Blessings of Air (part one)

"You okay?" Rhy's dark eyes were filled with concern. The Air Palace Champion looked thoroughly discombobulated.

Nix gave her a disgusted look but didn't comment. 'This will be easy,' she said. He spent the better part of two hours being buffeted by gale-force winds. Black feathers had sprouted out all over his body and stayed like that long enough to scare the crap out of him. Finally, they were absorbed directly into his skin in what could only be described as excruciatingly painful.

Rhy placed a hand next to his face, her slim fingers feeling the breeze that still swirled around him. "Nix... Air and Fire Nemesis have always worked well together. To have one person with both of those abilities is amazing."

"I'm not sure I like you anymore." Nix started dressing, doing his best to ignore Rhy's laughter.
