Ember Rain

Trianna woke me up about an hour before sunrise. She somehow knew something was wrong and I needed to be in the training jungle by sunrise. How she knew, I have yet to learn. I told her quickly and having our minds connected help a lot under these situations. All I had to do was send her yesterday and then when that was simple she had few questions, “Will we have enough time?” “Are we ready for battle?” “Five days? So little time are you sure?”

“We’ll just have to wait and see, I have to go to training, and maybe you should go and practice your flying Tri. We don’t know if they’ll have any flying Guardians.”

“Good idea, just in case we have to battle we should be prepared.”  She took off into the charmed hole Julian created just for Trianna to use.

‘Knock, knock.’ “Speaking of the devil,” I said to myself.

“Good morning beautiful, breakfast?” He planted a kiss on my lips and took my arm and began to lead me out of the room. His blue eyes danced in the light of the hall.

“Why are you in such a good mood?” I asked surprised.

“Because I have talked to Simmone and she said it is fine to teach you magic.”

“Fantastic.” I said, thinking “Oh another thing to learn?”

“How did you learn the light?” He asked me.

“You haven’t heard? The Fire Master,” I bowed, “used magic to take away the darkness from Shade.”

“That was you?”

“How many more Fire Masters do you know?” I laughed.

“Hmmm, two…. three? Oh yeah just one.” He smiled grabbing my hand.

Ok I know that this whole relationship thing sprung out of nowhere.  Honestly it doesn’t make much sense to me either. Although when he’s there it’s like it all makes sense. Oh no, fairy tale romance, in my life. What was the world coming to these days? Oh yeah complete and total chaos. I couldn’t help but look at his intense blue eyes that contracted which his dark hair. He was so beautiful with his sharp features softened with the little boy you saw. He was Julian, and completely one of a kind.

I laughed at his joke, “What training are we doing today?”

“Well you are training with Simmone, I think most of the day with swords and shield control a little flame practice and harder lava tasks mixed with slight magic and basic control of fire.”

“I thought everything was about basic control.”

“You have to learn not to be a hot head.” He threw a purple ball of fire at me. I deflected it easily, but he mixed magic with his fire. I froze, solid and as cold as ice. I looked at him. I was positioned with my hand out in a stop motion, with my legs in a slight summa wrester stance. My dress barely shifted but was weighed down a bit from the ice feeling.

“Hmmm, this is a nice picture.” He said circling me. I thought of my fire hoping to counter act the ice he mixed with his fire. “That won’t work. The spell has to either ware of which take days or I could release it.” I looked at him with pleading eyes. “Then you’ll have to do something for me.” I asked what with questioning eyes. “Join me, join you’re father. You know the Masters just as well as I do, you know! We can change all of that; make it like earth make it fair for everyone. We wouldn’t need the West Unhillia Isles anymore the elements wouldn’t matter.”

Why would he join my father, he has the powers my father wants to make nothing. He has magic and so do I.

“Trianna I need some help.” I felt her presence immediately. I warmed and thought everything hot and warm, “Bria.” I murmured when I could move my lips. The feeling melted like Ice. I thought of swift movements, I jumped and circled my hands in a ball shape flinging it toward Julian. He landed on the wall. I thought of anything that could become liquid and remembered the air holds water molecules and I drew them out extending my hand as far as it could go and bringing it in to a cone; drawing it closer to myself. I made a wave small in size but it didn’t lack in punch.  I felt the water moving as he tried to draw his fire, I bid the water molecules to settle and cool leaving everything covered except for his head.

“You think I would join my father? You think that he actually honors your gifts? His plan is to get rid of the Elemental value of your world. I know I wasn’t born here Julian, but at least I know who the bad guys are and who aren’t. My dad is trying to do away with thousands of years of tradition. You would help him? I thought you were better than that, I honestly thought you were.” I looked at him hoping my speech reminded him were the good side was. But he still looked at me hatefully.

“I am the only one who can teach you magic.” He started. “Come with me and I will teach you.”

“I guess I will never learn then. I have other things to do than worry about you.”

“I guess you would Fire Master.”

“One day I will be more than that, and you will feel sorry for what side you have chosen.” I began to walk away. “Nec dimittam donec conflabo vos.” I said and the ice appeared to be iron, I said, “Don’t melt until I release you.” And I walked way to the Jungle of Training, I didn’t look back I just kept walking.
