(XD that's good lol)
Rayla cuts off the flow of mana, grinning. "Well. You have potential to become a hero, at the least."
"Now, for the next test." she says. "We're going to see how much mana you can currently lose before you pass out."
Blade mentally dies. "ooooooookay…" she says nervously.
"Lose? You're going to make her pass out?" Cole inquires. His fear estimation of Rayla just went up.
Rayla looks over at Cole and laughs. "Don't worry. It's only fatal 10% of the time."
She starts the process of withdrawing mana from Blade.
"Only?" Cole whispers. And he thought he was bad! This is just…chaotic!
"I already dislike everything about this," Blade grumbles. "Thank the stars that Marin's not here." It takes another few minutes, and finally, the color slightly drains from Blade's face and she collapses.
Cole holds in a gasp as Blade does exactly as he feared. He touches her wrist and breathes when feeling a pulse. He doesn't….know what to say for once. Now he's one primed for manipulation.
Blade's eyes snap open and she stumbles to her feet, shoving Cole away. "That was a terrible experience," she says, calling Luna to her and rubbing her fur.
(Lol everyone being concerned while Rayla's just as insanely cheeful as usual)
"Huh. That's- strange." she mutters. "She can. . .? But, when can a human-?"
She shakes her head and sighs, giving Blade back her mana.
"Now you." she grins, turning to Cole.
Blade tilts her head at Rayla's strange rambling. "This is so weird," she mutters.
Cole falls from the push but doesn't mind - he'd do the same thing if they had swapped places. Then he realizes what Rayla said and starts backpedaling away. "Nope! Uh uh, not me! I'm as average as they come, trust me!"
Rayla raises an eyebrow. "So, you don't even want to try and see what you can do? What sort of power you can wield?"
Her eyes gleamed with the promise of knowledge. And power. And secrets, of things best left unknown to mere mortals.
"You've kinda made it clear that this is, like, hardcore," Blade said "You sure we should keep going with this?"
Cole stops at that. It would be…convenient. His eyes narrow. "What's the catch?" There is no such thing as a free lunch after all.
(Hey y'all, I have several RPs that I just started & you're welcome to check them out! The names are *Silent as a Tomb *Screams and Thrills *Through the Foggy Forest *Truth or Dare Chat *All Aboard!)
Rayla chuckles slightly. "If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't be doing this, now would I? I may be insane, but that does not make me dumb."
She looks at Cole out of the corner of her eyes, her look becoming more calculated and cool. "That depends. . . if you're 'average,' how much power do you want? If you're not, what are you willing to pay for the knowledge to use it?"
(I'll look into it- I'm not great with RPs so we'll see haha)
"Not exactly," Blade muttered but didn't push it.
(I'm already a part of one XD)
(Oh, and Luna: I edited my post to account for yours ;-;)
(Np, just wanted 2 let y’all know. And awesome Force, I need to write mine too XD)
Cole gets up and dusts his hands off. “Just one type for starters. And just a little; I don’t want to be the next Hulk, thank you very much.”
(Lol okay XD)
Rayla sighs.
"Fine, fine. That'll cost you 5 pennies from the eyes of dead men." she jokes.
"In all seriousness, you are now in debt to me. Remember that." she sighs, the air around her starting to thrum with power. Rayla's hair starts to raise slightly and glow dark purple, and she floats up into the air.
She speaks a few words in Draconian, and Cole starts to float as well. White lines of mana link the two, a bit of Rayla's power flowing into Cole.
But a little bit for Rayla would be enough to put Cole on par with a Duke of Hell.
They both fall to the floor afterwords and Rayla fixes her hair, grinning.
"There you go, kid."
Blade blinks. "I am so confused. Again."
