As Jonathan walked into the meeting hall he looked into the eyes of the Mage council, wise men he'd known for centuries. Ha! He thought a bunch of ridiculous fools! This was a complete waste of time plus the fact that the two most powerful keeps were under attack right now. Jonathan tried to hold back his power, damn it! The fucking Crystal was more active than it should be what the hell was going on?
If he lost control in here a lot of good people were going to die, though they were mostly old damn fools! Walking to the questioning box he felt the power dampening field they had set up, Ha! What a joke they were all dead! Jonathan shook his head, this was bad a personality was starting to emerge from the crystal, shit it was strong!
With clenched teeth Jonathan warned the council to clear the building, alarmed they stared at Jonathon seeing the sweat start to collect on his fore head. As quickly as they could everyone left the room except Tom Timmins, Ben, Tom's aid, Pompoff, his son Reginald, and the leader of the Craig Clan. His father's aide joined the other's, leaving Tom, Ben and Jonathan alone that is 'til Vidon stepped in.
"Ah good! we can kill all of you bastard's here it will make taking your wives and potential wife that so much sweeter." The aide shouted. "Rinora to me," he shouted, amazed when the crystal refused to move. "Rinora! Come to your master!" Still it refused to move.
Then a strange eerie echoing voice spoke from the crystal, "Silly man! No one is the master of Rinora, had you realized this you could have ruled the world with my aid. NO MORE!" A strange light blasted the aide into the wall.
Standing, he again tried to call and control the crystal.
"Go away little boy," the voice cried once again smashing the aide into the wall then began to beat him on the floor like a rag doll.
Ben and Tom had backed to the door, "Jonathan, release it all, it's time!" Ben shouted.
"NO! Damn it if I do everyone could die!" Jonathan cried.
"You have to, your power if far above the Rinora!" Ben replied.
"What this pup? I admit his mind is strong, far stronger than I've ever felt, but his power is barely above the fool there. Come pup you think you have the power to defeat me?" The voice said as it reached out and grabbed Lana!
"NO! Release her now! Before I destroy you! I cannot control it if you bring it out!" Jonathan was straining to maintain control.
Laughing the spirit in the crystal began to squeeze Lana causing her to scream. Finally the anger building to a point he no longer cared, the wild magic began to slip from Jonathan. At first the spirit only laughed then it actually began to get worried as more and more magic slipped from the locks Jonathan had erected.
"I SAID RELEASE HER!" Jonathan screamed, causing Lana to drop from its grasp, the force blew the spirit and the crystal through the wall.
Jonathan rose, floating after the spirit they heard him say to take care of Lana, as he might not be back.
In the building Lana opened her eyes seeing her father holding her, tears started to fall from her eyes, "Jonathan you'd better return," she whispered, "you have to finish teaching me to be a proper lady of my standing."
Jonathan could feel the strain on his body, the wild magic wanted to do as it wanted, years of holding it back had prepared him for this day, but he knew he was finished when this was through, the council, hell his father wouldn't stand for him being alive. Landing Rinora had finally emerged from the crystal though not fully solid yet. Smiling Jonathan thought well, we'll just have to kill you before that happens. Relaxing he felt more and more power flow through him, good a little more and he will be nothing to me.
Rinora was looking around with huge eyes, where had that bastard Mage gotten that much power. Then he saw Jonathan floating toward him, he had harnessed the wild magic? Ah! This would be so much sweeter when he killed the pup and took the knowledge from him. Rising Rinora tried to send several attacks at Jonathan, who merely swept them away as easily as a towel. Rinora's eyes grew large; there was no way that the magic had made him that strong!
Smiling Rinora feigned an attack then cut Jonathan's arm.
Jonathan advanced, "is that the best you can do? I admit it was a good try," as Rinora watched the cut healed far faster than it should have.
Smiling Rinora started to slash at Jonathan, after a few minutes Jonathan was covered with deep cuts, slashes. and gashes which healed almost as fast as he was cut.
Pissed now Rinora began to gather in energy building his power he'd show this pup of a mage what power was!
"You know, I'd not been able to control the wild magic had it not been for you, so I guess I have you to thank for that," Jonathan smiled, "though you do realize that I have to destroy you, you touched Lana and though I know that she and I can never be, you did give me more time with her, so I've decided to destroy you as quickly as I can. The thing is though the more you fight me? The much more painful it will be." Jonathan sighed.
"NO! I am the all powerful Rinora! Neither you nor any other power can destroy me!" Rinora screamed at Jonathan.
Again Jonathan sighed, snapping his fingers the crystal cracked, the spirit began to scream. "You see I told you, your power is much lower than me now, good bye though I may join you soon."
Jonathan began to crush the crystal, the spirit slashing at Jonathan's throat, chest anywhere it could till there was a crushing crack, the spirit screamed one last time then burst into flame, then was gone.
