Part 4: Taste of the Flame

"Before we go through with this, let's say hello to our host for this party~..." Malleus chuckled as he turned to greet Rollo, but his smile fell when he saw in Rollo's arms-

"Charlotte!"

"Let go of me!" She growled as she struggled against Rollo's grip. He had an arm around her shoulders so she couldn't escape as he looked at the group with a smarmy smirk.

"So....You made it here, it's very brave and commendable of you, but very stupid!" He laughed cruelly as Crimson Flowers began to cover the corners of the tower.

"Release Luchessi! She has nothing to do with this!" Azul demands.

"Au contraire, Ashengrotto, she does!" Rollo fired back, his arm gripping her keep her close to him. She whimpered as she was pulled closer. Malleus could hear her pain as he tried not to step closer, but to save her from his enemy was all to great. "You see, Miss Luchessi here has more potential than meets the eye. I thought she was a regular person with no powers....but upon further inspection, she does! I took her for granted...and after hearing her story, I've decided to make her the only exception to my silent hatred for magicians and the like!"

"Magic is a power that we've built up for ourselves. Without it, what are we? Magic is a viable asset to our lives. Would any be truly be happy if it was taken from them?" Azul asked.

"Magic as an asset? You're wrong....it's vile! It a dangerous power that lured people into false senses of security!" Rollo bites back. "It's disgusting to see how you can be found as fascinating to others...dependent and enjoying your prowess! You are the monsters here! I'm not! I am not afraid if I lose my own magic power!"

"We know...not only do you wish to erase our own magic power and from every mage around the world, but yourself as well...but no matter your reasons why...we will not allow that to come to fruition." Malleus declared. "In the name of all who have sacrificed themselves...in the name of Night Raven and in the name of the Briar Valley, and my personal grudge against you for stealing my Titania...we will snuff out your tainted spark of fire!"

"Very well then." Rollo nods. "I'm not afraid of exhausting out three mages, let alone three powerful dorm leaders of Night Raven like yourselves, till your too weak to fight back. So do your best~!" He smirked as he stepped forward, encasing Charlie in a circle of the fire flowers. "You will stay there, darling. And watch as you watch your friends die."

"Guys! Be careful!" Charlie shouts as Rollo brandished his staff. Azul, Idia and Malleus took their positions as they prepared to fight.

Shooting off multiple spheres of power at the group, Rollo ducked and dodged each attack or even bouncing back a few, forcing them to fall to the floor in hopes of not getting hit. At one point, Azul got hit by one attack that send him to the floor. They were clearly fighting a losing battle.

"Agh!"

"Azul!" Charlie shouts in worry.

"Hahaha! These are the supposed Students of Night Raven that everyone envies? And Malleus Draconia, the fearsome dragon prince who makes everyone quake by just his name? Is that the best you can do?!" Rollo cackled.

"Ugh....he still has the nerve to spew venom at us!" Malleus murmured, feeling some strength waning.

"Same....but I've used up all my magic power...I don't think I can keep going....!" Azul coughed, feeling loopy.
