Moar Kido!

Over the past couple of days, Gaen had done something that he truly didn’t enjoy: He didn’t water his plants. Now, something that most didn’t know about the one armed man, is that he had a very impressive green thumb, and his apartment in the fourth division barracks looked like something out of the amazon rainforest. He had plants of various types and species covering almost every square centimetre of his room. He had four spate vegetable gardens, a few different types of tree, and dozens of different flowers. Intricate and hard to follow plumbing irrigated the lot of it, probably the only technology that Gaen could wrap his head around in this day and age. For this particular training event, Gaen had turned off the water for eight of his flowers, each a different species, and each showing some signs of wilting due to the lack of life giving moisture that they enjoyed so much. Gaen arranged them in a small circle at the centre of which he was sitting cross legged. The plants were all about three meters away, and Gaen was going to try and rejuvenate them with the healing kido meant to cover a large area around the caster: Meiyu.

Okay, so this thing is supposed to be the exact same as opening revival, just over a wider area. He said to himself, remembering his notes. He started out the same way he would in casting the ‘opening revival’ spell, focusing energy into his hand, concentrating on making somebody better. It was a very peaceful practice, Gaen actually used it as a form of meditation from time to time. In this instance however, he was trying to expand the field, push it away from his hand, out, centre it on himself and try to touch thing around him with the green glowing light. He opened his eyes to check on his progress to find he was indeed in the centre of a done of luminous green light, but he was a good meter away from any of the plants he had placed. The kido he had cast was just too darn small, maybe a good meter away from the nearest plant. [color-green]Well, that’s not too good is it…[/color] He grimaced, closing his eyes again and taking a deep breath. He pushed harder, farther, trying to stretch the limits as to where his rietsu could flow. He pooled energy as fast as he could, throwing it out from his core to try and fill the space. When he next opened his eyes, he found that he had filled space alright! His apartment was entirely blanketed in a soft green light. It was actually very pretty, but when Gaen cast an eye over to the plants he had intended to heal, he found them unaffected by the light, or effected so little that Gaen couldn’t see it. A happy medium then. He sighed, mentally drawing the edge of the energy field closer in, stopping it so that every flower he had targeted was within the dome. He was using the same amount of energy though, just making the field denser, more powerful. The flowers didn’t seem to mind at all, as the soggy leaves grew fully and crisp again, sullen flower heads lifted strongly to face the sky again. When the flowers were all at a suitable strength, Gaen canceled the kido, making a note to practice that one a bit more. He also made a note to practice it around his vegetable garden since some of the plants that were in the stronger field by accident had grown quite a bit while Gaen was casting.
