Magrev walked silently around in the smoke of the bomb. Most being are unable to stay in the black mist for so long, unable to see, unable to breathe freely. He was right at home for it was a simple matter of stopping his breathing and simply listening for the clumsy movement of prey. The black cloud engulfed most of the room and was slowly moving to cover all open ground while also spreading into the hallway. He would be safe from most forms of spells. They needed a visible target and the smoke protected him for as long as it stayed in the air.<br/><br/>Another simple advantage of the smoke bomb was that it essentially negated L'odu's invisibility. Not only would it cause her to choke if she breathed in too much of it but the smoke couldn't enter space that she occupied, visible or not. It would result in a clear patch of air wherever the mage was, and all Magrev had to do was find that open space.<br/><br/>As fate would have it though, he wouldn't have to look hard for the troll as her invisibility started to fade. She was levitating, never a good sign when facing a spellcaster, her eyes were glowing an unnatural color. Another bad sign. Something powerful was to come and he'd need to take some of its force if he is to get close. Another feeling was also starting to creep up his spine. The other spellslinger was too inactive for his liking and he couldn't see him. Either he left, which was rather unlikely, or he was doing something outside that door that would definitely not cause pleasure.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: SandyBrown">I said.. You won't get me alive </span>"<br/><br/>The icy cold winds of L'odu's spell hit him first. That he was able to brush off. He had no need for heat. It was a luxury. Sadly, it pushed all the smoke out of the room, leaving him a visible target but also doing the same for the beautiful troll. The winds were picking up, pushing him along the ground almost to his feet. He started breathing again, feeling the cold going inside him, chilling him. He looked up as a large cracking sound was made, like the trunk of a might tree being snapped. A brilliant arc of electricity fell from nowhere and hit the ground at his feet, charring the wood. Immediately he went on the move, dodging arcs of light , moving with unnatural agility and grace. Unfortunately that would last for about a couple of seconds before a bolt found it mark and hit him in the leg. He flew forward in spasms and was struck by another bolt, then a third and fourth.<br/><br/>He lay on the floor his armor charred and sizzling. The storm was nowhere close to letting up. The bolt hit the ground around him, just waiting for him to try and get to his feet. At this point most men would give up, but then again, Magrev isn't most men. He needed to stay alive. He turned his head to face the floating troll, her robes billowing in the wind, her eyes glowing, and her lips moving at an unnatural pace, chanting some unknown language. All it took was a simple focusing of the mind. A red aura surrounded the floating troll, a crimson similar to the hue of blood. Like another click in his mind, his body was suddenly filled with energy. His fatigue was washed away as he got up in one quick motion. One last click in his head and his speed was increased even more, making him a blur. He ran at the troll, the bolt of lightning having no chance to react to his sudden movements.<br/><br/>He jumped up at the floating troll, unsheathing one of his last daggers before disappearing into the air. A second later he reappeared behind her, still in the air, still moving towards her. With a soft thud of bodies hitting, he caught hold of the troll. His legs wrapped around her waist while his free arm wrapped below her shoulders around her chest. A dagger hovered at L'odu's throat as he hung on for dear life. Magrev took in a deep breath so he may speak. His mouth drew close to her ear as he whispered, showering her face with a small gust of unnaturally cold air.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: DarkSlateBlue">Why don't we just calm down now.</span>"<br/><br/>(In order I used the rogue spells, Vendetta, Adrenaline Rush, Sprint, and Shadowstep. Felt the need to identify it, Don't know why.)<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
