same, not like he wanted it to.

He had gone through this over and over again, trying to create a bolt of electric energy but the same type of magic could not be applied to the power of this world.

It was not like he could anyways.

He wondered why this had been, why this was what it was, but he was happy he could even do just that.

"Well that was very interesting. Not many would see that sort of skill" Out of the blue, this voice was that of a familiar woman to Leo.

This woman was Mother.

Mother was the careholder for the floorhouse, and she did help the children and watch them durring the day when they were outside playing.

However, Mother also had a past quite much similar to that of the owner of the church and the land. More mysterious than the owner, Mother had lots of skill and insight with technical ability, to that which allowed her to read Leo's wave quite carefully.

As she treated many of the children, Leo was no different, but the aura that Leo had was not the same as any other child. She would encounter children with abilities that had promising talent, like Sasha, but not as mysterious and alluring like Leo's would be.

WIth the ability to manipulate waves, one would unconciously tap into the element of their soul. Waves, or any type of wave in a general sense is the ability to extend the power of the soul from what Mother had learned so far in her lifetime. There is not a single child on the surface of the world that couldn't manipulate the power of waves. 

With all that bieng said, Upon Leo using the power of waves... He didn't exhibit an element from the seems.

Slowly walking closer behind him as he kept his gaze on Mother. She spoke clearly and soflty.

"Why don't you try that again? I would like to be the judge of your power." With a smile, she lifted her left hand up lightly and used a wave that allowed her to emit a small orb of light.

With the sudden action, Leo wasn't so sure how to react, but if it was what Mother said, then by all means he wouldn't mind at all.

Turning back to face a random tree within sight. He redid the steps that he took and closed his eyes.

Feeling the power, thinking of the form, and then envisioning it leaping from his hands, Leo held his hand outwards.

As he gathered his strength, he opened his eyes and expulsed the power he felt from his body gathered onto his hands and outwards.

Mother's eyes narrowed and her mouth was left slightly open. She was bewildered.

The sound of the wave that he had catapulted from his hands was more concentrated than before, but there was only a strong outwards pressure, it was not an elemental wave of any sort. It was only manipulating the atmosphere around it causing many stones to fly off, branches to fall, and leaves to shrudder while they fell down as well.

Leo felt like he had thrown a massive invisible boulder at a tree with just an arm once that dense force that he let go had hurled itself out. From what Leo had felt, he thought that it was more of an air punch or something. He wasn't sure if he was doing it right, because he was unsure of the method that he was using. Of course he had read the book on how to do it, But he wanted a method that would implement every strength that relayed throughout his body and the air particules in the area surrounding him.

That bieng said it still was a more difficult way to bring out waves than the method normally used to bring out waves. Which was the original 'vibrato' exercise.

This type of method, did not exist though. He was using his imagination on a scale that would affect his physical body to do this, which was originally used in his old world where magic was the implementation of operation and mana control that constricted purely of imagination and the energy around him.

Waves on the other hand, used the power of vibration to channel into different sources and modify, which was different to complete sublimination with the ability of magical expertise.

"Leo, what exactly did you do to channel such force outwards?" Mother asked bewildered. Leo in response turned to her and opened his mouth to speak about his actions, but quickly going back on it he closed his mouth and turned his head towards the small water flowing down the creek.

"I was practicing like normal, but I can't understand why the iniciation takes too long. What should I do?" As he stared off into the water, his mind begain to spin to actually figure it out.

Mother looked at him with a wince and shifted her hands.

She knelt closer to him as she held her hand with the small orb of light.

"Leo, do you see this?" As indicating as she was slowly lifting her hand up and down. Leo watched and paid close attention.

"The reason why this light is still capable of emiting itself through my hands is becaus the vibration still stays apparent. Much like you stay awake, everyone produces a sound even when they don't know it" In her hands, the small orb begain to flicker and spark, turning into a ball of blue flame now.

"Vibrations can shift and change like an instrument, they can be fine tuned, but the problem with tuning them is that you need to have the right ears for it, otherwise, you won't be able to hear your true power." Still holding onto the blue flame, Mother distanced her hand a little due to the heat.

"B-but, how do I learn to hear?" Leo asked hesitantly.

With a small giggle, Mother smiled, and proceeded to explain.

"When I say hear, I mean feel. Power can only be felt once the ability takes its occurance. For example, try putting your hands in the water."

Leo looked at Mother pondering at what she had meant. Then he had looked at the creek, slowly knelt down and put his hands into the water.

"Good. Now then, feel the sound of the water, the way it moves, the cool touch, and feel it running on your skin, that serene clear feeling that makes you thirst for its energy. It's very, life-force." With the keyword that slightly emphasized, Leo had completely understood now.

Vibration, was the life force that remained in all living things.

"You see? Everything is vibration, that is what many people fail to understand, they use the power of vibration, but not to understand it, more to endulge and empower their capabilities to fulfill their selfish desires" Mother spoke in a serious, yet coolly tone, it was like she was telling Leo something she normally wouldn't tell anyone.

Mother smiled warmly, as a checkmate feeling that she wanted Leo to understand not to take things for granted.

Leo had a small insight about what vibration is. When he had first encountered something like waves, it had struck him like as if it was simply magic, but then thinking about it again, he never really cared about the meaning of magic, or its prior structure, he only knew the procedures of how to process magic and how to manipulate it. Although his ability with magic wasn't as good as his swordsmanship it varied with people.

However, upon hearing Mother, her words reasounded in her head again.

'Everyone produces a sound even when they don't know it'

Those words sound like two meanings into one.

"I feel like you got the idea, you should be more proud of yourself, not many can handle waves" Mother smiled heartfully. However, within a few seconds, mothers tone changed as she put her hands on her hips.

"But right now, you shouldn't be having any ideas as you should be in your room. Sleeping" A more heavier tone now that a lot of time had gone by. Still this was better than having nothing learned. Leo this time was willing to go to sleep with glee.

Soon enough Leo would have to figure out how to allow himself to fix a way where he can practice waves anywhere but without gathering attention.

It was only due time till he figured.

As Mother had enforced him to sleep, she walked him towards the front of the floorhouse, and by there she had giving a slight goodnight hug before letting him off to sleep.

By the time Leo had gotten to bed. He was thinking about many things he could do to amplify his afinity with waves, but he needed to know how to change the element of how he handled waves.

Feeling sleepy though, his thoughts started to turn sluggish as he shut his eyes closed, and entered a into a deep sleep until he would wake up in the morning again.
