The First Lesson of the Hollow Knight

It had been a while that Naia had met her great grandfather or something among those lines and that received a book on how to use her powers from him. Her grandfather as she called him was staying at the house She lived it. She had spent more time in the library and the garden in the building instead of her room on the second floor. The building had been quite big and she was worried that her grandfather would get lost from time to time but it appeared that he wasn't having too much trouble. She wondered what would happen if James came over and met her grandfather. She hoped they would get along as she had been doing with her grandfather. She had been getting used to him little by little as he stayed in one of the rooms of the building. She had been cooking most of the meals and noticed her grandfather had not had any complaints or stated any at least. She wondered if her cooking was even good as spent some time in her garden picking some of the ripe fruit and vegetables. She gathered some herbs to use in the tea she was planning on making for the day.

She had spent a lot of her time reading the book she was given. It was very large and heavy so she couldn't constantly move it so she had left it in the massive library and went their often to read it. The book gave her a lot of confusion as it stated powers she didn't have and wasn't sure she would even obtain. He powers where not mentioned with in the book only some of the elements that she could used were mentioned. As she skimmed some of the pages she thought about how some of the ways she could use her current abilities. Could their be any other way for her to use them? She hardly ever got into fights or even got angry she more likely hid her true feelings but she knew around James because she was close had usually let him have it especially when he screwed up or did something stupid.

Naia had to thank James for helping her discover her current ability but she also had to thank him for some of the strange names the moves had. Naia had been able to affect the earth around her when not using any transformations and had basically been able to use this ability with much ease. Ranging from small vines or branches coming from the ground to points to at times where pillars of earth, dirt, and rock could erupt. These moves really didn't have any special names like what James had named her abilities when she uses her partial transformation. In her most basic form she was more likely to attack from a distance as she had once to mess with James as he had upset her. Using vines to tie him from a distance.

Then came her Dragon form this form she wasn't too familiar with as she had little practice with this one. In this form she loses her ability to use earth but becomes a dragon being able to attack from the air and had control over water and ice. She couldn't think of much she could do in this form and attack with a watery breath attack that can freeze on contact but wasn't sure how powerful this move could really be. Then came her partial transformation where she transforms parts of her body into a smaller dragon form. This form was limited to a period of time and she gained control of Ice and wind abilities but in this form all her ability had strange names because of James. Such abilities being Tornado Dragon Kick which uses a certain set of transformed parts and kicking with a set amount of power. This ability could be powered up and made into Hurricane Dragon Kick. She had grown too used to yelling out the names as she used them it embarrassed her. She blamed James for that.

She had informed her grandfather of all her abilities and how she uses them. She also explained to him her limits. He seemed to understand and must have been taking that into account for what ever he may have decided to do with her next. She was going to learn from him as he stated before she just had to get used to it quickly and learn quickly.

Naia’s Grandfather came into the library as she was reading the code x book he gave her. He had informed her that is was time that she started her combat training. She looked at the armor her grandfather was offering her. As she stared at it all she could think about was how much she detested it. It would grow with her and probably help her with her powers but the colors turned her off the style of it also gave it an old looking style. It looked plain ugly, heavy, and may even hinder her. She learned bits and pieces of her powers and learned to create an armor from nature which could be hidden and concealed very easily with the biggest bonus being that it was completely light weight. She never really had a reason to use it as she avoided fights often and only used her powers of she deemed them necessary to use. She thought of a reason to tell her grandfather why she didn't like the armor but the few facts she thought of came to mind.

"Um Excuse me grandfather is it possible that i could avoid wearing that armor? I really feel as the armor would probably be a hindrance and would just be very irritating. It does not look very appeasing to wear."

Suddenly Naia felt James nearby, she knew when ever he was around but why was he hiding and why didn't he use the front door....again. Naia had warned him once before to use the door and not to suddenly appear inside her house. It had also been another lengthy period of time that James had disappeared and hadn't appeared. Now that he had shown up she can give him a piece of her mind. As James came out and started speaking to her grandfather it became quite clear to her that he thought her grandfather was hollow. Naia hadn't really encountered many so she couldn't say for sure that what she thought but then James started ordering her around which bothered her a little but she kept that thought to herself as she softly spoke to James.

"James why did you teleport in? I told you last time to use the door or i would kick you out." Naia sighed then continued speaking "At least you can stay but where in the world have you been you kept disappearing again and left me alone til i found my grandfather. That is no fair you go off doing what you want abandoning me. So James i see you met my Grandfather. Grandfather i want you to meet my friend James. Grandfather, James. James, Grandfather. I known him for a while now. James my grandfather has currently helping me with my powers right now so i can use them better and find how to use them to there best extent. So please do not give these stupid names as well like the abilities i use while in my partial transformation." Naia looked at her grandfather and spoke to him directly no longer looking at James. "Grandfather what is it that we will start out doing for my training?"

Naia was looking forward to her training but was also fearful of it. She didn't want to keep seeing herself as a monster. Many people were already afraid of her and even she was fearful of her power because of how much of a monster it turned her into. She wanted to over come this fear and push herself a little further and wanted to learn more of what her power really was. Was her power something negative or is it something positive.

Naia gave an apologetic look toward her grandfather and gave him a small bow to express her forgiveness. She never meant to hurt him and understood that he was doing his best to help her achieve a better understanding of her power but she wasn't willing to wear that strange horrible looking armor. Since they were in the forest they could just go outside a small distance away from the house to train. That is what she did before with James to obtain her current power. She spent countless hours learning how to use her moves but she had never gotten into a real conflict that required use of her abilities. She always avoided any conflict and never had many situations where she had to use her powers. The armor might have have abilities that boost her powers but it might be better if they get the armor remade into something more that she could wear.

Naia then angrily looked at James once he made the comment about her being naked. She wouldn't allow anyone to spot her naked if anyone would take her measurements she would do it on her own. Naia went up and hit james in the head

"No i can do it myself you idiot."

Naia spoke in a her quiet demeanor but made her voice known and said it so people would know there was a bit of soft light anger.

Naia then noticed a little girl she had never noticed before. Her sudden appearance frightened her. She wondered who she was and why was she here. What frightened her worse was the sound she made when she appeared. She made a noise similar to thunder and lightening this frightened her and she decided to head out side to stay away from the little girl. This way she could possibly avoid any more lightning and thunder sounds.
