Aevia trotted on the outskirts of a new town. Her staff, Ziah, strapped to her back. She was held in a special leather sleeve of sorts that Aevia had made herself.
Aevia drew Ziah out of her sleeve and set her on the ground parrallel to herself. The almost master staffer started to meditate. It had been a long journey from the monastary. She had left everything she had known. Her master, the monks that trained there, the beautiful mounatin sides and deep valleys.
She had to do it. There was no way she would continue with the exam. She knew the exam was to the death, that was not something she would ever do to her master, her father of sorts. She continued to meditate trying to find peace.

Silent as the wind, calm as the water, Amber was flying across Ponyville, letting the flame-warm rays of sun spread the pleasant feeling along his wings, as he was scouting the ground for any place he could be alone - but for sure not to meditate. The Ponyville park was just too crowded today for any experimental moves practice ...
...but the town's outskirts were looking quite... no, not quite. Absolutely empty.
Alright. I can do that. Versus flap, gather some power, free rise, then I-Turn, Cometfall and release. That should give me enough speed, and thus force, to execute Tremble even before hitting the ground. Woah, what a noise will that be!
Mixed tactics of Cometfall and Tremble... even separate, those two moves, executed only when descending from the skies, were powerful enough to mess around the landing zone, allowing user to gain quick, sure control over surrounding battlefield. Nopony before dared to mix those two potent moves into one.
Because nopony before was as insane as Amber Moon, the black pegasus Ace Striker, former Wingsword...
The ground looks clear... - he thought, passing over the unnoticed by him lone pony meditating somewhere below. - It's time to get some power!
He suddenly stretched all of his feathers, every single in another direction, and gave a mighty flap to boost his speed. The loud, multiple whir cut and filled the cold air, as the wind struggled within his wings. Feeling the sudden rise of pressure and resistance, Amber made one more flap, ensuring his position in one line, somewhere above the meditating pony.

Aevia had almost reached her peace, when her ears picked up a flap of wings. She immediately snapped into her stance, eying the sky. She kicked Ziah into the air with a hoof, twirling. She landed on two hooves and her staff gripped in her forehoof.
"Who is there?" Aevia stated. "Friend or foe?" She still scanned the sky for the intruder.

Friend, and foe, and friend, and Joe the foe friend of Moe... wait what!?
Losing his focus Amber felt a sudden pull of his left wing - in a moment, the world was spinning rapidly, as he fell in a furious whirlwind, which used to be his line of flight...
"D-woo-woo-wooah!" - He shouted, trying in vein to stabilize his horizon.
How could it be!? No time for that, I'm loosing power and track! The only way is to pull up!
And so he did it. Straightening feathers and bending them with whole his strenght, Amber felt he's regaining his horizon, the scenery finally stopped, the green, grassy sky was once again his target... grassy sky. It took Amber exactly one second to realise he's pulling...
...down.

Aevia had spotted the 'intruder' it was a black pegasus...and he was heading right towards her. Right before she was struck by the now falling pegasus. She stuck Ziah into the ground, jumped into the air and landed, balancing on one hoof atop her staff. "Art thou ok?" She asked with concern.

Amber was used to many things. Traveling to the far horizon under the deadly desert sun, flying constantly for several hours witout a single rest... he even almost got used to the ease of life in Ponyville...
...but losing focus, and thus crashing was not something you can get used to. Especially being a kind of aviator like him.
Finally recovering from daze, Amber slowly stood up, feeling the grasp of pain in his hooves he tried to land on... and earthy taste in mouth.
"Pfu, pfu!" - he spat the ground he literally ate during his unplanned landing. Wavering slightly, he turned to the mare with confusion of her presence - and the fact he hasn't noticed her from the air - in his eyes.

Aevia swiftly dismounted Ziah and trotted over to the fallen black pegasus. "Art thou hurt?" She questioned. Hoping he was alright, if not she had learned many way to repair injuries as well as antidotes and potions for any type of injury or illness.
She somehow willed Ziah into the sheath she carried on her body. The two had a seemingly magical connection, even thought Ziah was just a piece of wood to most others. She was a part of herself, of Aevia's being. She hoof-crafted every tiny detail in her mastered weapon of choice.

"Ugh... that was some tough landing... pfu, but it's still not enough to harm me, th-thank you... wait... "
He raised his head, meeting her eyes.
"What are you doing here? Was that you who broke my focus!? I haven't seen you from up there..." - he asked, still a little dizzy. Is that a pony...? I've never seen a creature with such spots and shades...

"I was merely meditating. I did not mean to break your focus, even though you have interrupted" Aevia stated. "Mine name is Aevia and this is my staff Ziah." With her named called, Ziah flew out of her sheath, flipped end over end a few times and landed stuck in the ground.
"She is my pride and joy. I made her myself." The red pony turned to the dark pony. "What is your name?"

"My name... does it matter? I'm just another pony living in Ponyville. Nopony special..." - his sight was already locked on staff.
What's that? Is it even a weapon? No, it's made of wood. Who would fight with a wooden weapon outside the training grounds?
"So, I assume you're either magician or acrobat. And since you're not a unicorn... Have you got separated from your troupe? Or are you heading to Ponyville for a show?"

"HOW DARE Y-!.." Aevia caught herself and cleared her throat. "Excuse me... I am a monk that has trained in the art of the fighting staff. I am NOT a magician or an acrobat. And what are you pray tell? A pegasus that does not know how to fly? Seemingly, so."
Ziah reacted, flipped into the air and was posed to strike, seemingly floating next to Aevia. (it was barely resting over ear) Aevia took Ziah and placed her on the ground and sat next to her.
"Calm down, no reason to get fiesty over this pegasus." She said to her staff. "Lets start over, My name is Aevia and this is my staff Ziah. What is your name?"

Seeing the staff levitating next to her, Amber made two steps backward.
"Wh-what is that?" - Amber said, bending his head away from her. - "Um, your staff... it's floating... "
Suddenly his wings bursted open. The rays of sun passed his Okamis as a flash fulfilling their majesty.
"What kind of evil magic is that!?"

"i said before. This is Ziah, my staff. She isn't really floating...well I guess she was." Aevia noted. "It is not evil magic. I control her, we have a pseudo-magical connection, mostly through auras. We share our own special aura together. she is an extension of my body that I can control. However, sometimes she act on her own but only for a few seconds."
Aevia sat in a meditative, peaceful state. "Please join me on the ground."

"Um... excuse me. I was meaning no offense, Miss Aevia... I'm just confused and... I have to watch for myself..." - Amber whispered, slowly approaching her. He shook his head.
"Auras, connections, extensions... um. How can you truly control something that's not really attached to you? All that's just strange. And that staff, um, Zion? Zian? Ziah? Ziah, it is, right? It's your... weapon? A kind of soul-linked, I guess?" - avalanche of questions was raging in his mind as he tried to select a few important questions to speak them out loud.

"Oh its simple really. Well not really simple until you have mastered all two hundred and thirty-five forms and studying for your whole life all the while doing double the forms if you choose to hold a weapon." Aevia said nonchalantly. "It only took me 25 years."
She closed her eyes and willed Ziah into the air twirling around before finally coming back to her resting place next to her bearer. "See? Easy. Yes, it is Ziah."
