[IC] Black magic (Still accepting!)

[Strong Potato]

Herm starts ripping the floor apart.

"His name is Elnesto. You probably hate me even more if I tell you he is my buddy, captured by flying evil creatures."

[Shadow Dragon]

He cracks his knuckles. "I don't really care about what you think is important, golem. I have no reason to hate you. Technically, as you are a monster, I am your sovereign. I think I am correct in believing that you think that might makes right?" He examines his scythe blade, completely at ease. "Would you like to "fight the evil monster" golem?" He looks up. "I promise that I'll fight fair. No powers."

[Mogget]

"I believe who we came to save was a child, though, he probably escaped already." Dij gulped.

[Shadow Dragon]

He looks at Dij curiously. "A...child? What did this...child look like?"

[Strong Potato]

"I prefer to fight people with equal strength. Also, if you want me to fight you without powers, wait for the weekend. Elnesto was very blitz, energetic, his hair looked like lightning. He always had a mischievous grin, that grew as his amount of trouble rised. I hope this description helps..."

Herm sits down.

[Shadow Dragon]

He laughs. "Fine, I'll fight you at your full strength. Adds a bigger challenge." He looks at Herm expectantly. "You wanna have a go? If you beat me, I'll help you with some other things you can use your powers for." He stops and thinks. "Hair like lightning....hummm... OH! I know who you're looking for. And I know where he should be by now. Believe me, he's better of gone. Or dead."

[Mogget]

Dij's forehead crinkles up in confusion, "what do you mean by that? Where is he?" He asked.

[Shadow Dragon]

He shakes his head. "That child is insane. You're better off without him."

[Mogget]

Dij slowly shrugged at the suggestion, "We have a task to complete, so we're here to save him."

[Strong Potato]

Herm stands up.

"Well, I could spar a little with you, but all-out is not for now. We got Elnesto to save and going through all my resources now would not help anyone. Perhaps when this is all over."

Herm walks up to Dij.

"We are here to get him back. With or without your help, mr. 'souvenir'. Right, Dij?"

[Shadow Dragon]

His eyes slide into slits, and he walks forward, changing form as he approaches Herm. "Treat me with respect, worm. Or I'll crush you like the insect you are." He finishs his transformation into his true form, but this one seems different. For one thing, it's covered in blades and spikes. For another, Prisom isn't around to protect you this time.

[Mogget]

"Yeah," Dij smiled a bit at what Herms said, "we came here to save someone and we'll complete it no matter what."

[Strong Potato]

"Hey, I am here to save Elnesto. Whatever your problem is with Prisom, it does not concern me. Also, try to find someone else that can lift a part of the ice mountain to throw on mr. Fire. Would you either fight now and condem the world or fight later and becoming the first person I didn't let win on purpose?"

Herm starts thinking. He is forgetting about something.

"Is today friday?"

[Shadow Dragon]

He shakes his head. "Time works differently here. There aren't "days" here. We rarely, if ever, see the sun. Back at your school, I believe it is Thursday. As for someone who can "lift a ice mountain" to drop on Pyro, who do you think did that in the first place? As for being the "First person to beat you", 95% of the school you go to could rip you apart with ease. You seem to forget that you are one of the few mages without a ranged attack. And I could beat you without using my powers. You fight relying on you brute strength to see you though. I fight intelligently."

[Mogget]

"I could fight with him, and back him up." Dij declared, "all my abilites are ranged attacks."

He paused, and with a flush of embaressement on his cheeks turned to Herms, "whats your name?" He asked to Herm's.

[Strong Potato]

"Herm."

He laughs.

"Yes. Range is something I might lack, but try applying my muscle pressure on any of these people in the school, 96% would not survive a single contraction. Intelligence doesn't matter if your brain is removed from your body, but I guess it is different for insects like you? I can throw insult right back at you, it fixes nothing. As for that fire monster, I guess you weren't intelligent enough to keep it locked up?"

He stares at him.

"Something is still fishy about your stories. Why hide in the dark?"

[Shadow Dragon]

He growls, and slinks deeper into the shadows. "Prisom can see anywhere that is lit up enough. I try to stay out of his sight, and a confrontation between us would be....problematic. As for Pyro, I don't know how he managed to escape. We all thought that we kept that ice box cold enough to control his power, but he still managed to break free. I believe that someone helped in his escape." His voice sounds truthful enough, but there's something that he clearly isn't telling you. "If you call me an insect again, I'll eat you, arm boy. Limb by limb."

[Strong Potato]

"How about I bring some light in here? Pathetic... Hiding from Prisom? Just attack him with his weakness and let him drive himself into the ground. Besides, I think there already is one person I know that could help achieve a stronger form."

He spits on the floor.

"If you don't spill your beans, I will help Prisom spill your guts. Talk."

[Shadow Dragon]

He snarls. "I will not be disrespected by a monster such as you!" He vanishes, and reappears in front of Herm, stabbing him with his talons. The talons feel like burning icicles being shoved into his chest, and he feels indescribable pain flaring through his body. "I claimed my throne as king by destroying every monster that challenged me. I became the Alpha, for lack of a better word, by sheer will and power. Tell me, golem. Who's stronger? You? Or Me?" He flings Herm by the talons embedded in his chest, and sends him flying through the air against a cold stone wall. The impact is so powerful Herm can hear, and see, his own bones cracking and breaking as he hits the wall, the venom in his blood like liquid fire. "No one knows Prisoms weakness! Not even your precious headmaster."

[Strong Potato]

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but atleast Prisom never hurt me with words."

With effort, he gets back up.

"How come you are so sure about that? Wouldn't that require intelligence beyond your insect brain?"

He coughs up the venom.

"If you truly were so intelligent, you could see the opportunity in front of you and cling to it."
