Satchiel stared at the water basin. He felt... weird.
Riohni eyed him. "What, are you going to be afraid of water for the rest of your life? How glorious that would sound; Satchiel, rider of Riohni, is afraid of the one element that he has complete control over."
Satchiel responded without looking at him. "I'm not scared. Its just... To turn into water.. Then drinking water... Its creepy, all right?"
Riohni snorted, but said, "Small one, listen. Though it is creepy, you shall rise above this fear, to master this ability, to do wondruo-"
"Ok, stop it. Your making me blush."
Satchiel didn't mean to blush as he said it, but he did.
"Oh, hava I embarrased the Rider of Water?"
Satchiel felt a shiver go up his spine.
"Fine. I'll drink it."
He drank the water.
Satchiel felt the water go down his throat, and disturbingly still, felt it become a part of him.
"What am I, a fish?!"
"Maybe."
Satchiel turned around, and eyed him. Riohni was eyeing him too, until Riohni almost knocked him over by nudging him with his nose.
After that they played.

Captian Jard stared at the tunnel which Satchiel had come out of.
He could bear it no more. The means of getting Satchiel lay right there...
Captain Jard bellowed for several spellcasters and men.
They started up.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Satchiel and Riohni were still playing when they heard a boot clang against stone echo through the tunnel.
Satchiel and Riohni looked at the tunnel.
They went to it, and they could hear echoeing of people coming up the tunnel.
"I'll deal with this."
Satchiel stood by, and wondered what Riohni was going to do.
Riohni took in a deep breath, and released it.
Except it wasn't carbon dioxide that came out.
It was live fire.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Captain Jard felt the flame go through the tunnel before he heard it.
"GET COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!" He roared.
Everyone dropped to the ground.
Orange, red, and blue fire passed over their heads.
They got up. Captain Jard felt like his small, gray beard caught on fire.
A spellcaster turned towards him , about to speak, and the spellcaster just stood there, jaw hanging.
Captain Jard realized that it wasn't just a feeling. It was the truth!
He calmly asked the spellcaster, "Is my beard on fire?"
The spellcaster nodded.
"THEN PUT IT OUT!"
He got a splash of cold water as the mage cast the spell.
At least it was out.
The mage asked, "Sir should we continue?"
Jard yelled at him, "OF COURSE!!!"
So they continued up.
Jard heard water roaring down, and suddenly was swept off his feet.

Satchiel had cast the spell, knowing they couldn't hide from it.
Satchiel spoke to Riohni, "Riohni, methinks we have to leave."
"And how did you come to that decision, oh wise one?"
"I came by that decision because there is an extremely bad-tempered captain who wants to torture me, pull out my guts and hang them on stakes, have my body parts strewn across the fortress, and my eyes for trophies. Oh, and hes coming up the tunnel too."
Riohni nodded sagely. "That is good logic. I agree."
"Shall we?"
"Oh yes, but first lets do something strange.."

Captain Jard and the party he had sent were strewn about in the tower cavern, when they heard another flood gushing down the tunnels.
The spellcaster had sensed something about it, because they yelled, "RUN!"
So they ran.
The flood of water, was water, but... not water.
Whatever the water touched, it burst to flames.
Captain Jard did not know he knew such colorful swear words until he spoke them.

Satchiel and Riohni left right after that. They flew over the fortress, and disappeared.
