She learned and adapted quickly; but Deimos was never without some scheme. He hadn’t made it this far in (multiple) lives to exist by one fireball at a time – even if two were deemed cheating. He laughed, let the rumble coast through his chest and outward into the air, watching as she raised her chin in defiance and challenge.
In response, he conjured more. The flames yielded easily at his command, just as akin to breathing, to maneuvering with a weapon in hand, to carving his way out of nothing but loss. They rose upwards in a conflagration, in a crescendo, purposefully meant to be towering and overwhelming. “How about a wall then?” he grinned; equal parts careful and mischievous, though she wouldn’t have to decide which one prospered further. He was at least predictable in that measure.
From there, he sent the enchantments towards her, but the onslaught of embers and fire were purposefully, strategically slow, towards her back, as if to give chase, hunt, and stalk, rather than pounce, granting and giving her ample opportunity to outpace it in any direction.
