Deimos

Striding back from the Citadel’s shrine had already encompassed bouts of clarity – so much so that once he arrived back at the barracks, he penned a note to a recipient he presumed would be willing and able to train with magic – and Deimos was not one to request aid very often. The Thunder likely needed the outlet too, with everything else going on.

Rather than assume acceptance, the General wiled away thereafter with his residual responsibilities, taking stock of the armory and its necessary repairs, altering schedules and guard-work rotations, before finally making his way back into the training grounds. Several others lingered amidst the braziers, warming their hands before instating some skirmish, or brandishing their weaponry already, and he surveyed for more than a moment before instigating instruction.

So when Sah found him, the Sword would have long since removed his furs, and was joined by constituents along the sidelines – and while they cheered, jeered, or jostled on their fellow warriors, as wooden blades bounded, swung, and spun.

Sah

Sah had been restless lately. Ever since Aino had died, the Thunder's magic had been itching beneath his skin nearly constantly. An ever-present hum in his ears and tingle in his spine. Perhaps in response to his suppressed emotions his magic intended to act as an outlet.

Regardless, the Abandoned had found himself training at a higher intensity than normal. Although it likely would have been simpler just to increase his training time, between the twins and his responsibilities as a hunter and adviser, he simply did not have the time.

Deimos' invitation was thus a welcome opportunity and Sah found himself seeking out the Sword as soon as he could. As he arrived at the barracks, he headed straight for Deimos. "Morning Deimos." The greeting was short and accompanied with a tired smile that took more energy than it should.

Stepping back into position Sah tilted his head, "Weaponry and magic or just magic?" Perhaps the abrupt start was unintentionally rude, but the tension and restless energy was practically bleeding off of the younger Abandoned. They could speak later, but right now Sah just needed to move.

Deimos

At the sound of Sah’s voice and the subsequent greeting, the General nodded, breaking away from the ongoing crowd with one last look at the skirmish – pinpointing some reminders for later – before addressing the Thunder once they were a few strides aside. “Morning,” and though his gaze narrowed at the notes of fatigue around the other man’s features, he suppressed the inquiries threatening to launch. Perhaps it had been his children, or any of the other subsequent issues surrounding Cordelia and him.

Indifferent towards his restlessness, for the Sword was a oeuvre in calm, composed disposition, the monolith removed his furs and rolled his shoulders, feeling the surge of power immediately beginning to pulse through veins and bloodstreams. “Just magic.” It had been a long time since he’d stretched out simply those compulsions in any training – mostly used for everyday compliance or the occasional misadventure against monsters.

Taking his place several paces away, he gave Sah the first maneuver. “When you are ready.”

Sah

Sah appreciated that Deimos was willing to jump right into it. At the clarification he nodded and let out a sigh and eyed Deimos appraisingly. The younger Abandoned knew full well that he was outclassed but he still wanted to make this training worthwhile for his friend. Maybe he should take a creative approach?

Sah quickly analyzed their surroundings, spotting a few practice dummies not far away. They were abandoned and with no one close enough to be caught in the crossfire of it. But some of the dummies had their inner metal poles exposed. The last in the series of dummies was also slightly behind the Sword.  "I'm going to test something."

Channeling his lighting, Sah aimed it at the first dummy, intending to use the dummies as a circuit to bounce his lighting off and have it come from behind Deimos.

Deimos

Deimos presumed lightning would be part of the training, but could only faintly smirk when Sah decided to get creative. He’d already been a witness to several inventive notions of the Advisor, including punching a landshark in the face, but perhaps this would hold a different outcome.

At the very least, it made him calculate and think, stretching out his capabilities as well. He watched as the sparks shot around him – and over to the dummies, conducting through some of their metallic portions. It almost reminded him of that small journey before King’s End was unfurled to them again – the crashes of danger, the potential for desecration, the way he’d burrowed them into the land to avoid the unyielding elements.

With a quiet huff, the Sword leaned into his Mastered Earth incantations, lending them pulse and pervade through the training grounds, and snag at the floor, raising it to become a grounding shield, hovering over him so the lightning couldn’t, wouldn’t, strike his form.

Sah

Sah hummed lowly as he saw Deimos' magic come to life. The earth shield is a solid defense and although the younger Abandoned quickly tries to determine if there's another dummy or mechanism to further bounce his magic off of, he comes up empty. As such, the lighting continues its original path and impacts with the earth barrier with a sizzle. As the lightning fades, the barrier remains untouched part from an ash mark.

Regardless, his little experiment was a success. It seemed that Sah could create circuits with his lightning in order to redirect it. If the environment allowed for it, that was.

Now to destroy the barrier, or at least try to. Sah exhaled slowly and then focused his magic outward and into their surroundings. The mage glass around his neck warmed against his skin as it reacted to his call. "I've been meaning to try this one too." Pulling water from the air as he manipulated the wind. Channeling lightning through it all. The Abandoned attempted to create a small thunderstorm focused over Deimos' barrier.

Deimos

The thunderstorm aspects were familiar – though not from Sah. His eyes narrowed, memories flickering back as he and Hotaru had demonstrated similar tactics across Torchline’s beaches, unfurling water, air, and lightning to a blazing mastery of elemental prowess. “Did not know you had water magic now,” he uttered instead with a faint grin from behind the barrier.

And while the modest tempest might have raged, the Sword instigated further unfurling of Mastered Earth, adding more layers of rock and rubble, so the lightning would only be absorbed, caught in the tethers, and sullen into nothing.

However, not to be outdone, he utilized the same efforts to circumvent the ground directly underneath Sah – simply to see what the other Abandoned might do, when faced with a miniature earthquake.

Sah

Sah gives a small shrug, a pleased smile on his face, "It's new. I've had few chances to practice with it." With how cold Halo was, it was rather difficult to train with water given that so much of it froze before he could quite grasp the versatile liquid. It was harder to grasp at state changing substances it seemed. At least, when they were mid-shift.

Although his small storm dies off without doing much damage, Sah is still satisfied. It's proof that he can create a storm using his own power. Mind you, only if he continues to train and master his weaker elements. One day he hopes he'll be able to create a hurricane or similarly scaled storm without the use of his mageglass.

Deimos' earthquake is sudden and the younger Abandoned finds himself thinking on his feet. Balance is difficult when the earth itself is knocking you around. He's just barely able to keep his balance as he comes up with a plan. Sah has nothing in his arsenal that can truly stop an earthquake. So, his best bet is to stop Deimos.

Reaching with his magic, Sah grasps on to the nearby training items. Dummies, practice weapons, benches, etc. With his attention split between his own magic and staying on his feet, he's only able to grab a few.

But he still manages to grab some and telekinetically, throws them all at Deimos at once. If he can break the man's concentration for even a moment or make him have ot shift his course of action, that will hopefully be enough.

Deimos

Ever the calculating and methodical General, Deimos had more than a few ideas about how to utilize water incantations – but it wasn’t up to him. That would be something for Sah to explore, venture around, and yield when the opportunity or notions struck.

Like now, for instance.

Instead, the advisor seemed intent on the comfort and familiarity of telekinesis. From behind the formed portion of ground, Deimos could hear the insistence of objects flung (inwardly sighing that he’d probably have to pick them all up again later), directly at the safeguard. They bounded and compelled, but didn’t budge the protective threshold – strong and sturdy.

Which meant the Sword could continue this objective – escalating the severity of the rumbling, maneuvering ground underneath Sah’s feet.

--

The objects hit Deimos’ barrier, but simply seem to bounce off. Deimos continues to use his Mastered Earth to maintain the barrier and bother Sah with a minor earthquake.

Sah

Sah had in fact considered water for half a moment but given his lack of experience, he'd thought that it'd be to weak to be useful. Or more specifically, he doubted that even with the pendant's help, that he could actually break through the barrier with water. But given that his telekinesis had done very little, he might as well try.

The next wave of Deimos' magic sends Sah off his feet and he falls back, landing on his back. Coming up to his elbows, he eyes their surroundings quickly. A nearby well catches his eye and feeling the pendant warm up, he holds a hand out in concentration. The well rumbles and soon a Jetstream of water races out and heads towards Deimos' barrier.

As the water approaches, Sah's brow furrows and the suddenly the water stream transforms into a cloud of ice daggers. The daggers then launch directly at Deimos' earth barrier.

Sah loses his footing but then uses his pendant/water magic to send a barrage of ice daggers at Deimos' barrier.

Deimos

There. Now Sah was thinking.

New foundations of magic were sometimes difficult to consider – how, when, and where to utilize, given strength and other variables. Which was why now was such an opportune time to practice. The Sword valued these moments – where another thought for themselves, considered machinations, calculations, and abilities outside of normal notions and tangents.

He could hear the ice daggers threatening to pummel, landing broadly and sharply against the barrier. One might’ve even made its way through, but the Earth magic tightened its grip, surrounding the serrated edge, and utilizing it to become part of the structure itself. “Good idea though,” the General rumbled in response. Even if it hadn’t been as accurate, potent, or powerful as Sah might’ve wanted, it was a step in the right direction.

To counter these endeavors, Deimos snagged at the remains of Sah’s water incantations, and sent the piercing, icy shards volleying back.

Sah

Sah's eyes widen briefly as the ice daggers switch direction. He has a brief moment where he is able to reach deeply into his well of magic and wrestle the new magic into obeying him. The result is that to his own surprise, Sah is able to regain control of the daggers.

The ice shards once more shift direction and begin to head for Deimos' shield. However, water magic is still so new and downright slippery to the younger Abandoned. As such, his control doesn't last long enough. Letting out a rush of air, Sah's control wavers. The ice melts and what hits Deimos' shield is instead a stream of water.

The effort leaves Sah panting slightly even with the minor failure. "Damn water is hard to hold onto." In a last-ditch effort, he once more tries to grasp the nearby water, this time combining it with air as a support as his pendant warms. Creating a swirling corkscrew of water and air, he tries once more to send it at Deimos.

Sah manages to regain control of the daggers, but they turn into water on the trip back to Deimos. He then uses a combo of wind/water/pendant to try and send a corkscrew of air/water at Deimos's shield in an effort to pierce it.

Deimos

With a vague huff of amusement, the General watched the icy daggers shift directions multiple times. Unbothered by their haphazard streak, he watched as they swiveled back into their natural elements, honed and ready to pierce the earthen barrier that had withstood for so long.

And they managed to some extent, carving their niche through proportions, but never quite knocking it down all the way. Instead, Deimos did that on his own, transferring the stone and dirt portions back into their home, settling the ground once more. A signal, perhaps, that this had been enough for today. “Well done,” he murmured, brushing his hands together, finally glancing back at Sah. “You did well – and you have more to practice,” which could be the same for any of them (his gaze roaming back to soldiers milling about – and how they scurried away immediately). “Keep working on it,” and Sah would have all the time, and targets, he might need in the barracks for days to come.
