The Atlantean Compensator

However, they didn"t have a lot of appet.i.te.

And they were all quiet, but inside their heads. It was loud, very loud.

they all finished quickly...

Beazly is the first to speak, as of many times.

"..So, time to go right?

We don"t know what exactly awaits us, but it won"t be that bad."

Ayla.

"Yes, my feelings tell me so too.."

Herald. "Alright, let"s go."

They descend, one by one..

All towards the Arena...

Where the 3 Masters awaits them.

And unknown fate lies ahead of them..

They arrive, and now standing in one line in front of their masters!

Alkeyder. "Welcome again.

Like i said this is going to be the first of the three daily trainings.

The physical training.

Although It"s physical, it doesn"t mean it"s just about muscles..

It"s about the start of everything that leads to the physical as well."

Heracles. "Power comes from within, if you don"t discipline your inner soul you"ll never be powerful.

The physical body just follows.

Luckily! None of you is starting from point zero.

It"ll be easier to work on that."

Love. "And..

If you don"t love, you won"t even live enough to be powerful!"

Deep words came from all of their mouths that had everyone listenning to them carefully, a.n.a.lyzing what they possibly meant.

What"s intriguing is that everyone focused on what a master said more than another.

For example, Beazly and Joshou focused on what Power said, Ayla on what Love said and so on...

As if each part spoke more for each one of the Atlanteans..

Power. "To start off...

*Power takes few steps to the middle of the Arena*

I want each and everyone of you to try and move me from my place.

Any minor movement would do, even if it was a centimeter."

Everybody is a bit weirded by this, and doesn"t know how to react.

Alkeyder smiles.

"..A bit odd I know but, try it out.

It"s fun trust me."

Beazly. "Well...

Alright!

I"ll start first..."

Beazly gets closer to Power and puts a hand on the Master"s side, under his chest.

"I am not holding back,

I know you"re not any of the ordinary men I"ve met before.

So It wouldn"t be a problem."

Power. "I don"t want you to hold back. Quit talking!"

Beazly. "Alright.."

Beazly starts pushing Heracles with some power,

No effect!

With each second, he raises the intensity of his push..

Until some of the bricks started cracking up!!

Alkeyder notices and says. "Your friend is powerful!"

Oumad. "...But he can"t even move him!"

Alkeyder. "Well, If Heracles doesn"t want to be moved he would not even If i was the one trying.

But the ground is built from a mixture of the strongest metals in the earth. For it to be cracked a little says something."

Sebastin. "..So his name is Heracles? Woah nice..."

Alkeyder. "Yeah by the way, just call us by our names...Except for Love.

She loves being called that, she feels as if everybody is flirting with her Hehe.."

Love. "Shut up Alkeyder...You"re the one who came up with this silly idea in th..."

In the midst of this conversation, Beazly is still trying to move Heracles..

He lets out a scream.

"AAAAHHHH..."

that put all the attention arround them back again..

Then.

Beazly stops for a moment...

"d.a.m.n...I never felt like this.

To not be able to move something as I wish.."

Heracles.

"...That"s what I thought."

Herald quickly a.n.a.lyzes what the two just said, and concluded something...

"...You said Heracles wouldn"t move if he didn"t want to right?"

Alkeyder. "Yes."

Herald. "Well I think this isn"t about being so physically powerful to move him then..."

Johou replies. "You"re right, that was what i understood when he said that"s what i thought.

Especially in Beazly"s case, I think he always relied so much on his physical powers and resolves to it automatically in situations.

And that"s not the key."

Alkeyder. "Wonderful!

Just one sample and you"ve come up with the right conclusion already."

Ayla. "..Can"t we tell him that?"

Alkeyder. "You can, but that wouldn"t help him much to develop.

Right?"

Ayla. "Yeah right.."

Heracles. "So what are you going to do now?

If you think you can"t move me then simply let another take the turn."

Beazly stays silent for a little...

Then suddenly, gets near Heracles again.

Nearer this time.

And awkwardly puts both hands arround him.

Sebastin. "Yo!!...What is he doing??"

Alkeyder. "Hmmm.."

Beazly abruptly picks up Heracles using all his strength.

Funny thing is..

Heracles had no resistence, and it resulted in both of them jumping hiigh in the air.

*as they were both flying high*

Heracles. "Alright...

Can you stop holding me like this?"

Beazly laughs embara.s.singly.

"Hahhaah..Yes sure, sorry!!"

Heracles lets a very small smile to appear on his face. Not a familiar sight even for the new comers..

they both land off back on the Arena.

The scene was pretty funny for all of them, including Elara!

Alkeyder comments.

"He succeeded. Although Heracles made it easy for him.

But it"s still impressive that he managed to think of that quickly and didn"t give up."

Sebastin. "Yeaaaah!! WAY TO GO BEAZLY!!"

Beazly looks back and smiles at them.

Heracles. "You pa.s.sed, you can go now.

I hope you"ll think more of this though..It has more meaning than what you might think."

Beazly. "Yes sir, thank you!"

Beazly gets back with the others.

Oumad. "Good job brother!"

Beazly. "Appreciated..."

Alkeyder. "Alright, who"s next?"

...

Joshou volunteers. "Me..I am next!"

Alkeyder. "Alright, the floor is yours."

Joshou advances towards Heracles, but doesn"t get nearly as close as Beazly did.

He kept what is called "fighting distance" between him and The Master..

And showed his respect by nodding his head down, as martial artists would do before engaging in a fight.

Which Heracles replies back with the same gesture!

As Joshou slowly, escapes eye sight...
