"Aoac!? Aoac!?" Enteriol heard, striking him dumb before he could answer Katta. Memory surged forward, bringing him back to before his body had been destroyed....
*Two young men face eachother, Enteriol in black robes and another in white, in a musty stone building. "Aoac!" Enteriol's voice rang out, clear, sinister, full of rage and energy. "Cendariel fell before my might and come the burning hells or the raging floods you shall fall as well if you block my path to her staff! Stand aside or I swear upon our mother's grave I shall make certain you never stand before me again!"
"You will NOT get the staff you seek, my brother! Not this day, not ever. You have taken from me the one I loved in search of this staff, and only through my dead body shall you get that which my wife labored to create!"
"So be it." Replied Enteriol, pointing both his hands at his brother. "Relá-" but even as he started to cast the spell, his brother cut him off with a large stone to the head. As Enteriol tried to regain his footing, he heard words that chilled him to the very core of his being. "Aniquile Mort Ardor!" rang out in a clarion voice, Enteriol did his best to throw up a shield, but it wasn't enough. His body was wrapped in a bright white flame, arcing with red lightning while freezing his lungs.
His brother maintained the spell, sweating with concentration. With every fibre of his being, Enteriol lashed out for his life with a spell. "Relámpago!" he gasped, aiming his hand at his own brother. Magic poured through his body, arcing out in a bolt of white death that destroyed the stones around them as it soared through the air. The flames around enteriol dimmed, the red lightning faltered, his lungs no longer froze as the mana was drained from his brother's spell and sent back at him.
A thundering boom from the depths sounded for miles when his brother was struck with the hellish white lightning. Enteriol fell to the ground, pain taking over, his body blackened, shriveled. He lay upon the hard stone floor for long minutes, finally forcing himself to work through the pain. Enteriol stood, slowly, and hobbled towards his brother, who lay burned, twitching, and hardly breathing.*
Enteriol stood slowly, staff in hand, and took a few hobbling steps towards Katta and Lota.
*"It ends now, brother, once and for all" Enteriol gasped out, though his lungs were full enough of liquid to make it painful to breathe, let alone talk. Trying to cough it out failed miserably, only making the pain worse.*
"It ends now, brother." Enteriol said quietly, trying to stifle a cough"
*Concentrating, enteriol encanted "Relámpago!" aiming once again at his brother.*
"Relámpago!" enteriol canted, aiming at the scene before him. The arc of lightning soared out from his hand, larger and hotter than it had been when facing his brother, amplified as it was from his brother's wife's staff. The hellish white arc filled the air with ozone smell as it passed close enough to Katta to set her hair on fire. The bolt streaked from there straight towards Lota.
