This is my first report. Please be kind.
When I went to meet up with Skyla, I felt uncomfortable. It was like she could see through me, all of me, in a way that no one else could. Melvin has this set of eyes and ears that is outside his body from the connection with his gel, but this was different. The air around her seemed to be feeling me out and find its way into all my crevasses, and she just stared. The look on her face was bewilderment and her eyes darted around and around. I couldn't look away and I couldn't find the right words.
We were supposed to meet up for a special training session. All of the soldiers and many of the townsfolk were already present, and I know I haven't been here long so I'm not making a lot of friends, but at least I knew a few people. She asked me what I could do, how I could do it, and what I wanted to be. I couldn't say anything.
She picked me up and put her on her shoulder. I rode around on her shoulder like a princess. I tried holding on to her neck, but it was down so low that I had to hold on to her horn instead. It was so embarassing that I couldn't even speak!
We went behind some nearby trees, she put me down, and asked if I felt self conscious or strange. No, that wasn't it. This ball of muscle with a feminine shape, hair as long as my own body, and pink-blue eyes that stared into the depths of your soul was too much. I jsut couldn't figure out what to do.
Skyla handed me a practice sword. She said to hit her as hard as I could. She just stood there. I jumped forward and hit her in the arm, but she didn't even move. Not a welt, not a scratch. She asked why I had come to the special training, and the part of me that loves to fight came out and challenged her to a fight. She laughed, but I wasn't going to make it easy. So I attacked.
I got stepped on. Her leg weighs so much. It's like being sat on by an entire person even though it was just her foot!
She asked me what else I could do, and the part of me that loves to garden came out and told her I love plants, but her eyes went wide and she picked me up on her shoulder again. She said "Let's go find Selena, princess". I had to ride on her shoulder like a proper princess after that, eyes open and carefree.
When we found Selena, she was training the soldiers with something known as "Grappling". They kept grabbing arms and legs and bodies and holding each other down. It looked kind of fun. Skyla asked Selena to come with her and we went back behind the trees again. They talked about me, asked me questions, she asked what I was, and I tried to explain that I felt like a bunch of people all at the same time. She scowled when I said something about the green man and she asked me a lot of things about what I was like, then asked Selena for a demonstration.
Skyla wanted to measure my abilities, just like Selena had done two years ago. I've grown stronger since then, and I went to prove it. I'm going to beat everyone at everything I'm good at!
I lost every time, even to alchemy. How does Skyla do alchemy without a cylinder or slime cores? She just touched things, grabbed them and turned them into something else. It was fascinating to watch. Selena could do it too, but Selena has been doing new things lately. I wonder who their teacher is?
Oh, I'm supposed to write about Skyla. Selena wanted a description and some stats. She gave me a sheet for this.
Skyla is a person who looks like a demon. She's tall, seven feet at the head, with blue horns and blue-pink eyes. She has skin the color of ash, long arms that end in large pointy hands, and legs that look more like a horse than a regular person. They're round and thick. She can jump very high and shove her hands into anything. Her entire body is covered in muscles without a single imperfection anywhere.
She has curly, long black luscious hair with blue streaks in it. Her hair is as long as I am and the hairs are large and strong, like her body. Her eyelashes are long and girly, and her body is quite feminine, but she also looks like she could pick up two of your friends and crack their heads together to make an omelete. The horns coming out of her temples make her look like a demon, but her eyes are kind and distant.
She seems to look through you most of the time, like her mind is somewhere else. Or maybe her senses. She kind of reacts in the same way that Melvin does, but differently. She always seems to know where everyone is at even where she can't see, like behind her head.
Selena said that I'm an unusual person and should evaluate Skyla in my own way. I'm going to use the Alchemic Metal scale for her qualities.
