OoC: *laughs* you know my boys way too well XD well, of course they are a bit on the predictable side...

BiC: Ayalmar grinned and bolted off into the trees, Lohiya hot on his tail. Iyasis laughed as they whirred by, smiling at Bella. "As i'm sure you can see, they haven't changed much " she grinned. "So i trust you've been well?"

The tracker smiled and nodded. "Yep ^^. Just same old stuff, really. Wandering, wandering, and if i'm lucky, some more wandering " she grinned.

The immortal chuckled. "Oh, how exciting." she mused.

Ayalmar u-turned so the two boys were coming back around, and with a smirk the gryphon, still running, half turned and shot out his left arm, palm out. There was a strange blur that rushed through the air, and suddenly Lohiya's feet froze in mid-run so he instantly fell over on his face. Ayalmar slowed to a stop, smirking.

Iyasis laughed. "Aaaand Ayamar's been practicing his new Demimancer status on Lohiya "

Ayalmar grinned. "And he makes such a wonderful guinea pig, does he not?"

Lohiya lifted his head, and spat out a clump of dirt. "Oh, so that's how you wanna play, huh tough guy? Well fine then. You aren't the only mancer here..." he jumped to his feet and flickered his fingers in a wave-like motion. He smiled. "And i've been at it far longer than you..."
The air began to tighten and swirl slowly around the gryphon. He blinked. "S*it..." he scowled, realizing what the blond was about to do. "That's not fair!"

Lohiya scoffed. "How so? It's exactly the same. You can't escape air, and i can't escape time." he smirked. "We're perfectly matched."

Ayalmar smirked even heavier. "Matched, are we?" Suddenly, seemingly from thin air, the man whipped out a long black staff. Three rings spun slowly around each other interwoven at its tip, not touching the staff itself, but just hovering there. Lohiya's eyes widened. Ayalmar muttered under his breath and the rings began to spin faster.

Lohiya backed up a bit. "Uh... heh. Hey now buddy... there's no need for that... >>;;" Ayalmar didn't stop. Lohiya looked jokingly nervous. "Ayalmar, i mean it... put it away, come on now... you don't really want to hurt me do you?" he gave him a childish puppy-eyed look.

Suddenly the swiftly spinning rings on the man's staff stopped abruptly. After a second of perfect silence, the ground beneath Lohiya exploded. He yelped. "Hot hot HOT!!!" he screamed, dancing up and down, prancing away from where he had stood but a moment before, where molten rock was beginning to ooz out of the ground.

Ayalmar smirked, blowing on the tip of his staff triumphantly. He tapped the staff end on the ground, and the earth closed back up, like nothing had happened. Lohiya scowled at him. "I liked you better when you were just a namarak." Ayalmar laughed.

OoC: YAY! an actual long post!!! XD
