Chapter 2

"You're kidding." Tamara said, gaping at the huge mass of fire shooting from the ground.

"Nope, not at all." Call replied, trying to keep the mood light.

She asked, "Are you sure it's not one of those things where the ground shoots out lava?"

"I don't think that's a thing, Tamara." Call answered.

Tamara ignored him, returning her gaze to the elemental.

"Can't you send it to the void?" She asked.

"No, not something that huge. It would kill me a thousand times over before I could summon up enough void energy to get rid of it." Call replied.

He thought back, trying to think of a way to destroy that thing once and for all. He doubted he could muster up enough water to put it out. Call remembered when Master Rufus had warned Call that there was a traitor in the magisterium, and that person had sent the metal elemental, Automotones after them. Automotones.

"Come on, I have an idea." Call said.

"Are you sure-" Tamara started to say, but Call had already leaped into the air and taken off. Tamara followed close behind. They landed in the trees, about 100 meters away from Embirka.

"Tamara summon up as much metal as you can." Call said.

"Call, your not going to-" She started.

"Yeah, I am." Call finished.

"Call, that's insane. you could end up with more people dying this way, including yourself!" Tamara said, as the elemental turned toward them.

"Tamara," Call warned.

"Fine, I'll do it. Just this once." She said, Summoning 10 story metal spikes from the ground. She took Call's hand. Call was confused at first,

But then she said "Do it Call."

Call realized That Tamara was being Call's counter-weight. He raised his free hand and shot out huge black tendrils that curled out of his hand and created a huge black cloud. But this time, instead of sucking things into the void, He pushed Automotones out, along with a few cars that had been sucked from his dad's junk yard in the process. Call and Tamara collapsed to the ground as Automotones inhaled the metal. Call knew that Embirka had the advantage, but had figured that the extra metal would be enough to defeat Embirka. Or at least weaken it enough to the point where Call could defeat it with hardly any magic, but he'd cross that bridge when the time came.

"That was a stupid idea." Call said.

"Yeah, no shit Sherlock. Next time I come up with the ideas." Tamara replied. And with that she passed out.

"what have I done…" Call thought to himself as he stared at the not one, but two elementals. And somehow that was supposed to fix the problem. Call turned back to the elementals which were just swing their giant claws around in hopes of destroying something. Embirka slashed off a huge chunk of metal off Automotones' shoulder blade. And it just so happened that it was headed straight for us.

"Well," Call thought back to when they had first met the fire elemental. "I have managed to fail, become dying, and be already dead all at once. aren't I just special." But then, a thought occurred to him. Tamara had only been here because of Call. If they were to both die, it would be all Call's fault. He also thought back to when he had said Call wants to live before fighting the wyverns. But he was wrong. The Enemy wants to live. Call wants to protect. And that is why Call decided to sprawl himself across Tamara's back and summon a thick metal wall with the remains of his energy.
