Kieve vs. Cadence
Kieve smiles and sets his bag down taking out a worn book and a belt of pouches from it, he slings the belt over one shoulder and reaches into one of the larger pouches taking out a hand full of what looks to be chalk and makes a circle on the ground with it around him. He then takes out four stones and sets them around him one in each of the four directions. He whispers a few quick words and the four stones rise up and begin to float about his head. He holds one hand out and a small brownish-red pseudo-dragon lands lightly. He looks deeply into its eyes as if giving it directions, It squawks once before launching off of his hand and into the air rising to a spot above him his wings spreading wide as it seams to start to take a deep breath a releases a cone of fire about 15 feet long and 10 feet wide at you threatening to burn all that it touches....
Cadence echoes the dragons squawk, but the sound emerging from his mouth is much higher pitched and rather terrified. Memories of a dragon shaped Blackfyre fill his mind and he pulls out his nifty difty magical, purple crayon. This time he draws the cage around himself and Altarial. Very quickly they shrink into barely visible little peoples. Moving out of the line of fire, without being noticed, Cad sets Altarial over near Karaoke. He quickly pulls two itsy bitsy sticks out of his itsy bitsy messy purple hair and begins to beat them together. Each bar of the cage separates from the other bars and grows to an immense size. As they bend and turn you realize they have turned into various forms of venomous snakes. All the while, Cadence whistles a snake charming tune from somewhere behind his opponent. Some of the overgrown snakes wrap themselves around the dragons neck and eyes and other sorts of annoying places, the rest of them seek out Kieve. Suddenly the music stops and you sense that these snakes are no longer charmed, but more like intent on striking you dead.
Kieve starts to whisper to himself as he feels his familiar rise higher out of reach of the snakes, as he raises a hand his book open to a page filled with arcane writing. He watchers as the snakes come closer his eyes glazing over a bit as he starts to speak in dragonic the air filling with the words of magic. He raises his free hand to one of the pouches and takes out a hand full of powder, a sand it seams and spreads on the winds as it touches the snakes the seam to vanish and disappear going back to where they came from. He then reaches into another pouch and takes out two small silver balls and throws them forward out of the circle of chalk around his feet as the hit the ground the start to grow and shift taking on the shape of two very large dogs, as they move forwards the seam to disappear then reappear in another place. Then again, disappearing then reappearing this time closer to you the hair on the backs of there necks rising as the start to growl and then they seam to blink again, this time appearing even closer to you threatening to take you down or worse......
Cadence quickly makes sure Altarial isn't in a place that would be a likely next place for these canines to reappear. Then he scampers over to where they last appeared, hoping they won’t know where he moves. Pondering he snaps the sticks together and poofs up to his normal Cadencial size...Altarial also growing back to her normal size at the same time. Pulling one twig out of his hair he looks at it carefully for a minute to make sure it is hollow inside. Once he is sure he takes a deep breath and continues to blow on it. Acting like a dog whistle, the noise he produces keeps him quite safe from Kieve's doggies....it also threatens to burst Kieve's eardrums in the process.
Kieve lets out a yelp as he hears the sound, He banishes the blink dogs as he did the snakes, turning them back into small silver balls. He grits his teeth and tosses out a stone, as he whimpers threw gritted teeth and it begins to change shape, tuning into a sleek cat looking thing with a shaggy golden main. The creature winces one as he hears the sound of the whistle and then lets out a scream of its own drowning out the sound of the whistle and seaming to have a force beyond sound, a force that seam to push on your chest as of the sound was trying to crush you....
Cadence takes the whistle from his mouth and snaps it in half. Dead silence fills the air. The sound of rushing water has disappeared, and the wind in the trees makes no noise. Pulling two more twigs out of his messy purple hair, Cadence flips them upside down and starts beating them to the sound of a pulse. Unlike his classic attack, this time Kiev’s heart (in whatever form it happens to be) does not change its beat...but the blood flowing through his veins reverses. It's not very pleasant when blood flows one way, and the heart pumps it another. If something isn't done rather soon, the heart will get blocked up and explode into itsy bitsy teeny weenie pieces.
Kieve winces then begins to whisper another spell, his last if he is not quick, and whispers a single word, "Silence" and all noise stops around him even the beating of your sticks stops the spell being released on his chest, this blood returning to his normal flow as he slumps down in his circle his familiar drooping down from the sky and nuzzling his master making sure he is alright....
