"For beginners, closing your eyes often improves concentration," Grimnír recalls.

He closes his eyes and tries to clear his mind of stray thoughts.

"Chant the command words while taking steady, relaxed breaths."

He controls his breathing and mutters the command words like a mantra.

"Visualize a wall or a fence. Think of the strength of the earth: patience, balance, and stability."

He imagines in his mind a great earthen wall enclosing him form all sides.

"Focus your energies and release them with that single thought in mind."

He opens his eyes to see a strange blur form around him. But before he can react, the globes of light fly toward him from all sides. All that registers in his mind next are a bright flashes of light and an incredible amount of pain. He crumples to the ground in pain, his clothes heavily singed. Only the pain reminds him that he somehow survived the barrage.

[~Ahahahahahaha! You really expected that to work?]

The creatures laugh loudly as they continue to circle him. Suddenly, the largest one calls out to the others in a language he can't understand. They gather together in front of him, giggling and smiling mischievously. They seem to be playing some sort of morbid game with him.

[~Pathetic. You can do much better than that.]

"Fairies sometimes play tricks on humans, but they rarely attack people," Marisa said back then.

[~They are going to kill you. Don't doubt that for a second.]

This is way beyond the level of a prank. They look like they are ready to kill. Grimnír manages to stand up, but he is forced to lean heavily on his staff. He won't be able to take another hit like that. His eyes are starting to blur. He feels like he will fall unconscious soon.

[~Maybe I'll give you a hint, just to make this a bit more interesting.]

The fairies break from their huddle and hover in a group right in front of him. They raise their hands, forming globes of light once again.

[~Empty your mind completely. Release your energies with just that - a blank thought]

Grimnír braces himself.
