A shockwave of magic hit Mortus like a Giant's hammer. The Silver Gem's power is caling to us...the power wants us. it needs a better wielder. what better to command it than you, Mortus? whispered a voice in Mortus' mind. he ignored it and carried on with the lesson,summoning the Fire Pillar before Inferno's and Fieras' eyes. a large circle had been made in the grass. "Fieras, your turn". Inferno watched as the young Female Imperial mimicked what her father had commanded, and suddenly, the deep, enraged, booming voice of Mortus filled his mind. YOU SHALL NOT NEAR MY DAUGHTER AGAIN, YOU DISGRACEFUL HALF-BREED LIZARD! boomed the voice. Inferno's thoughts turned against it, at first in fear and then in anger. Her wishes are what matter to me. if i am who she wants by her side, I SHALL NOT stop simply because an aging Emperor, regardless of wisdom, doesn't see me fit for her. and i was raised and taught that Emperors cared not of a Dragon's blood, but their ability. apparently, those were the Emperors of old, and not the ones who rule us now. Inferno eyed Mortus, seeing an angry yellow draconic eye staring at him. Inferno was then hit with another angry comment. Aged though i may be, when my daughter is conscerned, i care only for those who are worthy of her. you are not among those few, and i doubt you ever will be. not all Emperors are worthy of their place came the booming voice. So it seems, Mortus. So it seems. if an Emperor of our kind cannot even detect emotions correctly, i see him as unworthy of his position responded Inferno in his own mind, a cold tone in the thought as he returned his concentration to Fieras, his concentration managing to drown out the hateful comments that followed. a beam of red light shot out of the sky, slamming into the ground before her, burning the grass below it. Mortus growled coldly. "Inferno. your turn". he then looked at Fieras as she stalked past, a stone cold stare in her eyes as she looked into her father's yellow eyes angrily. Inferno stepped forward and spread his eyes as he focused on the target, and summoned up his mana at that point. a bluish beam barely wider than a human hit the ground. he could almost hear Mortus yelling the word UNWORTHY in the back of his mind, and his rage was channeled into his focus. the beam became wider and wider and soon, surprisingly, dwarved Mortus and Fieras' Fire Pillars
the ground underneath was pitch black, the massive blue beam desimating what was underneath. he ended the beam and turned to face them, satisfied by the slightly impressed look in Mortus' eyes, and even more satisfied at the dreamy look in Fieras' eyes, which were out of place on her usually calm, but focused face. Not bad...for a half-breed said a voice in his head. Inferno struggled to avoid summoning the beam again on top of his mentor turned enemy. Inferno growled "What next?". "The Fire Star" Mortus growled, a sudden tone of entrigue in his voice. "in power, it's almost the mightiest. it's problem is speed. but what it does is extraordinary. it's particularly powerful against Demons. be cause it burns on the outside of the target, and feeds off the heat on the inside. that has the ability to drain a Demon of it's energy and eventually killing it. another version of the Spell, the Fire Spear, does the same thing, but unlike the Star, the Spear is ALOT faster, but cannot follow a target". Mortus reared up onto his hind legs, and waved a clawed hand, summoning a captured Demon that had killed many dragons. it was held in what seemed to be a crystal cage. "You first must target your opponent, and make sure he's either very slow, or incapable of moving. and then, you just draw your mana in the form of a 5 pointed fireball. i fire it through your mouth like a normal fireball, but in this case, you use mana to control it" he said, using mind power now, in case something managed to free the demon. he then drew his neck back, it's curve similar to a slimey serpent, before firing a yellow fireball that soon expanded, slowing down as it grew. it grew 5 points, now looking strikingly like a star. the blast knocked the Demon in the cage back against the wall, the fire covering it and draining it's energy slowly, without it knowing. Fieras stepped forward, and mimicked her father's acts. she looked striking. he was sure the Demon was intimidated, seeing her stand. she unleashed a yellowish fireball, tipped with white, which soon turned into a 5 pointed form similar to a star, and rotated as it neared the demon, finally slamming into the Demon, which was laughing maniacally, as if thinking that it was normal fire they were hitting him with. Inferno stepped forward, Mortus' taunts being silenced. they were now in his realm of expertise. Inferno prepared a massive fireball while focussing his mana on it, charging the fireball with it to the point it was difficult to keep in place. he finally unleashed a bright white fireball, that had edges that were a rich, fiery royal blue colour, with yellow tips on each of the 8 points on it. the Fire Star rotated, and slammed into the Demon with such force that it was pinned back, it's laugh suddenly silenced. it curled up on the ground, writhing silently as it finally became a pile of smoldering ash. Mortus grunted. "Must've been too weak to take another hit". he spread his wings, his lizard like form being lifted into the air by his large wings, and the group split up. Inferno looking at Fieras for a moment, before spreading his own wings and flying off, leaving his mentor, master and enemy with his beloved. he soared through the sky, an angry snarl coming from him as he reached the Black Peak, gliding right into his little lair, ignoring anyone who tried to speak to him. he then began to think of ways to get rid of the problem Fieras' father posed...
