Flame knew where she was going, she'd used it countless times, her secret little hideaway when she needed rest or to think and couldn't get out of school. She walked past the same patch of wal three times, aware it would look strange and pushed open the door, walking in to find a room, padded, with dummies to practice on so she and Zane would not target each other. The shelves were full of books about dark magic,.

Zane followed her into the room stopping in the center looking around at every thing. The book’s the dummy’s the room itself was quite interesting, but the one thing he was strangely interested in where the vast amounts of knowledge stored into those books on those dark selves.

Flame turned, smirking, to look at Zane. "I'm guessing you've never been here then." she stated, though he could class it as a question, because some people asked questions in strange ways like that. She walked across the room, removing her wand, perfected for dark magic, from her pocket, and started twisting it in her fingers.

"Tell me Zane, what do you know of dark magic?"

Zane looked over at her, “Didn’t know this place was here, but then again I don’t really explore the castle.” He said watching her walk across the room and take out her wand twirling it around. Zane perked up when she asked another question. “Umm, it’s illegal…and it’s any type of magic that is mainly used to cause harm.”

Flame smirked. "Yes, but what do you know of it? hvae you ever touched spells of darkness? Some cause you victim mental pain, others cause physical pain, some force one into your control, and one ends the life of your target. Working with dark magic opens many pathways to greatness, but the key is not to force people to your way, not to hurt or scare them, but to treat them with respect. For this world to be right, we need to find a balance between the light and the dark." her eyes shone, bright, as she became enthralled in her plans for power, though she spoke no more.

Zane clutched his fake hand into a fist remembering what dark magic had done to him as he listened to her speech. “Interesting, shall we start?” He asked looking down at her with the interest and expectation of a child during Christmas.

Flame smiled at Zane, thinking that this was going a lot better than expeted. "Ok, I thought first we'd just try a few of the simpler spells, jinxes, that sort of thing, so I can see your strengths and weaknesses, because we need to build on your strengths and eliminate weakness."

Zane nodded, "Right, whats first?" He asked ready to begain but nervos slightly.Zane nodded, "Right, what’s first?" He asked ready to begin but nervous slightly as he waited for her answer.

Flame stared at Zane, thinking, then named a range of different jinxes to try out on the figures, and hoped he coyuld hack it. They were minor, nothing major.

Zane listened and tried one with little effect, "Um, can you explain one?" He asked trying it several times with no effect.

Flame bit her lip, this was going to be harder than she had thought, not that she minded, Zane seemed eager and Flame, well, she needed someone at least a little corrupt to udnerstand her. She moved over to Zane and smiled. "I understand this is your first time with dark magic, so that was better than what most people manage. What I want you to do is imagine that the dummy is your worst enemy, and has done something that's really upset you, then try again." she needed him to mean it, then she'd move on to wand movement, which was slightly different for dark magic.

Zane nodded as he stared at the dummy pointing his 13 and a half inch wand at it. He imaged it had killed his kitten who his unhealthily close to as his eyes flicked with unknown emotions as a crimson blast came out of the wand and at the dummy setting it ablaze. He blinked as his normal onyx eye color returned and stared at it. “Holy…”
