[Jared Todd]

This continues my comic on the fanart thread.. >.>'.. which isn't finished. But it's basically what I think would happen if the realm of magic worked in the way I think of magic. Negatives and positives.

The story starts with RM, but ends with a different character. <<<<< this is a lie.

"Excuse me?? If I were anything, I would be an apple, Fighter! Apples are deeper than grapes. Apples have cores. Stems. They are complex. You've spend most of this adventure with me. You should know me better. I am, on a full and lateral scale, dissapointed in you, Fighter.." I closed my eyes to him and turned.
"whhwrple trr szzzzzlxx......"
Raising a brow, obviously assuming I had just blew his mind so hard it was climaxing to an explosion, I opened one eye, and cocked my head to him.
Where he stood was now a single red wax candle, a bright yellow flame dancing in it. I had almost jumped back, obviously shocked by what was behind me, and turned fullstop. As I turned, I felt my cape rub against something sturdy, and turned yet again. Behind me and the candle were three more candles, a green wax candle with a green flame to my left, and yellow with red flames to my right. I knew what was across from the yellow flame before I recognized its color. I was correct, a blue candle with an orange flame. The one I had just been facing. Everything else around me was grey and blurred, color and brightness torn out of my surroundings.
"Fire, air, earth, and water..." I mumbled to myself.
"In spiritual colors," a soft, but heavy voice spoke up to my left, "there are seven elementals. The closest elementals to the beginning of the spectrum are red as earth, orange as water, yellow as fire, green as air."
My head turned slightly to my left. I could barely see the figure, squinting beneath my +1 red felt hat,
"Yes, and speaking in the contexts of the four elements, red represents fire, yellow represents earth, blue represents water, and green represents wind..." I looked around me at the candles and their flames, then back at the blurry figure.
The figure's eyes smiled, but made no hint of smiling through the mouth.
"So I see you don't dissapoint in your knowledge," the figure stepped closer, and came into focus faster than I expected. It was... me! The imposter tilted his head to me, "You look surprised.. Don't you like me?"
I looked down at the blue candle, and focused on it. What was happening?
"Red Mage, I'm here to teach you a lesson or two about magic."
At such an atrocity of sentence, I cocked my head back up at the imposter, and glared.
"There isn't anything I don't know about magic. I take that as an insult."
The form tossed his curly white hair back slightly, and put his hands together, point finger up. A ball of light surfaced above his finger, a beautiful shining light.
"What is this?" he cocked his head at me like I had. He was mocking me.
"You don't honestly expect me to answer you," I turned.
There was a long-drawn pause. He was obviously waiting for an answer.
"... fine," I sighed out of my mask, and turned back to the doppelganger, ".. I'll play your game. It's white magic."
"Yes, but what else?"
I rose a brow,
"What else? That's all there is to it. White magic has the power to heal, black magic has the power to harm. You're building a power of healing between your fingers."
"Wrong," the form smiled with my hazel eyes again, and put his hand forward, still holding the power above his finger. It slowly started to rise from his finger and bubble, melt. Quicker than my reflexes could match, the melting ball of power exploded at me with a powerful and heavy blast, knocking me over the circle (more like a square..) of candles, to the ground behind them, with a thud. I felt my cloth armor stick to me.
"Wh-what was that..?!" I stared at the imposter wide-eyedly.
He, himself looked confused.
".. that was supposed to be an air attack... not a water attack..."
I rose my brow, and instantly put my hands forward to build the same attack, determined to give him a taste of his own medicine.
"You diffused the attacking power of an ice attack, and used it against me as a white water attack.."
The form stepped back.
"You aren't the one that I was assigned to help.."

and so ends RM's part. >.>'.... <<<<< totally a lie.

[edit: dammit, I said green represents earth, but it doesn't, it represents wind on both elemental scales. >.<]
