Shadowfall

[Battal]

"Really?  How about a little test?"

Jakob takes a couple of steps back, then spreads his arms.

"Hit me with your best parlour trick."

[Ellebelly24]

*Sundrop shakes her head*

"You aren't worth it boy."

[Battal]

"Why?" Jakob asks, his eyes flickering with a small firelight.  "Are you afraid?"

He lets out a laugh.

"Pathetic!  Absolutely pathetic.  A dead, powerless mortal - and you're afraid."

Jakob sneers at Sundrop.

"Really, I'm amazed Snowfall didn't off you already."

[Ellebelly24]

"Thanks Jakob, I really appreciate it..."

*She falls over continuing to cough blood and vomit*

[Battal]

Jakob ignores Snowfall and insteads focuses on Sundrop.  He has a plan.

[Blewcheese]

Pops narrows his eyes. What could Jakob be playing at?

[Ellebelly24]

"Yeah right. I doubt my sister would even be strong and courageous enough to lift a finger to me!"

[Battal]

Jakob shakes his head.  "Stop stalling.  Hit me, damnit!  Show your strength!"

[Ellebelly24]

*Sundrop stares at him blankly, then summons a flaming sword and throws it at Jakob*

[Battal]

Jakob quickly sidesteps, catching the fiery blade in between his hands.  The sword begins to unwravel into a mass of fire, and in seconds he is levitating three fireballs around himself.

 

"As I said, Sundrop.  Parlour tricks."  He says, hurling all three fireballs at Sundrop.  Upon contact, they explode like napalm, flinging her backwards like a rag doll.

[Ellebelly24]

*Sundrop lands on her back with a crack, but gets up*

"I see what you're doing, using my magic as your power source."

*She smiles, blood dripping out of her mouth*

"I wanna see your own tricks without my magic."

[Battal]

Jakob shrugs.  "Suit yourself."

However, he is far less confident than he was previously.  He was hoping that his fireballs would hurl Sundrop off the side of the craggy mountain they were on, but that idea had failed, and controlling just that small bit of fire had drained a huge chunk of his energy.  He doubted he could do it again, but he had to stop Sundrop.  He didn't give a damn about Starling's talks of 'Do not interfere'. 

[Ellebelly24]

(She meant the mentors shouldn't interfere,)

"AWWWWW, is wittwe Jakob scared?"

*She laughs a blood curling laugh*

"What are you waiting for Jakob? Hit me."

[Battal]

Jakob barely has enough energy to speak.  "Fine.  Let's tango."

He charges Sundrop, daggers at the ready.

[Ellebelly24]

*Sundrop grabs Jakob's wrist and throws him at the opposite end*

"Oh, come one! Where's your magic?"

[Battal]

Jakob tumbles a couple of feet, then stops.  He groans, getting to his feet.  Panting, he asks, "Where's yours?"

He charges again.

[Blewcheese]

Pops watches the two squabble. He frowns , opens his mouth to speak, but thinks better of it.

[Battal]

(It's not a squabble, more like a fight to the death.)

[Blewcheese]

(Pops sees it as a squabble. Mostly because he feels like the fight is pointless and dumb, and not what they should be doing. And because he's older than them, he gets to act like it.)

[Battal]

(Hey, Sundrop is a villian.  Killing villians = good.)

[Blewcheese]

(An enemy of my enemy is my friend. And I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the Sundrop doesn't want Shadowfall to succeed in destroying everything, including herself.)

[Battal]

(DON'T USE OTHER PEOPLES CHARS ITS AGAINST THE RULEZ.)

(But seriously, she's still trying to kill Snowfall.  Which technically makes her an enemy.)

[Ellebelly24]

(Sorry, I just got sick, and fell over in the shower.)

"I won't use mine. You use it as a power source."

[Battal]

"Not exactly!"  Jakob says while lunging at Sundrop's throat with his daggers.  "I can't create fire by my own, so I used yours.  And you fell for it."

[Ellebelly24]

*She grabs one if his wrists and throws him again*
