Rouge's Lessons: Seigels

"What're you doing, Brother?"

I looked up from where I was seated as Lise called for my attention. Greeted by her ever-curious eyes, the fact that she had seemingly never lost her innocence despite being stuck here in the Furnace with me was both sad and amazing.

"I'm just trying to recall a few of the Seigels Father taught me," I smiled at her as I raised my hand to ruffle her hair. "I have a lot to teach you, and Seigels are pretty much our tools as Nenners to work our magic."

"Magic?"

I chuckled at her curiosity. "Well, it's technically called Wesen, but it's pretty much the same," I explained, preparing to give her a few lessons. "Here, let me show you a few Seigels that you have to know if you want to even begin understanding how our skills work."

Using the soot covering the metallic floor below us, I began sketching the rudimentary Seigels that Father taught me. From Right Angles to Wavelengths of various shapes and sizes, each line and curve correlated to a different property that the Seigel could imbue onto the material it was etched on.

"Ooh... Those look pretty," Lise cooed with a childlike wonder.

"They can look even prettier if you know what you're doing," I smirked at her as I began pointing at the first of many Seigels on the ground. "Like this one. It's an arrow used to denote the wind element."

"And what about this line?"

"It's the standard for basic hardening," I quickly answered. "Of course, overlapping them would also mean that its properties will be compounded on top of each other."

"I see," Lise nodded in understanding. "So if I mix and match them, I get to experiment with them?"

I raised an eyebrow at her words. She hadn't even heard of Seigels and she was already on the part where she wanted to experiment? "I think that's still a bit beyond you."

My little sister pouted even as I gave her a soft smile. She was far too bright for her own good sometimes, but that just meant that she was going to be a terror once she grew up some more.

"It won't be for long, Brother."

"I'm sure of that, Lise," I chuckled. "Of that, I'm sure."
