Stupid leaves….and mud…Kurumi was beginning to feel like she was in some sort of twilight zone trying to transfigure her leaves into planks of wood. After several failed attempts, and the remains of about a dozen crumbled plank looking leaves scattered about, Kurumi had managed to make one solid wooden plank. Phew. That meant that her use of Temran Madera was acceptabale. She had also struggled a bit with the worms…and the remains of a few of them were the evidence of that. After she had gotten over her fear of hurting the poor earth living things and thought of them more as nails than living, she had managed to transfigure some of them as well – although, one of her planks was still nailed down to one of the desks…she would have to bake the professor some cookies in apology for that later.

Kurumi took a deep breath and figured it was time to face the music. Trying to steady her hands, and her breathing for that matter, she made her way towards the supplies the professor had set out for them to use. Oooh…vines! Those seemed like fun and she could try to transfigure them into rope instead of using a snake…maybe even make a tire swing like her and Cam had done during their first Ancient Rune’s class. Then again, the professor probably wanted them to use snakes. Kurumi decided to use both and grabbed a few vines and a snake and threw them into a box. She also charmed a few of the potted plants using hovering charm to follow her as she examined the other items. Noticing the scraps of fabric, she threw about a dozen of those into her box and tried to keep her snake warm. What? It was cold in the classroom! After grabbing a few of the soggy branches, ew, she returned to her work station.

It was time to begin…once she stopped shaking that is.
