Rose, Rumor, Wave, Weave VI

Temerity knocked on Chishira's door, then opened it without waiting. "You wanted to see me?"   Chishira hopped up and smiled. "Yup! It's been a while. We've been kinda putting things off, but I think it's time we start working on that magic of yours, hm?"   Temerity hesitated. "I'm not sure. Taziel is still young, so-"   "Ripple can watch over her. Don't you want to know how you got here?"   "Of course I do. I'm just worried."   "She'll be fine!" Chishira slipped around Temerity. "Come on, let's go."   Temerity was still hesitant, but she followed Chishira outside and into the hedges.   "We'll start here. When you came here, what were you feeling?"   Temerity thought for a while. "Sad, I guess. Lonely. ... Scared."   "Great! We'll just need you to feel that again." Chishira grinned, leaned forward, and whispered in Temerity's ear. "Despair."   Temerity's eyes widened. She took a slow step back and looked around. The landscape faded, the ground becoming barren and desolate. In the distance, she saw a towering building. She started to take a step towards it instinctively. Then she felt herself be pulled back.   She breathed sharply and looked at Chishira, whose hand was in her shoulder. "What was that?"   "Your world," Chishira said simply. "Mine as well, sort of."   "I've been there before."   "Of course. It's how you came here." Chishira smiled. "When you own the world, you make the rules."   "Last time... I got lost."   "You haven't learned to navigate. That's why I'm here! I can help you figure it out. Even if it doesn't like me because I'm half Amaned Yaara." Chishira huffed and crossed her arms.   Temerity nodded. "And when I learn to navigate? I'll be able to go where I want?"   Chishira laughed. "Oh no, Temerity. When you learn to navigate, where you want will come to you."
