As the ship landed, my ghost transmatted us out, and I took a look around. Either my teacher had some very good connections, or the Vanguard really wanted me to succeed: the location for my first training session was one of the locations used for Crucible matches. Specifically, one of the newer ones, Sector 618. "Ah, welcome, Invictus!" I turned to see my mentor holding his arms out in greeting; an Exo warlock with an excited look on his face, such that I could not imagine another. I chuckled at the gesture before replying. "Good morning, sir." He waved a hand at that. "Oh, none of that, my friend, we're both Guardians. Here, however, we are both students." When he saw my questioning stare, he chuckled back at me. "What, never heard that a teacher learns just as much from the student as the student does from them?" "Well, then, I hope not to disappoint." I said with a smile. He nodded in response. "Well, I believe I should introduce myself: my name is Samuel-12, but most simply call me Sam." "It is good to meet you, Sam," I said, extending my hand in greeting. He shook it without hestation, which slightly surprised me. "And you, Invictus. Now, on to business." He took a step back and clapped his hands together. "Most guardians take a little while to attune themselves to an element naturally. Some attune very quickly, with rare cases showing attunement immediately after resuection. In cases where we would like the process to complete fast than it naturally is, or the guardian wishes to go ahead and attune to a different element, we tend to give them a... jumpstart, if you will. A taste of the element, so that they have a model to go off of. Thankfully, arc is the simplest if the three to accomplish this with." He then held his hands in front of himself, and an orb appeared between them. With a moment's concentration, it soon filled with crackling lightning. "Here, take this," he said, handing the object to me. I took it, immediately feeling the energy within. I looked to him, then back to the orb, closing my eyes and concentrating. I quickly felt the orb drain into me, the energy traveling throughout me. I quickly responded, giving it purchase in my light, letting it bind to my light. Once it had done that, I grabbed hold of it and fed it, letting it grow again. Sam was apparently impressed. "Nice job! Now, focus that, and aim for that target, and let's see some fireworks!" I opened my eyes, my sight immediately finding the target he was talking about. Then, with an outbreath, I let it fly. And with a bright flash and a great clap of thunder, the target promptly exploded into hundreds of tiny pieces. For a moment, Sam simply stood there in surprise, before turning to me. "I... I'll be honest, I did not expect something so impressive from such a new Guardian." I scoffed a bit at that. "What, did you think it would just fizzle out and do nothing?" "Yes." At that, I chuckled a bit. "Well, I believe that is simply the beginning." With that his smile returned and he shook his head. "So it would seem, my friend, so it would seem."
