Lindyss yawned and turned her head to the side. She noticed a large scowl on Tafels face; the demon was using her portals to view everything from a birds-eye view. Whats the matter? Lindyss asked. You wanted a residence; Vurs getting you a residence.
Hes better at using phoenix skills than I am, Tafel said. And that frustrates a little.
Whats your point? Hes better at non-phoenix skills as well, Lindyss said, ignoring the faint shouts and screams in the distance. Its not like you were imprinted as a baby like Vur was, so you shouldnt feel bad for having an immature control of your abilities.
Yeah, but look at him, Tafel said, taking a step back and gesturing for Lindyss to co look through the portal. I havent seen Minerva fight much, but I think Vurs even better than her at moving through fire.
Lindyss leaned to the side and peeked through the portal. She raised an eyebrow. Well, thats pretty impressive, she said. Ive never seen him do that before.
Exactly, Tafel said. Neither have I.
Excuse , Gaegukja Yeol said, floating over Tafel and Lindyss to look through the portal. May I watch as well?
Tafel glanced up at the flaming woman, but Gaegukja Yeols eyes were already glued onto the happenings beyond the portal. Tafel couldnt bla her; it wasnt every day soone saw a disembodied dragon disappearing and reappearing through a sea of fire. Claws appeared behind elves, snatching them up and reappearing elsewhere. A dragon head appeared and breathed a breath of icicles at a regint of elves holding tower shields in front of themselves. The shields were enough to block the ice, but the elves didnt bring anything to stop the dragon tail from slamming into them from behind without warning.
How is he doing that? Gaegukja Yeol asked. Can all dragons do that?
Its a phoenix skill, Tafel said. Dragons dont move through flas like this.
Is Vur not a dragon? Gaegukja Yeol asked. How is he using a phoenixs skill?
Have you ever heard of a blue mage? Tafel asked, raising an eyebrow.
Gaegukja Yeol blinked, her red eyes dimming and glowing. Blue mages, she said and turned towards her brother, who had drifted over to look through the portal as well. Why does that sound so familiar?
Blue mage is the official na of copycat mage, Deowi said.
Vur is a copycat mage? Gaegukja Yeol asked, her eyes widening as she glanced down to look at Tafel. And hes a dragon? Thats amazing! She paused. Right? Are all dragons blue mages or just Vur?
Just Vur, Tafel said.
How many skills has Vur copied? Gaegukja Yeol asked. I know most blue mages have a limit of four, but Ive heard talented ones can rember up to eight.
Tafel furrowed her brow. Im actually not sure, she said. Youll have to ask him, but you might not receive the answer you want to hear.
Gaegukja Yeols eyes flickered as she recalled her previous experiences conversing with Vur. I understand exactly what you an.
Excuse , a high-pitched voice said. Yeol? Am I allowed to call her that? Gaegukja Yeol, hello, yes!
Gaegukja Yeol blinked at the head-sized, red rock waving at her on the ground with its sticklike arm. Are you another one of Vurs elentals? You can call Yeol if you want but not in public.
Oh, I see, Sheryl said. Anyway, Im Sheryl, and Vur told to bring you to him, so if youd co with .
Gaegukja Yeol raised an eyebrow. He wants to see ? A faint smile appeared on her face. What for?
Just her? Tafel asked before Sheryl could respond.
Sheryl nodded. He said he had to show her sothing, but there shouldnt be a problem if the rest of you co as well.
Alright, Tafel said and nodded. Were going too. She glanced at the portal and frowned. Vur was still bullying the elves; what did he want to show Gaegukja Yeol?
Sheryl led the way, disappearing and reappearing along the trail. The air between the earth and sky was still set ablaze, and the creatures in the region were still panicking despite the fact they hadnt been burned even after so much ti had passed. Tafel stared as Sheryl disappeared into the flas and reappeared a few ters ahead. Great, the demon muttered. Even a fire elental learned a phoenixs skill faster than .
Sheryl cleared her throat. Its all luck, she said, staring at the ground with her ruby eyes. If I hadnt ford a contract with Vur, Id still be a tiny spirit living in a volcano, and in the first place, its easier for to morph into flas than you.
Im just complaining to myself, Tafel said. You dont have to mind . She looked around. How far is Vur? Should I speed us up?
No, thats quite alright, Sheryl said. Were almost there, just past that archway and into that pit.
Im assuming this pit wasnt here earlier, Lindyss said, taking a look at the uprooted trees and dirt surrounding the group.
How clever, Erin said. What helped you figure it out?
Lindyss rolled her eyes up to look at the fairy queen sitting on her head. You really want to stop making extra drinks, huh?
No, sorry, forget I said anything, Erin said, the words nearly blurring as they tumbled out of her mouth. Vurs flas even burn underground, huh?
Yeah, Lindyss said. Its a bit surreal walking through a tunnel of fire. Noisy too. She looked behind herself at Kax, who was following the group at the sa distance he always had. When Lindyss confird the red-haired man wasnt affected by the fire, she made a small exhalation and raised an eyebrow before turning back around.
Whats up? Erin asked. You thought of sothing just now.
Im thinking about turning Kax into a mummy. His flesh is
You know what? Erin interrupted. Forget I asked.
Lindyss snorted. Jerk.
