rolled on his back once he touched the ground.
    Lola had never seen Perim wield a sword. She thought he was strictly a mage. That won’t happen again , Lola swore. She spun back and dived again. She saw a bundle of fire bullets flying towards her. She tilted and dodged the bullets. More flew towards her. They were like arrows of flame, Perim shot from his rod. Lola dodged them in mid air and batted them aside and dived. “Pikan Ray!” She yelled. A red beam burning like lava flew from her rod. Perim used his sword; the beam hit his sword and absorb the spell. His sword is enchanted as if it were a magic rod , Lola assumed. Perim lashed his sword and line of red glowing energy left his weapon. Lola gasped and ascended dodging his attack. Had she continued to dive, he body would have been cleaved.
    I must be at a closer range to defeat him , she plotted and spun around. Lola decided to hover over the center of the roof. Perim saw that she was close to the ground so he ran towards her, launching missiles of fire from his rod. Lola deflected his missiles and absorbed some. She flapped her wings, they thudded blowing heavy winds. Her wings flapped faster and faster and blowing gusts at Perim. The man tried to grip on the tiles of the roof. The gust was strong and the wind got in his eyes, blinding him. Lola then shot bullets of fire from her rod but this time it was black fire. Fire like the ones she used to burned Perim’s apprentices.
    Perim was able to dodge a few but one hit him and burned his cloak. The black fire burned quicker than regular flames. He immediately removed his cloak and tossed it. “So you have also learned air magic with that demonic form of yours.” Perim commented and laughed as the wind lashed him. “You won’t be able to defeat me with a few new spells. You lack combat tactics.”
    Lola ignored him and continued to blow gust s of wind and launch black fire. She began to feel her mana slipping away. If she used too much she won’t be able to defeat Perim. She descends down to the roof and panted. “My mana is fading. I must find a way to kill this bastard quickly but he is too fast.” Lola gambled with her remaining strength and launched a bullet of black fire. Perim stood up and deflected her spell. The bullet hit a pinnacle of the mansion. Perim ran, his sword raised and burning red. He swung it and from it left a line of red glowing energy. A sharp beam that could cut much like a sword. Lola tried to fly and dodge the beam but it slices her left wing. She screamed in pain and her wing fell and shattered in a thousand feathers. Her dark powers slowly left her. She scurried back as she shot bullets of black flame. Perim ran towards her. He had quickly learned of her dark spells and deflected her black flames. “Try running away now!” He yelled.
    I can’t die here , Lola’s heart pounded. She might be stronger than him but Perim’s combat skills were greater. Lola was tired and panted. Never had she fought like this before. Her recent battles that she had throughout Alexandria were not as difficult as this. She had never faced anyone with a sword before. No one had ever cleaved off her wings in her dark form. This was a first time for Lola. Perim was close now. Right in front of her. He swung his sword and she dipped. His sword cleaves her wing. Lola screams and received at kick to her chest. She falls back and scurries away from Perim.
    “You must be a child of a fiend.” Perim told her, his voice cold and slow.  He paced towards her and Lola slowly scrawls away from him. “Had you not challenged me, your powers could have been of great use? It is still not too late my dear Lola. King Alexander will compensate us handsomely once he sees your dark powers.”
    “I will never work for you again.” Lola bellowed , she shed tears. “I will not be your slave. I will continue to taste freedom.”
    “I hope you like the taste of steel. Black harlot.” Perim insulted and drove his sword in
