[IC] wizards vs the rest of the world

[ShadowVentus]

His eyes go red once again as he prepares the illusion. "Only when you are." He replies, waiting for Issa's signal to cast the illusion.

[XxLyraxX]

Issa nods at him as she raised her arms into the arm and began singing.

"Let it go, let it go.
I am one with the wind and sky.
Let it go, let it go.
Here I stand, and here I'll stay.
Let the storm rage on.

My power flurries through the air into the ground.
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast."

Her voice rang out and a cold wind whipped around them as clouds formed in the sky and snow began to fall. She sang louder and the storm grew until snow was whipping everywhere.

[ShadowVentus]

On her command, Michael again creates the illusion of Grima, the fell dragon. Since it's bigger than it was before, he's drained of most of his energy, but is able to hold it long enough to have Grima let out a blood-curdling roar that can be heard by everyone in Rondorio. Grima stays, but Michael stumbles slightly, feeling a bit drained from creating such a flashy illusion.

[XxLyraxX]

Issa turned and wrapped her arms around Michael, still singing to keep the storm going as she tried to support him.

[ShadowVentus]

When she does this, Michael feels stronger. The red glow from his eyes has faded back to his regular brown, but with this newfound energy, he's able to make Grima look even more real. Grima roars once more.

[XxLyraxX]

Once she feels that the storm is sufficiently sustained and would stay strong she let her voice fade away while the snow whipped around them but they remained warm and dry.

[ShadowVentus]

Once he felt the same about the illusion, Michael stopped as well. "Heh...we did it. Let's hope this drives the enemy soldiers out of Rondorio..." He says this somewhat exhausted. "...I've only done an illusion and I'm drained...what a drag." He says, obviously disappointed by his stamina.

[XxLyraxX]

"I can make us something to eat to replenish out strength." She said and began heading back to the hatch, making sure Michael was right behind her.

[ShadowVentus]

He indeed was right behind her. He would every now and then use the wall to support him, but other than that, he was keeping the pace. "Heh, well, alright then. If you insist." He says.

[XxLyraxX]

Issa lead him back to her apartment, where Salem was lounging on the couch. "Sit." She said, waving her hand at the couch as she disappeared into the kitchen.

[ShadowVentus]

He sits on the couch. For once, he could just relax. This realization made Michael happy, for normally, he wouldn't be able to enjoy such a luxury.

[XxLyraxX]

Issa hummed quietly to herself as she got out the ingredients for soup. "Does soup sound alright to you?" She asked as she poked her head into the living room.

(Off to bed, night ^^)

[ShadowVentus]

"Sounds good to me." He responds, smiling. (Goodnight!)

[XxLyraxX]

Issa nodded and disappeared back into the kitchen. Soon the soup was done and she started ladling it into two bowls. Unfortunately some soup splashed onto her hand and she gasped, reflectively jerking her hand away. But her hand still held the soup bowl and the jerking motion caused even more soul to splash onto her already hurting hand, which caused her to cry out softly and the bowl slipped from her grasp, shattering against the cabinet and she gasped as tiny shards cut her arms.

[ShadowVentus]

At the sound of this, Michael rushes into the kitchen. "What's going o- W-Woah!" The soup on the floor causes him to slip and accidentally make Issa fall as well. Luckily for Issa, Michael breaks her fall.

[XxLyraxX]

"oof!" Issa blinked, disoriented to find herself suddenly on the floor. She shifted and was surprised to feel that she was laying on something firm yet soft at the same time. She blinked and looked up, spying Michael's face which was rather close to her own. She squeaked and tried to scramble up only to slip and land back on him again. "S-Sorry!" She squeaked, cheeks turning as red as a tomato.

Michael was twice as red. "I-It's ok! Are you alright?" He manages to ask with a concerned look in his eyes. "Are you hurt?" He asks.

[XxLyraxX]

Issa looked down at her arms, which were baring cuts and then at her left hand, which was red and stung from where the hot soup had spilled onto it. "I'm fine." She said as she tried to climb to her feet.

[ShadowVentus]

Michael sits up, takes Issa's hands in his, and they begin to glow. His magic pulses unto her body, healing all of her physical wounds.He then helps her up unto her feet. "Feel any better?" He asks.

[XxLyraxX]

Issa looked down at her healed arms before she smiled up at him. "Yes, thank you." She climbed to her feet and surveyed the mess before sighing and grabbing a broom to sweep up the shards of broken glass.
