Aklenroth's current disposition threw Darius off at first. The once helpless drunk now appeared to be the elf he had met just a few days ago in front of the Necropolis of Morteum. He gave the disguised king his space as he spoke of how the others had left him, a human so easily. [Color=mediumpurple][i]That's a bit rich coming from the guy who put a bounty on our heads.[/i][/color]

[Color=darkgray][i]It was needed![/i][/color]

[Color=mediumpurple][i]Yeah…[/i][/color] Aklenroth had a point in what he stated, at least in Darius' eyes. It's not like they proved otherwise.

[Color=mediumpurple]"Never thought too much of them anyway."[/color] He commented coldly before allowing Aklenroth to take the lead. The lich's hand on his shoulder was not as cold as he thought it would be. In fact, it was like any other person's. The form Aklenroth held was more than just an optical illusion.

As they ventured to the river, Darius thought about what he could ask the lich before posing a question. In a short time, Kol shared a lot about the workings of magic. At least generally. Darius was aware that certain emotions could amplify his magic. He knew that there was a difference between the generation of elements versus the manipulation of them in the environment. [Color=mediumpurple][i]What to ask…[/i][/color]

When the two reached the river, Darius immediately made an underhand motion up at eye level with his free hand, causing a mass of water to rise from the river. If Darius could guess, it was enough to fill half a bathtub. Darius looked at Aklenroth with sternness.

[Color=mediumpurple]"That human. The crazed one back there… He did things with air magic I wouldn't have even thought about…"[/color] Darius dropped his hand, which made the water fall back into its source. [Color=mediumpurple]"Kol taught me about what magic can do… I want you to tell me what [i]water magic[/i] can and [b]can't[/b] do."[/color] Darius recalled how the water seemed to escape his control as Bowyn froze it when creating the protective dome against Jack or how he could barely budge the snow on Daka. Darius set the mournwine down and took a deep breath as he used both hands to help him guide water from the river and surround the two of them in a cone of water. The action was swift and unnatural as it the. Cons. Remained still and clear, waving ever so slightly as if it was gelatinous. He didn't think too much of the display. Oh, why couldn't he just be able to freeze? Perhaps a Winter Fairy on standby?
