David vs Hadrian Lava Bending

Alina was really confused after going to little Palance she was quickly taken through a Door way and next thing she find out that,they were not in Little Palace anymore.But in the outskirts of Ravka,it was confusing.But Genya explained to her about the Doorway it was able to transport people from one location to another as long another Door way was created in that location.

The more Genya explained about everything in Peverell City,the more amazed Alina was and she was guided to her new bedroom to the rest.It was shocking,when she explained everything was created by Hadrian.

After a very restless night,Alina woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep.She basically forgotten to close the curtains when she went to bed, and sunlight was streaming through the windows.Alina even thought about getting up to close them and trying to go back to sleep, but she just didn't have the energy.She wasn't sure if it was worry and fear that had kept her tossing and turning, or the unfamiliar luxury of sleeping in a real bed after so many months spent on wobbly canvas cots or with nothing but a bedroll between me and the hard ground.

As she got up and got ready wearing her Kefta,and when she got put,two girls in Summoners' robes swooped down on them.

That was Marie,she was a pale skin girl with brown hair and brown eyes and next to her was

a girl with dark skin, black braided hair, and brointrodu.Marie with excitement said"Alina! We weren't properly introduced yesterday. I'm Marie, and this is Nadia." she gestured to the dark skinned girl beside her, who smiled toothily at me. Marie looped her arm through Alina,while she smiled continued"We are here to give her tour as Lord and General Kirigan ordered"

Alina was first guided to the hallway to eat breakfast and then to the Combat training.

The training rooms were next to the stables—large, empty, high-beamed rooms with packed dirt floors and weapons of every variety lining the walls.The instructor was none other than Botkin Yul-Erdene, wasn't Grisha; he was a former Shu Han mercenary who had fought in wars on every continent for any army that could afford his particular gift for violence. He had straggly gray hair and a gruesome scar across his neck where someone had tried to cut his throat. I spent the next two hours cursing that person for not doing a more thorough job. Botkin started with endurance drills, racing us across the palace grounds.Alina did my best to keep up, but she still was put of breath.

Nadia and Marie gave her water,as Alina quickly gulped all of it.Marie sighed and said"You are really now ready for this."

Alina couldn't help,but agree with to that.While someone came to Marie and whispered something in ear.Which caused Marie to be excited as she dragged Alina of causing her to be confused and asked "Where are we going?"

Marie with excitement said"To see Lord Hadrian fight."

David stomps his foot on the ground forcing multiple ruts and protrusions of rock out of the ground shooting at straight line at Hadrian direction,but Hadrian with just simple palm strike was able to turn the column of rocks into lava and splash it in David's direction.

Alina with shock asked"Is that molten lava?"

Marie nodded,while Genya answered her"Yes,only Earth Benders are able to bend lava,but only a small percentage is even able unlock the special ability.While Hadrian is a special case."

David quickly jumps away and looks back at his mentor with full seriousness.Hadrian draws the lava from a source he just created lava pool and sends entire streams straight out of the earth at David, who quickly creates walls of earth blocking it.

Genya sighed and muttered"David can't beat him! It's like he is just giving Hadrian more ammo!"

Alina with slight worry asked" Isn't this too much,I mean he almost killed him."

Genya heard from Zoya,how naive Alina was as she sighed and replied" I understand where you are coming form,but the world outside will kill us without a second thought.So we need to train to the full extent of our abilities and Hadrian is trying to pull David's full potential."

Alina flinched at slight glare from Genya,who was nice to her till now.But then she saw her eyes soften as Genya added"Grisha have to up there abilities as the world around us is evolving as you probably heard guns and canons are getting better and better with time.So we must get better too."

Alina slowly understanding the situation hesitantly nodded,while in the arena Hadrian wasn't done,with clap of his hand he manipulated fireball-shaped blobs of lava and launched it at David.

Who dove away avoiding them,it was close.But they soon stopped with that as David surrendered.
