Episode 2: The First Mentor
Nine-year-old Daon begins his first lesson with Cholong Halmeom: learning to control pressure and breath. When fear ignites his Blueglow and draws a predator, he must stop running, feel the current, and choose the light for himself.


Your first lesson starts today.

Am I going to learn magic?

Magic is not an incantation.

We begin by making pressure and breath part of your body.

How do I... learn pressure?

Close your eyes and feel the weight of the water.

First rule: do not resist.

So heavy... It feels like my whole body is being crushed.

WHOOOOM—

Tense up, and pressure becomes your enemy.

Relax, and pressure becomes one of your senses.

Relaxing is the hardest part!

That is why it is the first lesson.


One breath. One ripple.

HOOO—

POP!

Did I... just do that?

You did not push the pressure away. You let it flow.

Now turn that flow into light.

FLASH—

Is this... your magic, Halmeom?

Blueglow. A light that makes paths and drives danger away in the deep.

I want to try.


Why won't it turn on?

Because it is not a light you can force on.

TWINKLE—

It worked for a second!

When I lost Mom's hand... I couldn't do anything.


What if I can't do anything again...?

CRACKLE—

This time... it turned on.

FWOOSH—


Wait! It's too bright!

As your feelings swell, so does the light.

If you do not calm yourself, you will put everyone in danger.

THOOM... THOOM...


What is that sound...?

Something that saw your light has come.

SWISH—

Turn off! Please, turn off!

Do not run.

Halmeom?

Feel the pressure. Remember your first lesson.

GRAAAH—


Aaaah!

Do not resist.


CRUNCH—

Don't look... feel the flow.


THOOM—

This time... I turn it on!

FWOOOSH—


This time... it lit when I wanted it to.

No. It lit when you thought of what you wanted to protect.

I was scared you would get hurt too.

Never forget that feeling. It is the root of your light.

SHAA—

It turned off.

Today, you learned how to survive.

Will I learn even cooler magic tomorrow?

Tomorrow, someone will come teach you how to steal your own light.


DRIP...

Let's see if that light still shines inside my ink.

Who are you?!


The first light had been kindled.
