ELECTUS

Chapter 14

Mogranius positions his legs wide apart from each other, to the point where he almost looks like he is squating.

He straightens his right arm forward and his left arm straightened down towards the ground.

On both of his hands he posed his fingers much like the peace sign but the two fingers were connected to each other.

The light smoke that was just randomly spreading above the fire, suddenly started maneuvering itself towards Mogranius.

The smoke started twirling around Mogranius and started surrounding him much like a t.i.tan.o.boa.

From a small snake like form, the smoke that surrounded Mogranius kept expanding by the second.

In a few seconds it looked like a upside down Tornado of Smoke appeared and Mogranius was in the middle of it.

The Tornado like smoke of course did cause light effects that a normal Tornado would doo.

Such as drag Eric towards it, cause the dirt in the cave to cause a small fog and of course it shut down the fire.

Then suddenly the Smoke Tornado started deforming and eventually disappeared.

But Mogranius did too Disappear.

The most interesting fact about this, is that Eric can"t even see smoke anymore.

The slight disruption the Tornado caused in the cave almost disappeared as well.

You would expect a dark smoke cloud just floating around. But no. There wasn"t anything to be seen apart from the dirt dust.

Mogranius is completely invisible.

After that Mograniuses Voice is to be heard.

He says

"You see Eric, smoke has different forms.

From Large impossible to miss smoke to smoke so light to the part where it"s impossible to see.

Just because you can"t see it, doesn"t mean that its not there.

Tiny slim bits of smoke are there."

Eric replies with

"So can you actually make the smoke more visible if you wanted too?"

Mogranius says

"Yes. When performing this spell, you are the source of smoke after it is succesfully casted.

You can toggle how visible the smoke is.

From Tiny impossible to see smoke to this."

After finis.h.i.+ng his sentence, the what seemed to be slightly foggy cave(foggy from the cave dirt that is), turned so foggy that you would think a village is set on fire inside the cave.

The Smoke all came from one source, Mogranius.

It started off from a small fog(where Mogranius was standing of course) and it ended up filling the entire cave with rough black and grey smoke.

After that, they saw Stefan running out of the cave shouting

"FIRE FIRE. THE CAVE IS ON FIRE."

Shortly after, Mogranius made the smoke completely disappear, and Stefan turned around and only saw Eric Giggling, Woldemir sleeping stiff as a rock and Mogranius who caused a bit of smoke before reappearing.

The smoke was of course to make the entrance more dramatic. As he could of easily reappeared without it.


After all of that, Stefan said

"Before you say anything. No i didn"t smoke tree sap again. I saw smoke coming out of the cave."

Mogranius says

"Yes yes we believe you. I caused the smoke.

I was teaching Eric a spell but i forgot you were here. But i see Woldemir didn"t mind it."

After that they heard Woldemir snore, kind off loudly.

But it proves how sleep matters to some people more than running for their life.

Stefan replies with

"Well. Next time you cause a giant smoke fog, can you give me a heads up?"

Mogranius says

"Maybe Eric should use the bear claw spell to transport you somewhere else before we cause smoke fogs."

Stefan replies with

"That won"t be necessary. I can walk myself.

Or at least BlackWind can give me a ride."

Shortly after Stefan finished the sentence, they saw BlackWind walk in the cave, with a branch in its mouth and chewing on the leaves.

Eric says

"I see BlackWind saw the smoke and got worried. Because he wouldn"t stop eating for anyone."

Stefan says

"Well i can find a way to appreciate the concern. But i can not find a way to appreciate how you interrupted my beauty sleep."

Mogranius replies with

"If beauty is linked with sleep, you should sleep until noon."

Stefan says

"Ha Ha Ha very funny.

Now don"t cause anymore smoke fogs before i wake up."

Mogranius replies with

"Of course. You take your much much needed beauty sleep.

We will practice as quiet as possible."

Stefan says

"Thank you!"

Shortly after Stefan gets back to bed, Mogranius gets another campfire going.

But of course he blasted a four foot across FireBall on the Campfire spot.

Which made a irritatedly loud sound.

Back on the sleeping bag that Stefan was in,

With a irritated look on his face, he finally did realize that Mogranius was being sarcastic.

He realized it a bit to late obviously.

Mogranius says

"Well Eric. Are you ready to try the spell.

You are already a level four Fire Wizard.

This shouldn"t be too hard for you."

Eric replies with

"I"m always ready. So i should pretend like i"m sitting on a chair for the spell to work?"

Mogranius says

"No you Goblin. The stance represents a source that sucks down energy. At your case, a source that sucks down smoke.

The way you position your hands represents the way you direct the smoke."

Eric replies with

"So just by doing the stance, the smoke will come towards me?"

Mogranius says

"Almost. But No. In order for the smoke to come towards you, you need to drag it towards you.

Drag it without moving a muscle that is."

Eric replies with

"But how would i do that? Do i yell at the smoke to come to me?"

Mogranius says

"You will find out. Now position yourself."

Eric does as he is told and positions himself exactly like Mogranius did a while ago.

Eric says

"Alright, i"m seated at the imaginary chair. What do i do now?"

Mogranius replies with

"You mock this position but you were the one who couldn"t shoot down one man back at Crutal Kingdom. And you won"t be able too unless you stop talking and concentrate."

Eric says

"Alright. Enough with the puns. What shall i do now?"

Mogranius replies with

"Breathe and concentrate.

When you breath in, imagine the smoke coming towards you and when you breathe out, imagine you took stronger control of the smoke."

Eric says

"Sounds simple enough. Let me try."

Eric breathes in and the fire moves around a bit. Un naturally that is.

Eric is dragging in the fire but not the smoke.

Mogranius says

"Good progress but focus on the smoke, not on the fire."

Eric breathes in again, strengthens his concentration, focuses on the smoke.

The smoke looks hypnotic once focused on it for a while.

He breathes in a few times until he actually manages to maneuver the smoke towards him a bit.

But the control he had on the smoke was short lasting.

Mogranius says

"Not to worry. This is all part of the process.

No one got this at first shot.

Try breathing in deeper.

The deeper you breathe in the better.

And when you breathe out, let it out all at once.

Not slowly but all at once."

Eric of course tries again.

And this time he actually managed to maneuver the smoke halfway to where he was standing.

When Eric breathes out his deeply taken breath out all at once, the smoke stays in one place.

Like it froze. It just floated on mid air as if it was waiting for Eric"s next command.

Eric takes a last deep breath and concentrates twice as hard.

The smoke reaches him this time and surrounds him all over.

Like it did with Mogranius a bit earlier, the smoke surrounds Eric like a snake.

The smoke just keeps getting thicker and thicker until to the point where Eric is surrounded completely from it.

Mogranius shouts

"Alright Eric now clap your hands to interrupt the Tornado. Or else you will be standing there all day."

Eric claps his hands and the smoke Tornado gets disrupted and just bursts out on aimless random directions.

The smoke that surrounded Eric wasn"t there anymore.

But…..
