"Hmm, not so much offend as bring up some nasty memories. You know, that sort of thing only makes my attacks more relentless." Silver bent backwards a bit, noting that the sword made noise as it was being swung through the air. That sort of thing means that it's not quite as easy to block as a normal swipe, and she knew that noise well. Once she knew she cleared it, she stood back up, immediately attempting to stab him with her left arm, again holding her right sword in a defensive position.
A fierce wind blew over the wall, making a new cut along it. He relaxed his arm and let out a few breathes. "Whew..I shouldn't put magic into my swings. That's a bit unfair, no? Well either way, I can tell this will be fun! I haven't found another swordsman in ages. Even better that you're a girl. I don't see too many of those." He paced around Silver, keeping his sword pointed at her. "Though, I am curious how you befriended Volitaire. He was never good at making friends, and you're a fierce little viper. You could chew him up! I wonder how he did it..." Volitaire rolled his eyes listening in on Artizle's conversation.
Silver snickered. "Oh, I think it's perfectly fair, actually." She stood back a bit, keeping her eye on him, yet remaining relaxed. "As for how I met Voltaire, well, we go back farther than you would imagine. Though I recently met him through a friend of ours. He sort of grew on me, I guess." She glanced to Voltaire and noticed his annoyance with Artizle. She couldn't help but giggle a little.
He sprinted, keeping his sword at his his side. As he ran he got faster. "Shouldn't have glanced at Voli-boy!" When he was halfway to her he stopped and slid, slicing and a dust trail followed his sword around his feet and a white line traced from the tip of his swing from light reflecting off his sword.
Silver looked back to Artizle, who was sliding towards her now, about to hit her. She had no time to dodge or avoid his attack at all, so she took it. He hit her right in her side, slicing into her a few inches. Her eyes grew wide, as you could see the pain in her face. There was quite a bit of blood as she fell to her knees, and fell back. Was she even still alive?
Artizle spun his blade to flick the blood off of it. "My mistake...I seem to have gotten too excited. Volitaire, your blood magic can help here. Even though you have small knowledge on it. I'll be back with bandages." Artizle turned around to the door and began walking out to get bandages. Meanwhile, Volitaire stood there. "I know Silver all too well t go down that easily..."
Silver landed in front of Artizle, her arms crossed, and grinned. She began swinging her swords at him, slashing at him horizontally over and over again. She kept getting closer to him, and called out to Voltaire. "Geez, did you really have to give me away like that? I was having fun.." She jumped over him quickly and spun down a bit, swinging her swords at his calves.
He parried her attacks while raising a eyebrow. Her wound was gone, and she was swing with great ferocity. "Give you away? I wasn't even paying attention to the little tyke over there." He followed her jump and copied his sword, striking against her two swords aimed for his calves. "You must be some kind of illusionist. That wounded apparition is gone, and you're as if nothing happened. If that's the case you'll be a tricky little one." He stomped his foot and blue lights spiraled around him and took the shape of swords. They aimed and launched at her.
"Ah, you learn quickly!" Silver hopped out of the way of the swords that were aimed for her and giggled. "I wasn't expecting a light show during our fight, though." She paused and took a breath. He certainly was a skilled fighter, and she was glad she was practicing with him. Then she remembered how she left JD and Enki both behind a while ago. "Oi, wait, what time is it?"
"Should be a bit past noon now. Hard to tell when you're indoors and lack a clock. You guys did come in around noon anyhow. I assume you have something to get back to?" He payed attention more to the uniform and wondered if she was from a school. "If that's the case, I suppose we can finish this another time. Glad to have sparred with you! It's about time Voli got some friends. Some interesting ones as that." He sheathed his sword and started making his way out the training room. Volitaire followed with a yawn.
Silver followed them out and decided she should leave and go find the others again. "Just make sure he rests, and doesn't leave here until he's better." She glared at Voltaire. "He knows what will happen if he does. And thanks for the spar, it was quite enjoyable," she said with a smile. She waved and before they could say anything else she climbed back up to ground level. "Now, time for some one on one time with you two." She never found it strange that she spoke to her swords, but apparently some people did, so she tried to only talk to them when no one else was around. She sat down by the waterfall that wasn't too far away from her, and began rubbing her swords again with the cloth.
"Oh don't you worry. The little tyke isn't going anywhere." Volitaire narrowed his eyes at Artizle, who then gave a reassuring grin. They made their way to the mess hall where Montesque was still surveying what was stored. "All this time and you still hadn't managed to get something to eat?" "I'm too used to my food being sent to me." "How spoiled.." Artizle and Montesque laughed at Volitaire's side comment. He went to go look for some orange juice in the freezers. "So what is that wound on his chest?" Artizle started. "Volitaire didn't explain really. Just said it was a battle scar. I would like to know as well." Artizle turned to check on Volitaire, making sure he didn't slip out the door, but Volitaire remained loyal and went to go find something to drink.
Enzo snored, he had laid on one of the rocks next to the river, and had fallen asleep quite fast. Last night had taken a toll out of him, and it was obvious.
Silver was there minding her own business when she heard.. Snoring? She got up and wandered over to the place she thought she heard it, and ended up finding Enzo, sleeping on a rock. She smirked. What is he doing here? Poor guy must be exhausted..
She slowly stepped over to him, staring at him for a moment and tapping his shoulder lightly. "Enzo, time to get up sleepyhead," she said in her most innocent and calm voice.
None other than Sasha laid near him, her hair a bit wild looking from the events of the night before. The girl's eyes were closed, and she slept peacefully, not looking even slightly like she'd punch you if you woke her up. Which she would.
Enzo winced his eyes a little, and turned over to the side. "..Five more minutes, mom.." He muttered under his own sleeve.
Silver noticed Sasha laying not too far away. Her too? Geez, what were they up to?? She shooed away the suggestive thoughts that went through her mind.
When Enzo rolled over and spoke, she smirked. "I'm not your mom, and you don't get 5 more minutes," she said in the same tone of voice. "Now get up." Her voice became a bit harsher as she pushed him off the rock and into the water. She looked over to Sasha again and spoke out to her. "Sasha, you too. You guys can't just fall asleep out here like this, what if something happened?" Silver huffed. She felt like their mother scolding them like that, but they really ought to be more careful about that sort of thing.
Enzo shouted in surprise as soon as he felt the water. He flopped around in it, his eyes still closed. "What?! What?!" He opened his eyes and saw it was just a dream. Yet the dream itself was still fresh in his memory.
Spoiler
If there was one thing you would need to know about Sasha, it was that she was not a morning person at all. The Russian female's eyes flickered open, and the first thing out of her mouth was a rather rude remark, "Shaddup, I can take care of myself, Jaq," A lazy hand reached up to bat at what Sasha thought was Jaq. The girl was still half asleep.
Silver laughed at Enzo and looked back to Sasha. "Jaq? Who's Jaq? Sasha, are you still asleep?" She started poking Sasha, trying to wake her up. "Come on, this is no time to sleep!"
At the sound of her older brother's name being repeated to her, Sasha shot up, straight awake. Her eyes were wide open in momentary panic, but the girl looked over towards Silver, coughing a little bit to cover up the sudden emotion sued felt, "Uh. Nothing. He's just a...a guy."
The fire had been put out and Ling had left Enzo to his own doings. Ling had to at least report to Aleister about the situation. "We don't know what caused the fire Master. But with the smoke rising so deep in the forest. The town next to Whiterun will surely have it reported." Aleister just simply nodded. "Then we do not have much time. We must fast track our training if we need Enzo to master the Minus Fire and help us in our cause. Have you talked to the young lady that Enzo seem to fancy?" Ling ran his hand pass his hair. "Getting Ms. Russian Tiger to talk is going to be rather difficult. But you are right, there is something going on between the two." Ling would then tossed a gem which had a recording of Enzo's and Sasha's brawl. "Well this certainly would mean that we have a sort of incentive if Enzo does end up betraying us." Joanne came into the office as well as she held up a file in her hand. "We tracked down the location of the rebels. They seem to have a camp not too far from the other side of the forest." "Then training will be picked up tomorrow. Hopefully Enzo will learn how to use the Minus Fire in time."
Sasha seemed panicked when Silver mentioned whoever she was talking to a moment ago. She frowned, deciding to not push the topic. "Why were you two sleeping here?" She glanced at Enzo who was still in shock of being pushed into the cold water. "Was it that hard to make it back to your rooms?.. Or perhaps you were up to something?" Silver sat down next to Sasha, and leaned her head on her hand, smiling.
To be honest, Sasha herself couldn't remember. She searched her mind for any remnants of what had happened last night, managing to recall that they'd made their way here after the fire. At Silver's suggestive comment, Sasha immediately flushed red, "N-no way in hell would I be 'Up to something' with that i-idiot!" She yelled, her face betraying her tone of voice.
Silver giggled a bit at Sasha's reaction. "Relax, relax, I'm just teasing."
She looked back towards the direction of the school. "You guys helped with the fire, right? Was anyone hurt?"
Enzo sighed, and brought himself back to reality. He looked around at Silver and Sasha, they had seemed to be talking about something. Something Enzo couldn't remember. He only heard the last words Silver said. "Yeah.. We stopped it. From what I remember, nobody was injured." He realized he was sitting in the river, and stood up. His clothes clung to his body and he whined about it. "Ugh.. why am I in water?" He asked himself.
Silver smiled innocently at his question. "Sorry, I accidentally tripped and fell on you and ended up pushing you in." She was apologizing, sure, but her face said she was lying. "Where's everyone else? Maybe we should head back to the school."
Finishing up at the library, she decided to check out a few books and look for her friends. She hadn't seen many familiar faces today, which was strange - plus she had heard a few students talking about an accident that occurred out in the forest. And judging by the way trouble seemed to find them, she just wanted to make sure everyone was okay.
Walking down the halls with her new books in hand, all ranging from different white magic topics she tried keeping to herself. Walking around alone made her nervous.
A figure stands before the school entrance, bags in hand and headphones around his neck...with a very curious yet pissed off look on his face. Dressed in Blue jeans, black shirt w/ vest. Grey sneakers and a black/electric blue fitted
"Sorcerers...what the actual fuck?" He said looking at the facade of the school.
"Doesn't look like there's anyone around...great, let's see where I gotta go."
Jacen takes the paper from his vest pocket after setting his bags down.
"Jacen Eirsith, you are to report to the Visitor check-in upon your arrival at Sorcerers. You will receive a dorm room, a key card, and your student information packet. We are here to help you control your abilities.
Jacen sighs before folding the letter back up, and walking towards the entrance.
"I saved their fucking lives...and get sent here. Just great...thanks a lot mom and dad. Thanks a lot."
Just teasing?!
To have fallen for such a joust, Sasha felt embarrassed beyond belief. Her face flushed red, and she turned away, giving only a nod to Silver.
"I guess we could go back, yeah."
