♋⇨If anything, Isabelle was definitely not expecting the flash of lightning coming down the corridor, mainly because “he” wasn’t that familiar with everyone’s abilities. The only thing that Isabelle was sure of now was that either another team or the last two teams had found them, and they seemed a bit tougher than the last. With quick movements, Isabelle stopped running and grabbed Vladd, pulling them both to the ground so that wouldn’t get electrocuted. This makes me wish I could’ve controlled it, Isabelle thought with a small smirk, Too bad that’s not in Apollo’s domain, or that would’ve been so much fun to turn the tables on whoever wanted to fry us.
Vladd wanted to know just how long Isabelle had planned to keep the two of them on the ground. After that bolt of lightning passed them, “she” thought she could still feel some kind of leftover feeling of static before it disappeared. They were on the ground for a few seconds longer, probably just waiting out another attack or playing dead, Vladd wasn’t really sure. After what seemed like five minutes, even though it was a lot shorter, Vladd felt Isabelle let go of “her” and saw “him” get up slowly, cautious for the next attack. Vladd did the same thing and looked around, hoping to scope out who’s responsible.
“Nothing like good ol’ surprise attacks, no?” Vladd joked drily, a small smirk on “her” face. “She” titled “her” head curiously as Isabelle seemed to be off in “his” own little world. Any other time, Vladd wouldn’t mind Isabelle’s tendency to space out, but “she” knew that it wasn’t such a great idea at that moment. Before Vladd could even open “her” mouth to say something, “she” could’ve sworn that Isabelle was actually… glowing? Vladd could barely believe what was happening in front of “her”, but Isabelle’s voice brought “her” out of “her” dazed stupor.
“Vladd,” Isabelle started almost quietly, as if they could be heard easily, “I need you to make sure to shield us for however long the spell can last. And if not shield, hunt down.” Carefully, Isabelle’s stance changed as “he” summoned a bow and arrow made of light as easily as creating a butterfly of “his” same power. For being one of the only few in “his” family that carried almost every trait of Apollo, archery was one of the easiest things that came naturally to “him”, just like drawing.
Isabelle knew that Vladd would be confused at that current moment, especially since they were running around on blind intuition at that point. However, Isabelle knew that two could play at shooting beams of light at the other until someone either fell down or revealed themselves. With Isabelle and Vladd being out in the open, “he” knew that their new opponent wasn’t far off. So, instead of aiming carelessly, Isabelle hoped to lure them out in somewhat of the same way that they had tried to get rid of them. What “he” was doing was new, relying on the sun’s energy and particles of the sun to boost “his” arrow of light, but it was the best idea that occurred in “his” mind.
Vladd knew that it wasn’t the best to ask Isabelle when “she” knew the obvious answer. Plus, it seemed pretty obvious what Isabelle was planning. Still, what spell Vladd could use was a problem. Sure, “she” could use a temporary protection spell for the time being, something that wasn’t too draining, but “she” still wanted to be on the offensive as well. The only thing that Vladd was sure of was that their enemy could use lightning, or, lightning was easily at their disposal. Whatever the case was, Vladd continued to think of spells that would be powerful enough but wouldn’t drain “her” out too much or they would be sitting ducks the next time they were attacked.
“She” wanted to tell Isabelle to take it easy on “his” next attack, but Vladd knew that if Isabelle was sure of “himself”, then there was nothing to worry about. Still, “she” couldn’t help but marvel at the intensity of “his” arrow and how it almost seemed blinding. Sure, it could backfire and they could be attacked by the other team from behind (assuming that the other team was behind them and they would be screwed regardless of whichever leftover team they beat off first), but that wasn’t that important at the moment. Vladd picked out the spell that “she” wanted from her memory and recited it quickly, making no mistakes in the wording and then eventually felt the effect of “her” spell in a matter of seconds. The protection spell was short term, but it would be enough for now. Anything at that moment was good for them then.
Isabelle soon felt the effects of Vladd’s spell and smiled to “himself”. “He” carried around some of the same fears that Vladd was contemplating, but those negative thoughts soon disappeared, especially since Isabelle knew that they’d be distracting. “He” wasn’t even aware of the fact that “he” was glowing almost “god-like” and how “his” eyes seemed to lose their emerald green color. All Isabelle had was one chance, one shot, and only hoped that it would prove effective. “He” sensed that the power of the bow was strong enough to make a strong impact. Mixing “his” already given ability with the particles from the sun and even the energy of the sun rays was a new thing, especially since Isabelle didn’t know how tired “he” would feel when it was over.
There was no telling how much time had passed since Vladd’s casting of their brief protection spell. The only thing that Isabelle focused on was the direction of “his” shot. With trained, focused eyes, Isabelle guided the direction of the bow and arrow, which continued to glow immensely, into the area of where the bolt of lightning came from. There was a small countdown going on in “his” mind and once again, Isabelle found “himself” smiling lightly. When the mental countdown reached zero in “his mind, “he” released the arrow of light, which quickly flew down the corridor with the same speed (with a little extra boost thanks to “his” wind ability) and intensity of their opponents’ bolt of lightning, but a bit stronger in power.
Vladd was beyond speechless when Isabelle retaliated with such a powerful attack. Of course, Vladd didn’t stay amazed for too long as “she” went to Isabelle’s side, making sure that “her” friend was alright. The glowing had immediately disappeared and Vladd even saw that “his” eyes were their same color. When Vladd was sure that Isabelle was still fine, “she” backed away a little and was already preparing for the next attack, a spell to retaliate rapidly coming across “her” mind since there were so many options.
Isabelle stood up straight and was on the defensive yet again. A part of “him” wanted to crack a bad joke at that moment, but now wasn’t the time for something like that. Looking at Vladd, the two took cautious steps forward, both cautiously looking around them so that they wouldn’t get caught off guard again. They may have been a bit tired, but Isabelle knew that the two of them wouldn’t back down without a good fight. Let’s see how they like a taste of their own medicine, Isabelle thought with a small smirk, still being cautious and giving only just a few looks from behind, just in case they would be ambushed where they were least aware and protected of.⇦♋
