Chapter 6 - Another Morning part 2

On the steps of the main house a woman with a dark black shredded tank top and short torn skirt, this is Sasha, one of the head witches, a punk rock female with a flaming red short mohawk that leans to the side. She takes a drink from a water pouch and if you look closely there's steam coming off her pierced lower lip, the boys drool over what's happening.

"AHhhh that hit the spot" she starts to walk down the steps as trails of water burn up to her sharp toothed smile."hiya kiddies it's time to learn something dangerousss" she stands in front of Outis inches from the kids she looks down around them and see's Vatu and puts her hand on his head rustling it. "Everyone out the way!" she steps to the remains of the stump test and begins to chant " the scarlet scaled horror of the 6th hell loan me you're power "Rashka-naga-nanasha" fire forms from her hands like moving red oil it slithers out, she raises her hand over her head and forms a giant fireball it grows with a strange mucus looking embryo its heat is brutal some drips to floor and it melts the ground, it reaches to the size of a boulder in seconds then "Look at This" she screams throwing the giant orb at the target. It burn through the air picking up more and more speed

"BOOM"

It hits, engulfing far more than the massive target left by vatu.

"this is what it means to be a witch and you will learn that this, is what you all are"

As the flames go down it reveals the wood is not only on fire but melting, the wood is actually melting.

"Incredible miracles is what we do, Now time for the next lesson PROMO!" Outis say's to the class.

When she lifts her hand and green sparks begin to pop out, which quickly burst into a green fire. This is the first fire spell our coven mastered the fire of self, of humanity, now get the dummies and line up" she clutch's her hand with the fire.

Out in the mud pits with human sized straw puppets lined in a row far apart each kid takes their spot and sticks out a hand. The kids are all serious and stall not to be the first one to cast the spell. "the spell promo is all about envisioning the reactions of fire, first the birth a few sparks, then fuel pour your soul into the flame and hold the beast with your will and Shout out " PROMO" Sasha shouts in Outis's ear "Kids when you cast promo think about your whole head all your memories and self setting on fire but then it's in your hand" She puts a finger gun to her head "bang that how i do it, burn your feeling".

All the kids instantly start to focus, Taking this very seriously when someone shouts.

"PROMO"

A little light blue weak fireball poofs out of Quilo's hand, slowly it waddles through the air. Everyone leans over to look at the what care from that adorable cry with wide eyes and lips tight trying not to laugh

Quilo leans forward and stretch's her hand out standing on one foot trying her hardest to fuel the flame but.

Sound of air deflating from a ball fills the silence POOF it vanishes far before it gets close to the target. Devastated Quilo freezes in place overcome with despair. "O my come here my little Quilo you aren't suited to these kinds of exercises" Outis goes to pick up the stiff posing girl and takes her to the porch embracing the girl like a baby.

"Now everyone else begin"

Five of us in line we all focus on casting the spell but for some reason I'm super nervous it not like i can't do it it's hard to concentrate on just myself, everyone is so intimidating

"PROMO" Reyna cheerfully shouts, Out come a bright red flame orb the size of a basketball.

"HAHAAAHA, yes this is my SOUL SET A BLAZE, PROMO!!!" Reyna pushes the fire forward when seconds later it implodes, spouting out a bunch of sparks looking like a child's fireworks. Reyna's jaw hits the floor in embarrassment.

"You skipped a part Reyna" speaks Outis "YES MOTHER, I will try again"

Reyna straightens up and sticks out his hand. Reyna did it but he couldn't hold his power together as Vatu thought to himself, struggling to feel the fire.

"promo" BOOM on of the dummies top half was engulfed in flame, I couldn't see you shot it out but when i looked to the side it seemed like it was the tan boy with a weirdly shaved head everything but the front was bald but it was clearly him to cast it, smoke was coming from the palm of his hand. "did it hurt" asked the long haired blonde girl

"SOYO" shouted Sasha "if you want to know if it hurts, cast the spell, in FACT!everyone stop" Vatu sighs in relief.

"You hesitate and I can see it, you all worry about pain, competition, or self worth and YOU NEED TO STOP! Right now the only thing you should want is to cast the spell otherwise"

"Sasha that's enough" Outis interrupts

"she's right children focus, this is serous and a mockery of our history to do so, now let's try this again but everyone stop and watch Soyo"

"huuh but but" Soyo whimpers in distress

"Don't worry Soyo most can't think about others when they're on fire so, Set yourself on fire" Sasha gently says with a smile.

"uh-uhh okay" Shaking, she puts out her hand and tries to focus, shivering in fear. "don't be afraid Soyo, fire is liberating not just pain and destruction its freedom" says Sasha

"To help with this, stop thinking of it as fire, think of it as your soul, a flowing natural form of energy" Sasha tells Soyo. Soyo thinks in her head Okay , it's my soul. First, think of the sparks in my hand (little green and blue sparks start to come out of the center of her palm) then fuel it. It's my soul, it's my emotions and everything fueling the fire. The trickling sparks increase like a faucet being slightly turned all the way, sparks pour out like a hose from her hand when it starts flowing up, green aura is seen surrounding her flowing sparks begin to warp around into a giant dome. Focus Soyo thinks to herself hold it together as the circling trails of sparks around her begin to shrink and become thicker changing into fire it all coalesces into a a massive a bright green and blue fireball Soyo emanating a huge amount of aura but looks calm.

"Promo" she opened her eyes to see the giant fireball the size of Sasha's and it slowly flies forward, so happy she did it all that is seen is a big smile illuminated by her green fireball.

"Excellent Soyo that was a perfect example of promo" Sasha put her hand Soyo's shoulder "But" the fire ball only five feet away it still slowly moves forward. Sasha take a big breath and blows at her fireball like it was a birthday candle easily the fireball caves in from her breath dispersing, "You have so little heat, very little ambition and grit" Sasha bends down to her eye level "you did great Soyo your reservoir of power and how it flows out is feat in its own" Sasha stands up "Now IT'S TIIIIIIIIIMEE... For Vatu haaahahahahahahaa. It's you're turn vatu"

The small pale boy with his hand already out closes his eyes and Thinks.

"the sparks are My Will the birth of life" outside his palm orange sparks burst all around in front of him, multiple sparks pour out around.

"NEXT next is ahhh feeling lets, LET'S EXPLODE MY HEAD" Vatu opens eyes with the laugh of a mad man the sparks erupt out like a furnace huge black and orange flames rage as they spew out of cuts in Vatu's arm, slowly burning and getting hotter. Everyone freaks out and takes a step back, Reyna falls flat on his ass. The fire was not that hot but it pushed him back and pressed Reyna on the floor.

Vatu groans in pain but his sinister smile is unwavering he grabs his hand pulling up as it moves out of control, Fire screams as Vatu sees what he can do when Sasha starts to run over.

"stop" Outis puts out the palm of her hand "He just started"

The Black flames grow larger and blisters violently down Vatu''s arm in pain he's brought to one knee "HAAAHAAAA i can do this ehhh" Vatu struggles to point at the target but he brings it down.

"promo-thius" all of the wild flames suddenly extinguish and pull in the center of vatu's palm to just explode in a flash of orange fire and sparks, Vatu's side hidden by residual flames but goes out when he falls back on the floor revealing his right arm, skinny, black ,coal textured mess the rest of him only slight burns. everyone but Reyna runs to see how's he doing Sasha stays right where she is and Outis slowly walks to the boy.

with the targets there appears to be 3 untouched dummies one on fire and a pile of melted glob and ash.
