Facing my oldest and newest friends, I chuckled," Well, you all want to team up on me."
Slyrak exclaimed," Hell yeah, we do!"
Shyri spoke," I am sitting this one out. I have no desire to be thrown around here by my lover."
I shrugged," Guilty as charged; you are more of a healer in all honesty."
Graveonth smirked," You are still small, though."
Xisu gulped," Graveonth, bro, he is still hundreds of times stronger than you."
Cyvin grinned," I have always wanted to spar with you, Xyverinos. Are we allowed to reach into our equipollence?"
I shrugged," Sure, why not? It probably won't help much anyway."
Typhoon immediately launched a powerful surge of lightning from her jaw. I snorted in amusement, flicking my tail as it parted around me and into the other side of the wall.
I scolded," I have lightning, wind, light, and fire. Meaning those elements have no effect."
Eniheih grinned," Oh really, what about earth and water."
A massive wave of water came rushing towards me as I sighed," Fair point," Now grinning," But you forgot one thing. I have the power of the sun."
Releasing a wave of my blue-white flames, I evaporated the water that Spirit sent at me in a single go.
Graveonth and Eniheih slammed their claws on the ground as spikes of the earth came rushing at me; golden energy surrounded me in a sphere, both blocking the spears of the earth and destroying them.
Suddenly, Slyrak appeared out of nowhere in the sphere and drove his talon towards me, battering him away quickly. I chuckled, seeing how he did that," You used magic to counteract my magic. Or no, you teleported into the sphere with me just as I expanded it."
He sighed," Your skill at figuring out what happens amid battle is as terrifying as ever. Are you sure you aren't using your battle or future sight?"
I grinned," Of course, it is no fun fighting you guys with it. I would be three or four steps ahead if I did. Either way, this may be the last training session we can do for a while."
Xisu released a powerful wind wave as I used a spear of light to cut it in half or separate it. Seldra finally attacked by using a small tornado. I quickly wrestled control of the tornado and dispelled it. Both Slyrak and Cyvin lunged at me, flames engulfing their talons. A wave of rock and water was behind them as I smiled lightly and released a fraction of my power; wind ripped from me, sending them flying as they all crashed into the walls.
Flexing my wing, I reigned in my power," Sorry about that; I am not entirely used to my power."
Cyvin growled," We have no choice."
Typhoon snarled," It seems so."
Enihieh grinned," Let's see what he can do."
Shyri mutters," Oh dead, Xyv, be careful."
Deadpanned," Five equipollences against me."
Slyrak protested," Six, you idiot."
Raising a brow," Idiot, Seldra is knocked out. Five."
Seldra groaned," I don't want to fight."
I sighed," Never mind, Seldra, you are lazier than a bull-frogged pig."
Spirit spoke analytically," Well, you are stronger than us, Xyverinos. Graveonth Xisu, you will support us with attacks of your own. We will take point."
Graveonth nodded," Understood."
All six released the power of equipollence, a blazing fire, a giant swirling tide of water, a Giant pillar of rocks, small twisters, a small hurricane, and an inferno of wind and flames. Cyvin, Spirit, Enihieh, Seldra, Typhoon, and Slyrak.
I chuckled," This should be fun. Let's see how far you guys have come compared to me."
'Slyrak, I know, is the strongest of them despite being the son of a fire wyvern, no a phoenix fire wyvern, and a normal wind wyverness.'
Sharpening my feathers as blue flames caused the temperature to spike, I flung the flames as both Cyvin and Slyrak, in their equipollent state, took the blow as Cyvin swore," Those flames still hurt. But I guess that is to be expected. Our flames are much, much weaker."
Slyrak growled," Oh, I know."
Tendrils of water hardening to ice shot at me as I expelled a sphere of flames, evaporating the water and ice. Enihieh's rocky outcrop sent forward. Spikes of the earth at me, Graveonth, who was in the background, assisted by and, to my surprise, a wave of lava as I stood stunned for half a second and barely evaded the spears of rock and was slammed by the wave of lava.
I growled in minor pain as it hardened around me. Graveonth cheered," You were saying Xisu."
Releasing a massive spike of power, I blew the entire imprisonment off me. With my advanced regeneration, I was already healing from the burns that the lava gave me.
Slyrak's inferno form made a sound that I concluded was him clucking his tongue," Damn, so this is his nearly full strength now."
I smiled lightly and shook my head," Not even close to it; this is maybe fifteen percent of it."
I hardened my gaze," Let us continue."
Disappearing at sound-breaking speed, I smashed into both Spirit and Enihieh forms, releasing an electrical current into Spirit, electrocuting him as he reverted to his standard form unconscious. For Enihieh, I forced enough damage with my wings, talons, and tail, using the Wind Dance battle style that Innurth once taught me.
As I turned to Xisu and Graveonth, she was sent into a wall," You guys are next."
Teleporting behind them, I slammed my wings into their heads, also knocking them out."
The actual combat was all done in about five seconds. Cyvin howled in anger as I forced all of them to freeze as I felt all of them struggle against my power," I think I win."
Slyrak grunted," Dammit, I forgot he can do this."
Typhoon hissed," What is he doing?"
Shyri said," He is forcing you under his will; as the progenitor of our species and abilities, he can force us under his will, which is why you can't move."
Slyrak laughed," I remember right after he just reached Seraphim rank, he held back my sister, mother, and some of her friends for a few moments. He was six then, and I know how strong his willpower is. So yeah, I surrender."
Everyone followed his suit as Cyvin lamented," You are far too powerful. We might have had more chance if you hadn't reached equipollence."
Grinning lightly," Maybe."
Shyri walked over to Graveonth and the others, and they regained consciousness with her skill at healing using wind.
Turning away, I sighed," I will see you guys later; the battle is beginning in three and a half days, and I think it is about time to take my place as a part of the council."
Slyrak chuckled," About time."
Disappearing in a flash of light, I appeared in the council chambers just as the Council Members walked in. Rykyr, Shirlan, and Elder Storm all smirked at me as they all took their places in their spots. Grinrag looked at me," Pardon the rudeness," But why is Xyverinos here" I knew he was just trying to keep up a certain appearance.
Looking at him dead in the eye," Let me answer that; I think it is about time I take my place on the council."
He froze as the other council members whispered among themselves as I continued," We believe it would be best if I joined the council for two reasons; the first, I am Queen Shondrass's heir to her throne. The second I know the most about the enemy."
Shirlan spoke," All in favor?"
Elder Storm, Shirlan, Rykyr, and Grinrag all smirked and spoke," Yes."
The others all looked at a loss as this entire thing was sprung on them from nowhere. Finally, however, they had no choice but to agree just as we planned.
Elder Storm smirked," Welcome to the council Xyverinos."
I was internally chuckling as I disappeared, only to reappear on the chair," Thank you, Elder Storm."
