The board blew up into thousands of tiny wooden splinters. Blaze flew through the air, dazed. He saw that Tom had gotten a hold on the railing of the window and was pushing the window with his star power. He was shouting something. His mind cleared enough to understand what Tom was shouting.
“Use your combat power! The second form!” Second form?
As if he had asked his dashboard himself, a notification showed up on Blaze’s vision.

Blaze breathed a deep breath and while falling, he turned to face the guards.
At once, his hand tugged at him with such force that without any disruption, he shot forwards. Blaze felt sick. A burning trail followed his arm, which spread out on the ground as soon Blaze hit it. The guards called out in shock and stepped back and the entire floor started burning away.
“Wasn’t the floor out of stone?” Blaze thought. How was it burning? Then, suddenly, he felt a tug on his shirt and he got pulled back up. Tom had broken the window out and was now pulling Blaze back up. Blaze grabbed the railing next to Tom and climbed through the window with Tom, pulling the pitchfork with him. He heard children crying out in fear and shock as the floor burned away. He felt sorry for them, but he couldn’t stay. He climbed out of the window and pulled himself on the roof, hanging the fork on his back with a belt. Blaze shivered. Tom was staring into their bag and was looking annoyed.
“What’s wrong?” Blaze asked. Tom’s shoulders slumped.
“We’ve got barely anything. We have to go back in.” Blaze grimaced.
“You sure?”
“I got a quest.”
“I shouldn’t have given you that ability.”

Blaze climbed back onto the roof, huffing, while coins landed in front of him. He grabbed them. Tom had ripped a piece of the roof using his power and they had found the kitchen. They had stuffed their bags with food, water and a map they had found on the way. They had met some guards but they had managed to escape using Blaze’s power to burn the floor under the guards. There had been one guard that could fly but Tom had just pushed him down with his telekinesis.
“Never, again.” Blaze puffed out.
“My dashboard is screaming at me, it says I got low mana.” Tom got up and stretched.
“We should get going then.”
“Leaving already? You have something that’s mine, Draconis.” An ominous voice called out from behind them. The two turned to stare at Duke Blackthorn, with three guards behind him.
“Uhhh, hi?” Blaze greeted, dread filling him.
“Kill them.” Duke Blackthorn ordered.
“Shoot!” Blaze sweared and got up, picking his pitchfork up. Tom instantly made his hands into fists and snow blew up everywhere, making it impossible to see.
“Let’s go!” Tom shouted. Blaze turned to run but suddenly he froze in place. His body went stiff and Blaze was stuck in place. A full body bind power. Blaze started furiously thinking about what to do. He did have an ability he hasn’t tested yet. It was worth a try. He activated Boiling Blood.

At once, Blaze felt his heart thumping quicker and his blood started boiling and got hot. Suddenly, he felt free of the bind, yet didn’t fall to the ground. Instead, he turned to see Duke Blackthorn and his guards, seeing them through the snow.
“Never mind running. Get Blackthorn, I’ll take care of the others.”
Blaze ordered, for the first time. It felt nice. Did that mean that he was a commanding hypocrite? He pushed that question aside. Tom stared at him, then looked at his skin, which was covered in veins of boiling blood. When Blaze turned to look at Tom, his eyes were slits, like the ones of a cat. Tom blinked, then grinned and snapped his fingers. The snow blew away to reveal the duke and his guards. Blaze took a deep breath, then kicking off the ground, he practically flew towards the guards, passing Blackthorn, who didn’t react quick enough. One of them shouted in surprise, while the others raised their spears. Blaze slammed into the first guard, punching him on the chest. The guard's armor protected him, but a huge crack spread on the armor. The guard shouted in shock as he flew back. Blaze halted by stemming his feet in the thick snow and turned, facing the other guards. His fist started burning with black, scarlet flames.

Blaze dashed towards the second guard, reaching him in seconds. The guard swung his spear but Blaze ducked and rammed his fist in an uppercut on the guard's unprotected chin. There was a cracking sound and the guard got thrown into the air, burning with scarlet flames. Blaze used Sanguine Impact and flew to the final guard. Blaze slammed his fist into the guard's armor and flinched. The fire burned through the final guard's armor and cut the guard right through the stomach. The guard made a gurgling sound and fell to the ground, dead in seconds. Meanwhile, Tom was having the time of his life. He had waited for the moment to get back on Blackthorn after he had ripped his noble family apart. He tore pieces of the roof off and flung it at Blackthorn. Victor dodged and summoned his mana spear.

****
Victor Blackthorn was seething. This brat was ripping parts of his roof off and was daring to face him, the great Duke Blackthorn! He couldn’t let this stand. He roared and threw mana spear after mana spear. If Duke Blackthorn hadn’t been seething, he would have used his other abilities. The brat just grinned and clamped his hand into a fist. He made a sweeping motion and Victor suddenly felt a tug on his shoe. He fell and yanked into one of the holes the brat had created. Duke Blackthorn yelled in rage as he fell into his mansion, going unconscious as he hit the floor. He swore just before he hit the floor, he would get the two brats, and when he did, he was going to kill them, slowly.
