3 Days Later
Ryker on the phone: Yo Hera your package is h-
Before he finishes his sentence Ryker feels someone in his apartment and charges a WindBurst spell.
Ryker: Who's There!
Hera: Woah woah woah it's just me Ryker.
Ryker: Wha- How the hell are you in my apartment?
Hera: Window.
Ryker: What do you mean window? This is the only window in my apartment.
Ryker then notices that she is sneaking out of his bathroom.
Hera: You have bath-
Ryker: Yeah I know you used the bathroom window. Why did you feel the need to sneak into my apartment and how did I not hear your phone ring.
Hera: That's not a problem. Where's my hat?
Ryker: I'm pretty sure that's a very serious problem.
Hera: How?
Ryker: What do you mean HOW! You broke into my apartment in the middle of the day and nobody saw you?
Hera: And?
Ryker: This isn't gonna be a normal occurrence ok. From now on you use my front door or if you need to go the weird route then use this window.
Hera: Ok whatever you say chief.
Ryker: Ugh, talking to you makes my brain hurt sometimes Hera.
Hera leaches onto Ryker terrifyingly quickly.
Hera: Wanna say that last part again?
Ryker: No thanks, I'm good.
Hera: That's what I thought. Where's the hat?
Ryker: On the couch.
Hera begins cutting the box open with her small kunai that has a purple magic crystal in the middle of the tang.
Ryker: I'm gonna go make some ramen so don't blow my couch up or anything.
Hera: I can't believe you would think that. You really think I'd blow up your frontroom?
Ryker: It was rhetorical? And no I don't
Hera: Of course I wouldn't.
Ryker: Because you can't use Explosion?
Hera: No.
Ryker: Whatever. You want anything Hera?
Ryker notices a weird look on Hera's face.
Ryker: Ummm, Hera? You alright?
Hera: It's purple.
Ryker: Really?
Hera: Do I look like I'm joking.
Ryker: I can send it back if you want me to.
Hera: I wouldn't be so cheap to do such a thing.
Ryker: Ok then don't complain.
Hera: Did you order it white?
Ryker: No ordered it red with a yellow stripe. Yes I ordered it white. But in my useless opinion, I think the purple matches pretty well with your Kunai and Dark purple eyes.
Hera jumps up with a weird amount of joy from the previous comment.
Hera: Do you really think so!
Ryker: I- uh yes I do Hera now can you please back up a little.
Hera: Clears throat* Let's test it out.
Ryker: What?
Hera: Now freeze in my eternal field of desp-
Ryker: Uh uh not happening in my house Hera. This is why I told you no staff.
Hera: Oh come on Ryker why did you have to ruin it like that?
Ryker: Because I'm a party pooper that likes to watch Chuunibyou's suffer. I also like to have a place to live so if you want to cast your Eternal Ice Field then go do it at the ThunderDome.
Hera: . . .
Ryker: What? I don't like that look on your face.
Hera: I got banned from using the ThunderDome.
Ryker: And you are sad about that? I would be excited as hell and laughing so hard I might be deemed a supervillain if I got banned for breaking the barrier.
Hera: Yeah, you're right. I broke the ThunderDome's barrier. Something that no one at this University has ever done before.
Ryker: That's more like it. Now would you mind telling me how you snuck into my house.
Hera: Ughh , seriously? It's not a big deal Ryker.
Ryker: Definitely is but Nevermind.
Hera: Btw Ryker, what rank are you?
Ryker: In what?
Hera: Wind Magic.
Ryker: Advanced 2.
Hera: Heh, really? I thought you trained a lot.
Ryker: Thanks. I usually train in Martial Arts instead of Magic. For some reason I can move fast and hit with pretty good precision I guess but my attacks don't do a damn thing. It's kinda annoying to be honest but it has it's perks.
Hera: I'm sure it does. You never get hit by anything.
Ryker: I can definitely be hit.
Hera: I doubt it, I can't think of a single time you've lost in hand to hand combat classes.
Ryker: It's my only talent besides scaring people so I guess I might as well be the best I can at it.
Hera: Honestly, when are you ever gonna stop being such a self hating introvert. It would be nice to see you actually happy for once.
Ryker: What? What do you mean by "actually happy"
Hera: I may act like an idiot because it's really fun but I'm definitely smart enough to see you faking your enjoyment. Try to be a little more prideful Ryker, It would do a lot for you I'm sure.
Ryker: I'm sure it would help me out somehow but I'd rather not talk about my personal life.
Hearing this, Hera immediately switches tones to a more serious and almost intimidating voice. Ryker notices this and sits down on his couch without hesitation. Ryker's known Hera for his entire life and has never heard her talk like this.
Hera: I think it's time we talked about what I'm really here for.
Ryker: . . .
Hera: I've got a really keen sense of smell as you know Ryker.
Ryker: I'm aware.
Hera: You smell of Miasma.
Ryker: What? I'm not a demon though.
Hera: It's not like Demonic Miasma, it almost smells like a type of magic.
Ryker: You can smell magic? How does that work?
Hera: No I can't but if magic had a smell, specifically shadow magic. I'd say it smells like the scent I got from you a few days ago.
Ryker: I want to ask if you're kidding but I can tell that you're not. Do you know what it could be?
Hera: I don't know, I've never seen anything like it or read anything about stuff like this.
Ryker: Maybe it's my Intervention.
Hera: Don't tell me that everyone's convinced you that it's actually cursed.
Ryker: It's that, I just think that it could have something to do with me being the only mortal to have it. Ever.
Hera: Did you feel that?
Ryker: Feel what?
Hera: It's probably nothing.
Ryker: Oh god don't say that, that always means it's something.
Hera: What are your ranks?
Ryker: Advanced2 Wind, Intermediate1 Earth and Beginner2 Fire.
Hera: That's your Earth rank? but you use it in combat so much.
Ryker: I don't take advancement tests so I could be somewhere around Advanced for all I know.
Hera: What! But you could be learning so many new spells and stuff, what are you doing you idiot!
Ryker: Being the lazy and self gratifying person that I am. What about you Hera, what rank have you reached so far?
Hera: Heh, I thought you'd never ask. I am currently Witch 2 in Water magic and Intermediate 3 in shadow magic.
Hera says this quite proudly as if showing off to Ryker which doesn't work out to well.
Ryker: So you learned shadow magic. What for?
Hera: So I can mix it with my Ice spells and make them explode with freezing cold flames.
Ryker: That actually works? I thought you were joking about that before.
Hera: Nope. in a serious tone*. We may need it soon though if I'm gonna be honest.
Ryker: Why is that? And why are you so concerned.
Hera: Since we started talking, the scent has grown more and more.
Ryker: How bad is it now?
Hera: Almost unbar-
Ryker: MOVE!
