Walking A New Path

[Nox]

Nox watched as Ivan played with the weaves refining and organizing them to suit his purpose. "Fire and earth, seem to be stronger in men. Aurora felt more ease with air and water. But Aurora could also heal. But from the other's I've taught, we all have our proficiencies. Cruz is much more adept with spirit, Aiden as much as it's annoying he's adept with fire if he could ever get his libido in check." Nox smirked, though Aiden was getting better. "Try something else first if this is not quite so easy."

Nox wove a complex array of all the elements that Ivan had seen before. Nox had done them in front of him when they last meet. He wondered if Ivan had paid any attention then. "Complexity comes with varying degrees of them, all of it needed to be right in order to not hurt yourself or others." Nox smiled as he split his flow and created an identical ones. "Power and finesse are good, but being able to do it all while taking a beating, that takes a lot of practice."Nox was sweating, this was the first time he'd done two flash bangs and held them at the same time. "But there are limits to all our power." Nox tried to divide the flow a third time, but they collapsed in on them selves. "No amount of practice can take you past your innate abilities. I can divide three times for simple weaves, but something this complex I can barely do two and not for long." Nox dropped the power and there was a rush of his own breath coming out of his body. The imagined pain was real to him, despite the knowledge he knew the power did nothing more than before. His own body playing tricks on him. "I'm sure you know not to draw too much, it feels like it's burning. You'll know when if you haven't done it yet, but you'll know. It's a pain you'll never want to feel again no matter how tempting the power might be." And there in lied the rub, Nox felt that ways now - always. Fucking Ijiraq!
