Thread: Things to do...

Lox thought for a while when the woman currently yelling to god and anyone else listening she was the heir to the lunar village mage and smiled nostalgically. So that old coot had a daughter? It seemed strange a man as solemn as him would breed but then again he hadn't known him all that well... What he did know was this particular mage was one of the few beings on the face of the planet that he actually owed a favor to for procuring death light seeds for his own garden, and after taking the short walk to gate he immediately noticed the flower sitting on top of the woman's sun hat before rubbing his chin with his right hand and looking down to think. There could be no mistaking it then.... she was his daughter and the bastard had his word that he'd repay the favor those precious seeds. But this child didn't really need to bolster her magical skills in the least, she had more than enough skill to control huge amounts of mana without the slightest need for a boost but she was quite young after all and probably couldn't see what she was capable of. That and assuming her apparent arrogance by the face she was giving him floating up high and might it seemed like he had his work really cut out for him with this one. Never had he even considered taking on an apprentice and here he was about to take an unruly young woman barely out of her father's house to teach her how to be a magical freak of nature. But first things first for the little one, he couldn't have her looking down at him without the common sense to come to the ground and bow like a good student to their master though the question was how exactly would he show her why it wasn't a good idea to give him funny looks and assume that just because she has gems and jewels he'd simply drop everything he was doing to train her... Well. Young people usually didn't take well to harsh words, even though he wasn't that much older than her but actions usually made them see the error of their ways very quickly. So looking up at her with a slight frown he examined the way she cast the simple spell to keep her floating in the air and due to some kind of luck or disfavor with the gods a wayward wind actually gave him a peak up her dress. But it wasn't the time for such thoughts as he simply tore apart her spell with nothing more than raw mana, and with the slightest gestures of his left hand promptly yanked every last drop of mana she currently had in her body and whatever hidden gems she may have carried. It was one thing to break a spell with another one, as was it extremely complicated to drain the mana out of another magic user without quite a few years of training under ones belt and yet he did both without using anything but his own raw magic in a matter of seconds. Regardless of what she was thinking gravity soon took it's natural course and landed her right on her ass in front of him with Lox leaning down to look into her eyes at a much more appropriate angle. Gems and jewels are for people who like pretty rocks that are otherwise worthless child. Payment is assuming that I have actually agreed to train you child. And who you were spawned from means less than the worthless rocks you carry child. Who you were born from means nothing but who you are means everything when your dealing with me, and if it weren't for that favor I OWE him I would personally catapult you back into the ocean beside your village without a second thought. With a huge sigh Lox opened his left hand in front of him and produced a massive ball of mana out of what he had stolen from her body and toyed with it between his two hands for a moment before dispersing it to the world around them with a snap of his fingers. You little lady have quite a bit of work ahead of you, and for your sake I hope you can gather mana quickly. You've got about ten seconds before I see just what kind of combat skills you have. That should be plenty of time for you to recover what I yanked out of your body but hurry, your time starts.... now. The ground started to rumble around them as a five foot hole appeared and churned with earth, the smell of fire and something burning was filling the air as the hole continued to deepen with a hellish light slowly brightening the area around them. He wasn't going to fight her himself, he was summoning something from the pit itself to go against a child who if his money was in the right place hadn't ever seen an ounce of combat in her life. I hope you know a little about creatures from other realms child. This one is extremely friendly in that she likes to play with her prey before eating them. He really was going to be a hard ass with the poor girl but not before scaring the ever living shit out of her.
