Wanting to beat Midnight to the punch Walker focused on condensing so shadows even more, this ti he was going to try and use the flas to send only the pure fire elental mana to the shadows. This seed to be working a little at first. The fla elental mana was heating up the shadows so much that Walked felt the at the shadows could actually burn him if he were to touch them. The problem was that the second he tried to change the shadows and fire elent mix shape it split apart again in to two separate elents again losing any semblance of fusion.
Taking another shot at it he repeated the process but this ti thought that he would let a little light elent rotate around the shape of the fla he wanted to make. If it was really so much so that the light and dark elental mana chased each other would it work that the light elental mana would help to hold the darkness and fire together? This was what he asked himself while the shadows started to mix with the fire. The two mana had reached the sa hot shadows and before but not so of the light elental mana from the fire was being pulled in a thin mbrane around the ball shape Walker wanted.
The shape was holding up so far the heat was still there. The light elent was not being completely sniffed out by the dark. The fire elental mana was not being dragged by the light elent in to the ball of shadow more and more. Just as Walker thought there would be a breakthrough and the darkness elental mana would beco flas the light elental mana was pushed away by the darkness elental mana. The two had beco out of balance and caused the ball to fall apart.
Walker took a second to breath and found that Midnight was almost in a ditative state birthing in and out very slowly. It looked as if she was practicing using the mana within her breath. She had given up on mixing it with flas for now since she realized that she had no control over the strength of the mana she released. Walker could tell that she was taking great effort to slow the flow when she built the mana up. It took her entire body's strength to make the mana flow the way she desired it to.
Not wanting to be outdone in terms of effort Walker tried his experint again. This ti he acted more carefully like Midnight was doing with her mana. He was consuming more of his own mana to manipulate the three elents this ti by taking longer. However when he got to the stage where he had the light elental mana flowing around the heated shadow ball everything was more stable. The heat was being drawn in by the light elental mana but at a slower rate. The balance was in check and the shadows were heating up to higher and higher temperatures. The feeling of being burned as coming stronger and stronger to his exposed skin.
With a burst of fla the ball had turned in to a pitch black fire. He had succeeded in controlling the three elental manas to create a black fireball in his hand. The fire elental mana was the joining factor between the light and dark mana. The light mana was mixed in with every lick of fla making the darkness mana stand out. The two were dancing with each other in a perfect balance, when one elent would push the other would push back.
' The user had gained a triple elental skill due to their use of the elental manipulation skill. The skill black fla creation has been learned.
Black fla creation- 2 mana cost
Black flas are a fusion of three elents. They are very hard to extinguish in the night and in the daylight. They not only can purify the darkness but also corrupt the light. Burns left by these black flas do not only cause damage to the opponent but will also leave a longer term decaying effect.'
This was what he was after, he had succeeded in blending the three elents together to create his skill. This black fla was not to be ssed with, it was similar to his other fla skill evil consuming fla. This black fla could purify darkness as well but in a different way. The difference was it could also harm light elents as well by using the darkness elent it was made in to. The fact that the burns would leave a decaying effect was very scary to think about, if an enemy escaped after being hard by these flas they would slowly have their injury decay way until their death. This was both good and bad, it could irritate and anger a strong opponent that could handle the first attack. On the reverse it could also help deal with opponents that ran away after being hard, with Gil tracking them they could find the opponent and collect the defeated body or finish it off.
Midnight had stopped her controlled breathing as was staring at the flas in Walkers grasp, she was not moving a single muscle. Walker almost said sothing but realized she was having so kind of breakthrough of her own. Midnight stayed like this for a few minutes before cautiously stepping towards the flas in his hands. She hesitantly brought her face close to them and breathed out very slowly. The mana she breathed out reacted instantly causing a s,all fla to wish out. This was the start of her own goal.
Walker did not dare to extinguish the fla but instead started to work on keeping control of it while using the least amount of mana possible. He started to develop more and more control while Midnight slowly breathed in and out practicing the soft woosh of black flas again and again. Neither of them noticed the wandering blacksmith that had leaned up against the wall of the mansion to watch this spectacle.
The two of them maintained this for a large amount of ti, Midnight had started to release more and more mana at once making the small woosh turn in to a foot long black fire blaze. The fire Walker had started previously and had completely turned black with their control. Midnight took a larger breath inwards preparing to release more of her own mana than she had done before. Walker swore he saw so for the black flas be inhaled when she was breathing in. To test his theory he extinguished his black flas before Midnight could stop herself.
Midnight breathed out with force, there were not wisps of darkness mana but instead full on black flas. The were very spread out but were indeed what she wanted to do. Midnight jumped around seeing her success and tackled Walker to his back. The two rolled on the ground in excitent before waves of exhaustion started to overco them. They had been at this for hours practicing.
The two were breathing heavily feeling rather pleased with the work the had put in, the sun had risen and started to fall all the while. The sound of clapping brought them both back to a sitting up potion. The wandering blacksmith was smiling widely still covered in coal dust but seemingly more energetic than he had been the precious day. He ca over to the two of them and patted Walker and Midnight in the back. They realized that he had just witnessed their accomplishnt.
Walker felt a bit embarrassed but Midnight straightened her necks a nit glad that she was being recognized for her efforts. The wandering blacksmith gave them both a nid and headed back towards the forge, after a little ti the sounds of hamring could be heard. No smoke was leaving the smoke stack from the forge leading Walker to believe that the wandering blacksmith and started to make so modifications after witnessing the kinds of flas he would be forging in. They had really found a strange blacksmith to help them out, but he was extrely dedicated.
Now that the two had gotten an understanding of their skills Walker took a look at Midnight's learned skill,
' Decaying fla breath- 5 mana cost (Changes with duration)
The blacks flas expelled through the natural flas within carry a strong decay that eats away at the body of those damaged but it. The user can extend the duration of this breath attack by taking a deeper breath and infusing larger amounts of mana. The flas can burn hot enough to leave severe burns.'
Reading this out loud Walker had spurred Midnight to stand up and prance about in victory, she was waiting for Walker to praise her. " Congratulations on getting your fire breath skill! Now we can practice the next few days before the VIP auctions and master it." This made Midnight more excited since she was one step closer to being the powerful dragon like she had t at the tars guild.
