He furrowed his eyebrows in concentration. It had to look wet. It had to feel wet. It had to smell wet. And when you drink it, it had to taste like water.
He thought there was only one way to do that. Pour water over someone's head.
And after 4, failing attempts and several more hours of practicing, he was ready to give up. But maybe, it would become cliched and work for the last time.
His cloak was slung over hte back of a wooden seat in the library, and he had a corner to hiimself, as it was a pleasntly hot summers' afternoon and most of the citizens were outside enjoyin the sunshine.
He concentrated. "Adurna!"
Something wet appeared allright. It wasn't prettily formed like his other halves, but it was water. He dipped a finger into it experimentinly. It felt wet to him. It looked wet. It...smelled....he lent close. What did water smell like anyway?
Well. It was good. But he wasn't ready to taste it yet. Just in case.
He let the sparkling drops and twirls of water fade away into the dusty silence of the library.
