Chapter Five: Black Mage
Pure power.
That is the only way I can describe it.
No wonder why Yevon frowned upon summoners learning black magic. But that didn't stop my father; he was a master of black magic along with white. So I'll follow his footsteps in this regard.
Now I finally understand why Lulu always seemed to exude that aura of power…even in times of adversity.
I appear in battle, amidst a tornado of flame, Nirvana cool in my hand and humming with power. It was with Nirvana I learned my first two black magic spells…Shortly before we went into Sin, and after I had found Nirvana, Lulu came to me one night.
"It's time you learned something other than your healing spells." She said. "You've broken nearly every rule of Yevon there is…so what's one more?" I agreed, and that night she taught me the basics of the two most powerful spells…Flare and Ultima. In return, I taught her Holy and Full-Life…a fair trade-off, yes?
"Nirvana? Oh man, I wanted to use it!" Rikku complained.
"It's her staff, be grateful she's letting us use her others for our magical transformations." Paine replied. I selected two staffs and held them out.
"I want to use Nirvana because it holds black magic energy." I said. "Lulu taught me two Black Magic spells when I first got Nirvana...therefore it's the most compatible weapon I have for this transformation. The two I'm giving you are clean…I've erased any lingering magical energy. They'll become attuned to you and you only."
"Okay." Paine and Rikku reply.
"Is it just me or are you really taking a liking to this dressphere?" Paine remarks as the battle ends. "The past couple of fights, that's all you've been using."
"Call it catching up on magical skills." I reply, putting my hands behind my back and leaning forward. Out of the outfits so far, this is the second one I like…it's modest and sexy at the same time. The skirt's a little snug against my hips, but I don't mind. Let them look before they go up in flames, drown, freeze, or fry.
After all, the four great elements heed my call. Fire, Ice, Water and Thunder…for they are what all of magic is based upon. And to master them is to master true magical power.
Don't mess with the Black Mage.
AN: Correction, it was Brotherhood, not Waterstrike, in chapter 3. Thanks EverShadow!
