["I think we finally lost him..."] Says Miekka, looking back from where they came.
["What was his problem? And what was with that freaky magic?"] Asks Vomva, hypocritically.
Miekka pauses.
Vomva looks at him, he's looking spaced out now.
["Are you okay?"] She asks.
["Do... you think he was telling the truth?"] He questions.
["What do you mean?"] She asks.
["Could we really... have potential?"] He questions.
["But... mom said our bloodline sucks...."] She points out.
Miekka stops walking and turns around, beginning to sprint back from where they came.
["What are you doing?!"] Vomva yells out, chasing after him.
["I need to speak to Falu!"] He says begrudgingly, sprinting back to the bridge.
Arriving back at the bridge, they both look down, but Falu is nowhere to be found.
Their heads fall short and they turn around, Miekka grips onto Vomva's hand and he begins leading her back, murmuring something to himself.
Vomva looks confused and upset, but she restraints herself from talking.
The sun is setting as they approach their house, they both look defeated, the spark of hope they received from Falu, had been quickly put out.
Entering the house, they hear their mother laughing delightfully and talking to somebody.
Entering the kitchen, there sits Falu on their mother's lap, eating an enormous bowl of rice in a hurried manner.
Their mother notices Miekka and Vomva enter.
["Oh my, you kids are back!"] She says delighted.
["M-mom... why is Falu sitting in your lap?!"] Miekka asks worryingly.
["I found miss Mina while i was looking around for food!"] Falu says.
["Isnt he just so cute?"] Mina declares.
["I just decided to let him stay for a little while!"] She announces.
["W-what?!"] Both Miekka and Vomva yell out dramatically.
Chirp, chirp...
["It's been days since Falu moved in, to be honest, its weird. I keep catching him using his magic like its no big deal. What's his problem?"] Miekka thinks to himself.
Vomva is watching Falu, and walks up to him.
["Why are you using your magic at nothing?"] She asks. Falu looks down at her, and then back at the flames on his hands.
["Your power will only grow if you keep using it. So if im constantly using my magic, it has no choice but to grow stronger from the fatigue!"] He says excitedly, seemingly eager to teach her what he knows.
["Does it really work that way?"] Asks Miekka, walking into their converstation.
["...Yeah. Once you push out of your comfort zone, you'll improve."] He pauses.
["It's also gonna push your comfort zone further. The things you're scared of doing will become your new normal."] He says.
["Oh my, look at you Falu, so sophisticated already!"] Whispers Mina to herself, listening in on their converstation.
["I dont understand why you guys refuse to train seriously. Your powers are seriously wicked!"] Says Falu.
["Come on, lets go outside."] Falu demands, grabbing onto Miekka's and Vomva's hand, dashing off with them.
Yelp!
He begins leading them into an open area, where they can freely test out their powers.
["Alright, come at me!"] Falu demands, setting himself alight, shrouded in white flames.
Miekka and Vomva both step back, but dont back down.
Miekka whispers something in Vomva's ear before they both run in opposite directions.
["Ha! You guys think you can handle me if you split up?!"] Falu says maniacally, laughing and deciding to chase after Miekka.
["Dont underestimate me!"] Yells Miekka, Summoning twelve swords around him.
He begins launching an array of attacks on Faru, but his swords are quickly shattered once they are touched by Falu's flames.
["Whats wrong with you? You put so little power in your swords."] Falu says, pausing.
["Instead of trying to summon multiple swords, try to summon one powerful one!"] Falu says.
Miekka steps back and nods. Taking a deep breath, he begins trying to concetrate his magic onto a single point.
["Enfanisou! Sword of the lightning servant!"] Miekka screams and falls backwards, landing butt-first, both of them getting lost in the smoke of the sword summoning.
After the smoke clears, Miekka gazes upwards, infront of him stands proud a longsword, its hilt is dark blue and the edges are rigid, Ominous lightning is sparking off of it.
["Mwaha! That's it! I feel real power coming off of that!"] Falu exclaims, rushing in headfirst towards Miekka, who quickly grabs onto the sword and dashes forward towards him.
Before they meet, Miekka slams the sword on the ground, letting out a huge wave of lightning in Falu's direction.
Caught off guard, Miekka manages to disrupt the white flames covering Falu's body. Using the oppurtunity presented to him, he dashes forward, slicing on Falu's leg and getting a hit in.
Falu falls onto one knee and quickly begins healing his leg.
["I did it! I won!"] Miekka exclaims, happily jumping up and down.
["Thats not how it works here!"] Falu exclaims, quickly condensing his entire magic onto one hand and landing an uppercut on Miekka, knocking him out cold.
["This is a neccessary lesson Mikky."] Falu says nonchalantly.
["Speak for yourself!"] A voice shouts from the distance, turning around, Falu sees Vomva holding onto a bow and arrow, pointed directly at him.
["You took too long! I managed to condense my entire magic onto one arrow!"] Vomvo yells, firing the arrow at Falu.
Falu tries dodging it, but to his suprise, it explodes before it actually lands.
Caught off guard, hes knocked out cold, landing next to Miekka.
["Oh no! Way too close!"] Vomva says, running to the two boys, worried she might have hurt them.
Kneeling down next to them, she hears Falu and Miekka both giggling.
["I guees my sister outsmarted us both."] Miekka says.
["I wasn't expecting her to be sitting there charging up a giant bomb! Ahha!"] Falu exclaims, looking happy.
Vomva picks up two rocks and shoves them in their mouths.
["You guys are jerks!"] She yells out, the rocks exploding in small but non lethal explosions.
