The pride of Maleia

Maleia paced through the forest with her Halberd, looking for a good training area. I can't lose again! I need more training! I've grown weak! she thought. After an a few minutes, she found a big tree to practice on. She dropped her Halberd to the groung, and shot acid across the tree sides. Her training was set on control. Controlling her acid. The acid swerved just a little, hitting the bark of the tree. She had failed, for now. She kept trying this for minutes on end, not keeping track of the times she had missed.

Stephen stood at the edge of the clearing, watching Maleia in bland curiosity.

Maleia wouldn't give up, until she could control it. She hadn't really been training, but now she needed it. After fifteen minutes, she could almost make a perfect u-turn.

"So you can create acid and then control it?" He called from his spot. "Very interesting."

Maleia stopped at the sound of this person."Why are you here," she asked slowly. " Are you the phantom of the opera?" she joked. Ma;eia wasn't looking at him, but away from him.

"Are you Christine?" He asked back rhetorically, leaning against one of the trees. "I was just passing by."

Maleia started back up on the training" Well, your new here. I should give you a warning, don't try too fight me when i'm training." she said in a calm voice.

"Is that supposed to be a threat?" Stephen fired back in a cool voice.

Maleia stopped her practice. She felt like cutting his head of with the Halberd. She was in a bad mood."Maybe, maybe not."

"And do you seriously think I'm afraid of a little girl like you?" Stephen further inquired.

"I don't care what you think," she said calmly." You souldn't be afraid."

"Then why did you threaten me?" Stephen said dully and crossed his arms.

"Didn't I say warning? I remember saying it was a warning." she thought back to the time, that had happened only a few seconds ago "Yup, I said it was a warning."

Maleia shot him a cold look" Don't call me 'my dear'" she said. She was so close to just shooting little of her acid at him, as a new warning.

"I'll take that as a yes." Stephen muttered, starting to encircle her around the clearing.

"No," she sighed.
