[ action ] Letting Off Some Steam

[wishmadeinfire]

[ Let it never be said that Ashura has gotten lazy here in Paradisa. Sure it's a castle of your dreams, granting every wish. One could become lackadaisical here, lazy even, letting the Castle take care of you. But Ashura would not let that happen to himself, not when the Castle so enjoyed tossing more dangerous things at them besides Family Reunions (awkward as that was). 

So he is outside today, in the gardens, having chosen a place slightly to the side to be out of the way of those enjoying the main paths, but still visible. He is dressed simply in white and black, his hair back in a ponytail - his usual sparring attire versus his far more usual mass of jewels and silk. 

And what, precisely, is he doing?

He's tossing fire around. Yeah. 

Fire dances from his finger tips and plays behind him like a comet's tail. He kicked out, fire dancing along the line of his leg, following as he performed a flip (he was not terribly acrobatic, but he managed these smaller feats. It was practice as much as a release for him - but mostly practice. One could ill afford to be out of it, in this world, he was finding. 

Anyone care to join or challenge?]

Spells of dark magic, instead of fire magic.

[Dark Hand, Dark Lance, Dark Gluttony, Dark Wall...

...yep. All the dark.]

[wishmadeinfire]

I had to say that does not very much help me. In my world, we have no such thing as 'dark' magic, only ill uses of our Talents.

[whitecovered]

Hmmm...and I presume these Talents are more akin to magic rather than talent in the literal sense?

[Judging from how he was comparing dark magic to them.]

[wishmadeinfire]

They can be compared to Magic, yes.

_{[He slid his hand through the air, fire following.]}

Mine is Fire, but my world also has Water, Earth, Air, and Light.

[whitecovered]

Are Talent-wielders such as yourself common?

[He spoke of misuse, so...]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He thought on it.]}

Like myself? No. Talent in general - fairly so. The actual strength of said Talent varies though. I am unique in how strong I am.

[whitecovered]

Years upon years of training, hmmm?

[wishmadeinfire]

That, and natural talent. There are few in history who have been as strong as I or Yasha.

_{[He was not bragging, it was a statement of fact and that was all.]}

[whitecovered]

An adversary of yours...?

[wishmadeinfire]

Yes, the leader of the opposing clan. He controlled Light.

[whitecovered]

The control of light...I suppose that is possible, since darkness can be controlled as well.

[Namely, his own spells but. Details.]

[wishmadeinfire]

Well, not in my world, but I suppose that does make sense.
