Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pent nodded and hissed a word in his ehad, turnign the entire shield into a bucnh of purple bubbles. he shooed them away. an air and water combination. always useful in need of a quick escape. "i wasn;t trying to put those runes there. i don;t know why they were forming."

Aiko had watched in silence, curiouse as to what would happen but prepared to stop it.

Ivy sighed when he mensioned battle. She often tryed not to think about why they where learning all this. "Well I know one thing this means I going to you if I ever have problems with something." She said as a light joke.

"sorry, sir." Pent sighed, grinning at the girl. even if he was older, he enjoyed a good sense of humor. "yes, i'll teach you how to make pretty bubbles soemtime."

he drew the X again and poured his aura into it, wathcing as it shifted more quickly to a rch purple color, spikes trailign otu and formign a shield. the runes strated again but not as quickly, and not as many. he found it rather bothersome but kept his thoughts away from them.

(xD i know. but he still has resepct for everyone.)
"yessir," he grinned. "i'm trying, my conscious [it;s the right spelling here ^-^] mind and subconscious mind ar esort of er...linked, though. that's the problem. it was a habit i picked up after i got infected. one has to be aware of what one is thinking on both levels if one wishes to know what he beast in him is thinking."

he pulled his hands back without thinking, the sheild following his fingers, the sides archign aroudn him, stretchign the thin purple shield over. it shimmed brifly and then grew solid.

Pent blinked, looking at it. "whoops." he didn;t mean to make it quite so big.

Pent nodded, then slowly cut the link, drawing the power back like he had done with elemental spells.

he cried out, ody convulsing as the spell dissipated, the pruple shield turnign to liquid and pooling to the ground. he grimaced, hand to hsi head.

withdrawing black magic. he shoudl have known better. not a smart idea...

"sorry, I didn't expect that. I'm used to calling my elemental magic back. dumb force of habit." he frowned, starign at the ground. "lemme at least clean this up."

he held his hand out and swpet it downward, the purple pooling into a small ball. he whipped his hand into a circle, concentrating on the dark magic. he pulled one of the books from his belt out and opened ii, drawing his finger from the magic to the page.

the purple liquid pulled into the small book and he clipped it closed, hanging it back around his waist. "i apologize that you had to take the black magic from me. i'll try not to do that agian..." he smiled apollegetically.

he nodded. "corruption from another sourse its the last thing i need," he sighed, scratching his head, his logn white hair drapping over his shoulders as he did so.
