A split second later, a thunderous boom rippled through the empty gymnasium.
In the next moment, the steam was forcefully cleared, revealing the two youths on either side of the large sparring platform. The two made for quite a sight.
Warren's eyes glowed with a strange, dark light; his tall, lanky form towered over Edmund. The air around him palpably vibrated with unbridled power, small sparks crackling throughout the space from time to time. His dark hair fluttered slightly in the unnatural breeze that swirled around him giving him an even more dangerous aura.
Edmund stood on the other side, several small towering pools of water flowing around him in serpentine fashion, with lifelike fluidity.
The pools of water slowly coalesced into humanoid figures standing, that closely resembled him standing next to him.
For a moment, the hall was only filled with the sound of the rustling of water and the faint crackling of electricity.
