:Narrator: back at the heavens flame faction Rachel and Sarina would be standing there breathing quite heavy as both sisters were clearly exhausted they were slightly bruised while blood ran down there faces a little seemingly the whole area was destroyed and scorched from the intense training session that lasted for hours.

:Rachel: I knew he would be very strong from the start...considering his position in this realm but damn I've never been pushed like this before and he hasn't even broken a sweat in fact I can feel the heat from him gradually increasing during this whole thing continuously growing and scaling with us and sometimes going a bit above it's like going through multiple modes of difficulties that seem to have no end.

:Sarina: I know...isn't it...Exhilarating!! To be pushed further and further with no other choice but to adapt and survive to force yourself to get stronger in the moment in the heat of battle this feeling this rush was something I always missed hahahahaha!!

:Rachel: seriously...the hell is wrong with you.

:Sarina: oh don't be too quick to judge since we're still on the same wave I can feel it deep down inside your enjoying this even just a little bit don't deny it.

:Rachel: even if that were true I'm not a battle craved psychopath.

:Sarina: when I looked into your eyes that night...they say otherwise.

:Rachel: my eyes? What's wrong with my eyes?

:Narrator: Sarina slowly glanced over at Rachel looking at her eyes she instantly had a subtle flashback like before of younger Rachel that was covered in cuts and burn marks all over her body and looked deeper into those eyes that only knew hopelessness and despair until Sarina snapped out of it and slowly smiled showing off her sharp teeth.

:Sarina: don't worry you'll understand sooner or later those eyes of yours say it all even I get the chills just a little.

:Rachel: is there...something you're not telling me bec-

:Hellex: alright that's it for now great work both of you it's clear to see you both are indeed getting stronger especially you Rachel your rapid growth is also surprising your understanding of the flames seem to be improving as well.

:Rachel: oh thank you I try learning as much as I can in the library on anything dealing with flames to the many different philosophies behind it and more that's how I usually spend my nights half the time.

:Hellex: please do be careful though make sure you prioritize your sleep as well.

:Rachel: that's the same thing that Stella said to me this morning I'll try to sleep more often thank you.

:Stella: I never thought training would be this intense for you guys I mean I spend a few hours with my father to sharpen my skills but what I just witnessed here was like an all out battle to the death or something even though mister hellex was clearly holding back seems like he put you two through it today.

:Sarina: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger four eyes having a weak body only dulls your skills it's like sharpening a blade if you don't have it in peak condition it'll become dull and weak and I despise weakness.

:Stella: when you put it like that I guess it really is necessar- hey stop calling me that!!

:Sarina: maybe I will once I find an ounce of reason to respect you.

:Stella: you really are insufferable to deal with how the hell do you manage to live with her.

:Rachel: by having an unbreakable spirit...it's the only way.

:Sarina: aww am I that bad to deal with.

:Rachel: yes...considering how you treated me when I arrived here months ago.

:Sarina: I wasn't that bad to you!

:Narrator: Rachel turned her head glancing at Sarina as the dark violet flames that swirled around the two slowly splits apart into blue flames that flickered around Rachel's body and dark purple flames that swirled around sarina.

:Rachel: you indirectly tried to kill me a few times...

:Sarina: that's!...an understatement you're over exaggerating if I wanted you dead it would have been easy for me to do.

:Rachel: you've woken me up out of my sleep standing upside down on the ceiling in my room with your scythe pointed directly at my throat...

:Sarina: that was just me messing around again if I really wanted you dead I could have slit your throat in your sleep!

:Rachel: you've also left notes of death threats within the first week of me showing up...

:Sarina: thaaat...was also me messing around it wasn't that serious.

:Rachel: mhm...ill paraphrase one since I actually remembered one of the letters and I quote "little sis looks cute she would be more cute if her head was severed, eyes gouged out and the top of her skull used as an ash tray..."

:Sarina: pff...I don't remember writing anything like that anyways yeah yeah i get it I'm sorry.

:Rachel: half assed apology I'll take what I can get.

:Hellex: alright I think it's time to head back.

:Rachel: actually...there's something I'd like to ask Stella for help with a certain problem.

:Stella: oh really well I've got the time of course I'll help in any way I can.

:Rachel: I've been having trouble trying to fly lately I know it was Sarina's job to teach me but she isn't great at...teaching and id rather not follow through in constantly falling out of the sky while trying to get the hang of it.

:Sarina: I warned you I don't teach or have the patience but at least I told you the fundamentals on how to get it down.

:Stella: yeah sure I don't see a problem with it just I assume how you fly is different to how I do it but we'll figure it out.

:Hellex: if that's the case we will leave you both to it.

:Narrator: hellex gave a slight smirk while standing next to sarina he crossed his arms and soon a pillar of crimson red flames descended down onto them both like before until the flames vanished along with hellex and sarina the only thing left was a darkened scorched ring from where they both stood.

:Stella: woah...that's a fancy exit there.

:Rachel: yeah and it's instantaneous so there probably back home already.

:Stella: gotta say the heavens flame faction really is full of surprises I don't know much about other factions though hopefully I'll get to know more anyways about your flying troubles.

:Rachel: oh right well since humans weren't made to fly or do anything that anyone in this realm can do it's a bit difficult for me I can float but when it comes to the actual flying part I end up breaking focus and well falling very...very high up from the sky.

:Stella: ahh yeah that definitely is a problem since you were human now learning how to fly and do all these things it's like telling a new born child to run or solve a complex equation well I'll help the best I can mind telling me how you guys do fly.

:Rachel: mmm...apparently I need to increase or decrease the heat energy I'm currently manipulating the more heat energy I focus on the outside in the air the faster I can fly the more heat I retain within my body the slower I get so I need to constantly increase and decrease the heat energy within me or around me to go faster or to slow down or to stop completely they said once I get it down I'll automatically just do it.

:Stella: o-oh alright that sounds more... complicated than I thought it would be well we have plenty of time.

:Rachel: since we're on the topic how do you fly you know turning into a cloud of green smoke and all.

:Stella: oh that's pretty simple anything poison is my area of expertise i just break down all the atoms within my body and reshape them at a rapid pace to make it more simple it's like I cover myself in acid but it's with the poison that's within my body then change it's natural liquid state into a smoke like cloud and that's how I turn into that cloud of smoke and I can practically do it like if was just breathing or eating.

:Rachel: you said...it was pretty simple that doesn't seem simple to grasp at all.

:Stella: well I could draw it out to better explain if you want.

:Rachel: no no it's fine let's just focus on the  flying part.

:Stella: alright first get off the ground I'll try to guide you more while in the air.

:Narrator: Rachel nodded and closed her eyes feeling the heat within her body now starting to flow out around her body flowing outwards and expand soon slowly starting to float up into the air while keeping her concentration.

:Stella: alright good so far I can see the waves of heat expanding I can feel it from all the way down here.

:Narrator: Rachel continued to float up until she was way high in the air soon she slowly opened her eyes and was slightly startled seeing Stella up close right in her face which caused Rachel to slightly move back she looked at Stella seeing light green mist like smoke swirling around her body.

:Rachel: woah too close and I thought you could only fly by turning into a cloud of smoke.

:Stella: it's more efficient for me yeah but I also can do it normally reason why is because my glasses sometimes end up slipping off if I go too fast and also I have to be this close to guide you now I'm not an expert on heat and all that stuff imagine flowing into the heat waves expand it out more and glide into it.

:Narrator: Rachel sighed and slowly expanded the heat out even further past her body and out into the air she breathed out heated steam as she started to move forward. Stella watched with her hands behind her back giving a faint smile while floating by her side as they continued straight.

:Stella: you seem pretty steady for now let's try moving a little faster come on focus on me and just flow don't think too much just let it happen.

:Narrator: Stella floated up a little higher as green mist flowed around her body she started to pick up speed while Rachel kept her eyes on Stella and started to pick up speed herself, keeping up with Stella and soon her blue flames swirled around her body following every movement that Stella made.

:Stella: alright so far so good since you're such a fast learner let's get a little fancy.

:Narrator: Stella smirked and quickly flew further that's when Rachel blasted herself towards Stella's direction Stella twisted and twirled around in the air creating green mist patters in the air while Rachel copied Stella's movements in every detail causing the streaks of blue flames and green mist to mash and mix together creating a sparkling teal color that glowed in the sky it's like the two were dancing creating a beautiful display of flames and poisonous mist. Stella's eyes glowed light green while Rachel's eyes glowed light blue as both of them traveled in the air at a high speed rate until they were now flying above a crystal clear river it's water shined thanks to the help of the blazing suns light Stella and Rachel we're flying right beside each other they turned there heads to look at each other in the eyes and soon Stella chuckled.

:Stella: this feeling it's like that time we danced with each other at my birthday celebration remember?

:Narrator: Rachel's eyes slightly widened a bit while recalling the dance soon her concentration was now shaken and her flying became slightly unstable which caused Rachel to fall while she was falling Rachel accidentally grabbed onto Stella's wrist causing her to fall down as well until they both crashed into the crystal clear water creating a loud splash as a few moments seconds passed Rachel and Stella popped there heads up out of the water in which Stella would be breathing slightly heavy.

:Stella: you know when I said I'd help you with your flying problems I didn't expect to get soaked at the end of it.

:Narrator: the longer they both stayed in the water the warmer it was becoming as light steam would float above water Stella looked around then looked back at Rachel.

:Stella: call me crazy but I'm sure this river was really cold when we fell in now the whole river is turning into a damn hot springs.

:Rachel: yeah...sorry about that we should probably get out.

:Narrator: Stella gave a slight chuckle she starts to swim until she was now able to stand on the ground and finally walking out of the river as Rachel followed behind her they soon sat down next to each other while taking in the view of the heated river while it's waters still shined.

:Stella: y'know even though falling in a river wasn't the plan at all can't say I'm mad about it didn't think it would be this fun back home usually I study on different poisons or it's training with my father it's nice to have little moments like this I know I'm here on business but gotta enjoy the little things while on the journey.

:Rachel: mm...well if I had to pick on either Sarina and her poor teaching skills that could end up having me fall out of the sky and into a tree or on the ground or pick having you help while still falling but in water this time I'd prefer this every time but I understand and I hope you enjoy being here while everything is is going down.

:Narrator: Stella would be soaked from head to toe from the water while she averted her eyes towards Rachel seeing the water on her skin and clothes sizzle and evaporate into light heated steam seemingly already fully dried.

:Stella: the hell that's not fair you're already dry while I'm soaked in my clothes.

:Rachel: huh...oh it's not my fault it just happens Everytime I interact with water but I think I can help with that.

:Narrator: Rachel breathed out heated steam that flowed out of her mouth then raised her left hand up and soon light blue flames would swirl around Stella's body Stella looked around in aw and until the flames dispersed out flowing back to Rachel's body then Stella patted herself a little realizing she was completely dry.

:Stella: th-thanks...and damn that was cool.

:Rachel: you know you're pretty cool yourself also I've been thinking on a name for that messy hellhound.

:Stella: yeah what name did you come up with.

:Rachel: since that was the first hell hound I've seen before since back on earth they are just myths in stories I was thinking of naming it...firoar a little twist on the Norse mythology wolf monster fenrir.

:Stella: oh pretty creative I approve of that name.

:Narrator: Rachel's pocket started to pulsate light blue on and off until she reached into her pocket and pulled out a crystal blue shard soon Rachel stood up while looking at stella.

:Rachel: forgot I had this apparently this is for communication guess it's time to head back.

:Stella: I'll stay here for a bit and map out the area just in case.

:Rachel: are you sure...well it should be fine just try not to get lost.

:Stella: that's already impossible I memorized and mapped out the area all the way here when we were flying so don't worry I won't get lost.

:Narrator: Rachel nodded and started to float up once Rachel flew out Stella stood up and turned back towards the thick forest she floated up towards the trees going into the forest her eyes glowed dark green she could see dark green misty tracks of some kind and decided to follow it as some minute's passed she could hear a loud scream coming from further ahead. Stella floated towards the scream she heard and soon stopped in her tracks she stood there on top of a tree branch to see the man with long jet black hair and strange symbols that covered his body the same man in the photos she could see him siphoning off of an unknown man that laid on the ground until black mist swirled around him he pulled his hand back pulling out a black purple stone that was pulled out from the unknown mans now lifeless body it was when the words of her father echoed into her mind.

:Avalon: "remember what I told you Stella...in this world it's kill or be killed when it comes down to it when the time comes do not hesitate to kill him if the window of opportunity is there."

:Stella: do not hesitate....
