"Are they always so ambiguous with advice?" she asks her sister, still bouyant from discovering her spirit animal. "Usually. This communication is relatively clear," Smoke Cat Watching answers her. "I think we should recheck to make sure that the wand guarded by the Arcane Academy is in fact the one we entrusted to them," Jonas says. "Agreed," replies his bride. "But what wisdom did you gain from your dancing?" the girl wants to know. "There remains something here, besides us, he needs."

The young girl is unaware of when Smoke Cat collapses onto the grass, and begins to survey the progress of her student, she does not notice Jonas's return to join her fellow pupils under the shade tree, and she certainly doesn't feel her sore feet. All she cares about are the butterflies. They have come. And they are greeting her, speaking to her, welcoming her. There is a sense of great danger. "The wand is not your problem," one says. "Your problem is instead the wand," the other agrees.

Summer Wind is inherently graceful, so for the first few minutes her imitation of her sister is flawless, yet that's all it is, an echo without emotion. Then the dance becomes a prowl, unmistakably feline, and while the young magic student can saunter, immersing herself in this doesn't feel right; it is for Smoke Cat alone. Therefore her dancing becomes lighter, airier, more full of leaping and spinning and gesturing with her arms extended to the side and back, but still driven by the beat.

"You will not stop being you, my sister, don't worry. It is just that you will also and mainly be... other. And that's a good thing," Smoke Cat comforts the girl. "As for how to start, you just start. Sometimes it takes longer than others. If so, you'll get very tired. You may mimic me initially, but then move into steps and patterns that feel right and comfortable for you." The shaman looks around. "Can any of your admirerers keep a beat?" Summer Wind gulped. "I guess we'll find out."

"When you begin dancing, there is you, and the movement, and the drum should you be lucky enough to have one. Then, there is only the movement and the rhythm, as you begin to sublimate into the dance. Finally, all that exists is movement; you are the dance completely," the shaman explains. She smiles at the overwhelmed Summer Wind. "You may chant if that helps you." "It might, I don't... I understand in theory, but to actually do it myself... scares me... and I don't know how to begin..."
