While it may have started out by Jaakuna trying to subdue Savayna without hurting her, that was proving to be a useless endeavor. She was so focused on hurting him with everything that she had and being trapped in some sort of brainwashed state by her own mind that had convinced her that Jaakuna and Nadeline, who were both doing everything they could to snap her out of this daze, weren’t real and the people in front of her were trying to kill her. Of course, in a direct response to that, she did everything she could to kill them before they did her in. That’s exactly what brought the two, former lovers in the situation that they both found themselves in. After repeatedly dodging and deflecting just about every attempt Savayna had made on his life, Jaakuna was successful in making sure Savayna didn’t sustain any serious injury. She might’ve had a few minor or moderate burns that had scorched away parts of her dress, but there was nothing life-threatening done to her by Jaakuna. He wasn’t trying to hurt her - just overwhelm her enough so she would see the truth. [color=crimson][i]It’s not working.[/i][/color] No shit Sherlock. Jaakuna had to put the thought that Belias had put out there out of his mind for the time being. His comments weren’t helping the already-stressful-enough situation that he was in with his ex-wife. Everytime that she felt the need to blast her way through his wall of flames or a powerful fire spell he would set up in advance as an attempt to halt her movement, she proved that she was more than capable of clearing the way with her increased strength. He couldn’t quite place how her power was increasing. [color=lightblue]“I got you now!”[/color] Savayna screeched. She was above Jaakuna. When he looked up, he saw that half of her body was encased in some reinforced crystal-like armor. It resembled magicite but it had a glossier shine and seemed way sturdier than any magicite ever was. She had her sword above her head and as she shifted her body down, so did her sword. From the tip came first a breeze unlike any before it and then the smallest particles of ice created from the freezing winds solidified in no time at all, causing them to double and triple in size over a dozen times over. This had threatened to surround Jaakuna in a several layered-tomb of ice. [color=crimson][i]Three seconds until complete cryostasis.[/i][/color] Belias informed Jaakuna. And in those three seconds, Jaakuna had decided to do exactly what he had said he’d never do at the start. His eyes had went completely white, then flashed several shades of gold and red. Then, as his mist would surround him in twice as many layers as what Savayna had created to threaten to freeze him where he stood, Jaakuna reached up with his extended arm. From his fingers, literal mist fingers went forth at blinding speeds and had Savayna by the throat. For nearly a full five seconds, Savayna fought it, trying to force her way out of it, but as the hold became tighter, Savayna lost all will to resist. Her attack ceased as her sword fell from her hand. When it fell, Jaakuna looked at Savayna’s dangling body. Her eyes were still on him. DEspite his efforts, she still hadn’t lost her consciousness[color=#FF0000]“[/color][color=#FF0606]Y[/color][color=#FF0D0D]o[/color][color=#FF1414]u[/color] [color=#FF2121]a[/color][color=#FF2828]r[/color][color=#FF2E2E]e[/color] [color=#FF3C3C]c[/color][color=#FF4343]e[/color][color=#FF4949]r[/color][color=#FF5050]t[/color][color=#FF5757]a[/color][color=#FF5D5D]i[/color][color=#FF6464]n[/color][color=#FF6B6B]l[/color][color=#FF7272]y[/color] [color=#FF7F7F]a[/color] [color=#FF8C8C]d[/color][color=#FF9393]e[/color][color=#FF9A9A]t[/color][color=#FFA1A1]e[/color][color=#FFA7A7]r[/color][color=#FFAEAE]m[/color][color=#FFB5B5]i[/color][color=#FFBBBB]n[/color][color=#FFC2C2]e[/color][color=#FFC9C9]d[/color] [color=#FFD6D6]o[/color][color=#FFDDDD]n[/color][color=#FFE4E4]e[/color][color=#FFEAEA],[/color] [color=#FFF8F8]b[/color][color=#FFFFFF]u[/color][color=#FEFCF9]t[/color] [color=#FCF7ED]y[/color][color=#FBF5E7]o[/color][color=#FAF3E1]u[/color] [color=#F8EED5]m[/color][color=#F7ECD0]u[/color][color=#F6E9CA]s[/color][color=#F5E7C4]t[/color] [color=#F3E2B8]k[/color][color=#F2E0B2]n[/color][color=#F1DDAC]o[/color][color=#F0DBA6]w[/color] [color=#EED69B]I[/color] [color=#ECD18F]a[/color][color=#EBCF89]m[/color] [color=#E9CA7D]n[/color][color=#E8C878]o[/color][color=#E7C672]t[/color] [color=#E5C166]y[/color][color=#E4BF60]o[/color][color=#E3BC5A]u[/color][color=#E2BA54]r[/color] [color=#E0B549]e[/color][color=#DFB343]n[/color][color=#DEB03D]e[/color][color=#DDAE37]m[/color][color=#DCAC31]y[/color][color=#DBA92B].[/color][color=#DAA725]”[/color] Though Jaakuna spoke, it was obvious that it had changed into that of Loghrif. When he spoke, it was obvious to him that Savayna still saw him as a fake. Despite being subdued and at the mercy of Logrhrif, her stance hadn’t changed. This was noted by her continuing attempts to cause harm to him even as she had limited options. She flicked her finger and a blast of ice came from behind.

To Savayna surprise, it had no effect on him. He didn’t so much as flinch as the cold breeze made direct contact with his bare back.

Though confused, she grabbed her sword and took a few, large steps back. In the time it took her to do that and Jaakuna to return to normal, she kept her stance, though as Jaakuna’s emerald eyes returned, his first sight was the ground. Savayna had yet to notice it, but all went according to plan. “And checkmate.” He said confidently. [color=lightblue]“What do you mea--”[/color] Savayna went to finish that thought while moving, though she had realized something rather crucial. [color=lightblue]“What is the meaning of this? Why can’t I move!?”[/color] She demanded to know. JAakuna ignored Savayna’s barking as he gave Nadeline a smirk of approval, jumping into the air and landing next to Nadeline. [color=ed1c24]“I honestly thought you were stalling on purpose.”[/color] Jaakuna whined, [color=ed1c24]“but it went just as you said it would. She never saw Loghrif coming. Now, hurry and do your thing.”[/color]
