Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rintala couldn't sence things, like other people could, but she definately heard someone talk. She was stretching her right arm over her left shoulder as she glanced back at Ka'rinth. Pausing she turned to face him, a look of puzzlement on her face. "What ********?"

Sumara had fallen asleep where she was sitting untill now, she woke up and ayened. Her back hurt, but it was something that never suprised her, the skin around those cursed stones still was red and puffy somethimes. Sighing she stood up and stretched, and grabbed her bag as she left. "Time to go get those meds.." She mummbled to herself.

Serpent hissed in a sudden cold rage as he sensed the girl drawing on the strength of the earth in a manner that was improper. He suddenly began stalking towards her with his right hand held against his left shoulder and said, I am called Serpent, what I am is a part of a fractured soul and mind. What I am is a nature mage that has been trained to become my name sake. What we are is angry. What we are about to do is punish you for your transgression on the earth. As he spoke he continued forward, clearly something about how she drew on her power angered him.

Serpent continued forward, completely prepared to back her into a wall in order to deliver a back handed slap to her face. His actions clearly indicated his anger yet there was no trace of recognizable emotion to his face. Cold eyes never moved from her center, it would seem as though he were regarding her without actually focusing on her.

When her back touched the wall she looked from side to side, hesitantly. Then without warning she lashed out. Fear was what made someone weak! Because they were weak they were afraid of those stronger then themselves. Because she was weak, she was afraid of him. That weakness spawned rage, and that rage was fed to something. Deep inside of her something primal fed upon her anger! Because she didn't know how to properly control her powers she was able to control it as well as some others might, but because of the way she drew upon her power, it would be considered far stronger then most people could amount too, especially in the short amount of time she had the power. Two pillars of solid stone lept from the ground outside, bent themselves, crashed through the wall on either side of Rintala and struck for Serpent.

The side of Rintala's face began to turn a bright red, where Serpent had smacked her. Her face was burning red, not completely from the smack etiher, but from embarrassment and anger. Who was he to treat her as such?! And to disregard her power like it was nothing. Rage continued to build up inside of her, burning hotter then fire. Again she lashed out all around Serpent pillars, no more then a foot in diameter(spelling?), struck for him. They surrounded him in a perfect circle, and were all aimed for different parts of his body. She saw the way he just melded with the earth, and wondered if she too could do that.

Rintala staggered forward, almost bumping into Serpent but quickly catching herself and side stepping him. She was angry, angry that she wasn't strong enough, and angry that he was too strong! It took her several minutes to register the question...how could he do what? Beat the ever living hell out of her? Embarass her at every turn of futile struggle? "Because...you're too strong..." She said, more then angry with herself for admiting that she was weak, even if she did it indirectly. She lowered her head in shame, not even once glancing up at Serpent to defend against an attack. She was weak...she couldn't be strong like him. Everything she's done, all the hard work and training! It was all for naught. Her entire body began to shake in anger, and she thought she felt tears welling up in her eyes, but those were quickly pushed away. All the pain she'd endured, all the strength she had aquired! Nothing!!
