The Lesser Flame of Dragon Gunfire

Esmerelda Cade strolled through the halls of Dragon Gunfire, looking for her older brother Aether. "Aether? Where are you. You promised we could spar today! This time I'm ready to go!" She smiled, even though she could only do one-handed casting she was a strong wizard.

William walked by her in the hallway, stopping when he noticed her looking for Aether. "He's in the sparring room. Ya know the place where he said he'd meet you." William smiled at her as he continued down his path, going to take on a new job Aether had given him.

Esme continued down the hall and opened the door to the sparring room. "Hey idiot, I'm ready to spar now." Esme wore a devious smile and a fire burned in her eyes, she wanted to finally beat her brother.

Aether was sitting on the ground meditating. He was surrounded by various plants, but as she broke his concentration, the plants withered away. Aether sighed and rose to his feet. "Alright, you get the first move."

"Fire-Make: Lotus!" Esme chanted. A fiery lotus appeared in her hand and she thrust it at her brother, then began to run at him.

Aether held out his hand, and caught the lotus. He crushed it into a ball and began eating it. "Don't tell me that's all you do?" He said while chewing.
