([color=8493ca]Dominus[/color], Streets of Artis Port, Praelium)

Darlien leap back, barely escaping the electricity that came from their hands. The Dominus grunted, disappointed that their attack was so easily dodged. He was proving to be more slippery than intended, something that the Dominus had not observed while stalking their target. 

[color=8493ca][i]Well, to be fair, most of his "fights" were more so just slaughters.[/i][/color]

"You think it's so simple?"[/color] He snickered. [color=f7941d]"You Praelians are rather simple folk aren't you? I don't care how foolish my errand seems, I already know it will succeed,"[/color]

The Dominus snickered back at Darlien's comment. Calling them Praelian? They were no more Praelian than the Twin Goddesses were from the Consortium. Darlien's fist turned to flame, and he continued to speak.

[color=f7941d]"I am Darlien Garandinar, son of Decus Garandinar, he who killed two of your mages alone,"[/color] he pounded his chest. [color=f7941d]"And I will avenge my father, and my mother, no matter how many Praelians I have to kill!"[/color]

The Dominus snickering stopped, their fist began to clench as well at the mention to the two other mages. Their fist began to arc with lightning, similar how Darlien's fist turned to flame. If their focus was narrowed before, it was laser like now.

"Are you scared? Dominus? Can you feel fear? Are you just some puppet of flesh for the Tyrannis to control? To do his dirty work?"[/color] Darlien continued to talk. [color=f7941d]"Do you bleed? Or is it some fluid constructed in a lab made of my father's ground up bones?! I bet you've so many scars you look like a toy under those robes, are they to hide your deformities? Or just to hide the..."[/color]

[color=8493ca][i]Is... Is he trying to taunt me?[/i][/color] The Dominus realized the mage's shift in tactic. [color=8493ca][i]He... He really hasn't fought against anyone of true skill before.[/i][/color]

Most of the taunts fell on deaf ears. One caught the Dominus mage's attention, something about their apperance, but they were confident in their figure beneath the hood. As the man prattled on the Dominus mage hummed and the arcing on their hands grew larger and sparked with more intensity. They figure it was polite to let the man finish his tirade before they cast their spell. That, and they had more time to charge the power of their spell.

[color=f7941d]"...that's all you are to them, a number, replaceable, like my father!"[/color]

[i]Ah finally finished...[/i]

"One, learn more about our politics," The Dominus began. "Two, monolouges. Never a good idea in a battle."

The Dominus mage shot their hands out and arcs of lightning leap from their hands, connecting at the place Holden was standing. The spell was so powerful, the Dominus couldn't keep their focus on the illusion spell keeping their face obscured and hood on. The hood flipped back, revealing the Dominus' face.

[i]Shit... I need to make sure this will cause a concussion...[/i]

They didn't intend to stop their spell, especially if it were to hit Holden. They would hold it until the man crumpled to the ground, then probably find something to cause blunt force trauma to make them forget seeing their face.

(The power of the spell caused the Dominus to lose control of the "passive" spell she was keeping up, thus causing the hood to fall backwards. He enhanced agility is gone now as well.)
