"You think you could stop me, boy? You're an ant playfighting on a battlefield of giants! I'll scrape you off the heel of my boot and burn what's left to ash!" The rune in his eye flickered into being, black flooding through the iris. The rune burned yellow.
In a flash the snow around the man swarmed up in a spiraling pillar of cold wind and ice. Icicles rained down from within the frozen twister, piercing the ground in a line towards Adminius.

Adminius swung Caladbolg upward in an arc, a wave of fire washing over each of the immediately dangerous icicles and melting them. A now literal fire burned in his eyes. He sneered at the assassin, a sort of bloodlust washing over him. He had more control over his Magic, thanks to Azrael's advice, but it most certainly wasn't enough to defeat the assassin, no matter how badly he wanted to see the man on the ground. He had to calculate his everything move, and even then...
Then it occurred to him. That line in the ground. The light Magic had cut into the ground. If that was the case, then just maybe...
The Jozu on Caladbolg started to glow white, and the blade became engulfed in a blinding light. He'd onlyvtested the magic once before, making this an incredibly risky move, but it was all he had to go on.

Ezra flicked his gloved hand open a few times. Harmless sparkles of light puffed up, illuminating his face, suddenly somber. "I'd rather not talk about my past if it's alright with you."

''No, thats not all right with me in the least.'' He thought for a moment, putting what he wanted to say in order. ''If you choose not to say anything about it, theres nothing i can do about it, i suppose. But when i end up fighting with people, i like to know where they come from. To be perfectly honest, i dont trust you. And with an evasive act like that, youre not encouraging me to trust you either.''

"I'm not trying to be evasive, I just..." He sighed. "People tend to like me a lot less once they're all filled in on my history. If it's really that important, then yeah, whatever, I'll tell you. Just... try not to be pissed with me? You know, being what you are?" He gestured to Cultus's obvious Ghee heritage.

He folded his arms. ''Thats a ridiculous promise to make. But i'll promise not to act rashly.''

Ezra looked around the tavern to make sure no one else was watching, though in his semidrunken stupor he excluded Aoife from his search. He reached unsteady hands up to his hair and pulled it off of his ears. They were pointed, and curved in a shape not unlike butterfly wings, similar to Cultus's though the lobe of Ezra's ears were more pronounced. "I'm... I'm a halfer," he said, embarrassed.

He shrugged. To some of the other ghee tribes it might matter, but a matter like that was trivial to the tribe hed grown up in. He knew it was a matter of significance, but it was lost to him. ''So you had a parentage most people look down their nose at. Whats the rest of the story?''

"There's not much more to the story, I think. My dad took me to that little desert village, as far from the Ghee as we could get. I never heard from mom, but I got this from her when I was born." He fingered the ruby necklace he wore.

''If thats all that youve got to hide, you should stop.'' He leaned back and propped his feet against another stool, using the counter to lean against. ''If people dont like a halfer, thats their problem, not yours. And if they try to make it your problem then you can feel free to convince them otherwise. Even if the ghee dont respect the bloodline, they can all learn a healthy respect for your ability to smear them across the ground whenever you choose.''

Ezra thought for a moment. "That's probably true. I could wipe the floor with most people I know. But Charlotte always says I shouldn't attract attention if it's not needed."
He tilted to the left and steadied himself. If Ezra had one fatal flaw, it was that he had no ability to plan ahead when it came to his intake of substances. And now the alcohol was really kicking in. "But who caresh what Charlotte thinks, right?" He raised his voice. "I could beat every one of you in thish bar." He grinned at Cultus. "I got a shecret weapon. I call it the shparklefucker."
And with that he threw a compressed ball of light at the nearest gruff looking patron. It went off like a firework in the man's face, singeing his beard and aggravating his hangover induced headache. The man rose like a post-drunken bear and flipped his table onto that of another patron, starting what was doubtless the biggest bar fight in the history of Libertatem.

Aoife stood from her place at the bar and stomped over to Ezra and Cultus. "And what in the Gods' names made you think that that could have possibly been a good idea, Ezra?"

"I don't have to take anyone's shit if I don't wanna!" Ezra said, swerving to look at Cultus. "Isn't that right, buddy?"

Cultus thought a moment. That hadnt been much of his point at all, but... as long as Ezra got the basic idea... he grabbed the hand of a man about to punch him and threw him across the counter with a gratifying thud. ''Actually... this might just be a great idea'' he told aoife. ''Great chance to train. Maybe you should try aoife. Youve just been made a chosen. Gotta learn sooner or later.''

"No." she returned vehemently. "This was completely uncalled for, and I'll have no part of it." She looked back at Ezra. "And you're drunk out of your mind. I suggest we go."
