Practice

[Kaden]

Slowly, his shivering calmed as his body was warmed. He started coughing again, this time without blood. The coughs were dry, though, and soon became hacking coughs. When the coughing stopped, his throat hurt...and he finally blinked consciously.

Gingerly running his hand over the spot where the spear had pierced him, he was surprised to find that the hole was gone. He looked up at Kiya. "Ugh...Why don't we wait a while before we try the spear again?" He suggested, with a weak grin on his face. He was still in some pain.

[Kiya]

Kiya returned the weak smile, wiping the falling tears from her face. "I`m so sorry" she trembled, "I should have listened to you...." shaking her head her gaze moved to his stomach, she had actually managed to heal it?.

[Kaden]

Kaden sat up, noticing her gaze at his stomach. He laughed a bit. "Did the hole really look that bad?" He jokingly asked. "Well, thank you anyway."

[Kiya]

"Thankyou? I impaled you Kaden!" she dropped her head in her hands to push the memory from her mind.

[Kaden]

He slowly stood up, groaning at the stress he was putting his recently-injured body through. "Yeah, that's true...But it's in the past now. I try not to dwell on the past. Besides, you lost control of the spear, so it's not like you shot me on purpose, right?"

[Kiya]

Kiya nodded, reaching out to help Kaden stand, "you should prbably rest"

[Kaden]

Kaden shook his head. "I've still got my deal to live up to. I still have to teach you a spell, remember? We just have to try a different one."

[Kiya]

"Kaden.... you dont have to.... I mean you can barely stand" she bit her lip in thought, "maybe I should get you home"

[Kaden]

"No, no, I'm....I'll be okay." He answered, then sighed. "Don't worry about me, I'm tougher than I may look. Now, honestly and without worryng about me, do you want to continue?" He asked her.

[Kiya]

Kiya pushed the sight of Kadens impaling form her mind with more force. If she was going to defeat Cassandria she needed to do this. "If you`re up for it, I am"

[Kaden]

"Good." He said simply, standing up again. "I thought of a useful, simple spell for you to learn. It's called the ice decoy. You wanna try that one?"

[Kiya]

Nodding Kiya stood back from Kaden, leaving him to stand alone. "Just be careful, ok. I dont doubt youre strong but youve lost a lot of blood..."

[Kaden]

He looked over at the wall he had been stuck to. A large bloodstain adorned the wooden planks that made up the wall. "Yeah....I can see that. But, trust me....I'm fine." He said.

"Now, this one is definitely one of the simplest ice spells to perform. It's so easy because what it does is create an ice image of yourself: So all you have to imagine is your own body in whatever pose you want the decoy to be in. In your case, you'd say Icil Gangel and just start visualizing."

[Kiya]

"Icil Gangel" Kiya repeated aloud, setting the words in her mind. "And i can make an ince version of myself?! wow" she whistled

[Kaden]

"Yep. That's it. And when you get REALLY good with it, you can....Well, watch this." He said to her, with a grin on his face. He closed his eyes for a moment, and mouthed the words. In seconds, there was a tap on Kiya's right shoulder. Kaden still stood in front of her.

Behind her was an ice clone of Kaden. It waved at her, then disappeared. "You can even make them able to move."
