He'd take notice of the crystalline figure and arch a brow as it fell back down. Had he had enough time to activate his cursed eye, he probably could of figured SOMETHING out...but he was clueless. Even when he did activate it and looked in to the hole at the object, it didn't reveal anything other than...fire. Physics shouldn't have allowed it, but then again, he'd seen stranger things. Again, he'd begin to tap his scythe on his shoulder and tear the paper and foil from a chocolate bar before taking a bit.
"Well, I'd say it'd possible, given you just did it. All of the elements can be given new forms, such as water in to ice or air in to poison, or even solid stone in to malleable clay. But fire in to a solid containing an element...that's a new one, and I'm pretty sure you're the first. If you can figure out how you do it, it could actually become one hell of a lethal weapon, or even...well, let's say there might be some healing arts that could be experimented with. But before any of that...you gotta get out of that hole, so c'mon! Call on your Dark Daddy's power and TELL it to do as you say!"
Yeah, tell it to do as you say. Last time he tried to just make his fire DO something, Ishado caught fire when he was aiming to warm up water. Again, more amazing stories to keep locked in the closet. Still, her unique talents were really stacking up and he was finding her far more valuable than any grimoire...
"Ya ga' mad at yer goat!? Well tha's na good. Y'know, even if ya dun use em' as a thing ta ride stupidly in ta battle, you'd at least have an infinite supply of milk. You two really oughta make up ASAP." He'd nod his head with pride, as if what he'd said would of been smart even if she HAD a goat.
He'd look at the pretty rock of...flame? Well that was a new one. Of course, with this miracle of science and magic, he could only think of how much it'd hurt to pass something like that. He also wondered if it was edible, like a spicy rock candy...though after hearing Singe, he was a little more afraid of passing the damned thing again.
He was also a little jealous...he was supposed to be the master of all fire, be it from Hell, Heaven or Earth....Weyward. Whatever. Now he was being put to shame by a Pestilence wannabe...so he'd keep creating fireballs in different ways, trying to crystallize them. Thus, he's say "Damn!" a lot.

Nimm moved and caught the fire stone as it fell it. She listened to teh explanation, and then realized 'Oh yeah, way out..' as she was brought back to the fact that she was still in the hole. She hadn't really forgotten so much as switched gears to figure out what she had done to make solid fire. Putting the stone in her pocket she went back to concentrating.
Now that she knew she could make fire in a solid state, she went along to seeing if she could change the shape of fire, instead of just normal little fire balls. 'Tell it what to do....' She brought up another fire ball, this one slightly larger, in order to give her ample amount to mess with. She held it between lose fingers, trying to visualize it taking a different shape. Originally she was just going to make stairs to climb out, so she focused on making the flame somewhat flat, and wide enough for her foot to rest on. The flame sputtered a bit, flaring a couple of times, almost in protest. She felt a sharp pain in her hand and yelped in surprise, quickly retracted them from the flame, glaring at it. It stayed in the air where she'd left it, shivering it seemed. Nimm looked down at her hand, a red burn line traced one of the wrinkles in her palm, but it wasn't anything too bad, it just burned.
Rubbing her palm on the side of her jacket she turned her attention back to teh fire ball. 'Well it obviously doesn't want to change shape.' she frowned a bit. 'Would it be easier if I made it solid again...?' As she thought the word solid, the ball shifted, taking on that glass like appearance once again. "So that's how it works." she smiled and attempted shaping it once more. It quivered in protest, but was much easier to comply, and soon enough she had her flat surface. Nimm studied it a moment, and realized something, she was tired. More so then she had been before. 'Making a set of stairs is not going to work...' she realized, making one flat surface was enough for now as she remembered the updraft she had gotten earlier. She brought one up again, but this time she focused on it a bit more, holding the flat frame of fire in her hands as she did. She made another and forced the updraft into only one area of the hole, which did what she hoped it would. Instead of a draft, she got a pretty strong gust going. She quickly moved to it and with both hands on teh flat piece of fire she hopped into said gust, the flat piece of fire catching the draft and sending her upward, out of the hole.
It was pretty quick and Nimm soon found herself swinging out of teh gust and landing unsteadily on the firm ground opposite of singe and them. Sh stumbled and fell back so she was sitting. The frame of glass like fire she had, lost it's solid state, igniting and disappearing as she let out a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but smile triumphantly, though it looked pretty tired.
((pretty sure this is my longest post to date))

Ravyn would sigh and roll her eyes, this guy she admired so much, was a real idiot perhaps that was the reason....That had to be it! "I told you Ishado, he isn't a goat he's a tiger, as for me making up with him.
Not a chance, what he said really hurt" She'd look to Singe as he talked and then back to the flame before it parted back down to Nimm, fire had a solid form? She was both amazed and confused by this.
She'd chuckle watching Ishado try solidify the fire and placed a hand on his shoulder. "You'll get Ishie, keep trying!" She'd smiled and looked to the sky, a distant roar was heard and she knew Moon was trying to find her....Stupid cat.

He'd watch Nimm rise from the hole and scoff a bit, expecting her to have to force herself out like a jet engine. Though it was rather undramatic, at least in his eyes, he was glad that she'd passed his little test and managed to live. Again, he'd let the scythe drop against his shoulder and slowly applaud her.
"It'd of been a damn shame for the only being I know to ever crystallize fire to up and die on me. Besides, it looks like we need you now, and that power of your may just be a gift from someone shinning down on you rather than smiling up, but whatever." He'd slowly get to his feet and in doing do force the scythe back in to the staff he could carry on his back.
"Ishado, his her with a painful dose of the good stuff. Make sure it wouln't be anything her body can't adjust to, though, or I'll fill that hole with your blood and the blood of your little girlfriend there." He'd shoot another glare to his old partner and more or less brother, then form a fireball in his hand that'd soon engulf it, though his flame burned black with a white core rather than blue. He'd smirk and raise his hand in to the air, forcing a pillar of the flame to rise up under Nimm. It'd die down after a bit, but not without her forcing it to via absorbtion.
"The dog and I are giving you our power as well. Though the dog can use all fire arts as if he'd been using them since birth, the dark fire that stirs within me still outweighs his...but I think it goes without saying the opposite flows through him far more so than me. Absorb out fire, let it mix with you as a being, and become the greatest demoness to ever walk this planet!"
"...Sa' it's a cat! Well, tha does make a wee bi' more sense...though, I'd take a goat over a ca' any day! I'd rather have the unlimited milk, not somethin' at'd steal ma' milk! Bu', if ya two are fightin', I assume it's over this whole situation...ought'a let em' know at once upon a time, a' hunted his kine' jus 'fer the fun a' killin' such a prideful creatuere."
He'd smirk, then look to Singe. He was ready to make another foul remark, but that glare shot daggers in to his heart. It was like...he was becoming someone, someone like Kain, but not Kain. Sure, Kain was the dominant type to give commands, and he had a sadistic streak, but what he now sensed from Singe was...terrible, a foul energy like that of an honest to God devil, not just a mere demon. All of the sudden...he became serious and looked to Nimm, though he spoke to this thing created as his brother.
"Y'know Khar---my apologies; tha' part of ya died with yer escape from ma' brother. Singe: You're really becomin' yer own person...and it's good ta see. I'm honestly glad you've turned in ta yet another brother a' mine. Still, yer becomin' like him...be careful, eh?" He'd look to his official brother with a smile, though he knew it was lost, thus the smile faded...he felt terrible for Nimm and what she may have got herself in to.
Nonetheless, he'd do as instructed. The flame about Ishado's hand would give a golden flare though with a white core as well. Again, his arm would rise and the pillar would engulf the poor girl, though given his control and overall empathy, he more or less helped the flame work in to her system, and not just his own, but Singe's flame as well.
"Singe...ya named yerself, right? Of all tha name out there, even tha ones of the Romanian origin ya chose...why that one? Singe...Blood...are ya so much like he ya came from; do ya really cherish it so much?"
"Your name, Ishado, is no more than Japanese for Stone. It hardly suits you, thus I suppose your parents thought the irony was befitting their second born. Then they just tossed Hiro a flat out Japanese name to try and hide his lineage...names mean little. Nimue, is this not correct? Names are merely titles to catch one's attention, but I also see them as titles, and titles ought to MEAN something. Nimm's name only leads me to further see her as a beautiful young lady, and my name is a symbol of what I am, and so long as I go by it I will never forget what I am! You? You're nothing like a stone...I believe humans have a label for you; Attention Deficit Disorder...though I think you have it in High-Definition."
He'd look to his brother with a bit of a smirk, signaling the joke. He'd then look to Ravyn', then to Nimm. He wasn't sure what was going to happen from here, but he knew Kain was getting ready to slither his way back in to the world and cause problems for them all...still, he didn't want to just tell them to sit back, wait and twiddle their thumbs while hoping for the best as he and Ishado battled the b*****d.
"Ravyn'...forever remain long range. I'll construct, or rather build upon your bow for you for maximum proficiency. I'll also construct a few arrow for you that you ought to find use in, and they're easy to duplicate." He'd then vanish and appear behind Nimm, resting his hands on her shoulders, feeding her energy and even his own back in to her. "And you...I believe that if any of us could stand against him, it'd be you. I want you to train with Ishado; Kain's bound to show you fires you've never dreamt of. Of all of us Nimm, you posses the most potential...but at the same time, I care for you the most. Never forget my promise; I will die if need be so long as you may live. Your first gift is to curse others, Nimm...but I believe with your fire, you can heal them as well. I believe that you can more or less alter the destiny and fate of any individual as you see fit...if there was ever one on Kain's Godly level, it'd be you. Just remember." He'd then close his eyes and smirk. "You're pretty easy on the eyes as well, and such beauty should never go to waste."
[]†[] Criss Angel's "Mindfreak" is awesome inspiration for Singe...I could of done so much more if I didn't want to do EVERYTHING in one post. I want to thank both of you ladies for helping me develop a character I've been struggling to develop for more than a decade. And yes, I do magic, perform illusions and read minds. Ask Brandi. []†[]

Nimm moved and got to her feet again, her legs feeling like jello reinforced with toothpicks rather than muscle and bone. "Hope that feelings a one time thing..." she muttered. Looking up as Singe commented on her not dieing, she smirked. "Please tell me you didn't actually I wouldn't of found some way out of there?" she joked.
Her smile faded as Singe's flame shot up around her. She felt her muscle's tense and then proceed to burn, though it took a minute to realize it was more then just her muscles that burned, and then another minute to realize it wasn't just Singe's flame, but Ishado's too. She felt it work it's way into her, and briefly she realized it wasn't just on her own that it did so. 'Reminder to thank Ishado later...'
The pillar vanished, and Nimm had to take a moment to find her bearings and keep her feet under her. She felt that burning sensation fade,leaving her feeling cold all of a sudden. She shivered involuntarily from it and listened to Singe's explanation about names. She felt her cheeks heat up as he mentioned what he thought of her name, and this time it wasn't because of fire or energy or anything else of that matter.
She couldn't help but raise a brow as he spoke to Rayvn, for once not sounding annoyed by her or anything. She smiled at that a little, at least they weren't fighting. Next she knew, he was behind her and that jello feeling was leaving her legs. She titled her head back to see him as he spoke, a bit surprised that he thought that much of her. After a moment she smiled. "Yeah, no pressure there." she joked.

At the mention of Moon being a goat, Ravyn' smirked and nodded her head. "Aye, I guess that would make sense Ishado, " She said this while laughing, though her laugh died down once she heard Singe speak, he told Ishado to give her a dose of his flame power. Ravyn would nod her head, for once she wasn't going to be a overprotective friend, the elf knew Nimm had more potential then anyone she knew, and if she was the one that was going to take down Kain then so be it.
Her eyes remained on Singe as he explained about names, Singe meant 'Blood" Nimue well, her name was indeed a beautiful one, Ravyn was given her name due to her grandmother, and having the lycan traits of her. She smiled again, as her ears flickered backwards, dark orchids would find Singe's red orbs as he spoke to her, she would nod her head. "Aye, long range has always been my specialty, shall I distract him while you and Ishado start off, and then have Nimm finish?" She'd hear that roar again as Moon would bound into the clearing, he bent his head low and Ravyn let out rather feral growl, her pupils would change shape for a few minutes before going to back to it's almond-like shape.
The massive cat would lay down, as she didn't speak instead acted as a pet, would laying by Ravyn's side she smiled. "Than you Singe, for constructing a new weapon" She'd look to Ishado and smile, her eyes danced with a purple flame, as she looked back to Nimm, so very happy for her.
[]x[] Haha, it's true! the fact that I am going to be married to someone with so much potential that my fiancee has, gives me chills. []x[]

"The plan will be somewhat similar to what you suggest, Ravyn. Ishado will do what he does back and take the front lines for himself, both taking and delivering a great deal of the heat. You'll act as his personal support, which is where a few of my more blessed arrows will come in handy. Nimm will strike when she can, no doubt dealing far more damage than she thinks herself capable, and I'll see it upon myself to defend her as I promised long ago. Of course there are other factor's we can't see, but this should be our initial plan. We'll adapt as we proceed."
He'd look out in the direction of the castle, not quite sure if Kain would move quickly back to his castle or if he had other plans. Either way, he figured taking the fight to the bridge was the best idea, given it'd limit everyone a bit, including Kain. Sure, those with flight would only benefit, but it wasn't like he hadn't learned spells to allow others to move about the air freely.
"One night. We're only going to rest for a single night before I move us to the bridge. I suggest all of you use whatever energy you have remaining to train yourselves. ...Actually, Ishado I want you to scout for me. No God could even match your speed, so checking on the castle should be a breeze for you. Ravyn, trail after him and look after the minor details he may miss."
He'd then smirk and place his hand on Nimm's shoulder. "I'll personally see to it you're ready for this fight, both mentally and physically. You're useless unless you know how to use Ishado and I's gifts, much less your own. Ravyn, your tools will be ready upon your return."
Ishado, as Singe had begun talking, had locked on to Micah's signature. He still blamed the wannabe-hero for his brother's actions and fully intended on getting his revenge. He'd still take in Singe's words, though at the mention of scouting the castle, his neck would swiftly carry him to view the self-proclaimed general.
"Fine, a'll start ma job right now! Do what ya want n' a'll be back n' plenty a time ta deliver a report, dun you worry." With that, his legs would remove him from the scene in a stream of fire through the sky.

Nimm listened intently, committing the plan to memory. She still thought that Singe placed too much stock in what she could do, but she didn't say anything about it for now. She looked up at him once more as he spoke to her and nodded happily. "Sounds good." she replied enthusiastically.
She turned her attention to Ishado as he mentioned coming back with a report, and then took off. She was a bit surprised by how fast he could actually go.

Upon hearing this, Ravyn was up and nodded her head in thanks, Moon would rise from his spot, and as soon as as she would land on the back of the beast's back, armor would slither up around his paws, his chest, and his head. His tail would sport spikes, and his eyes would glow an electric blue. Ravyn' would be wearing her crimson armor as well, that tattered cape flowed behind her as she raced off to catch up with Ishado.
Okay, this is it, I can do this. Singe is creating a new weapon and arrows, now all I have to do is accompany Ishado. Thoughts raced through her mind as she headed back to the castle.

He'd activate his cursed eye and look to the castle, forcing his way through the trees and such until he'd lock on to the individual standing at the gate of the castle, and watch as Ishado, who'd managed to beat the speed of his cursed eye, made his way for this fiery individual. He'd grin, knowing that Ishado hadn't had enough time to make too many enemies on this planet yet, thus meaning it could only be someone tied to the incident with Kain.
"Someone's beat Ishado there...no doubt he could smell them from here. Even if he weren't a mutt at heart I think Ishado would still be the best Tracker out there. Anyways...he's not my problem now, nor is Ravyn. They've both been given their tasks, and now you Nimm, need yours."
He'd make sure the staff was strapped to his back and crack his knuckles, then look to Nimm with a grin. he was so anxious to see how much fun he could have with her. Once he'd finish popping his neck, he'd calmly place his hands in the pockets of his trench, then close his eyes and make sure to speak in a very calm, inviting tone.
"The only way you're going to learn is through practice and experience. So, I'm going to make sure you know what you're doing my own damned self. You've twenty seconds to pull yourself together and make the first attack...if you stall for any longer, I'll come at you with everything I have, and if you die, you can burn in Hell knowing you didn't give life your all."

Nimm could only blink at what he had told her, she quickly straitened and backed away a few feet. "How the hell am I suppose to attack you?" Wasn't she suppose to train with Ishado, that would of been easier then throwing attacks at Singe. Her fingers brushed against the still solid flame in her pocket. Something clicked into place in her mind as she pulled it out and gripped it tightly. It lengthened in her hand till it was sharp on both sides, but thin and light like a simple sword.

He'd of had Ishado do this, but it was obvious the b*****d not only had other things he wanted to do, but HAD to do. He didn't know exactly who that individual was, but he knew that if he had the combination of such a power output and Ishado's undivided attention, then he'd have to do his own dirty work. He'd watch as she now manipulated the crystallized item and quirk a brow, deeply intrigued by this new development. It'd force a smirk upon his lips and a small chuckle to bellow from him, but he'd quickly shake it off. Natural instinct told him to go for his staff and convert it, but he knew Kain would toy with her before ever actually getting serious...he had to do now exactly what he'd always run from: Be Kain's doppelganger.
"The tricks are neat, but they're useless if you don't know how to use them. I could give the best weapon in the world to a monkey, and it'd turn to s**t in it's hands. Hopefully you're aware of what's in your hands and understand it...if you're too scared to come at me, then I'll end this all right now and save you any potential pain in the future."
A sick grin would form of his pale lips while his pupils would dilate, a sign he wasn't throwing empty threats at her. He truly had found the deposit in his mind of Kain's personality and taken it on as his own. He'd remove his right hand from his pocket and slowly begin to summon a small black orb with an obvious trail of electrified negative energy flowing about it.

Nimm focused on Singe a moment, taking in the look he gave her. 'I'm so screwed...need to think of a way around this.' She glanced at teh makeshift sword in her hand. She took into account that it was a reflexive reaction that changed it's shape.
It was a simple thing, no guard, just a handle and a blade that didn't seem all that strong. 'Swords are meant for close combat...' she looked back up at Singe as he started to pull negative energy together into a ball. 'Long distance would be better....' She caught on a bit that it wasn't Singe she was fighting, at least not in mind set anyway.
The sword went slack in her hand, the handle remaining as the rest seemed to lose all solidarity. However it did stay together, and flecks of the glass like fire glinted from the heat of the flame the comprised the rest of the whip. "This would be a lot more effective if I knew even teh first thing about fighting."

As the sphere in his hand would form to look like a supernova, brilliant and dazzling colors included, he'd chuckle a bit and slowly rise from the ground, floating only an inch from any flat surface.
"Fighting's easy! You find an opponent, you analyze them, and then you beat them down however much you like in whatever fashion you like! More than half of it really just comes down to instinct, while the rest is all about tact and power! You've got everything you need, but I can't simply implant how to execute them fruitfully in your mind!"
He'd look the whip and arch a brow...not a bad idea, but a whip was more or less mid-range, not quite long range. Even so, there was no guarantee he wasn't going to simply appear before her or even behind her in an instant, making it rather close range. He'd slowly, very slowly, begin to move towards her, the energy in his hand still gathering up to do something or other.

Nimm kept her eyes on the ball of energy he was forming. More so when he started to move forward. Her grip on the weapon in her hand tightened slightly, still not sure what to do or when to attack with it. She sort of knew that attacking blindly wasn't the best of ideas, nor was making the first move when you knew full well the opponent could easily counter it.
The fact that he was moving closer had her on guard more so then before. she backed up a couple of steps then stopped, her fingers on her open hand flexing beneath the long sleeve of her coat. She took notice that the energy from before was pulsing through her again, and she wasn't even focusing this time to make it do so. She continued to keep her eyes on Singe and after a moment a flare up of her own flame grew rather quickly beneath him, high enough to reach his knees, then solidified.
