A small part of Loki wanted to comment that he had no intention of duelling with or attempting to take Claire. He knew what his Lord had meant by securing passage to her; not for nothing was he the cleverest and most talented student Durmstrang had recieved in over fifty years. However, his intelligence, whilst mildly offended, knew better than to contradict Danawi. He bowed his head in deference, a small smile tracing his lips, though it would have been hard to distinguish it as such. The boy Ark... he was annoying him. Still, Loki would not be a part of the petty infighting that Danawi and Isaac had mentioned. He was, and always had been, above such things. Still, Loki was now stuck with him for the operation, along with the dark girl Adana and the demon Isaac. Loki looked sidelong at the blind demon. What did he have planned for Rose...? At the mention of the forest lycans Loki nodded, and kept his response brief.
"I shall contact them for you, my Lord."
And if there are no further questions, I will begin to teach you the ways of my power...
Ah, yes, power. This is what Loki had been waiting for. he bowed his head low again in a sign of respect, and looked towards the cloaked figure in anticipation.

[glow=maroon,2,300]*...Damn, if even one of these kids misused his powers...* Alex's face showed worry, though it couldn't be seen by others unless they were to wrench her head up. *Maybe I should offer him that herb I have in pill form that I'll be taking...* Alex thought, trying to be as discreet as possible with her thoughs since she was sure there were those here who could read such things. She was honored to be going on offense with Lothani - what a great time that would be - but she was still worried. She motioned another bow as acknowledgment of her Lord's words and moved to lean against a tree. She stood there, worried for her Lord, and fiddled with the small bag of the special herb ied neatly to her waist, waiting for further instruction.[/glow]

Arvath nodded, listening to Danawi relay his plan. Claire would not be faught, he hadn't seen her magci, but he had heard enough about it here. The school would only fall if she gave into Rose willingly. He was sure the demon Isaac could take care of that. But his head whipped around when he heard Ark speak.
" You dare disobey a direct order from the Lord?" he hissed. "It is a great honor to be clearing the path for the Headmistress's downfall, and you refuse it for your own personal vandetta!! What other evidence is needed that he does not know what side he is on?"

Isaac rolled his milky pupils towards the sky, as if to ask the Higher Powers 'Why Me?' before he strode over to Arvath. With one hand, he picked the boy up by his throat and slammed him bodily against the trunk of a tree. He leant really close, his voice a harsh, grating whisper in Arvath's ear.
"The way I see it, you arent in a position to make any form of accusations. I advise that you keep your thoughts to yourself from now on, because if I hear one more accusation pass your lips, I WILL rip your tongue out and feed it to the Lycans."
With a minimal-effort twist of his body, Isaac tossed Arvath away. "That goes for the rest of you. The next person who starts making accusations, WILL have their tongue ripped out and their mouth cauterized shut with EXTREME pain." He snarled to the rest of the group. His eyes glowed with demonic fury as one hand became wreathed in demon flame,
"Dont tempt me."

Ark opened his mouth to send a couple of...intresting comments to Arvath but immediately shut it when Issac talked. Note to Self: Never piss off Issac he thought, making a mental note.

Billie watched Isaac's antics with Arvath, and frowned slightly. Arvath deserved it, yet........ She would have to remember never to piss off Isaac, as she was sure he would keep his promise.

Danawi closed his eyes tightly, blocking out the squabbles of his followers - he understood how testy they were, standing on the brim of a new, evil destiny... but nevertheless, there was no time for this. If they wanted to squabble, they could do it while battling, and get slain for their own foibles. But it would not ruin what he had been trying to achieve for so long.
"Ark, you must do as you feel necessary - if I forbid you from doing as you wish you may disobey me, and... well, I wouldn't want to have to kill you. So go, do what you need to do. Morgan, please attend Loki and Adana to the Headmistresses Lair. The rest of you, decide alone what position you wish to procure for yourself. Either way, you will probably be in a line of fire. And now... for my powers."
Danawi smiled. "Each one of my powers is tied to my will - unlike most 'gifted' individuals, I have numerous powers, so they are not tied to my emotions like they are when a person is born with them. It takes only concentration to get the desired effect - envision what you wish to happen, and it should happen as such. If there are no further enquiries, I will list my powers now, and demonstrate each one in a quick-fire teaching session - time is not our friend at this moment in time. Are you ready?"
His black eyes swept around them all, quiet calm behind his abyss-like gaze.

Adia smiled gently to herself - she had been waiting quietly on the sidelines, unable to speak for all the squabbling of the younger students. She would definitely form as part of the attack team - although she was weakened, the power she had was unlike anything anyone could obtain, even with Danawi's help, and she knew it would be an asset and a necessary distraction.
There were sparks in her eyes as she inclined her head at the Dark Lord's last words.
"I am ready, my Lord - teach us."

Evie cracked her knuckles in an impatient mannor. She couldn't wait for the others to stop fighting so the real battle could begin.

Arvath was glaring at Ark, and before he knew what was happeneing he felt rough hands around his neck. Turning his head as much as he could, he saw the demon Isaac lift him up and slam him against the trunk of a tree. Feeling himself slowly choke, he heard Isaac's threats. The demon didn't trust him, even after Danawi intervened. Then suddenly Issac threw him to the ground, and the pain started to take over. Gasping for breath, he rubbed his neck. There would be many bruises later, but he knew better than to anger the demon again. It would do the Followers no good if there was fighting within the ranks.
He slowly stood up as his Lord started speaking. His power... They were all connected now, and he felt a shiver go down his spine. The power Danawi spoke of was indeed great, if restrictive. It was tied to his will, but that was to be expected.
" I am ready my Lord," replied Arvath, his voice raspy.

Loki raised his expressionless sea-coloured eyes to Danawi's face, though being sure to avoid his gaze by centimeters. While Danawi had filled them all with his power, Loki knew that the cloaked figure was far the stronger; meeting stares with him was not a wise - nor polite - move. He had been given his assignment in the upcoming battle, and he was happy with it, though it sounded like the Morgan girl - the one he had met by the lake - would now be joining him instead of Ark. That was fine by Loki, but he couldn't help wondering what was so urgent for Ark to request something so insistently, before the eyes of a very impatient - and very violent - fire demon.
Ignoring his thoughts, Loki bowed his head and spoke but three words.
"I am ready."

Isaac nodded as several of the Followers took notice of Isaac's rapidly dwindling patience, causing the demon to smirk silently.
"We are ready, lord." He said, in a tone that bode no room for argument from any of the Followers.

Danawi smiled. Finally, he had their attention. Not that it was surprising - the mere whiff of power held almost any creature's attention if the power behind it was strong enough.
Despite the fact that their collective ignorance was currently weakening his power source, he wasted no more time in explaining things and simply moved a few steps backward, away from the circle of eager robed figures. "Try and copy all I do as soon as I do it - this will proceed with some haste."
In a moment, he disappeared. A disembodied voice came from where he had been standing. "This is the power of invisibility, stolen from an Auror in South Korea - close your eyes and imagine your body disappearing from sight, starting with your feet and working up to your head. This is an easy power to control - use the same technique to reverse the effect."
He waited no more than a few seconds, and moved on to the next power, reappearing quickly and holding out his hand as a flaming ball of fire, crackling and hissing, appeared in it. "This is a gift I have already given to two of you - I defeated a Rage Demon to acquire this power. Held within this ball is pure, untainted hatred - if you throw these balls at another human being, their hearts will fill with hate, leaving no room for any other emotion. Make hate rise within yourself, to the point where it is fiery and almost uncontrollable - but try to control it. Direct it into your hand, and these will appear. Sadly, it is not something you can remove - once you have created one of these, you must throw it at somebody or it will infect you, and an overdose on these will overload your nervous system, resulting in a heart attack. Be careful."
Despite these words, the fireball seemed to melt into blackness that seeped back into Danawi's hand. However, it did not seem to affect him. In another movement, he threw his hand forward, and black-spotted vines shot from his fingertips, wrapping themselves tightly around the follower before him who was, incidentally, Ark.
"These are bind-vines I stole from a naturist witch in the Amazon. It was a power of good, but no longer..." The vines squeezed themselves around Ark, gradually cutting into his skin, the leaves on the vine razor-sharp and jagged. "I believe my darkness must have tainted it. This power is another easy one to use - it comes naturally whenever you throw your hand out towards someone you wish to halt."
Quickly retracting the vines before Ark could suffer any substantial damage, with a smile he demonstrated two powers in, as he had said, a quick-fire fashion. He took out an axe and threw it up in the air. Before it could fall down onto his head, he waved his hand toward it and it then shot immediately at Alexandria - and then stopped, mid-air, with another wave of his hand. "This is standard telekenesis and molecular freezing powers, both stolen from the same half-Faerie, half-witch I discovered on a little island off of Ireland. They, too, are simple enough to use. Just will it, and it will happen. Both are controlled through the hands, not simply with the mind."
Danawi stopped for a moment to see how his followers were reacting to their powers so far - they were the very basics of what he possessed, and he wanted to see how they handled the basics before he brought out the powers he gained endless scars for... the ones that might very well end the day with victory.

Evie immedietly began copying Danawi, testing out her new powers. First, she invisioned herself dissapearing, becoming invisible. It was hard at first, her shoes became fuzzy, then her legs. Eventually she gathered her concentration and became fully invisible. She looked down at her transparent body. "Woah....trippy..." She decided to practice with the ball of hatred later, maybe on top of the owlry. It would be fun for target practice... Evie then turned to a tree nearby and threw her hand toward it, imagining it was a member of the Cabal. Vines shot out of her fingertips, quickly wrapping themselves around the trunk of the tree. Lastly, Evie tried the telekenesis. She levtated a small rock, lifting her hands as she lifted the rock with her mind. It was a bit wobbly, she would have to work on that power too. Eyes shining, she turned to Danawi and bowed low and whispered "thankyou..."

Wincing at the several cuts from the vines, Ark began to focus his thoughts. Will youself to be invisble he repeated these words over and over, and slowly, his form began to dissappear. This was unexpected to Ark and when he saw through himself, he had to muffle a couple of words. Reappearing, he found, was harder. His form would be hazy, an outline of him, then disappear again. After several tries, he appeared again. I better not try the ball. he thought, Danawi's warning turning in his head.
As Danawi said, the vines were easy. Mimiking Alex, he faced a tree and imagined it to be none other than Arvath. With a smirk towards the real Arvath, he thrusted his hand towards the tree, vines wrapping around the tree. But his favorite power by far, was the telekenesis. After numerous failed tried; one pebble actually hit Alex's head, he managed to make a pebble lift, and slowly made it stop before Danawi. "These powers are amazing!" he cried, acting like a first year who had just learning a simple levitation spell.
