"Right well done class!" she said clapping her hands together. "Now come and get a flame resistant mole skin pouch and find your bush!"
Seren summoned a box that had been sitting away in the corner, and removed the lid. Flame resistant mole skin pouches for everyone. "Come and get 'em." She wasn't about to go around and hand them out, they were all capable of walking.
"Now remember you want to cool the seeds only, not the whole plant..." that was very vital. "Also make sure you don't FREEZE the seed, you only want to cool it down enough so you can pick it off with ease. You'll know that it's sufficiently cool enough when it changes from red to brown... do not under any circumstances freeze it entirely, that will only kill it."
But it was bound to happen at some point. "If you do happen to kill a seed, take a breather, refocus and try again... practice makes perfect! and the key to success is focus and concentration."
That was about enough talking now yes? Nobody wanted to listen to a crazy plant lady harp on about not killing her little babies.
"Right get to it! you need to collect six seeds, we don't want your bushes left bare."
"Once you've done that, put your pouch of seeds back into this box here and then we'll move on to the last activity. I promise you it'll be a beauty."
OOC: you have 24 hours to complete this task before we move on to the very last activity of the lesson. For this section you may post as many times as you like, BUT you need to post a minimum of 2 times! Have fun! and we won't eat you if you accidently kill a seed or two XD
Alyssa listened as the Professor gave instructions on what she needed to do next. Once the Professor was done and had given them permission to start, Alyssa went over to the box where the mole skin flame resistant pouches and picked up one, before she went looking for her Fireseed plant. She looked in the darkest corners of the greenhouse until she found the one labelled
ALYSSA POTTER.
She picked it up and placed it on the nearest empty workspace. Alyssa unholstered her wand before putting on her dragonhide gloves again. Then she looked at her plant until she spotted one seed that she could easily get to. She first practiced the incantation again in her mind,'
GLAY-see-us...GLAY-see-us..GLAY-see-us...'. Now she was ready.
Pointing her wand and aiming it at the seed, she concentrated on the freezing spell, and how cold and strong she wanted the air to be before saying,"
GLAY-see-us". Icy air wafted out of her wand and hit the seed. Alyssa concentrated on the spell watching as the icy air enveloped the seed she was targetting. She watched closely and once the color of the seed changed from red to brown, she said, "
Finite" ending the spell and with one gloved hand reached out and gently removed the seed from her plant. '
One down, Five to go,'Alyssa thought to herself and she placed the seed into the mole skin pouch. Now for the next.
Alyssa turned back to her plant and looked for another seed that she could retrieve. Once she found the second one, she closed her eyes and concentrated on the spell and what she wanted it to do. Then she pointed her wand and aimed it at the seed and said,"
GLAY-see-us". Again icy cold air wafted from her wand and enveloped the seed.
Concentrating on the spell, Alyssa watched as the icy air started to chill the seed. Once the seed changed color from red to brown again, Alyssa pointed her wand away and ended the spell saying,"
Finite". She retrieve the second seed from the plant, and placed it into her pouch.
