Frostbite

Chapter three-sCArY SpIdeRs

Shaking her head and dismissing it as a figmint of her imagination she resumed walking as she entered a large dungeon with the Bull demon who snorted when he walked in.

"You act as if you heard something that frightened you..." huffed the demon as he added "fear is for the weak you have no need to be scared"

Frost shrugged she had the feeling that fear was normal and she didn't exactly like the fact that he was seeing her every movement within these halls as she boldly asked "so what do you teach?" She asked

"Muscle,strength and endurance I test to see how much pain you handle with luck you should be able to take a sword through the gut and continue to fight" said Mankor staring straight at her

Frost sweat dropped did passing this course mean she had to have a sword shoved into her gut every day?

*"I really hope I don't have to get impaled every class...its gonna be annoying*" she said as Mankor stomped his foot snd said

"But today I'll take it easy on you and just test your physical muscle" he said

*"Oh boy*" she thought as he tossed a large metal rod that landed by her feet she had to step back to avoid her toes being crushed.

"Lift this" he ordered

Frost hesitated and with a snort but the demon she bent down and put her hands under the metal rod which was ice cold-not that it bothered her but nonetheless still cold.

She was surprised at its weight as she struggled to lift it straining to even budge it despite this she kept on pushing on she rolled it a tiny bit however.

Finally after about fifteen minutes her hearing her struggling with it the general said "enough"

Frost stopped and rolled her shoulders looking up at the Bull demon

"You need a lot of work on your physical muscle..now let's try endurance" he said and swung his tail

Frost seen it coming so she just braced herself and even started to form an ice barrier in front if her as his tail slammed into her.

That ice barrier in question seemed like a good idea

Except the fact that it failed entirely and shattered when his tail touched the barrier sending her flying and slamming into a wall all air being knocked out of her with yet another very load "OOF!!"

The horned demon looked at her and said "I see you tried to defend yourself but you can't always rely on magic" he said swinging his tail from back and forth

Frost still stood up and said "well then hit me again!" She said

The demon seemingly enjoyed this request and swung his tail again

*"That...was a bad idea"* as a tail that felt like iron slammed into her again

A few hours later even tho her main injuries had no been healed by her hearing factor she was panting as she coughed

Mankur said to her "I respect you not refusing to lay down and die"he said then added "but you still need to work on it" he said

Frost sighed "I know.. I know"

The horned demon then said "to say is finished to to your next lessson" he said

Frost nodded and left the arena heading to the class she dreaded the most

After a few moments she walked into a statue filled room that seemed to be empty.

Looking around she was confused wasn t she supposed to be here? She was about to call out her name as a voice answered behind her

"If you couldn't tell I was already here child then you have a long ways to go.." hissed the spider demon

She shivered she hated the sound of her voice didn't even sound natural to begin with!

She turned around and took a few respectful steps back

"I will teach you on how to use your magic to its fullest potential my sweet" she said slyly

Frost sighed she had already been recognised by her father for seemingly having a talent with magical based capabilites already.

The spider demon walked over her and took her place at the other side if the room

"I am among the strongest magical casters in all of the nine hells Frost so feel privileged" she said

Her smile I guess you could say passed for being friendly enough but her eyes where filled with a void of cold light and their glint meant she expected to be obeyed as she said

"First survival magic" she said

"Treat your magical abilites as an extension of your self magic is a tool not some play thing..." she said stopping for a moment to wipe her mouth which had started to foam Frost glancing away in the process so she didn't have to witness it.

"Magic is neither good nor evil child it is "good" only if the user is "good" and it's only "evil" if the user is "evil"...bah! "Evil" and "good" such childish terms" said the spider demon now apperently rambling on and on about "useless" terms.

Frost waited for her to calm down before speaking "is magic limitless In it's potential?" She asked

Achkra hissed and nodded "Yes my sweet magic has an infinite amount potential limited only by the users imagination" she said foaming yet again

*"was This a personal issue with all her foaming?"* Frost thought as she waited for her to finish

A few moments later she did and she said "now...use your magic to heal yourself" she said

She swung one of her barbed legs and slashed her thigh

*"I love this place..constant abuse by their teachers to the students*"

She thought for a moment and after a fit of concentration her cut started to vanish

The spider demon seemed to be satisfied "well done.. your father was correct you do seem to be naturally talented at magic" she purred

She sighed as much as she enjoyed the praise she felt chilled instead of proud and she couldn't exactly tell why she felt that way.

After a few more hours of magical training the spider said "we are finished for today my sweet..please do come back again my sweet" she purred

Frost merely nodded in reply as she abruptly turned around and left the room glad to be away from that..thing.

After a few more hours of rest her father appeared before her.

"My generals tell me that you need work but you also show promise especially in your magical capabilites training" he said

She nodded not sparing the energy to reply

"Now Frost...come with me I have a great many things to show you..and it will take great time and effort but you will prevail" he said

And with that Frost stood up nodded and followed her father.
