Drawback
"You ready Raven" Pyre roars with enthusiasm bursting out of him like flames.
"Is this the same environment Blake went through?" Her curious green eyes scan over the frozen tundra before them.
"Odd hand of fate is it not, I spun the environment setting on random as well" Pyre says scratching at his red beard in confusion.
"Alright so how this will go is you'll be on offence I'll be on defense, strikes I deliver won't have my power behind it but can still pack a punch". Pyres' grin fills with enthusiasm.
"Now let loose" His grin spreads out into a wild smile, waiting for her action.
"Let me see your inner flame at work your brother has already surprised me as it is"
"I wonder how yours will shape" Pyre says looking beneath the surface of Raven. His red eyes ignited with bursts of embers. His view gets encompassed by a golden ember burning away, just waiting to catch light to the tinder of motivation.
"Remember we want to see your drawback at its fullest, don't be afraid you're safe" he says with an encouraging tone motivating her as much as possible.
Her hair begins to rise from the release of her power, eyes shimmering green as a misty grey floats around her.
"I'm ready" Raven says, her eyes full of determination.
"HERE WE GO"
Charging forward Pyre summons flames on his heels increasing his speed. His large frame slams against the ice of the tundra, melting parts of it in the process.
Exhaling and remembering the security around here, immense pressure leaks out of her. The grey mist starts to swirl and shine. Spreading out from her center, it starts to cling to Pyres figure as his strike is about to connect. In an instant his fist is inches away from her face.
*SLAM* The burly red haired man is met with the floor for the first time in a while. His nose squashed against the rough ice.
"Now that's surprising, I haven't had a meeting with the floor in a long time". Pyre chuckles, setting his nose in place.
"Blake will be happy to hear" He says brushing away the blood trickling down his nose.
"That was good but keep going Raven. You need to summon more force behind that even if it's straining. I know you're holding back, let it loose your safe here".
"You siblings are gonna need each other's back more than ever now so there is no time for half-hearted training". Pyre says.
"I wasn't kidding, a storm is coming, a vicious one at that". Pyres grave tone hits home his point.
"Fear is a powerful sensation, however you shouldn't let it overwhelm you, but guide you out of danger".
"Pushing past the fear is the epitome of courage" Imparting his wisdom across to her.
"I know your one courageous girl your flame is just waiting to set alight"
"So go forward"! He yells out.
The forming Security brings her mind a sense of lull. Her powers started to come out more and more. Green eyes brimming with the same mist like energy.
"Now attack and release that inner flame of yours" Pyre yells out.
Launching herself forward, Raven floats herself through the air carrying her momentum throughout, swimming through the air like a fish she begins extending both of her hands outward. Bringing them together in an almighty clap. The mist follows suit forming walls as they crash together sandwiching Pyre in the middle. Crushing part of him.
"I can do this" Raven says to herself pushing her limits farther than they've ever been tested.
Continuing her assault a sense of freedom floods through her as the cold wind of the tundra brushes past her skin.
"I can do this" Confidence starts to form as her understanding of her power becomes sharper and sharper. Past memories cascade through her, the powerlessness urging her along for change.
"This time I will protect you Blake". She says shutting her eyes as full concentration is finally let loose.
Pyres' eyes widen as the golden ember inside of Raven spreads into the beginning of a wildfire. Slowly a golden wisp flickers throughout her.
Honing the mist now, she begins to sharpen and extend it, becoming more and more detailed as the image of the javelin starts to become much clearer. A mist-like javelin materializes fully, hovering above her just waiting to let loose.
"I'VE GOT THIS I CAN WIN" The foreseeable victory clouds her mind as she sends the javelin forward. Releasing it like a crack of a whip, it screams through the air honing in on Pyres chest.
As it connects, it starts to spin, drilling deep into Pyres' chest. Continuing its immense force, his smirk is wiped clean as focus takes precedence. Holding back the javelin with all of his muscles power. His hands struggle to hold back the powerful rotation digging wounds into his palms in the process.
"COME ON". She yells out, the javelin continues to fiercely drill into him. Until it dissipates entirely, falling apart back into mist. Her legs fall through in response
"I...I c….a…n..t…m…ove" Her vocal cords stiff refusing to utter sound. Panic washes over her as she begins to feel locked within her own body.
"It's going to be okay Raven, everything's alright you just need to give your body time to catch up to the demand you just put it through". Pyre says rushing over to her immediately.
"Try to breathe slowly".
"Focus on getting through your drawback, nothing else".
"You have all the time in the world, I said you were safe right" A wide comforting smile reminiscent of her father calms her mind.
A slow grueling 2 hours go by, overtime her body starts to respond to her demands again. Slow at first her feet start to wiggle, following with her legs. Breathing heavily, sweat falls down her face. Struggling through the overwhelming numbness of her body. Until she can finally stand on her own again, pushing against what felt like three times the normal gravity.
"That was terrifying". She says, clinging to her hoodie.
"Sometimes the most rewarding paths are the scariest". Putting a hand on her shoulder Pyre tries to comfort her.
"It will get easier with time, so don't give up just yet" Warmth like a flame enters his tone.
"Let yourself get used to it and you'll see just what you hold at your fingertips". Pointing his finger at her head
"Everything you need is up here, the mind is our strongest tool". Pyre says, tapping his finger to her forehead.
"You will need that power so don't fear it, it's yours nobody else's" Pyre says with assertiveness.
Leaving the Sim room together, he blows out snot and blood from the recent barrage of attacks. ''She actually managed to scratch the skin of my battle gear'' Pyres' astonishment fills his expression seeing the marks in his battle gear showing his flesh underneath.
''This girl will become a monster if she hones her power properly'' Shock fills his thoughts as ideas of the future creep their way in.
