Erebus smirked. This was enoguh for him, atg the moment. "If the lady wishes it so.. We will meet again, Ms. Lenore.." He said, nodding his whad in a bow, and closign his eyes. He couldn't have kept control much longer anyways.
Deimos had been fighting violently to regain control, and he barely even noticed when his own head reacted to his movements. He did though and opened his eysz, the cold edge gone, the glow noone in sigh.
"Len? Len. You're ok, right?" He asked, his voice both worried for Lenore and pissed of by Erebus. He tried to raise his arm to check if she was ok, when he noticed his body didn't move.
"Damn.. I.. grrr. I swear Len.." He growled, trying to break free of whatever it was that was keeping him bound. "I'll get him.. I will."

Jabir broke his control over Deimos body as soon as he saw it was him again controling it
"I believe we should continue with this class, both of you"

Sighing with definate relief as Erebus was sent away, Lenore gave Dei a smile.
"Yeah, of course I'm okay. Your companion's a little on the....unsubtle side."
Folding her wings back and willing the feathers to stop rattling, she nodded obediently at Jabir and stood at attention, soldier-style.
"Yes, sir."

Deimo rung out his hands and arms, an odd sensation creeping over them as he was freed. He felt a bit of relief as he heard she was ok. He didn't have full consciouness of what was going on when he was locked away like that. He looked back at Jabir, nodding. Back to the lesson it was then.
'Oh what fun that was.' Erebus piped in, his voice soft, but still ever present. 'Oh what fun I had with Ms. Lenore.'
'Shut up..'
'But why, oh son of mine, I had such fun while I was out. You should have seen the look on Ms. Lenore's face. You could tell she likes me.' He lied.
Deimos bristled noticably as he walked back to the vine, looking back at Lenore. 'You're lying. Deimos accused.
'Who me, no.. I don't blame her though. I am more powerful, smarter, more skilled..' He continued on for a while.'
Deimos shrunk a bit, looking back at Lenore again. Had she really? He didn't know what had been going on to clearly. Had she.. She had all the reason to. He was just a kid, and Erebus, as he had said, was much more powerful. He sighed, turning to the vine again. "Sorry, Len.." He grumbled in a low tone as he formed a fireball in his hand.

Jabir couldn't help to fell a bit awkward for being called sir. Most of the times he'd been called a lot less respectful names
"Okay, lets see if you can mange to land right this time Lenore" he said with a grin
He turned to Deimos "I don't know if you saw how Erebus casted that last fireball, but apply more wind power this time, alright?"

This didn't help his mood at all. He growled softly. Even Jabir liked the way Erebus did things better. The fireball in his hand flared, growing in size at his anger. He looked over at the vine, and imagined it as Erebus. Yes.. Swinging open the door to his air magic he thrust his open palm at the vine, air pulesing out of his ahnd right behind it. The fireball actually whistled as it sped to the vine, catching it on fire.
Deimos smirked. All he saw was a flaming Erebus.

"Very well Deimos, very well" he applauded "You passed your first test"
The vine curled back into the ground, leaving a black smudge were it once stood
"But before we try something different let me ask you something" he steped back of Deimos and briefly touched his cloak in a point where he couldn't see "Did you felt anything?"

Deimos shivered as he felt a finger brush against him. "Stop." He said, pulling away from Jabir. "That tickles.." He said, brushing at his cloak, trying to get the wierd sensation off of it.

"Good. It will make things a lot easier for your flight"
"This is your new task. You have to conjure a wind below yourself and use it to fill your cloak. But you have to keep it horizontal and wide open for at least 5 minutes, so you must know it's right just by feeling it and not looking at it"
He made a new set of vines sprout from the ground, this time just 4 feet away from them. Once it stoped growing it resembled a large watch "This will help you count the time. You can stop once it finishes a whole turn and it will restart everytime you fail"
He turned to Lenore "You better hurry. Deimos is getting ahead of you!"

Climbing up another of the vines, Lenore stopped about halfway up and prepared to launch herself off.
Here's hoping I don't break my neck, she thought cheerfully before letting go.
Remembering what Jabir had said, she didn't try to go very far - adjusting her razor feathers and tail carefully, she glided slightly unsteadily about fifteen feet away from the vine, landing a little less gracefully than she could have wished for. But, at least she didn't crash.
"How was that?""

"Very good. Do it once more but this time..." A round mushroom-like platform emerged from the ground, covered in the same white moss as the rest of the room "... land on this"
He was proud of them both, they were doing great progresses

Deimos watched Lenores excersize first., He had to learn to fly. He had to. What would Lenore think of him if he couldn't?
He willed his cloak to spread open, and it shudderened, opening slightly. He sighed, taking his hands to his cloack and streading it out. Then he closed his eyes and thought.. focused. A breeze passed, but nothing enough to lift him.
'Wrong.' Erebus piped in. 'Air magic doens't work the way fire magic does.' He said. 'You don't will it to be, it just.. is.'
Deimos grumbled angrily. Erebus was probably right, but he was pissed off at him right now. Either way he took his advice. He focused on flying, mroe than anything else. On being up in the air, isntead of how to get thre. With his eyes closed he didn't notice as he rose slowly from the ground.
When he did open his eyes, he smilled. He'd done it. "There!" He eclaimed, losing his concentrationa nd promptly fell onto his face with a loud thunk.

"Yes, sir!"
Climbing up onto the mushroom-thing and spreading her arms, Len prayed silently she wouldn't crash and break her neck.
"Here goes!"
She launched herself off gracefully and glided farther this time - stiffening her body as she began to lose altitude.
"C'mon, c'mon, just a lil' further!" she muttered wildly to herself, willing herself to stay airborne.
Landing nearly twenty-five feet away from the platform, facedown on the soft floor, she pushed herself up with a smile.
"How was that?" she asked, picking bits of the moss out of her hair.

The clock only moved for a few seconds before returning to its previews position when Deimos crashed. "Don't focus on lifting your body, just fill your cloak"
"A very nice landing, but what I really asked you was to land on the mushroom, not to fly from it" he winked

Filling his cloak. RIght. He focused again, fying, filling hs cloak. Like he would a balloon. Yes. Air siwrled up around him, his cloak catching the current and he was lifted up. Yes. This felt good. He stayed with his eyes closed for about 2 minutes, focusing.
He opened his eyes again soon, looking around. He was doing it, hew as flying. He was...
He fell.. again.
