Flames Ignite (Magna x OC)

Rigorous Training

A couple months went by after my fight with Magna. I still feel torn up by it, but honestly, I don't have the luxury of stewing over it. My training became more rigorous after the stunt I pulled. Seriously, these women are ruthless. They had me go through entire dungeons by myself while they just followed me around and watched, made me bring up heaps of crystals from the mining dungeon and practice flying with more weight, they even took me to the ocean and made me practice using my flames in water. None of it was easy.

We were flying towards the hot springs which was honestly a relief. I've already been there twice and managed just fine. The only annoying part is having to carry Leona who is kicking her legs like a child just to make my flying more difficult. My mother just snickered every so often watching us.

It's pretty neat seeing my mom use her magic. She refuses to do any fighting saying she's too old for it, but her magic looks pretty similar from what I can see. She's only using her wings though.

My mana skin is a lot more refined thanks to my training so when we landed I felt pretty good. "So what am I doing today? Breaking a bunch of boulders or something?" While I was looking around they both started stripping down. "What the hell are you guys doing?" My face grew red as I turned away.

"We're taking a lava bath." Leona smirked, throwing her last bit of clothes to the ground. "So get undressed unless you want to burn up all your clothes."

"Don't burn your clothes." My mother rolled her eyes. "It uses a lot more mana to protect you and your clothes so it's better to ditch the clothes."

"You two are actually insane." I looked back at them in utter shock as they both lowered themselves into a lava pit nearby.

"Hurry and join us. The lava is fine!" My mother shouted, waving back to me. "Just don't mess up or you'll burn to a crisp!"

I shuttered. "I'm so gonna die today..."

Thankfully, I in fact did not die. While I wasn't ready to fully get into molten lava, I dipped my feet in it. I'm impressed and proud of myself. My mana skin has really come a long way. Hell, I've come a long way. I haven't gotten knocked out cold in a while. I hope to keep it that way.

About a month later we got a surprise visit from Yami at the hot springs. I squealed, lowering myself further in the lava to cover myself while my mother and Leona laughed at me.

"You Vermillion women are insane." Yami flicked his cigarette into the lava between us.

"Come here to join us in the hot springs?" Leona patted the rock next to her.

"I came here to train, but I managed to find myself in the worst place imaginable." Turning to leave he waved back at us. "I'll just be heading home..." He took a few steps before pausing. "That's not going to work, is it?"

Leona's fiery paw reached out grabbing his head. "I thought you were a bull, not a chicken." She stepped out of the lava with it dripping down her bare skin. "You'll be a good example for your newbie."

I sighed. "It's been over a year. I'm not new anymore. And put some clothes on!"

The three of us got dressed while Yami grumbled looking away. "Damn, it's hot up here. Why do you like it so much up here Sisgoleon?"

"Who are you calling Sisgoleon, you fool?" She patted down her last bit of clothing before taking off full speed trying to punch the back of Yami's head.

He dodged by jumping to the side. "You sure are violent. You really just want to kill me don't ya?"

"If you're weak enough to die, then so be it." She lunged at him again and he took out his sword to block her fiery fist.
