The turn of events Ria was feeling was even more exhilarating on a monitor. We watched her being torn apart by a grape vine, strangled by ivy, questioned on planets, transported to a different dimension, and be attacked by a 5th dimensional panther.
But she had faced them all. Now she just had to find a way out. This was the real test. Our founders don't think that when you finish something dangerous, you will be zapped out of the situation. You have to learn it the hard way.
Each and every test had a different way of escaping. Mine was through a vent that was guarded by a rattlesnake nest. I bravely fought them and came back without a scratch.
This is how I got Dynamis.
My bravery could save others around me along with my personality. This is why my aura is a lightning bolt. It is always ready to strike.
I have never NOT been ready.
I bit my lip and saw on the monitor that Ria had just cut through a spider infested jungle.
She looked on the verge of tears.
I remembered the one day I felt like that. I had faced a rebel. Not just someone that doesn't do what they are told. Wizard rebels.
They look like they have never looked in a mirror. Their faces are scarred, purple, bloody. Mine didnt have lan eye.
I ALMOST cried.
I looked up again at the monitor. Ria was in a pitch black room. The floor underneath her was the only thing that gave off light. It was a diamond floor.
The floor glittered so immensely and I waited for Ria to be cut badly by the jagged edges. Not that I would enjoy it.
Ria's ankle skimmed a piece of diamond that stuck out of the ground and I flinched at the thought of how much blood that would be.
After a few seconds she still wasn't wailing. I looked up, baffled. She was fine!
Wait how did that not cut her?
It was fake! Real diamond would have had her on her knees right now.
Use a ground breaking spell.
Use a ground breaking spell.
That is when I realized she didn't know any spells. All of her damage was out of anger or fear.
Jump. Jump. Jump.
Ria bent over, examining her ankle. Uh oh.
Her eyebrows were furrowed and her face wasn't smiling. Her eyes were narrowed.
Actually, this was great!
All of her damage was out of anger or fear!
She started jumping.Higher and higher. She looked as if she wanted to strangle the ground but she couldn't find it's neck.
She was sucked into a black hole. The world was swirling and she hit the ground.
So far, so good.
The place was lit up like the Fourth of July with random assortments of colors.
It all happened so fast. Giant spiders had surrounded her and they were closing in. She jumped on top of one of the spiders. She had hit its blind spot. It went mad and started hitting randomly. The rainbow rose showed up again.
This time it was getting bigger and bigger. What were the spiders guarding?
I looked beyond the scene and saw a staircase. She had gotten four of the spiders down. Four to go.
The rose was still getting bigger and I thought it would explode. Finally it burst into dust. It flaked the spiders like snow and cut into them. They were dying a painful death.
She jumped off the spider and ran for the stairs.
A cloud of fog circled the room and Ria's image formed in front of us.
Now I know why her aura is a rose. Sweet when not troubled, but the thorns come out when she is.
But why a rainbow?
Mine was orange. It meant I was energetic, charismatic, etc.
But what was rainbow?
