    Task: 3A
    Part 2:[Link]
    Application: [Link]

    This was actually supposed to be humorous piece (as you can see from the sketch)--- then my sadistic tendencies kicked in. :iconmingplz: I may also be a masochist. I mean, that background killed me. And it's not even that good---
      Arms spread, body taut, Kieran hung suspended a foot above ground. His body shook as beads of sweat trailed down the side of his jaw. His muscles burned too. It felt as if a fire had been lit under his skin.

      How long had he hung there?
      Hours.

      The other trainees had either passed their tests with flying colors or failed and now awaited their second shot to pass. He was one who of those who failed. Others originally thought that he would pass, seeing as he hadn't face planted, but they were soon proven wrong. What they originally thought was a funny stunt to keep himself suspended was really all he could do. He couldn't hover vertically like the others. He was simply stuck.

      Being the stubborn one, he refused to be put down despite the tests being over for the day. So, there he was, barely keeping balance.

      Day slowly faded to night and the dining hall was lit, overflowing with muffled laughter and talk. Kieran tried to mute the noise and once more, flip himself into a standing position. That didn't work. As much as his brain willed it, his body couldn't even twitch.

      That was, until he heard someone making their way towards him.

      "Kieran, you're still here?"

      Haimi.

      Kieran opened his eyes to squint at the ground, reddened with the light of flame. Why was she here?

      "That's it. I'm getting you down..."

      Kieran's eyes widened as he struggled to grunt out a weak "no", but she chose to ignore it.

      Stop. Stop. Stop! He didn't want to get down. He didn't want to give in now. He didn't want her too see just how weak he really was. Yet the ground was steadily coming nearer to him. The second his chest met with the ground, the rest of his limbs collapsed in suit.

      His body burned.
      His vision blurred.
      His stomach churned.

      "Damn...it..."


    Tl;dr: Kieran sucks at balance. He spends several hours in his 'superman' pose because he's a stubborn butt. Haimi got him down eventually. He does pass the test the next time after having a crash course with her.
