The corridors are always empty when class is in session. Prefect for someone that needs to get away from the, ‘stressful work environment and boring teachers’. Well that’s Jaq’s excuse if he gets caught again for ditching. Yawning and walking onwards, his current appearance is bed hair and a ruffled goatee and a tired looking face. He is wearing his Rank 5 robe with no sash. Its not that he doesn’t have a sash, he just forgot somewhere in his room. He thinks. Walking through the corridors the student yawns and sighs once more, quite bored with school and what is has. He stops in her tracks and decides to do something today, something more. He grins and to himself he repeats an age old motto, “If life is boring and not looking any better, make it interesting at all cost.” The last few words he added in. Normally repeating this motto leads to some, Odd things in the Academy. Like when snails the size of small dogs populated the students dorm, or when the kitchen door was wielded shut. But today was going to be different, thought Jaq. He was going to do something ‘Bigger’, large than life in a sense. His only concerns are those that are quite nosey or curious or are teachers’ pets. He wouldn’t want anyone interrupting his great work of art. From the size and power this wont be a one day project, it could go on for a month or more, it won’t be easy either. But the optimistic trouble-maker sees this as something fun to do. Silently cheering he walks faster without hesitation.
(Hello everyone on Halflight, it is I Damion. I am starting my first RP here and I hope many would like to join and help make this work. If you are not sure what to do in this you could, A) Help Jaq with his ‘project’ B) Try stopping it before it can be done or C) Watch what will happen. Also if you have any tips on how to improve my writing/typing skills please let me know. I would appreciate it. ^_^ -Damion)

Idrial had just come in form the training grounds and she had to admit they were had gotten a lot tougher since she left almost 2 years ago. Their were no students in the hallways as they were to attend classes, some did skip and had lame excuses as to why they were skipping. Idrial tried not to get involved in that kind of thing, if they wanted to skip classes and stay in the same rank for another year or two it was up to them.
She silently made her way back to her room only to hear footsteps approaching her way, for a moment they stopped and she heard a voice. It sounded to be a male voice. She listened intently seeing if she could identify it.
“If life is boring and not looking any better, make it interesting at all cost.”
Idrial did not know who the voice belonged to and it puzzled her a little although she did admit she kept mostly to herself so maybe that was why she could not identify it or it could be a new student that she had never met. No sooner had she stopped talking the footsteps increased and they were coming her way. She wrapped her cloak that she was wearing around her body and shoved herself close to the wall and spoke very softly hardly moving her lips at all.
"Kinise an Invisa."
She became invisible to the naked eye which she could stay like this for a long time if she didn\'t move, if she moved she could still be invisible but for a shorter period of time. She slowed down her breathing just in time and a man walked towards her. It was a male wearing Level 5 robes though his sash was missing. She had seen him before and he was part of the Veneficus house. He was suppose to be good with any sort of fire magick, he walked right past her with a grin on his face. He was up to something and Idrial decided to follow staying invisible of course and surprise the lad when he stopped to his destination. She walked slowly and silently on the stone floor, she was glad for times like these she was part of the Confuto House. She smiled at that thought and continued to follow the boy that so unaware of her presence.
-
Looking around to make sure he wasn\'t followed, Jaq would walk circles and into dead ends. He couldn\'t see anyone, not like he had a feeling that someone was following him. He did it just because. With th thought of a follower behind him he continues down the Corridor and starts a ramble of a list of things to do. Muttering rather faster as his thoughts pile, uncertain where to start. "Maybe the infirmary first, there I can get the vile of...." His words trail off and he looks behind him, he sniffs alittle confused. The house of Veneficus was always full of magick type auras, and being around it alot, Jaq could smell a hint of magick nearby. "Odd...." He turns forwards and heads towards the infirmary. Still unaware of any followers
-
Idrial stayed well behind the lad she was following, he seemed a little like he knew that someone was following. Being form a house that was experts in magic he probably could sense some magick being used. She tried to keep the magic on a low so as to not to alert him although that might seem to be impossible. He spoke rather loudly which Idrial thought as odd.
"Maybe the infirmary first, there I can get the vile of...."
He looked behind him and although he could not see her he could defiantly sense the magick she was using no matter how little she was using. He sniffed the air with a confused look on his face; Idrial smiled a bit at this but was cautious to make not a sound.
"Odd...."
He kept walking and she synchronized her steps with his, she was a patient woman and even though if he were to lead her though the halls to dead ends and such she could wait him out. She followed looking forward to see what he was up too. She silently thought to herself that made her smile once more.
“This is going to be eaiser than I thought …”
-
Heading down the the infirmary Jaq was getting a vile or something. "Think think think... they won\'t hand it over..." he mutters, It must be a habit of his to talk so loud. Or he likes to hear himself talk, either one is believable. "They know me, that is the tricky part." sighing and leaning against a wall. He looks like he might be pondering something, a clever plan, a sneaky way in. Who knows. Finally he mutters. "Simple and funny. They have to fall for it... I hope." He sighs and continues once again.
Down through many corridors was the Infirmary, do to many \'incidents\' Jaq has become a locate here. He pulls the door open and it remains open for about several seconds before closing. At the Desk was Nurse Gene, Jaq favorite Male Nurse. "Eve\'n Gene." Jaq smiles mischiefly. The nurse was an old man, you could see signs of winkling upon his face and grey hair. "Aren\'t you suppose to be in classss?" The old man didn\'t even look at Jaq. "How could I go on with class when I have such a bad heart burn." Now, Maybe it was to show of, or maybe it was really his attempt to get by. But Jaq increases the heat within his stomach, boiling the stomach acid and causes steam to blow out from his lips. Gene sighs. "Last room on the right the Doc will see your shorty. Show off." THe old man smile and waves the young hero through.
Walking down the hall to the last room, he makes a turn left into the Medicine storage. Quickly there he fiddles around looking for this Vile of something. "Come on where are you..." grumbles. Sometime later and about 100 viles of the wrong thing. Jaq has finally found it. "Vile of Lakce. Used in many potions to..." He looks around again, thinking he smells that magick again. Or it could be the potions
-
Idrial followed the boy as he walked to towards the Infirmary; he was talking to himself which Idrial thought rather odd. He suddenly leaned against the wall and Idrial stopped in mid step and gently placed her foot down. He was still speaking to himself still and he sighed a little while later still continuing down the hall. After through the many twists and turns they came to the infirmary and he opened the door, knowing tha it close in a couple of seconds she squeezed past with lightening speed and made her way to the other side of the room. She listened to the conversation between the nurse and the boy.
"Eve\'n Gene."
"Aren\'t you suppose to be in classes?"
"How could I go on with class when I have such a bad heart burn."
She could see steam coming out form his mouth; obviously he was good with Fire magick. The old man smiled as her waved the boy through; she could not believe they fell for such a trick.
"Last room on the right the Doc will see your shorty. Show off."
He walked through and Idrial followed keeping her distance, he went top the last room but then mad a sharp turn into the medicine storage. She wondered what could be so important that he had to steal rather than asking for it. Forgetting to shut the door as he rummaged through the cabinet she watched through the doorway.
"Come on where are you... Vile of Lakce. Used in many potions to..."
He stopped speaking and Idrial knew that he probably senesced her magick again, she backed off a little as not to alert him. No longer in the doorway or able to see him but still hear him she was now in a safe distance. She waited to see what Vile of Lakce is used for and what he planning to do with it.
-
After a few moment of sniffing the air, he shakes his head. "I must be going crazy..." he then chuckles. "Of course Jaq." fiddling with the vile he places it into his pocket and walks out the doorway. Knowing the Infirmary like that back of his hand, he took another route out. Passing through this door he ends up back in the corridor. Humming cheerfully Jaq walks with no hurry and holds up the vile. "Lakce, used in many sleeping aids. Sides effects very from drozey, delusion, stomach cramps, or mind regression." He smiles. "Side effects for most medicines are low, But the Lakce is a special one. side effects are... 100%." Jaq fiddles the vile between his fingers. "Now for that other one." He ponders. "Sure there might be some in the east tower... But its locked to students." Sighing loudly he leans against a wall and wonders.
-
"I must be going crazy... Of course Jaq."
Jaq that was his name, it sounded familar to her yet it meant nothing. He placed the vile within his pocket and Idrial pressed herself up against the wall as he walked out of the door. She followed him while he hummed away walking in no sort of hurry. Idrial kept back form him while she was walking so that she could not be so easily detected. As he exited the Infirmy through another door he held up the vile and smiled as he did so talking in a little boy sort of tone.
Lakce, used in many sleeping aids. Sides effects very from drozey, delusion, stomach cramps, or mind regression... Side effects for most medicines are low, But the Lakce is a special one. side effects are... 100%... Now for that other one, Sure there might be some in the east tower... But its locked to students."
He stopped suddenly and leaned against the wall deep within thought, Idrial wondered in she should now approuch him and take the vile or should she wait this out a little longer. She decided to wait this out for a little longer, after all he must have a place were he was going to use this Vile. She decided tha would be the place where she would make herself visible. Surprising the lad.
-
Giggling could be heard down the hallway. Two female students around 18 came around the corner in a simple chit-chat. Jaq turns to see these two girls and panics. He then quickly hides behind a pillar that was nearby and waits for the girls to pass by. His heart races as he glances at the two. They were a beautiful bunch. One long silky black hair, the other a hot auburn hair down to her shoulders. Both of them from the house of Veneficus, and both of them doesn\'t know he exists. Passing around the next corner they vanish from sight. Jaq lets out a depressing sigh and then sits on the follow with his head resting at the pillar. "Lonely life huh. Yea it is..." He takes the vile of Lakce in his hands and deeply stares into its sea-green liquid. growling in sudden anger he throws the vile against a pillar across the way breaking it into bits and pieces. "It was a stupid idea anyways..." He stands and walks down the corridor once more. He had the expression that he would shoot steam out of his ears. His footsteps echo in the empty corridors, maybe thats all his life will be like. Emptiness.
-
Idrial had heard the giggling before Jaq had, she was more attuned of her surrounding than most people. When he had heard then she could see the panic within his body and along with the clumsy footing that he had used to get behind a pillar. Idrial squished herself up against the wall having no pillar to hide behind. She watched his expression as the two girls floated by; they were beautiful she had to admit that much to herself. They only thing was these girls were much more interested in their looks rather than their studies. Besides looks would only get you so far in life.
The girls walked past her deep within conversation, a moment later they vanished around the corner and out of sight. She moved closer to Jaq seeing that he was now too depressed to notice the magic that she had used to conceal herself.
He let out a sigh as he sat down along the pillar with his head resting against it, she could see that the boy was now troubled and it was confirmed when he spoke with sadness in his voice.
"Lonely life huh. Yea it is..."
He stared into the vile and with a fit of rage her threw it against the opposite pillar where Idrial was standing and only moved in the nick of time not to get splashed with the green substance. It now stained the wall and oozed down it.
"It was a stupid idea anyways..."
He got up and started to walk away from the scene, now Idrial was the time to expose herself to him. She got ahead of him swiftly and waited till he just passed her. She grabbed the back of his robe with her strong hand and shoved him against the with her arm coming around for where she had grabbed him, her forearm pressing against his neck with a knife in her hand just in case he tried to do anything stupid. She spoke but still invisible to his eye.
"Now who is going to clean that mess up ...Hmmm?"
She then became visible towering over him since she was over six feet tall. She smiled in a sly sort of way but it vanished just as quickly and she looked deeply into his eyes.
"Now I am going to tell you now you try anything stupid and this blade will stuck in a very painful place ... Now what were you up too Jaq?"
-
Jaq walks along the way, then suddenly he was in a head lock from some invisible woman. "Ack!" he says as a strong around wraps around his neck and a knife is pressed into his skin.
"Now who is going to clean that mess up ...Hmmm?"
With this assassin so close he could smell the Magick used to keep her hidden. He wasn\'t going crazy was the only good thought he had.
"Now I am going to tell you now you try anything stupid and this blade will stuck in a very painful place ... Now what were you up too Jaq?"
He growls alittle, not liking this situation. "What\'s it to you, and is it also you that followed me from the start? I am surprised you were able to use such art without me detecting it. Never the less, someone so pretty eye\'d should not use violences to get a man they\'d stalk for the day. A simple question of what place to eat at would have done just as well for me." He smiles as he doesn\'t fear this mystery girl. Maybe he was crazy, she was taller than him.
"May I ask for a name?" he says softly.
-
Idrial held her knife against his throat so that it made an indent against his skin though no hard enough to cut into it, she could see on his face that hew was angry and surprised at the same time. She kept her face neutral showing no emotion. He growled deeply within his throat before speaking to her in a sort of cocky way.
"What\'s it to you, and is it also you that followed me from the start? I am surprised you were able to use such art without me detecting it. Never the less, someone so pretty eye\'d should not use violence’s to get a man they\'d stalk for the day. A simple question of what place to eat at would have done just as well for me."
Idrial let the corners of her mouth twitch a little but it was not in a good way. She gave a low laugh smiling as she did so, if this had known her he wouldn\'t have been so cocky in the first place. She had a reputation of being rougher than most High Apprentices. She pressed the knife a little harder into his throat and spoke in a low and dangerous tone.
"You’re a cocky lil bastard aren\'t you? Yes I did follow you from the start because I know any students wandering the halls are up to no good. As for the magick it takes years of practice to control the frequency of magick being used whether it is high, low, or medium. I choose low harder to defect and much harder to control... And don\'t try to butter me up by calling me pretty eyed I have little patience for polite niceties and even less for lies."
She could tell that he was not afraid of her which she thought was a mistake on his part. He was smiling and if she was a Master she would have wiped that smirk off his face so fast he would smacked into next week. He spoke softly.
"May I ask for a name?"
Idrial released some of the pressure off his neck with her knife but still held it their to a degree just in case he wanted to try something stupid. She spoke in a very plain tone showing no emotion within her voice.
"My name is Idrial High Apprentice of the House Confuto ... Now I am not going to ask you again what were you to Jaq?"
-
He groans alittle as the knife presses harder against his neck. It seems he couldn\'t get her to be some what nicer. He tried not to move at all, for a concern that this female would mistake his action and cut open his throat.
"You’re a cocky lil bastard aren\'t you? Yes I did follow you from the start because I know any students wandering the halls are up to no good. As for the magick it takes years of practice to control the frequency of magick being used whether it is high, low, or medium. I choose low harder to defect and much harder to control... And don\'t try to butter me up by calling me pretty eyed I have little patience for polite niceties and even less for lies."
"My name is Idrial High Apprentice of the House Confuto ... Now I am not going to ask you again what were you to Jaq?"
Jaq nods slowly taking in the name. "Cocky I may be." He starts. "House of Confuto, why do you bully us magick users? And why do you think just because I was walking the halls during class I was up to no good. But since you trailed me you found that out for yourself. But Idrial is a nice name. A High Apprentice too, its a honor oh great cloaker." he adds sarcasm at the end to make it just right. "I can not tell you what it is I am doing, for it will not happen, not anymore at least. That was the last vile of Lakce at this school." He sighs. "Please let me go, we could talk. The weather is nice for a walk... Maybe." He tries his best not to look afraid, and it was damn hard with a knife and a dangerously tone voice in his face. "12 minutes...." he whispers
-
"Cocky I may be. House of Confuto, why do you bully us magick users? And why do you think just because I was walking the halls during class I was up to no good. But since you trailed me you found that out for yourself. But Idrial is a nice name. A High Apprentice too, it’s a honor oh great cloaker."
She could hear the sarcasm in his voice as the last sentence rolled off his tongue. She wasn\'t sure whether to press the knife harder into his neck for being cocky or rather knee him in the family jewels. She did nether and kept the knife were it was neither hindering the pressure nor increasing it.
"I can not tell you what it is I am doing, for it will not happen, not anymore at least. That was the last vile of Lakce at this school. Please let me go, we could talk. The weather is nice for a walk... Maybe.... 12 minutes...."
She sort of smiled, she could tell he was afraid even though it was hard to see and she could tell that he was telling the truth and so Idrial backed off with the knife carefully sheathing it back into her belt slowly just in case she had to pull it back out if the boy wanted to act foolishly. She spoke in a friendlier tone towards him.
"Trust me Jaq what I just did was not bullying it was more along the lines of rough Interrogation. Walk with me I won’t bite ... What do you mean by 12 minutes? "
She started to walk slowly down the hall way slowly.
-
He rubs the spot where the knife has pressed as soon as he was released. "Biting is the least of my worry." he mutters and looks over to the green goo that was once the vile of Lakce. "It takes 12 minutes for the fumes of the Lakce to take hold of a victim that happens to be within 20 yards." He smiles and turns to the female. "Its been about 9 minutes, give or take. But I wouldn\'t worry. I could carry you to the Infirmary if you pass out." He thought of something real fast and then chuckles. "You know what, maybe I should just tell you. You might learn something these words." he steps closer in the direction she was heading
-
"Biting is the least of my worry. It takes 12 minutes for the fumes of the Lakce to take hold of a victim that happens to be within 20 yards."
Idrial nodded as he spoke and clearing hearing the muttering he had just said being a half werewolf had it\'s advantages such as acute senses, her turned towards her still rubbing his neck from where she had made the impression with the knife blade. The way she had the blade against his neck it might remain to feel weird for a time but it would soon fade. He smiled again as he spoke to her with a bit of cockiness in his voice along with some humor.
"Its been about 9 minutes, give or take. But I wouldn\'t worry. I could carry you to the Infirmary if you pass out. You know what, maybe I should just tell you. You might learn something these words."
Idrial smiled a little as he said that like he was a knight and she a princess. She reached over and grabbed his arm in a playful manner and held it up noticing they had very little muscle on them. She let her cloak slip back showing her bare arm from the elbow length shirt she was wearing and it was very muscular and spoke in a humorous tone while shaking the arm a little though not hard.
"If you can get me off the ground with those little arms of yours... And yes my bite you\'d better beware of I\'m Half Werewolf and I can infect you and before you ask what\'s the other half it\'s a Shape Shifter an Animal Shape Shifter to be exact."
She let go of it smiling as she did so while showing her canines towards him. She was eager to here what Jaq had to say, she was a knowledge seeker as she liked to call herself. Even the simplest of things could be useful. She spoke again with him stepping closer to her in the direction she was going which was towards the more solitude grounds. She spoke softly to him keeping her eyes straight only giving him a glance after she was done her sentence.
"So what will I learn from your words?"
-
His eyes widen as she compared arm sizes. His little arm verse her muscular arm. He smile as a million thoughts ran through his head at such a sight. He kinda like it in a sense.
"If you can get me off the ground with those little arms of yours... And yes my bite you\'d better beware of I\'m Half Werewolf and I can infect you and before you ask what\'s the other half it\'s a Shape Shifter an Animal Shape Shifter to be exact."
~Oh shot, she is a werewolf. Strangely interesting~ he thought. He just smiles Not at all curious what the other half was. He can deal with one half now the other half later. He nods to her words of warning, rubbing his chin roughly.
"So what will I learn from your words?" she says
"Well, that heat, and or fire... can do wonders. Like with bactria and infections. With the right temperature the viral DNA can be burned off as if a trail of dirt to a wet mop. I don\'t fear infection. But if you do say, I am sure I don\'t want to be bitten in a harmful manner." He looks down at his arm and pokes at his smaller biceps. "You work out I am guessing, you seem so strong. I have no seen a female with your figure. You do honor me with looks and... hostility. But forgive I will, I would like to ask another thing. Were you born of Wolf, or were you tainted by fangs?" That he is curious about. He looks onwards with interest, never meeting a werewolf before, or talking with one.
-

Idrial nodded he was right about it heat or fire could burn off infections, she spoke in a cold kind of voice not towards him towards the curse that raced through her veins.
"Unless you wanted to boil yourself alive ... if I bit you the curse would bind to your white and red blood cells. Trust me if it could be taken care by extreme heat I would have done that a long time ago."
She looked straight ahead only looking to the side when she saw him poke at one of his biceps to which Idrial had to smile at this because it was funny. He then spoke to her in a sort plain tone with a hint of something else.
"You work out I am guessing, you seem so strong. I have no seen a female with your figure. You do honor me with looks and... hostility. But forgive I will, I would like to ask another thing. Were you born of Wolf, or were you tainted by fangs?"
Idrial had to smile and she answered his question.
"Thank you I do try my best to keep my body in shape and I\'ll take the honor and hospitality as a compliment. Now as for your second question I was born a Shape Shifter and was tainted by the Werewolf curse ... My parents did not survive and neither did that Werewolf that night... I killed it by Shape Shifting into a bear. Now with the curse in my viens I now can Shape Shift into a Werewolf whenever I want ... Want to see?"
-
"Thank you I do try my best to keep my body in shape and I\'ll take the honor and hospitality as a compliment. Now as for your second question I was born a Shape Shifter and was tainted by the Werewolf curse ... My parents did not survive and neither did that Werewolf that night... I killed it by Shape Shifting into a bear. Now with the curse in my viens I now can Shape Shift into a Werewolf whenever I want ... Want to see?"
He smiles and nods in excitement. "Yes I would, its such a techniques that is amazing in many ways." he watches closely, never seeing a shape shifter before. "Oh and its sad what happened to your family. But if they would have still been around would you have turned out the way you are now?" He then chuckles. "Its a silly question, you don\'t have to answer it." He sighs softly and goes back to watching her art
-
"Yes I would, its such a techniques that is amazing in many ways. Oh and its sad what happened to your family. But if they would have still been around would you have turned out the way you are now? Its a silly question, you don\'t have to answer it."
Jaq sighed softly before going back to watching her, this boy obviously has never seen the supernatural before for it was a dead give away of how he acted around her. Idrial spoke softly and warmly towards him.
"It was 18 years ago and I have learned to live with it. As for your second question I might not have even come to the Academy if my parents did not die but I very well would have been the same.”
Idrial kept walking making a right turn which lead outside, she couldn’t shape shift into the open and walked towards a secluded area where they wouldn’t be disturbed. It was behind the academy full of thick bush and winding trails that one could get easily lost if they did know it like the back of their hand. She spoke as they walked.
“Where I grew up Supernaturals as they called us would have been killed just for being different. It was a harsh world were I grew up and survival and secrecy is what kept us alive, If I would have stayed that night questions would have been asked and in time they would have found out what I was which then I would have met my early death. By the way there are not silly questions just silly answers.”
Idrial smiled at the last part and soon enough they came to a clearing in the heart of the bush. It was quiet and very much secluded, she had come here may times herself. Their was a wooden bench that she had dragged her herself in the dead of night not wanting to get caught. She hung her cloak on a near by tree along with her daggers, her quiver of arrows and her prized bow. She turned towards Jaq smiling, this was going to be a treat for him as she rarely did this but she was in a good mood.
She stretched her arms and legs really quick so that she wouldn’t be sore after, that was the worst. She then smiled once more before starting to shape shift into a werewolf. Her clothes melted into her skin, she grew taller and started to bulk out, her arms and legs got bigger, her eyes stayed the same colorful blue but her head changed into that of a wolf. She was in perfect control and stepped forward to where Jaq was standing. She was smiling it to him it was more like a snarl. She stepped forward once more before changing back into a human.
“What else would you like to see me Shape Shift into and remember I can only do animals. So name off a few.”
She crossed her arms onto her chest waiting for reply.
-
His eyes widen with fascination of such an act. He felt like a child at the Magick Fair for the first time. Seeing Idrial transform into a might beast, then back into a human made him wish to seek this ability. "Amazing..." was all he could say, he was speechless.
“What else would you like to see me Shape Shift into and remember I can only do animals. So name off a few.”
He shrugs and just smiles. "Any animal would be fine but wow..." He looks upon his hand and curls and straightens it. "I would feel wrong if I was given a gift to see, and could not return it. Would you like to see a trick of mine? I might be abit rusty from the lack of training." He looks up to the woman curiously for an answer
-
"Amazing... Any animal would be fine but wow .... I would feel wrong if I was given a gift to see, and could not return it. Would you like to see a trick of mine? I might be a bit rusty from the lack of training."
Idrial could see the wonder and awe in his face of what she just did, she would like to see what Jaq could do with his Magick of Fire. She smiled and answered him in a warm voice.
"Sure."
With that she then Shape Shifted into her favorite form the wolf. Black as night her fur was though her eyes remained blue instead of changing to yellow like most wolves. She was larger than most wolves due to her size in human form. She sat on the ground looking at him intently. In her wolf form she could talk telepathically like many wolves did in the wild. She spoke to Jaq in a daring kind of voice.
"Lets see what you can do Fire Boy."
-
"Lets see what you can do Fire Boy."
Oh its on, Fire boy. He grins at the dare and talks a few paces back. His arms stretch out and his breathing was reduced to little or none. The air around his felt hot, and just got hotter. A red aura quickly surrounds the pyromancer. The place were his feet touch started to melt with intense heat. The leaves upon brush and tree quickly burns with haste, leaving ash instead. His eyes open wide, and were replaced with flames. His hands taking the heat, themselves transform into scolded flesh and leaks a molten fluid that punish the ground it drips upon. The vast fire is maintain in the aura, to prevent a wild fire. Soon after his whole body is consumed by flames and vanishes from sight. The Aura fades with the fire and soon both were gone. Leaving no trace of either.
After a few moments an object was thrown far infront of the Wolf. It was a stick. "Fetch." Jaq said in a tease, he was about 20 feet behind the female and just smiles.
-
Idrial watched in her wolf form to see what the boy had learned in the talents of magick. He stepped away a few paces and she could see that he was reducing his breathing to almost nothing. She suddenly felt the air around her become hotter and saw a sort of a aura surround the boy. The earth around his feet began to melt from the fire he was producing. The leaves on the trees became nothing but ash, his eyes now became fire and his hands leaked molten lava. Then as suddenly as it came it was gone, she was impressed the boy showed great potential in the art of magick. She then saw him throw an object in front of her which looked to be like a stick. She heard a teasing kind of voice behind her.
"Fetch."
She turned around to see him smiling. She was a wolf not some dog that could be tamed. He was about twenty feet away from her and she decided to shape shift from a wolf to a a large and sleek jaguar. She ran a little and leaped with her powerful hind legs soaring through and over Jaq changing back into her human form as she did so landing on the opposite side of him only a few feet away. She turned around and looked at him speaking warmly.
"You are good with Magick Jaq but lets see how good you are when fighting with it."
She crouched a little and held out her hands creating a fiery glow around her hands. These flames though were black and blue instead of the regular orange and red like Jaq\'s. She could control fire but she was better in her animal forms though she did not tell him that for that was going to be a surprise, she smiled warmly before speaking again.
"Lets see some more of your Fire tricks and I\'ll show you some of mine."
-
"Lets see some more of your Fire tricks and I\'ll show you some of mine."
She could control fire, we doesn\'t it get better. She didn\'t tell him some things, and vis versa. "Gladly." He grins and gets into a stance. "Bewarn, Just because your a girl doesn\'t mean I will won\'t not hold back." he chuckles and stares onwards at her. Without a moment of hesitation, he charges fiercely. Both hands infront of his body and the molten lava turns into a cone of fire, Swirling towards the Shape-shifter. His eyes have quickly returns to flames. He smiles wide, never being in a fight for reals. Now he can experience it first hand with a worthy opponent. Losing was not in his mind.
-
"Gladly. Bewarn, Just because your a girl doesn\'t mean I will won\'t not hold back."
Jaq chuckled after he had spoke getting into a fighting stance quite quickly. He stared at her then in swift motion her charged at her with his hands in front of his body turning into molten lava that quickly turned into cones of fire, his eyes were now nothing but flames. He smiled wide as the lava crept its way towards Idrial. She narrowed her eyes and spoke in a low voice.
"I do not expect you to hold back ... Hear me now young Jaq just because you are only a Level Five does not mean I will hold back either."
The fire in her hands doubled in size then in a quick motion she laid her hands on the ground and a thin line of fire about 12 feet across appeared on the ground, she then quickly raised her hands and as she did so the fire from the ground rose as well creating a blue and black fire wall 8 feet tall. She moved one hand behind her still keeping on hand in front and wiggled her fingers a little and her daggers that were hanging on the tree came to her and into her hand, she then quickly buckled it to her waist with her one hand something that seemed impossible but if practiced was quite easy. She then returned her hand beside her other hand.
What many did not know was this was called a cold fire, a type of fire that was not hot at all but rather cold to the touch instead of warm or hot. Sure she could make the fire hot but that took more energy and she only did that as a finishing move. She waited for his cones of fire to hit her wall for a nasty surprise, finally they had hit and that is where they had stopped, cooling rapidly and remaining in their fire cone shape. Idrial had dropped the wall a little to about five feet and smiled as she did so talking in a sort of low tone.
"That was a neat trick but you will have to do better ... Now here’s mine."
With a swift push of her arms the fire wall began to move towards Jaq at a fast pace obliterating the cooled Fire cones in it path heading straight for Jaq.
-
"That was a neat trick but you will have to do better ... Now here’s mine."
First off, It was odd how his fire cone was quenched by the wall. It then quickly came to him that it was not hot but a rather cold fire. Secondly it came at him at a quick pace. He grins and jumps headlong at the Black wall. Before he connects, Jaq was engulf in red flames and vanishes. It became quiet. But shortly after the air grew hot with intense heat and a ball of fierce fire explodes from nothingness. He reappears from this ball and lands on the other side of the wall unharmed. Hitting the floor and rolling to his feet. He stares at the female and smiles. Raising his hand he quickly snaps his fingers and ingites all that was infront of his path.
-
He had jumped towards the wall of fire tha was coming his way, the fire may not have been a hot but the intense cold from it could cause severe frost bite. Just before it connected Jaq had engulfed himself into what looked like to be a fire ball then only seconds later reappeared on the other side of the firewall, hitting the floor and quickly getting back onto his feet. He smiled at Idrial as he stared at her then snapped his fingers and everything that she had extinguished with her fire wall had come back to life, he was good she had to admit but now she had to think fast.
She took her daggers out of their sheaths the ones that she had gotten in the Fae Realm with November. They had so many magical properties she had learned for they were infused with Fae Magick and she was only beginning to understand and discover their uses. She made the flames flow form her hands to her daggers quickly swooping them around her body head to toe as she did the fire transferred form the daggers to her body making a protective cocoon around her.
She then quickly created five fire balls. Only one would hit though the other four were for a distraction, she didn\'t feel the Fire cones when they had hit her and that is when she had sent her cold fire balls at him.
-
Jaq sense a cocoon within the fire he has created. ~She is good~ But he had no time for thought, 5 fireballs came at him. He side steps 4 of them, due to the lack of Accuracy in them, but he was alittle over confident and a 5th one came straight at him. Rapidly, his hands in great molten power caught the 5th ball of fire. The Black fire began to freeze his hands without hesitation. He growls as he loses feelings in his hands. But the ball had only a limit of power, while his hands a fueled to the max. He crushes the ball and regains heat within his fingers. He looks on to the cocoon and ponders. He then falls on his knees and starts to channel his Magick into a circle before him. This art was known to many as a summoning circle. From the size it was going to be big.
-
Idrial had seen that the first four of her fire balls had missed her target, she could see that he was a getting a little cocky as each of the first four missed him. She smiled when she saw the fifth on came straight at him when he in a panic caught it with his molten power and started to freeze his hands. She heard a low growl come from him but saw that the ball was soon crushed out by his molten heat.
Jaq had looked at her for a moment before falling to his knees channeling his Magick into the circle that was being created, Idrial did not know how big this circle would become nor what he would do with it once it was complete. She flipped through her mind very quickly trying to figure out what the best course of action.
Then it hit her Beltyn’s Freezing Blood, it was a spell that she had learned in the Highlands when she left the Academy as a High Apprentice. It was a spell that would slowly freeze the blood of someone while causing excruciating pain but not death.
She quickly increased the volume of fire in her hands till it was almost as big as her head. Then slowly let the fire come out of her finger tips in long but thin weaves. She let the fire that was protecting her body disappear and the weaves became brighter.
She then in lighting speed directed the weaves to his chest hitting them his chest square on. She smiled as she let the weaves of the fire go deeper into his body; she waited to see what he would do now that the weaves had successfully entered his body.
-
Jaq gasps as he was suddenly stuck by a painful weave of ice coldness. He groans in deep excruciating pain and gasps for air. He was losing control of his summoning, he force was leaving his product. No, he couldn\'t lose. He has is family name to honor. He increases the pain dealt to him, using its to enrage his will, creating more Magick to the summoning circle. On the edge of passing out he shouts out loudly a foreign tongue and deep within the circle reaches out a massive hand that grips the Weave and severing its connection to Jaq. He falls to his side feeling after effects of such a spell.
The massive, slimy, greasy, blister covered, scolded skin, rotting flesh, blackish red, demon hand, had a good grip on the weave and starts to pull on it, and pulls the caster closer to the circle as well. It sends electric impulses throw the Magick and shocks whoever is on the other end. Jaq tries to recover as best he could.
-
Jaq gasped for air as the weave entered his body; she could see that Jaq was slowly losing his grip on the summoning circle not knowing that he was using the pain to give more energy in the circle. She could see the pain and frustration on his face; she smiled as she increased the weave.
Suddenly he shouted something in a foreign language before falling over on his side groaning in pain. Idrial stared at the molten creature as it emerged from the circle. It hand had gripped Idrial’s weave pulling it closer to her, she tried to undo the weave as quickly as she could but was too late. She was suddenly thrown back by the electrical shocks that came up the weave and through her body.
Her back had hit a tree knocking the wind out of her, the weave had exploded from such electrical power. Her hands were badly injured, black and bloody. Idrial was thankful that was the only thing that was badly injured. The demon she wouldn\'t be able to defeat in her human form, her hands slowly started to heal but not fast enough.
She gripped her daggers almost dropping them in pain, she quickly made a star with a circle around it and spoke quickly but clearly. The demon was coming closer, the symbol started to glow and she spoke crouched down with her hands on the symbol.
"Comonta en sivia Phoenixeo!"
The power from the symbol flowed up her hands in excruciating pain, The circle that was around the star had twisted around her till she no longer could be seen. The star glowed brighter as Idrial began to change into a Blue Phoenix. She flew from the circle now showing herself. She was almost as big as the demon. She spread her wings wide taunting the Demon to come.
-
Jaq stands up and takes in a big breath of pain relieving air.
"Comonta en sivia Phoenixeo!"
Jaq looks up to see now a magnificent blue phoenix. This left Jaq speechless, never seeing one before. But it didn\'t stop the massive red demon. It only chuckles with joy to finally play with something his size. He held out his hand and dark magick swirls around his skin. Slowly a mist of black stretches wide and forms a sword. "ISQIESKZ!" The blade was quickly shock with a large amount of electricity. The demon then swings the blade with increditable amount of speed. Swinging it at the blue phoenix.
-
The demon chuckled at Idrial as if she was nothing but a toy to him. The demon held out his hand, magick swirled around it\'s hand. Slowly it formed into a long and thin sort of line before widening into a blade. Idrial turned her wings downward ready to fly if she had too.
"ISQIESKZ!"
A bolt came out of the sky shocking the sword with energy; Idrial now lifted her wings upwards towards the sky though still keeping them downward. Waiting for him to move however slight, she could tell that this demon was fast and powerful. Their was a slight twitch in the demons arm and she brought her wings down with the blade barely missing her tail. Her wings created a shockwave so powerful that it knocked the demon off it\'s feet. It was a close range attack and did not go anywhere\'s near Jaq.
She flew Higher and Higher into the sky, then went in for a dive talons first aiming for the demons chest. With Lighting speed she ripped open the demons chest exposing the heart and lethally piercing it. Before demon had died it swung at her wing hitting it with full force propelling her backwards. As flew back she changed into her human form, hitting the ground hard enough to make her bounce upon impact.
Idrial shoulder was badly wounded bleeding more than it should have been but she wouldn\'t give up. She pumped full of adrenaline her eyes on him. She grabbed her daggers and held then in a ready fight stance waiting for his move.
-
He watched as the phoenix tore through the demons chest, he saw when the sword cut into her wing. He saw she still wanted to fight even after she was badly injured. For shame. He shock his head and looks onwards at the Female. He wasn\'t going to give up either. He took up position infront of the girl and whispers loud enough. "Just give up...." He looks her straight into the eyes. Giving a sense of I don\'t want to hurt you look. He held his fingers up ready to snap and ignite at a moments notice. Sparks being to fly from his robe as he was heating up once again.
-
Idrial could feel the wound slowly start to heal due to her werewolf side of regeneration. She saw Jaq shake his head before looking straight into her eyes. He held up his fingers as if ready to snap them at any movement. He spoke in a whisper almost as if he didn\'t want Idrial to hear them but she did and quite clearly.
"Just give up...."
Too Idrial that was not an option, she believed that you must fight until three things happen. One you die, Two you faint and your body can no longer fight or Three you beg for mercy. She had never had to choose between Option One and Three; she was not going to start now. She spoke in a low voice flashing her canines.
"Obviously you do not know me that well I simply do not give up and I am not about to start now ... You have a lot to learn about dueling my boy."
She knew that she didn\'t have very many options, she sheathed her daggers quickly before turning into her werewolf form. It was the only form she could do as of now without getting stuck in mid-shift. She jumped high landing forcefully on the ground sending a speed of light shock wave towards Jaq knocking him back.
She was then upon him taking her good hand and shoving him against a tree by the throat. She then quickly changed back into a human and sent Beltyn’s Freezing Blood through his body. Idrial could feel her shoulder go into it\'s final stage of healing but she held onto the boy until she was sure that her shoulder had healed completely before doing anything else.
-
Jaq was too slow to caught the female in wolf form. He was knocked back and then thrashed into a tree. The Beltyn’s Freezing Blood made him shiver with unpleasentness. He wasn\'t going to give up either, no matter what. He grabs her hand that held his throat, and then plunge two fingers straight into her wound. His whole body then engulfs in flames, burning the hand and wound intensely. He then vanishes into the smoke releasing the female. Moments later he reappears far behind her with both hands infront of him. "Fircoa!" From the palm of the Pyromancer a dragon-like fire assembles and roars fiercely. Its eye fell upon the female and charges at her, hissing wildly.
-
She felt Jaq shiver under her massive hand, smiled a wolf grin as the Beltyn’s Freezing Blood entered his body. His human hand closed on her hand that was gripped around his throat, thier was no way he would be able to get her hand off his throat. Suddenly he stuck his two fingers into her almost healed wound, his hand and body englufed into flames burning her hand and her wound. She roared in pain as it burned it her, he then disspeared in a cloud of smoke.
She changed back into her human form, she was now on her knees, her hand badly burned but her shoulder no longer bled. His little stunt had carturized the wound meaning it would heal faster but for her hand she could not say. It was black and it had little feeling to it which was maybe for the better because the pain would be horrible. She flexed it once and it still worked fine but regeneration in due time would bring back the pain.
"Fircoa!"
She quickly turned around to see him have his palms outstretched and summoned a dragon like creature, it charged at her hissing with rage. The creature was slow yet she knew that dargons were powerful and if it got her in its jaws she was done for. She stood tried to satnd up as quickly as she could and yelled loudly.
"Kinise an Invisa."
She suddenly became invisible and she knew it wouldn\'t last for long in her state, the dragon looked around trying to locate her. She silently made it over to her bow and arrows. As soon as she touched them they became invisible as well, she then made her way towards a tree behind Jaq.It was dark in the tree and she pulled back her bow feeling nothing in her badly burned hand. Her invisiblity had worn off and she was now fully visible. Dragons were extremely weak against water, her bow wavered badly she had only one shot. She talked in a whisper but quickly.
"Canasca Breba ano estica Aqua Erupto!"
She relased her arrow and it had hit the dragon in the head, the arrow exploding upon impact. The water entered from the wound and into it\'s body, the shock of the cold water had knocked it out cold. She knocked another arrow aiming at Jaq chanting the same spell and letting the arrow go. The arrow missed landing beside, it still exploded hitting Jaq in his fire form. If this didn\'t knock him out she would have to try more drastic measures.
-
"Canasca Breba ano estica Aqua Erupto!"
Jaq saw his dragon\'s head explode from a powerful arrow. His eyes quickly caught view of the Female in the tree behind him and saw the arrow heading his direction. It misses the target yet explodes next to Jaq, the water splashes and knocks Jaq back a few steps. His flame body went out for a brief moment. Shaking off the wetness he growls and ignites hotter. He stretches out his hand at the Tree base and cuts it down. It topples overs to the ground. The tree swings and underneath it was Jaq, He wants the tree to fall on him. For reasons unknown to others but himself. He gives a grin in hopes to end this little spar soon.
-
It knocked the boy back a few steps putting out the fire that surrounded his body only for it to return brighter and hotter than before, this was not good. He then strectched out his firey hand towards the tree cutting it at the base, she jumped from the tree as it toppled towards Jaq rolling as she landed. She looked to see that the tree was headed for Jaq, her eyes grew wide as it landed pinning him underneath it. All that hot air must of gotten to his head.
She got up painfully smiling as she did so, it wasn\'t a smart move on his part. She stayed where she was knocking another arrow and pulled back aiming at Jaq, she inginted the arrow with her blue and black fire realesing it, it hit Jaq in the shoulder and the fire went into the wound flowing through his body.
-
Jaq indeed let the tree land upon him, with this Idrial took her advantage and fired an arrow or two at Jaq, one of them hitting his shoulder. He curses at the pain and pulls it out. He now has a hole in his shoulder that bleed. He took a painful breath and grips the tree upon him and shouts loudly. "Oisueaka!" The tree then burst from the inside sending tree spikes out to everything around him. Multiple spikes hit the female in many different areas. Jaq was unharmed during this action. He stands now freed from the tree\'s weight and covers his wounded arm raising his fingers back up at the female. Ready for more if she did not fall.
-
"Oisueaka!"
The tree had exploded in a million spikes; Idrial dropped her bow and put her arms up to her face. The wooden spikes impaled themselves in her arms and a few in her legs. She let her arms go down to see that Jaq was unharmed holding up his hand back up, just waiting for her to move. She had to end this here and now, she would have to use her all her strength that was left within her. She looked at the boy letting her hands fall to her sides, palms against her legs. She spoke in a low voice with a slight smile on her face.
"You are good Jaq for someone at your Level ... I can only imagine what you could be capable when you become an Apprentice ... Now it ends."
Idrial raised her hands quickly, outstretched from her body. Blood dripped from her hands and arms, she was a mess but she did not care. She could feel the air around her getting colder; a small amount of swirling water was being created in between her palms. Then with a quick motion she sent it towards Jaq as a small ball of ice. It sliced through the air with lightening speed entering the wound she had made with her arrow.
She guided it through his body, making it tear his muscles and scraping against his bones. The ice ball then exited through calf leg muscle she made it re-enter through his other arm doing the same damage. She did this six times making it on the seventh time exit through his chest.
The ice ball flew back to her hovering above her palm, hoping that it would be enough for him to crumble to the ground.
-
"You are good Jaq for someone at your Level ... I can only imagine what you could be capable when you become an Apprentice ... Now it ends."
Suddenly a ball of ice was launched at him, entering in his wound and then starts to tear at his muscles and bones. He screams in pain as it leaves from one part to the next. His chest was dealt the most damage too, as many vital organs were hit with this attack. He couldn\'t stand the assault and fell to his knees. He winces and looks forward with a painful glare. He takes in one deep breath and blows out a long streak of flames at the Female before falling to the ground face first. He then passes out...
-
Jaq fell to his knees glaring at Idrial, he then breathed in letting stream of fire come at her before he passed out. She side stepped the stream of fire thought still feeling the heat from it, their Jaq laid crumpled on the ground still breathing thankfully. She pulled out the spikes of wood from her legs before walking over to him. She kneed painfully at his body placing the back of her hand on his forehead, it was dangerously cool and she had to warm him up quickly.
She got behind him and placed her arms under his lifting him carefully as to not to wound him. She slowly dragged him over to a fallen log and propped him against it, she grabbed her cloak and wrapped him up with it. She then started to collect fire wood from he dead trees that surrounded them. She grabbed small sticks as well as larger ones using her daggers. She then set them up in a tee-pee like formation using a simple spell that would not drain her strength she lit the fire, adding wood as it grew. She placed on dagger in the fire waiting for it to grow hot; she would need that for later.
She pulled the cloak back from his chest; his shirt was soaked with blood. She then placed her other dagger at the end of his shirt slicing it up to his neck, she didn\'t want to risk injuring him by pulling it over his head. She couldn\'t see anything over so much blood; she quickly grabbed her water skin and poured some water on his chest. She tore a piece of her shirt and wiped off his chest till she could see the holes that she had made with her ice ball clearly.
She counted six in the chest; she knew the other one was in his leg but that one did not worry as much. They were still bleeding slowly but in some what large amounts, she tore more pieces of her shirt and stuffed them in the wound holes. As she stuffed the last wound hole the bleeding seemed to stop, she placed her hand on his forehead again and it was warmer.
She placed her hand in her pocket pulling out an herb; she placed it under his nose for a few seconds. He would wake in about five minutes; she went around to the other side of the fire leaning against a tree. If she was to heal him he would have to be awake. She looked down at her arms, wood still sticking out of them. She then eyed the dagger, it was not hot enough yet and so she left it for a few more minutes. She looked past the fire staring at Jaq.
-
Jaq didn\'t feel a thing though the whole thing. He would subconsciously groan here and there. His breath was shallow but still there. He bleed from his holes and started to run a fever. The strong smell of the herbs made his nose twitch, then a sudden sneeze, following that was a painful groan. His teeth grinds together and he slowly wakes. He then could feel the pain all over his body. It took a moment for his eyes to get things straight in sight. His head felt so heavy to him, he just wanted to take it off and set it down. Was happens is he slides onto side and coughs in pain. "......." His lips would move but no words could get past his lips. His body starts to shake from the illusion of being cold, a body reaction to warm itself up. His eyes finally forces on the fire ahead of him and the dagger within it. "Am I... Dead?" his words slowly escapes
-
Jaq sneezed violently and slid onto his side, he groaned a little which was to be expected. He opened his eyes slowly which coughing a little, he started to shake which Idrial took as a very good sign. His body was reacting to the cold and trying to warm itself up; he looked at the dagger that lay in the fire before speaking weakly.
"Am I... Dead?"
Idrial smiled at this and chuckled a little. She got up slowly and walked over to where she propped him up on the dead log. She pulled back the cloak that lay on his chest, the pieces of cloth were soaked and blood slowly started to leak through. She spoke with a smile and in a warm voice as she slowly pulled the pieces of cloth from his wounds.
"No your not dead Jaq ... Now I am going to heal you and don\'t worry it would be with the hot knife ... Now this is going to hurt but you will feel better."
She gently placed her hands on his chest and began to slowly but firmly started to chant words of healing in Gaelic, his wounds slowly started to heal. She knew this wound be painful as she was speeding up the healing process, wounds like this would take weeks if left to heal themselves on a human. The wounds closed over, she had repaired the damage that she had done. Idrial slowly got up and sat against a tree that was at the end of the dead log. She spoke still smiling at Jaq.
"Better?"
-
"No your not dead Jaq ... Now I am going to heal you and don\'t worry it would be with the hot knife ... Now this is going to hurt but you will feel better."
He felt alittle better hearing he isn\'t dead. But hearing about more pain didn\'t sound to good to him. But it had to be done. As Idrial chants his Gaelic words the pain increases. He groans in pain, holding some of it in. Slowly but surely his wounds close up and he takes a hard deep breath.
"Better?"
Idrial was smiling at him. He had to put on his macho man smile, like the pain was nothing. It didn\'t look so well. "Never better." He chuckles quietly. "Your a tough one... And very talented. I\'ve never seen anything like that. Or felt it in another matter." he sighs and takes another deep breath, grunting abit. "Thank you... You could have taken me to the Infirmary, but instead you healed me with your own two hands." He smiles back rubbing his chin. "I am grateful. I guess beauty isn\'t the only talent you have."
-
"Never better. You’re a tough one... And very talented. I\'ve never seen anything like that. Or felt it in another matter. Thank you... You could have taken me to the Infirmary, but instead you healed me with your own two hands. I am grateful. I guess beauty isn\'t the only talent you have."
He smiled as he spoke, grunting here and their with pain. He would feel alright but Idrial knew that he was still weak and needed to stay put for at least another hour or so for the healing to be completely affective. She smiled back at him before her eyes wandered to the blade that lay in the fire, she had done this dozens of times and yet she never seemed to get use to it. She spoke softly as she picked up the dagger careful not to let her fingers touch the white hot blade.
"You wouldn\'t have survived a trip to the Infirmary in your state, you would have died half way there so I didn\'t have a choice ... Plus I like you ... You have great potential it\'s not often I heal someone with my own two hands, it\'s maybe happened, Oh … half a dozen times."
The blade started to cool a little though it was still white hot, she was not looking forward to this but she didn\'t have a choice. She had to cauterize the wound the minute she pulled out the wood in her arms; it would leave no scars due to her regeneration on the werewolf side of her. She placed the blade down on the log, taking her hand and gripping the piece of wood that was impaled in her arm. She smiled at Jaq speaking to him.
"Don\'t worry this isn\'t as painful as it looks ... at least for me. What ever you do don\'t move the healing needs a chance to completely repair you any movement could damage your muscles further."
Idrial made sure she had a firm grip before slowly pulling the stake out, it was more painful but she didn’t want to damage herself anymore than she had too. As soon as it was out blood poured violently from the wound, she grabbed the blade and pressed it against her skin cauterizing the wound. She did this several times, breathing deeply. The first wound started to heal already, new pink skin started to emerge instead of the black skin. She looked at Jaq and smiled at him reassuringly. She spoke again though the smile no longer remained but her voice was still warm.
"I must ask were did you learn to summon magick like that, your far more advanced than any of the other Level Fives I have seen in your House.”
-
Jaq would wince each time she would press the hot blade against the wounds on her body. It looked very painful. But she would just smile at him and he would smile back. He felt less bad for hurting the girl.
"I must ask were did you learn to summon magick like that, your far more advanced than any of the other Level Fives I have seen in your House.”
He smiles and leans his heavy head back. "I learned it from my teacher. He was always pushing me towards summonings. Said there was nothing better than to have another fight your battles." he chuckles painfully. "He started me with small summonings such as frogs, sheep, and very small items. Then as the weeks passed he would push me to the limits and summon something the size of a house. It was rough, but very helpful." He then looks at the new pink skin and frowns alittle. "I\'m sorry if it hurts, I was trying to win is all." he smiles alittle and rubs his chin.
-
"I learned it from my teacher. He was always pushing me towards summonings. Said there was nothing better than to have another fight your battles.

It was rough, but very helpful. I\'m sorry if it hurts, I was trying to win is all."
Idrial smiled and nodded back, he still seemed to be in pain though not as much as before, she looked down at her hand. It was still black in many areas though some pink was showing through, she didn’t know how far the damage had gone but if the worst came she would have to cut it off then let it re-grow through regeneration. She flexed her hand, it still felt numb to her which she did not like though she her finger tips still had feeling which before they didn\'t and took that as a good sign. Idrial added more wood to the fire before speaking.
"You teacher must have seen the potential if he pushed you that hard. As for me hurting you don\'t have to apologize, I have had far worse than this ... My very first mission as a High Apprentice I had my arm right arm cut off. Almost took me a month for it to grow back. Regeneration is slow when losing a whole arm but it can be helpful ... It comes from me being Half Werewolf. Now if I was only a Shape-Shifter that arm would be gone forever.”
-
"Oh my..." He flushes hearing she had an arm cut of and just regrew it in a month. "That wolf side of you... Its something amazing." he then nods with at the fact his teach did mention once or twice about potential to become something great. "He did see that in me, when I came to the academy they wanted to put me right at apprentice, but he was so stubborn he started me off at the bottom. A rank 1 student. Quickly and with hard work I was ranked up to 4 in my first year. Then after I got my 5th rank... I just lost interest." He sighs and groans alittle now, healing up. "I never saw him again."
-
"Oh my... That wolf side of you... Its something amazing."
Idrial nodded at this, yes the wolf side of her did have it\'s perks but then again it had it\'s flaws as well. Such as silver she was highly allergic to it more so than just being a full werewolf or a shape shifter. Even being near it but not touching it made her queasy and she was a person who didn\'t get sick that easily. She listened to him as he continued no longer thinking about silver.
"He did see that in me, when I came to the academy they wanted to put me right at apprentice, but he was so stubborn he started me off at the bottom. A rank 1 student. Quickly and with hard work I was ranked up to 4 in my first year. Then after I got my 5th rank... I just lost interest. I never saw him again."
Idrial listened carefully to what Jaq was saying; it would be easy to just give up although you would think he would be bored at staying at the same rank. Her eyes wandered to the fire only to wander back to Jaq. She smiled as she spoke.
"Maybe I can re-spark your interest..."
-
"Maybe I can re-spark your interest..."
He smiles. "Oh, and how so?" This did make him very curious. Though somewhere deep within the back of his mind he thought she could be hitting on him. She did alot of that during the duel. He chuckles and then grunts again. "I wouldn\'t want to bother you Idrial, you\'ve been nice enough to me already. Why would you want to help me further. We were strangers this morning and now we are... friends?" He was kind unsure of that. They did beat each other to death. He was still hurting also. "You don\'t have to work a miracle for me."

"Oh, and how so? I wouldn\'t want to bother you Idrial, you\'ve been nice enough to me already. Why would you want to help me further. We were strangers this morning and now we are... friends? You don\'t have to work a miracle for me."
Idrial smiled at him adding more wood to the fire making it burn brighter so that at least she could see his face. It was still a little white with some pink patches coming back to his face. She looked a her hand once more, it was getting better but slowly. She looked back at Jaq smiling but speaking in a low.
"Lets just say I don’t agree with someone of your talent should be at the level you are and I am willing to help you reach the Apprentice level ... Does the East Tower mean anything to you."
-
The east tower, only apprentices are allowed into such a building. Many lower ranks have entered it through many different ways. Jaq could get in easily, or so he thinks. "Its just a tower, a tower I am not allowed in. But doesn\'t mean I have to obey that." he grins and looks up idly. "What are you planning? What is so special about the east tower?" He asks in curiosity. He felt somewhat better about himself as this female was helping him in another matter.
-
"Its just a tower, a tower I am not allowed in. But doesn\'t mean I have to obey that. What are you planning? What is so special about the east tower?"
Jaq grinned up at her, his voice full of curiously. It was not an easy building to get into and when they did it was harder to get out. Idrial had been in their numerous of times when she was making her way up through the ranks. Only once or twice she was caught but those had been because of stupid mistakes that could have been easily avoided. She leaned in a little smiling in a sly grin. She spoke in a low tone though easy for Jaq to hear.
"It is a Tower of restricted knowledge; although the books that are left to lay around to collecting dust I wouldn\'t call that restricted knowledge. The books that I am talking about are kept hidden for they know that students like to try and get into the Tower. These books just can\'t be left lying around, since you have lost an interest in your regular schooling I am suggesting that I lets just say take you under my wing and provide you with this knowledge ... What do you say?"
-
Jaq hhhmms and leans back. His thought all about the offer he had been giving. How could he refuse, more knowledge, a teacher, doing something that is restricted. It sounds to good to be true. But... it was true. Jaq nods slowly and looks at Idrial with a smile. "I gladly accept the offer." he raises his hand, spits on his palm and holds it out to shake. "Teach me this knowledge."
-
Jaq leaned back a little on the log that he was propped against. He was taking his time to think, he then nodded slowly and smiled at Idrial. It would be nice to take someone under her wing, plus he was almost like her when she was in her studies. He then spat in his hand, a huamn thing but she gladly did the same and took his hand.
"I gladly accept the offer. Teach me this knowledge."
She smiled and leaned back and spoke in a sly voice.
"What would you like to know?"
-
"Everything I can." he simple answers "Anything I can use, anything that requires work and power. I want to know. Shape-shifting, Illusions, conbustions. All of it." He starts to sound very execited. "I want to learn, and get stronger. Fire. Got to aqquire more element magick as well." He grins. "Maybe then I might beat you." he says softly, almost a tease
-
"Everything I can. Anything I can use, anything that requires work and power. I want to know. Shape-shifting, Illusions, combustions. All of it I want to learn, and get stronger. Fire. Got to aqquire more element magick as well. Maybe then I might beat you."
Idrial could hear his voice rising as he spoke more, he was getting excited almost like a child at Christmas time counting down the days till they got to open their presents. She smiled as she listened to him, sure she knew he should be at least at Apprenticeship by now with the knowledge that he had and she was willing to help him reach that goal. Only she would start off slow, she had only met the kid and she didn’t want to give out anything that he could use against her and kill her until she was sure that he wasn’t like that at all. She spoke warmly towards him.
"I can teach you those things Jaq, it will be easy for me to obtain that knowledge but you must promise that you will not breath a word of what I am doing ... I could be killed and you would be expelled from the Academy forever. Now as for the Shape Shifting I can probably teach you that but it will be no where\'s near what I can do ... For you see to do the Shape shifting that I can do you have to be born with it … Unless …"
Idrial had to think she couldn’t remember if you could turn others into Shape-Shifters by a bite or if you could blood them like Vampires. She placed a hand on her chin and thought carefully. Staring into the flames of the fire, she dug in her mind trying to figure out. She had been so obsessed of being part Werewolf and being careful what she did although the virus could only be transmittable under the full moon that she had forgotten her Shape-Shifter lessons.
-
Jaq watches her as the finishes with \'unless.\' He had heard of many ways people were able to shape shift. Like Idrial she was born with it. He didn\'t want to change himself is thats what it takes. Shape-shifting could come later for him. "I am willing to take the risk. Let us start by getting to the tower first, then we can decide where to go after that." he nods. He was still injured and not feeling up to sneaking into a dangerous place. "On second thought... I need some rest." he chuckles alittle and shuts his eyes leaning back. "Knowledge... Power..." he smiles in a calm rest. "What do you have to gain from going to the tower?"
-
"I am willing to take the risk. Let us start by getting to the tower first, then we can decide where to go after that."
Idrial lifted her head up no longer staring at the flames. Had she heard him right, did he say he was willing to take the risk. Idrial now did not know whether she should go through with it or not. Once she changed him she could not reverse it, no matter how hard he pleaded. He then spoke again leaning his head back and chuckled away.
"On second thought... I need some rest. Knowledge... Power. What do you have to gain from going to the tower?"
Idrial had to think about that, what she had to gain by going into the tower. She spoke softly as she looked at Jaq with a smile on her face.
"Everything of course it\'s now where I learn all my spells. As for sneaking into the tower you won\'t have to do that and it will be easier for me to take out books without a student their for lets just say I have a lot of lean way their."
She smiled as she leaned her back up against the tree that she was leaning on before. She spoke again but this time their was no smile on her face and her tone became serious.
"What did you mean by you were willing to take the risk ... Did you mean changing yourself to a super natural?"
-
"Life or Death risk was what I meant. I don\'t what to really change by body though. I like the way I am." he gives a friendly smile and sighs. "It\'s not like I have a thing against the supernatural. I mean, what makes them super? They are just different, are they not?" he hums rubbing his chin. "Just very curious to me is all." he then looks deep within thought
-
"Life or Death risk was what I meant. I don\'t what to really change by body though. I like the way I am. It\'s not like I have a thing against the supernatural. I mean, what makes them super? They are just different, are they not? Just very curious to me is all."
Idrial relaxed a little, it was good to hear that he didn\'t want to change himself. Although he may feel like this now what about down the road, she pushed that thought at the back of her mind not allowing herself to even think that right now.
Idrial smiled when he rambled on about wha tmakes people like Idrial special. She smiled at this as he rubbed his chin and hummed at the same time. Idrial leaned forward a little and smiled as she spoke.
"The reason we are called Supernaturals is not because we are Super, it\'s because human\'s believe that we did not come from this world because like you said we are different ... You\'d better trust a human very much before you tell them what you are, sometimes they can react the wrong way, for human usually are scared of what they do not understand and jump to conclusions. Depending on what kind of Supernatural you are there can be perks."
-
Jaq frowns at the truth, humans are afraid of things they don\'t understand. He was one of the more leanest ones. He wouldn\'t be called afraid of the supernatural. Maybe just jealous of what they are instead. He kinda smiles near the end of her words. "So, you trust me then? Enough anyways to tell me about yourself." He nods. "I hold no predigests to anyone different from I, underneath we all are organs and blood right. Looks aren\'t everything." says the guy that wouldn\'t go to class cause the student that sat next to him was \'weird\' lookin. "I know its sudden but... would this make us friends? I am lacking in some at this place." He looks curiosity for a reply
-
Jaq frowned as she spoke bcause he knew that what Idrial was saying was the utter most truth. He then smiled when she finshed her sentance, probably at the last of her words when she said thier were some perks to being a Supernatural, but thier was many that were not so much as a perk. He spoke nodding at her a little.
"So, you trust me then? Enough anyways to tell me about yourself. I hold no predigests to anyone different from I, underneath we all are organs and blood right. Looks aren\'t everything. I know its sudden but... would this make us friends? I am lacking in some at this place."
Idrial smiled at Jaq and nodded her head slightly still leaning her nack against the tree before speaking again to him.
"That is good to hear that you hold no predigests against people like me, their are very few of you out thier you know, and I am lucky to have one of you to call as a friend."
She slowly rose from the tree and gently placed herself beside Jaq on the log, it was a nice thought that she had a human friend and had accepted what she was. She threw some more logs on the fire before turning to him.
"What would you like to know about me?"
-
"What would you like to know about me?"
Jaq hears these words from the assassin. He ponders what to ask. He was already told some what about her past. He wasn\'t sure what to ask, or how to ask the right questions. "Well... hhhmmm." he ponders more than nods. "Do you have a predigests against non-supernatural people?" He looks to his side where Idrial has placed herself. "I\'m not very good with questions in general." he chuckles alittle
-
"Well... hhhmmm.Do you have a predigests against non-supernatural people?I\'m not very good with questions in general."
He looked over to the side where she had placed herslef and she smiled a little and looked up to the sky. Her eyes twinkled in the starlight as she looked up towards the moon. She spoke as she looked at the night sky.
"Predigests, No like your said we are the same on the inside... Although sometimes I am a bit jealous of what they are ... Sometimes I would like to experiance for one day what it would be like to be normal."
She still stared up at the sky, her eyes flickering back and forth.
-
"Is it really that bad to be super?" this made him curious. He has heard of the supernatural, but never heard much about them. Or anything negative about them. Maybe he doesn\'t take his life for granted enough. Listening to Idrial kinda mad him feel bad. That she wanted to be \'normal\' like everyone else. "Isn\'t there something that could be done? as in... make one super or non-super. If there is I would gladly help." He looks away. "A-ands its not because your a girl either. Its the right thing to do... right?" he hid his face, that seemed to have colored abit with his words.
-
"Is it really that bad to be super?"
Idrial looked at him only to look away again and stare into the flames. It was something that she hated as a child. But now it was something she had accpeted. He then spoke again and she looked directly at him.
"Isn\'t there something that could be done? as in... make one super or non-super. If there is I would gladly help. A-ands its not because your a girl either. Its the right thing to do... right?"
He tried to hide his face but she could see that he was redding, that made her smile and laugh a little, she then returned her gaze at the fire. She spoke softly as if she was speaking to the flames and not Jaq himself.
"There is no cure for what I am, it\'s in my blood, my flesh and deep within my bones. There may be a cure in the furture ... But I have learned to accept what I am."
-
"Well, if life gives lemons I guess." he turns his head back to look. He then whispers abit. "But doesn\'t mean you have to drink it..." He offers his two cents to the issues. "I\'m not much for healing and the doctor stuff... But is it alright for me to walk around now? My leg is asleep." He smiles and rubs his leg. It was asleep and sent little odd tickles up and down. He sighs and leans back breathing, calming.
-
"Well, if life gives lemons I guess. But doesn\'t mean you have to drink it..."
He whispered the last part, a human may not have been able to hear it but a woman who was part Werewolf sure could. He then spoke to her in calm voice.
"I\'m not much for healing and the doctor stuff... But is it alright for me to walk around now? My leg is asleep."
Idrial smiled as he rubbed his leg, is was about time that he did get up,she slowly rose from the log up to her full height and cracked her neck. She had been sitting for to long. She then turned around and stretched out her arm for him to hold on when he got up.
"Sure ... It\'s about time you got up anyways ... Get up slowly you\'ve been sitting for a while and I don\'t want you pull anything. It would look pretty silly if I had to carry you back to the Acedamy."
-
He chuckles. "Oh, I don\'t know about silly. But maybe they would think of me as a wussy." He then slowly stands, grunting uneasy with each difficult movement. He ached all over once he started, even more once he was up on his feet. "Ow..." He smacks his fist into the sleeping leg to wake up it. Stomping once twice, maybe three times. He winces as the leg wakes up with a painful shock. "Maybe I should just rest somemore." But as he tried to sit, it hurt worse. "Nevermind. Stand stand stand..."
-
"Oh, I don\'t know about silly. But maybe they would think of me as a wussy."
Idrial smiled, a wussy he was far from that from what she had seen tonight. He slowly stood form his stitting postion and grunted as he took each movement.
"Ow..."
Idrial crossed her arms across her chest rasing an eyebrow as he started to smack his leg with his closed fist. He then started to stomp his foot, she was going to say something but after the third stomp she could see the pain on his face. She smiled and shook her head and he tried to sit back down as he spoke.
"Maybe I should just rest somemore ... Nevermind. Stand stand stand..."
She walked over to him and stood beside him. She grabbed his arm that was not hit by the ice bullet and gently placed it over her neck looking at him side ways and smiled.
"I\'ll help you walk for the first little bit, wouldn\'t want you to fall flat on your face, now right foot first then the left and well repeat ... Here we go."
She moved her right foot first like she said and waited for him to follow, he was light for a human she thought.
-
"I\'ll help you walk for the first little bit, wouldn\'t want you to fall flat on your face, now right foot first then the left and well repeat ... Here we go."
He said a small thanks to the gods in the sky for the help. "Thank you..." he follows the foot steps. Right left, left right. One step after another. After the baby steps got by, the normal ones came. He did well on this, with slight grunting. The pain slowly sided and he wasn\'t hurting /as much/ anymore. He smiles and holds upon your neck on your support. "Thank you..." he repeats very grateful for the kindness which this female provided.
-
"Thank you..."
Idrial nodded, she was stooped over to his level. He started to take baby steps and Idrial followed offering her support. She felt like an old woman stopped over like this and going so slowly. He soon picked up the pace leading into his normal stride, grunting slightly with each everey second or third step. She looked sideways to see him smile at her in which she smiled back. He held onto her neck as he spoke again.
"Thank you..."
Idrial smiled an in one swift moment she gopt out from under his arm and let him walk on his own for a little bit. She pkaced her arms in the small of her back and leaned backwards cracking her back and smiled with satisfaction. She walked up beside him smiling.
"There ... Your walking really good now. See if you can walk to that far tree and back and back, If I see that you will fall I will catch you Then ... I teach you one or two things before we have to go back to the Academy."
With a quick smiled she started to walk slowly careful not to get to far ahead.
-
Stands straight up and takes a deep breath. "I got it now." he walks further, one step after another. He walks fine, with a few limps but he could walk almost fine now. "What are you trying to teach me?" he walks to the tree, places his hands on the trunk and then back. He may not have a have super healing abilities but what magic he has speeds up regeneration within his body. Sadly it doesn\'t fix the outside part. "Is it just me or does that tree seem to be moving further away?" he was just complaining
-
"I got it now."
Jaq walked straight and tall towards the tree, thier were a few limps here and there but nothing serious. She watched him as he reached the tree and firmly placed his hands on the tree.
"What are you trying to teach me? Is it just me or does that tree seem to be moving further away?"
Idrial slowly started to walk towards Jaq and raised her fingers in a snapping like postion. She smiled and spoke at the same time.
"Or maybe the tree isn\'t thier at all..."
With a quick snap of her fingers the tree that he was leaning one was gone. She increased her stride over to Jaq smiling away.
"Illusion is a great tool when you are stuck in nasty situations. The simpliest Illusion vanish when touched and almost have a transparent quality. The most difficult seem like the real thing, they will either be given a time limit or the caster can decide when the illusion no longer has affect like I just did by snapping my fingers."
She help out her hand palm upwards and concentrated
"Nina Lockmost Enita Rosario Horse"
Before long a small horse appeared in her hand, it then laid down in her hand and she smiled.
"Your Turn think of anything but nothing to big just summon it in the palm of your hand like I did, At the end of the Rosario say what animal you want to appear in your palm ... Go."
-
He was impressed, the tree he felt and thought would support him was just an illusion. He must have been tired to not sense the magic on it. He was more amazed at the tiny horse that can fit in a palm. Being instucted he holds up his palms, face up. He begins to think of what to make in his hands. An illusion, he has tired this before in his years but with no avail. He never gave it another thought though.
"Nina Lockmost Enita Rosario.... dog."
Within his hands was that of a tiny tiny dog. This furry, black coat, doggy grin, waggling tail, little shitzu dog. "General?" It was his dog he had back home. It was an adorable creature. He smiles at it warmly, getting a feeling of home sickness.
-
"Nina Lockmost Enita Rosario.... dog."
"General?"
A small dog appeared in his hands, Jaq looked at it intently as he smiled warmly at it, must have been a pet from back home. It was a strange choice for a first time illusion but a wise one. Most people tired to summon something mythical like a dragon or something along those lines, but the more complex the creature the harder it was to summon the illusion.
Idrial then held out her palm with horse on it, it slowly backed up it her hand and raced at the edge of her finger tips jumping off, she smiled and spoke as the horse was still in mid air.
"Eresteium Mascera Fairum!"
The horse began to grow in size rapidly and when it\'s front legs touched the ground it was now in full size. It gently cantered around them once in a circle and she spoke again.
"Youista expandio Shyistia Three."
As is cantered around them three more horses appear by the original illusions side, they were all in one piece and the original come to her hand. It was solid while the other two grazed and one rubbed against a tree.
"The first spell is for expansion of the animal for it to grow in size like the real thing and to make it look like the real thing, the second incantation is to multipy the illusion from the original. Most people have trouble with the multiplying part for sometimes when they multiply features are missing such as a ear or even a leg. But with practice it can be an excat copy go ahead and try."
She lifted herself up on the horse, it was solid underneath her and she gave a light kick and it slowly made it\'s way over to Jaq. She watched intently while patting the horses neck.
-
"Power of the mind huh." He looks at all three horses. "Oh, I think I got this. Ready General? Who\'s a good boy, Who\'s a good boy." He had a childish tone when talking to his illusionary pet. And the pet would wag its tail and get very excited to be told. He smiles and chants out the words
"Eresteium Mascera Fairum!"
The Small dog grew and grew into a 1 foot small doggy. He was surprise how feel it felt in his arms. He rubs the furry ears and head. General still holding the happy dog smile. He even cuddles the dog as if it was real. "I missed you, you carpet." He chuckles
"Youista expandio Shyistia.... Three."
The dog in his arms turned into 3, Prefectly. He held all three within his arms. "Oh my..." They wiggle free and start chasing after each other. Playing happily amongst the forest. "Its.... not real."
-
"Power of the mind huh. Oh, I think I got this. Ready General? Who\'s a good boy, Who\'s a good boy."
The pet wagged it\'s tail which was to be expected after all, in an illusion you could make it do whatever you wanted. Whether it be through memeories or what you have seen other people do.
"Eresteium Mascera Fairum!"
She looked as the dog grew in size, he held the dog tightly smiling at it like it was an old friend and no longer just a pet.
"I missed you, you carpet."
"Youista expandio Shyistia.... Three."
Three dogs appeared in his arms only to escape and play in among the forest
"Oh my... Its.... not real."
Idrial snapped her fingers and her horse that she sat upon along with the other three were gone, she landed sliently on the ground and stood along side Jaq.
"The last part would be like I just did making the illusion dispear, some people snap thier fingers others use a sort of whistle etc etc, I\'ve seen once were they use a flute or some sort of instrument, ... Now you can also just make the copies vanish if you wanted to and the original would stay until you used it\'s name in this case you called it General. Give it a try."
-
Jaq nods and follows Idrial example. He looks at the three playful dogs as they wrestle. "General, come here boy." His hands and fingers raise and snap. They was only one left. The little dog rushes over and jumps into Jaq\'s shin causing him to fall over. He didn\'t have to, it wasn\'t something that strong. He just did it like he would do with his real dog back home. He himself now wrestles with this illusion of his furry dog back home. "Could you make an Illusion last forever?" he ask curiously
-
"General, come here boy."
The black dog raced over top Jaq toppling him over, he wrestled with the dog for a while. Idrial smiled as he wrestled with the tint creature, this must have been a family pet.
"Could you make an Illusion last forever?"
Idrial looked towards him and smiled.
"No but you can make it last until you snap your fingers or until you die."
She looked towards the Academy and sniffed the air lightly, the kitchens were starting thier meals for the Academy and from what she smelled it would be a good supper tonight.
"Supper is a brewing in the Kitchen\'s, best we hurry back."
-
Jaq looks at the sun in the sky. "Its that late already, oh well I am dying of hungry anyways." He snaps his fingers and the little dog disappears. "Though I think you should lead... I have no idea where I am, to tell truth." He takes a deep breath and looks to Idrial. "It may be odd that I am eatting with you. But then I don\'t care what others think of course. I have no problems with our houses. Though, it may matter to you... maybe." He ends up pondering he would like in his supper. "So many choices."
-
“Its that late already, oh well I am dying of hungry anyways."
Idrial smiled, so was she and was looking forward to dinner. He snapped his fingers making the dog disappear; he then took a deep breath and looked at her in a strange sort of way.
"Though I think you should lead... I have no idea where I am, to tell truth. It may be odd that I am eating with you. But then I don\'t care what others think of course. I have no problems with our houses. Though, it may matter to you... maybe."
Idrial smiled and waved her hand at this, not she did not mind at all it would be nice to sit and eat with someone for a change. She looked up to the sky again and sniffed the air before answering him.
"Not at all, it would be nice to sit and eat while actually having a conversation for a change, it gets pretty boring sitting at a table observing people after a while. The way back is this way."
She started to walk slowly so that he could catch up, she then heard him speak again which made her turn her head over her shoulder.
"So many choices."
Idrial then turned her head back forwards and once again sniffed the air sampling the air and what was brewing in the kitchen and spoke out loud as she identified each smell.
“Smells like … Roast Beef … Potatoes … Carrots … Onions … Fresh bread … Beef Soup and Steak. How’s that for being precise. Remember those perks I was talking about this is just one of them, sometimes If I don’t like what there making I simply don’t go, besides the cooks usually take offence once you walk in there and then make a face and slip out.”
Then she turned around walking backwards a little bit.
“Oh by the way you next lesson will be let’s say after dark when everyone has gone to sleep on the 26th in the Area’s Battling grounds … I will come and get you in your dorm room How’s that sound?”
-
“Oh by the way you next lesson will be let’s say after dark when everyone has gone to sleep on the 26th in the Area’s Battling grounds … I will come and get you in your dorm room How’s that sound?”
He didn\'t have a problem with that. "Sure I can do that. I\'m a light sleeper anyways. WAit you know what room I sleep in?" He was curious about this. Maybe its something she would know, or maybe it was a task for her to do. Whatever it was, it was somewhat. Interesting. "Just don\'t get catch." he smiles at her, with great confidences
-
"Sure I can do that. I\'m a light sleeper anyways. Wait you know what room I sleep in?"
Idrial smiled as she and Jaq walked side by side, taking many twists and turns through the forest that she had lead him into earlier. It was easy for someone to get lost in here and never be found until it was to late, but Idrial knew these forests like the back of her hand.
"I don\'t need to know what room you sleep in, I have your sent and that is all I need. I alway like to say the nose knows."
She smiled at that it was corny but in a way it was true to her, once she had someones scent it was impossible to escape her, the only way they could escape her was through death.
"Just don\'t get catch."
She looked at himmaking another turn in the woods, the smell was getting stronger and she was getting hungier.
"Don\'t worry I won\'t, I am a High Aprentice in Confuto and I am one of those rare few that almost never gets caught by others, Besides if I have to I\'ll shape shift into something small like a fly or bug. Here we are back at the Acedemy, After you."
She so badly wanted to eat hoping that all the steaks were not gone already.
-
He smiles. "Interesting skill... But kinda scary." he rubs his own, Not as good as a wolf nose. But the sound of dinner was something he couldn\'t pass off. Like a kid at christmas he ends up racing to dining hall. Food was already server to the students. Jaq found a spot that has two spots opens. He strolls over and takes up a seat. A place and food was presented. Drink and beard was in pitcher and basket. He helped himself. "The food is delicious."
-
Idrial smiled, a human\'s nose wouldn\'t be as good as hers but at times yes it was kinda scary especially when you cathc a whiff of something that you do not understand or know what creature would have that kind of smell and not being able to identify it.
Jaq started to walk faster up to the dining hall, and she increased her pace as well, hoping that the steaks wouldn\'t be all gone. He was already around the corner when she appeared in th door way and had taken a seat with two open spots. Food and drink was imeddiatly served to him, she then walked briskly and took a seat as well. He helped himself and so did Idrial.
"The food is delicious."
Idrial smiled as she took a peice of bread from the basket and chewed off a peice of it, in the mean time her food was presented with a glass of red wine. She swallowed before speaking.
"Yes it is, better than some nights, So then your next lesson will be on the twenty six in the battle areans after dark, form there I will take you to a isolated place were we will not be disturbed... As for what I will be teaching you, I\'ll keep that as a surprise."
She smiled while taking a sip of her wine, this was going to be fun and gently set the glass down.
"Any questions?"
She then popped a peice of steak in her mouth enjoying the flavour of it.
-
"Yes, I do have a question. Are you going to finish that." he points to the steak upon Idrial\'s plate. He was only kidding. "I can\'t wait for training though." He takes more of his stew and beard. He was fine with the pitch of water. Never taking much to wine. "I like the part of not being interrupted, you don\'t know how many times. I try to think of something to do. Only to have someone outside or nearby shout loudly. Disturbing the peace is what that person did." he sighs not sure why to talk about something with little importance. He just continued with his dinner. Enjoying what taste he got.
-
Idrial gave a bit of a laugh as she shoved another piece in her mouth. He took some more of his stew that he was eating; she was never too fond of stew. There were always more vegetables than meat she thought. She took another sip of her wine before speaking to him.
"Sure you can have some ... That is unless you want to lose you hand in process."
Idrial smiled, taking a piece of bread and dipping in it the steak juices on her plate. It was nice to talk to someone from another house that had an interest in magic\'s. She then put the last piece of steak in her mouth and took another piece of bread dipping in the steaks juices. She listened to Jaq speak then he pointed to someone at another table, she frowned for she knew the guy all to well. She spoke in a lower voice
"I know that guy all to well; he is a High Apprentice though I don\'t think he even deserves the title. Always disturbing those that are in deep study in the art of magick. What you would expect from a Cruori that has too much pride and thinks he is better than anyone else."
She paused as she bit off the piece of bread and swirled it onto her plate. She smiled and laughed to herself then looked at Jaq.
"Though he only tried it once with me. I was practicing some magick that had to do with silence. I had almost completed it then I heard a loud noise and lost my concentration. He thought it was extremely funny. I threw my one dagger at him missing him by inches. He brought out his sword and I called back my dagger, he fought with a sword I fought with my daggers. Let’s just say I took a large chunk of his pride and he spent a month in the infirmary. He never bothered me again; if he bothers you ask him if he wants another lesson from Idrial. That will put him in his place."
She chuckled again and looked towards the man\'s way, there eyes met and he immediately looked away. She smiled and turned her head stuffing the piece of bread in her mouth.

This made him smile and look into Idrial\'s eyes, and then he quickly looked away. Not because he wanted to get that piece of steak he just took down as fast as he could. But every time he would look into her eyes. He could feel something inside of him. "I\'ll remind him of that." He looks towards her direction. "So, was he skilled or all talk?" he was curious to know.
-
She had seen Jaq smile, his smile she could not explain gave her a sort of warm feeling inside one that she had not experianced for a long time. He then looked into her eyes, she noticed that his eyes were not just a boring brown color but they had what looked like to a tint of green to them. He then tore his eyes away from hers and looked down wards then quickly looked upwards again but not looking into her eyes like her just had. Like he was almost trying to avoid them, as to why she could not say.
"So, was he skilled or all talk?"
Idrial laughed a little and shook her head, she looked at Jaq and into his eyes as she spoke. Maybe he was trying to hide something from her, if he was her looking into his eyes as she spoke would reveal alot of what he was thinking.
"He had very little skill in what weapon he was weilding, as for hand to hand combat he was good ... for a level four. I have no clue how he got the title High Apprentice. So yes you could say he was all talk ... You could probably even show him a lesson with more training. "
Idrial then sipped the last of her wine, and gently placed the glass down. Moments later a Raven landed on the table. She stroked the birds head, and took the not from the Ravens leg before it dispeared like the illusion it was.
She carefully read the note, frowning and smiling in some parts. She then conjured her own flying illusion a miniture Pheonix and wrote on the back of the paper and tied it to it\'s leg and if flew off, it was not an urgent matter and it could wait. She then whispered under her breath.
"Idiots..."
She left it at that for she would deal with the matter after she was done talking with Jaq.
-
Jaq smiles towards Idrial as she says something about how he could teach the loud mouth a lesson. He had a feeling she knew he tried to avoid her eyes. He wonders if it makes him look weird. Suddenly a raven landed on her shoulder baring a note. It must have been something to make Idrial frown. It disappeared for it was a illusion. Amazed Jaq was. She then replied and conjured another bird, a phoenix. It flied away with the message.
"Idiots..."
Curious.
"What was that?" He looks to Idrial for an answer if she was willing to give one. He didn\'t mind if she did or not. Curiosity gets him alot of the time
-
"What was that?"
Idrial\'s frown faded as he spoke to her, she sighed. She did not what this to end but like all things they always came to an end. She smiled once more at him before speaking in a sad tone.
"I wish this did not have to end so soon Jaq but it seems there is some sort of matter to which they need me, I hope that I see you again very soon."
She politely got up form her chair and walked across the dining hall. Before she exited the doors she then looked back at Jaq and smiled before dissipearing.
-
Jaq ponders as Idrial left and smiled at him. Curious at what it was, but now to ask about it was gone. He finished his meal, took a few breads to his room and sat there thinking. He would munch and munch staring at the ceiling. "Maybe its nothing... her business not mine..." he whispered to himself. He couldn\'t sleep so he decided to write, something he does in case of a brain washing student takes away his memories. He has them all in this book. He wrote about his plan to use the vile of Larke, how Idrial snuck up on him, the talk, the fight, General. All into this red journal. He made a few doodles one of the vile, Idrial and General. Now he simple waits for the time to come.
