And if 'e were just a charmer.' He winked at her. A spot o' trust 'ere and there does a soul good, y'know. 'I told ye what I saw ye always was a stubborn lass. Gren rolled his eyes, tiredly, to the gray sky and back. I thought it was magic-all of it.' She shook her head. 'I saw firesingers when I was young, Gren, at a circus. 'And it was just fire, you say?' she asked. Saw 'im, marm, with me own eyes.' He shook his head. The former king's guard mopped his forehead with his sleeve. 'I hope so.' She gave her first officer, Gren, a deadpan look. Kiara adjusted her grip on her spear, keeping it trained on the gaunt creature's chest. 'Very soon now.' A hungry look hung on his pale face. 'That would be perfect!' Karen said, 'Point me at the robes!' She was trying to think of something else, but then the monk raised his gaze up and to the right. Karen felt relief, but looked pained at the demand. How do you intend to remain still while I search for his thread?' 'You are not really listening to me, I told you before that life is an illusion. 'Okay, then I also apologize for lying about that! Please let me try again, his life depends on it.' I spoke out of turn and did not intend any offense.' She put her hands together, as if in prayer. The monk shook his head in irritation, and dropped his hands. Perhaps you should seek help from some more acrobatic monks.' He rose to a standing position in a single smooth move, and held his hands to her, palms up, speaking calmly. 'Me? I gift you with my time and energy freely, and you cannot perform the first exercise of a five year old novice!' He raised his voice.

'I feel like you are just being stubborn,' Karen said. It is difficult enough to navigate the turbulence of your mind, I am not inclined to try it upside down.' 'Okay, more like head to head, then.' She tried to demonstrate with her hands, fingertip to fingertip. 'We would be lying on different sides of the body, that is not the same position.'

'Can we just lie down facing each other?' Karen considered that, and rejected the fetal position. 'How would I see your eyes if we are both in a fetal position?' Can I meditate lying down in a fetal position?' 'An hour? Seriously? I'm pretty sure, no. 'Would you prefer to stand? Can you stand still for an hour?' Karen unfolded her legs and stretched them. 'Did I not tell you to remain still? How am I to find him if you are jumping about the room?' That broke their eye contact and broke the spell, the monk looked at her in irritation.

After twenty minutes, however, despite a stubborn attempt, she could no longer remain motionless and shifted to relieve the pain in her hip. She felt his emotionless gaze strangely calming, as evidence he was not with her at all. Karen sat before the monk in the same lotus position as him, as he had commanded. All of these challenges can be seen under the writing-exercise tag. The original meta post - How would having the writing challenges on Meta work out? - that started all this may be helpful. I look forward to reading the submissions! Remember that the age limit for the site is 13 - so please avoid excessive graphic content or strong language. You're welcome to provide feedback, but please make sure that it's constructive. There will (hopefully) be writers of all different skill levels posting - I'm certainly not super good. This is merely for fun, and for some practice writing. You can either post the whole thing here, or, if you usually post your writing somewhere else, you can put a link here - although I'd advise putting something in to get people interested. After three weeks, we'll choose the next prompt and put up a new post. You can submit your entries until the end of the three weeks. It can be a work in progress, and continue working on it while receiving feedback, or it can be a finished work - anything goes. So to enter the challenge, you simply write something, and post it below.
