ELECTUS 20 One Eyebrow Less

Just a second before the lava was about to turn Mogranius in to a burned kebab, Eric jumped in front of the way.

He unleashed a terrifyingly large amount of fire towards the lava.

The Fire he unleashed was so large, that the beginning of the blast was literally a blast.

In an exploding like manner, it threw Mogranius all the way through the cave and out of it a few feet, making him tumble down through the hard rocks outside of the cave like a tumbleweed.

While Eric was just thrown all the way to the end of the cave.

The blast was just to strong. But it was d.a.m.n well effective.

But of course, just the literal beginning of the blast threw Mogranius out of the cave.

The Fire. Dear G.o.d. The fire was terrifying.

It measured ten feet across and it had such a strong push that it didn't just easily overpower the lava but it also expanded the used to be dead end tunnel to a ten foot wide and high seemingly endless hole.

And it didn't shake the rest of the cave down in the process.

A win win.

The heat of the fire was unbearable as well.

Just by being the caster, Eric slightly burned his hands, burned one eyebrow and even a bit of his hair.

The hair doesn't seem to be a problem because his black hair just look better with it.

The Fireball Eric unleashed was short lasting.

He wasn't able to keep it running longer than just a few seconds. But those few seconds gave him all the advantages he needed to overpower the lava.

However, Eric was knocked out from that huge blast as well.

Not in the way he blew out Mogranius though.

Eric got knocked out from the lack of stamina.

As we mentioned before, his magic is linked to his stamina. The more he blasts the more stamina he loses.

And this huge blast was way to much for someone who just discovered magic a few days ago. He didn't yet figure out how to make the best out of his stamina.

But Mogranius on the other hand was halfway to being knocked out.

I mean apart from the fact that he burned out all of his stamina, got blasted out by a sudden fire blast and tumbled down hard rocks like a tumbleweed, he has less reasons to be knocked out.

Apparently apart from all that happened, he is still standing. Well more like crawling.

He crawled his way up to the cave which took a few minutes.(in his case it felt like forever)

And managed to reach Eric.

He managed to gently(slapped) wake up Eric in to consciousness and while still under his breath he said

"You did it kid. You did it."

They both are tired. All Mogranius is strong enough to do is crawl and Eric burned out so much Stamina that he can't even crawl yet. Infact, he doesn't have enough power to lift his hand.

He would need a few minutes(or an hour) to catch his breath and get his energy back.

Until that time comes, they are defenseless.

But unfortunately, time wasn't on their side now.

Because from the previous tunnel where all that lava came from, now came something more deadly.

Something everyone but one person expected dead.

The Calidum Lutum. Three of them came out of that tunnel.

One who seemed to be the leader, who seemed taller than an average ten foot Calidum Lutum, was in the middle of the three.

His strong black Biceps were twice the size of Eric himself and the lava like veins that covered their bodies made each of them twice as intimidating.

Luckily they were wearing grey breachers as well. Or else it would be really terrifying.

The two other Calidum Lutum near him, seemed smaller, weaker but if the two of them were put together, they would be equal(if not stronger) to the leader.

You would expect the Calidum Lutum race to be peaceful.

Apart from their obvious numerous war advantages, they avoided war.

But yet again they didn't seem peaceful.

The leader, forged his hands together, making them a large fist and was about to crush the life out of both Eric and Woldemir.

A second before he was about to crush them, he heard a voice yelling in a commanding tone

"AKI"

The seemingly giant Calidum Lutum stopped on his spot. As if he froze. And separated his hands from each other, sparing their lives.

Even though he was the leader, there seems to be a leader above leaders.

The three large Calidum Lutum stood aside and what seemed to be a small woman was approaching.

Well at least small compared to the other three. She was about six foot tall.

She looked like an ignite but not entirely.

You can define an ignite apart from similar looking races from the jawline and how wide the face is.

Interesting definition indeed.

Ignites have a small jawline and their face isn't so wide. Every ignite looks like that without doubt.

But the woman that approached Eric and Woldemir had the complete opposite.

Wide face and Jawline, six foot tall(while most of the other ignite women are around five foot tall.)

And of course a big feature that defined her best, she had no ears. And i'm not using this as a metaphor, she had no ears. At all.

No holes around where the ears should be either. Nothing. Straight out flat.

But oddly, she could hear everything.

But she was undoubtedly "otherworldly" beautiful.

Her hair reached to the way of her elbows and she was obviously very physically fit.

Mogranius who a minute ago was laying on the ground gasping for breath, in less then a split second stood six foot tall(still a bit shorter than her).

Mogranius who straight up believed that marriage was a waste of time, nerves and gold coins, suddenly fell in love at first sight.

In a flirt like manner he said to her

"Who might you be, let me guess.... They call you Dandelion. Because you sure look as beautiful as one."
