Psychic's Situation

[deadsent]

Deep within the Forest of Ages, two people, a blond man and a red headed woman, were sitting across from each other. Floating between them were four medium sized rocks. The rocks were spinning slowly around a central point. That central point was represented by a small flame. The rocks slowly began to gain speed as the red-head began to sweat. The flame grew and the rocks spun faster, there was a small line of blood coming from the red-head's nose. With a gasp she snapped her eyes open and the rocks exploded outward and the flame dissipated. One came flying at her and stopped just inches from her face. She looked up to see the blond man looking at her. With a gesture he threw the rock over his shoulder and into the forest.

"Master," the woman panted while cleaning the blood from her nose, "how did I do?"

"Better. Much better then before. However,you're still putting to much energy into what you see to accomplish. Remember the more energy you use at once..."

"...the faster my brain will fall apart. I know...I just can't seem to get it right."

"Anyway, Schüler, you rest here and recover your health. I'll go get food."

A twig snapped off to the right. The blond snapped his head and glared, "Who ever you are, come out now and I might not kill you!"

"Master Lehrer...it's probably just a wild animal. Calm down."

Lehrer levitated a few pebble and aimed them at the bush.

"This is your last warning. Come out...now!"

"Woe is me..." Hans danced around the forest with his puppet, Stella, in his arms. That's all he did nowadays. He just danced. "Why can't we find someone to kill? Or at least speak to?"

He closed his eyes, sighing, before snapping them open. "What?! No, I don't mind talking to you. I love talking to you! It's just that, you and I both know that it gets boring to be all alone in the forest after a while."

He nodded to his puppet. "I'm glad you agree with me, love." He continued dancing for a few minutes, twirling around aimlessly, before freezing once more when he heard another voice.

"Come out, he says? I did not realize we were inside something..." he muttered, looking at Stella. "You want to go out there and speak to them, love?" He nodded when he heard the mans other warning, and danced out of the bushes.

Letting go of Stella, and letting her stand using his puppet magic, Hans grinned at the two new people in the clearing, and took off his hat, giving a bow. "Greetings, oh people of beauty. I am Hans von Drücken, and this is my love, Stella." Stella gave a bow as well as Hans continued. "May I have your names?"

Lehrer levitated a few more pebbles and glared at the man. He was strange. Most people would be scared for their lives in this situation.

"Our names are Lehrer and Schüler. Now, why are you here in this forest? I thought most people tended to avoid it."

Lehrer began spinning the pebbles in small orbits allowing them to gain momentum; he did not trust this man, this, Hans. Nor did he trust that puppet, Stella, he did not know what secrets it held. He also was not sure when the puppet master would snap and try and kill them. He was not stable.

"Why are we here, you ask? Well, my darling wife and I grew bored in our little shop in Eden, and decided to take a vacation." His grin, which was half hidden behind his wild hair, widened as he started dancing around the clearing they were in.

"That's a very nice trick there, my good sir," he said as he gestured for the pebbles. "However, I daresay, you look a little stiff. Have you never taken that lovely young lady out for a dance?"
