Fight of the Upcoming

[Ashen Rain]

Ashen watched on as KC transformed into a dragon- something she wasn't quite expecting, even though she was holding on to a rafter imp that looked similar to one of her Council members. Was this just another mimic trick, pulled by a third party rafter imp? After KC finished swallowing her mimic, Ashen found her answer. The black clad huntress figured that they didn't need the second imp for questioning after that bit either. She tugged harshly on the chain wrapped about the Seph imp's neck- which caused it to squeal and wriggle to get free. Thankfully that wouldn't be happening any time soon.

As the imp's life expired, it's true form began to over ride that of the one it had taken previously. Ashen stepped back in disgust at the sight of the wrinkled creature, only to gasp in pain. The deep bite in her calf was making it quite annoying to move about.

Still crouched, Ashen closed her eyes and concentrated a moment. The red bands all over her body began to glow, and moments later her one roguish look was replaced with that of some type of red robed sorceress. In place of her chain blades was now a golden staff, held upright by her left hand. The ruby sphere atop the staff glimmered softly in the light that the large orb creature was emitting.

Leaning on her staff, Ashen searched her mind for the words of her healing spell- and when found, she repeated them under her breath. Minutes passed and nothing happened- till the orb on her staff began to glow. Ashen winced as she felt the open skin of her leg pull together and mend itself. There was sure to be a scar when this was over.

Once the spell was cast, Ashen shook her head. Her body felt a tad drained, but thankfully the caverns were warm...

Wait, the huntress thought, her head snapping up only to have her gaze fall on the now dragon turned KC. The caverns weren't warm when we first got here. Ashen stared on at KC, who seemed to be... Struggling with something, though the huntress could not tell what it was. The light from the large orb flickered again, causing Ashen to glance over at it- only to find that KC was about to be hit with three balls of fire.

Ashen grimaced as she grabbed for the spell book hanging at her side. She flipped it open as quickly as she could, scanning the pages for the spell she needed most. She barely had the time to show her relief when she finally found it. Casting spells in a row this quickly was probably going to give her a headache later.

"KC, move!" Ashen spluttered as she focused on the new words- unaware that the dragon was somewhat under the hold of the floating orb's mental powers. "Now!"

Despite her warnings, the earth began to hiss and break apart. The sound of rushing waves suddenly exploded into the cavern, spraying everything with a jet of water as it hit the ceiling. Ashen paled- she hadn't meant to create a water spout that big, but in her haste she had not the time to fix it.

The green eyed huntress fell back as the water bowled her over- perhaps casting a spell such as this in an under ground area was not the smartest of choices, but at the time her only thought was that the water might extinguish the flames of the three fire spheres. She couldn't see what was going on any more as she struggled to keep her breath. She didn't know if KC had managed to get clear of the water or not, or if the waves had taken out any of her fellow Council members. Ashen was now left to hold on to anything she could in the rush of water and hope that the spout put out at least one of the fiery orbs...

Spifen was throughly drenched by the spell, but after the waves succeeded, there was a large cloud of steam surrounding the orb.

It noticed Ashen, and this time it was mad-the red color of its orb indicated an urge to kill, a strong urge.

This time, it cast Afterburner, sending a large sheet of flame in the direction of Ashen, while at the same time keeping its telekinetic powers focused on KC11 so she could not escape.
