The Heirs (-Invisible- & Brookgirl) 1x1

[Black Velvet]

((the planets???))
River held her shield up, and most of the spell's affects were deflected, but the shield was not designed for that kind of spell. As a result, it was more difficult for her to speak the spells... though not impossible.
She hesitated, swaying on her one good leg, then spoke a rain spell. It would help for what she was planning next. This spell was simple; the lessened effects of Jason's spells didn't affect it.

Hestia glanced at him, curious. "Well, Drake, what's your idea?"

[fly away.]

((Sorry, I meant plants.))

Jason felt the rain drip onto him, but he didn't speak the spell to stop it. Mainly because he didn't know it. He tried to find a good spell. Fire. He could use fire, but he didn't want to hurt her. He could tell her shield was good. So he spewed the spell for fire, not aiming it at her feet this time, but right at her. Feeling guilty immeditaly.

Drake smirked, "Pain always seems to make them do what we want."

[Black Velvet]

Her sheild weakened by the effort of the rain, some flames slipped through, burning River. Wincing in pain and then locking her jaw in an effort to conceal it, she spoke the spell to renew her sheild, and then spoke one that gathered some of the rain water together. The lessened effects of the silence spell were already fading.

Hestia smiled thinly in understanding. She had hoped for a more devious plan, but...

[fly away.]

Jason watched her wince, feeling horrible about it. Crap, he had hurt her again. He watched her for a minute, trying to figure out what she was doing. He spoke the fire spell, but this time he aimed it at the gathering water.

"Shall we do it with them in the ring? Or call a time out?" Drake asked.

[Black Velvet]

River spoke a spell that lifted the mass of water into the air, and then sent it crashing down on Jason- she knew it wouldn't hurt him; there was not enough water collected to cause any damage, just to startle him. Cursing herself inwardly, she wondered why she could not seem to find the will to hurt him. Gathereing up her strength, and still limping on the leg one of the rocks had struck, she prepared her next spell. Sending a couple of rocks flying indirectly at him, she tried to remember the words.

"No", said Hestia, "We should make it seem like one of THEM hurt the other- that way, the other will want revenge. River has already been struck a couple of times, and she still has not spoken a harmfull attack spell.... Jason probably thinks she will want to get him back, so next time she begins to speak a spell, give him the flames- that way he will think SHE caused them."
Hestia smiled at the plan that was still forming in her mind. It was pure genius...

Jason felt the water wash over him, though it didn't do any physical damage. He liked it against his skin, and it made his hair wet, now sticking to his face. He let his shield fall, letting one of the rocks strike him in the face on purpose. Just so he would know the pain she was feeling. He placed his shield back up, and prepared himself for her next spell. Letting her take the next move.

Drake nodded, waiting for her lips to form the spell, his hand raised slightly, discreetly, so he could send the flames to Jason as soon as the words had left River's lips.

[Black Velvet]

River saw the rock strike Jason, and gasped quietly... she thought that it was her fault, not knowing that Jason had let his shield drop on purpose. She staggered back, steadying herself carefully, and spoke a simple charm; one that would strengthen her shield, for she was determined not to harm him unless he gave her good reason too- which, in her opinion, he hadn't.

Hestia nodded... now was the time; River was speaking a charm. Hopefully, this would make the duel more interesting; after all, she didn't give her slaves a day off for nothing.

[fly away.]

Drake saw her lips move, and quickly sent the flame through Jason. He did it only once, but he knew that it would be effective. He was powerful after all.

Jason felt the flame roar through him, and it took every ounce of him not to yell out in pain. It made his shield drop again, though he quickly collected it back up. Had it been the girl? It didn't seem like something she would do. But, that was the only logical explantation. He thought for a charm. He sent fire rolling towards her, and rocks right after them.

[Black Velvet]

River gasped, shocked; she hadn't spoken th spell for flames. Reaching out to him, she would have ran to him, but just then he recovered. Her shield was down because of the shock of his pain, and she felt the flames sear through HER. Whimpering slighty, she dropped down and writhed on the ground. When she finally recovered, she struggled to stand- and was then struck down again by a volley of rocks. Colla[sing on the ground, she dragged herself farther from Jason and struggled to set the shield back up- but her concentration was broken- where HAD the first flames come from? Pondering this, she again struggled to her feet.

Hestia smiled; it had worked...
