Snippet #2063056

The ice around Joshua's hand flaked away, as he grasped the Demigod's outstretched hand firmly. He then yanked the other closer to himself, until he was a hand's span away. Tilting his head forward a little, he whispered softly, "We both can kill each other, my dear Earth, and quite easily, I might add. The body's skin is made up of the compound called Carbon, but it is saturated with sweat and bodily oils. It is a liquid, and I can use that to harm you greatly, but there is more. Surely you remember any biology class's first lesson?" His voice became softer, until only the other could hear him, "The body is seventy percent water." A wide grin split his face, then, and a soft chuckle ensued from his lips, "It is not I that should be worried, but you who should worry about that idea." The staff moved in a small circle, encompassing the entire room of people. "Look around you, Earth, because unless you can turn the liquid inside of you to sand or lava, you are an easy target like the rest of them."

Giving the hand a tight squeeze, he released it, and leaped back. While giving his new rival a theatrical bow, the ice around his head began to take the form of a demonic dragon, encompassing him completely. When standing tall once more, the iced demon winked, then melted back to conform to the shape of his head. Chuckling softly, he thumped the staff three times on the floor, which caused the mist forms to flow into one another, but only after giving a sly wink to the white haired girl. A crystalline white rose was left on the table nearest her, as the mist form past by her, flowing towards the others. As the last came together, the form quickly condensed, becoming like ice, and molded itself into the shape of Joshua, which then flowed into a near-perfect likeness that was the Earthen Demigod, then flowed back to the former. The two were of near perfect likeness, the only difference was the fact that one was shinier than the other, and did not have a staff.

Each, then, bowed slightly to the group, as Joshua said, "We must take our leave of you, now. It has been a fruitful event, and will be seeing you all again shortly." With a small wink towards the white haired young lady, they both turned on their heels, and walked out of the library. Once they were out of eyesight, however, both began to laugh loudly, and raced towards the receptionist's office.
