Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2006 5:35 pm    Post subject: Chapter 11: Clay Mask  

Yahoo used a wind spell of his own to launch up and over the wall right before hitting the arena side. While still up in the air, and before his opponent had time to react, he sent a mixture of dirt, coal, and water down on her. Saota chose that exact moment to look up at Yahoo and got a face full of this gunk. As he was coming down he hardened the tar like substance to a rock on her face, and then stepped back and enjoyed the show.

At first all she did was touch what was on her face, before pointing to it and trying to blast it off. Instead her spell just bounced off the small shield Yahoo had placed on it. Now she was really mad; she used her well-practiced ability to control the winds to make her whirlwinds into giant tornados. With these swirling around almost uncontrollably, Yahoo found himself quickly surrounded by a wall of dirt and wind. It was just another distraction though as she tried to break down his shield and get off the clay-like mask.

Yahoo wasn't fooled for a moment though and just let them run their course. He kept an observant eye on Saota as she tried again and again to get off the mask obscuring her great beauty and vision. When she started using more and more violent methods Yahoo made the shield weaker until finally with a small explosion the mask came off, but by redirecting the focus of his shield Yahoo was able to direct the flash from the explosion right into her eyes.

Now blind and flabbergasted she started getting clumsy with her magic. She brought up hurricane force gusts that would go nowhere, and whips of wind around her body. Her mana was quickly draining and all Yahoo had done was a few simple tricks and one little spell. She started to slow down in her attacks and then just sat down on the ground. Yahoo approached her warily and just stood over her crouched form, she turned her face up to him and he saw that she was crying.

"Accept defeat and I will heal your vision," he said.

She just nodded her head and kneeled down at his feet, and once again it was his name said over the loudspeaker. Yahoo waved his hand over her head and swiftly left the field. He confirmed his next battle up at the front desk and started back to his hotel.

When he got there he was told that he had a visitor. He looked into the lobby where the patron pointed and saw the last person he ever expected to see in the world, his love's husband. Now the only question was whether he should go talk to him or just tell the patron to inform the gentleman that he was not there. If he just waited till he left he could follow him home maybe, what was Yahoo to do?

Why would I not want to do that? I'll do whatever is voted for the most, and if it's talk to him then Yahoo will talk to him.

I think he should attach a tracer of some sort to follow him home so he could find where his love is.

I would say talk as well.

All sneaking will do is get him in trouble.

Talk to him with the purpose of gathering information about his wife and her life.
or
Provoke him outside and intimidate him to have him under your control.
or
Be as amiable as possible to encourage his cooperation to whatever you might ask him for in the future.

sorry lord rahl, but i dislike the tracer cloud idea. i know that it is currently in one of the greatest books of all time and that would be copy-write(plus i have no court fine money one me :D ).
but i do like where your going with it so if you could place a spell that mabey would leave invisable 'magic' foot prints or somthing...




p.s. nice avater, its part of the cover of the temple of the winds. nice!
