"Let's skip the baby steps and have some fun," Tobias said excitedly. He wanted to use his powers now that he had his own shadow under control. He could manipulate his own shadow to the fullest extent of his ability.

Lyra gave Tobias a funny look. "No," Lyra shook her head. "I don't think that's a good idea," she said, but there wasn't any knocking sense into him. Maybe it would be better to have his shadow out and use that. "Nothing too crazy," Lyra was scared, to be quite honest. His shadow was crazy and could unleash anytime- or that was her belief. "Work your magic."

Tobias gave Lyra a devious smile. He placed his hands in front of his body as if he were praying then quickly thrust them apart like he was ripping something in half. As Tobias did this, his shadow split into two pieces. With a few hand motions, he created two copies of himself made of shadow.
Next, he summoned a small piece of shadow to his body. Using this smaller chunk, he conjured a pair of huge wings that extended out from his own shoulder blades and wrapped around his body so that he was secure. Tobias tested the wings by sending a few gusts of wind outwards. He laughed gleefully. The wings began to flap steadily and slowly Tobias floated upwards. "Check it out, Lyra! I'm flying," he called to her once he was a few feet above her head.
"Ready to fight?" he asked with a confident smirk.

Lyra couldn't help but be amazed at the job Tobias did. Her face was in awe as she saw Tobias fly up, even if it was a few feet. He looked like a dark angel, something from a dream. Yes, there were kids who flew at the school, but it looked nothing like this.
The wind blew against Lyra's body and she took a deep breath, "if you are using your powers and flying around- I'm using mine-" Although someone shrieking in the middle of the night was not the best thing... maybe she could just fight, or maybe grow her hair out. "You're move," Lyra pointed at Tobias.

"Then get ready," Tobias taunted Lyra. He sent the two shadow copies to attack her. One lunged at her in an attempt to tackle her. The second shadow circled around her, trying to get behind her for a surprise attack. Meanwhile, Tobias floated above her and smiled as he controlled his shadows like pawns on a chess board.

"Shit," Lyra was breathless and the shadows seemed to blur as they moved, as if it was a long line of muck. She saw a shadow lunge at her and Lyra shot up in the air and jumped on the shadow's back as it started to fall forward in attempt to take her down. This caused the shadow to topple over the one behind her and Lyra jumped off the shadow's back, looking up at Tobias and shaking her head. "You are such a brat!" Lyra shook her head and stayed focused on the two shadows. When Tobias was in control of his own shadow- he was damn good.

Tobias guffawed at Lyra's comment. He flicked his hand and the two shadows that were tangled up on the ground fused into one shadow. Another hand motion sent a flock of shadow-ravens to attack Lyra. They circled above her with one or two diving down at a time to attack her.

"Toby!" Lyra cried and started to run from the ravens but that wouldn't stop one from diving. Lyra tried her best to cover her head but they would still peck at her. They were fake. They weren't real. Lyra reached over her head to grab one coming towards her and squeezed its neck, the figure disintegrating to a fog. She couldn't just run away. Lyra had to scream, try to knock some sense into the boy but anyone could hear. "Stop hiding from me," Lyra spoke louder to Tobias, "you're too scared to see me face-to-face, come down here!"

Tobias smiled at Lyra. He banished the shadow-ravens and floated down to the ground. As he touched down, the wings faded away. Tobias stood on the field. Nothing about him looked out of the ordinary. In fact, a stranger would probably mistake him as regular nobody.
"Bring it on Lyra," he leered at her. He raised a hand motioned for her to attack him.

Lyra was in a position to fight, then when Tobias challenged her, Lyra stood up straight and a finger went to her chin. "Uhh-" but she had no time to think clueless. She ran towards Tobias but skidded to a stop. She knew Tobias would never hit her- no but she couldn't help but think he had something up on his sleeve. "Am I really fighting you like this?" Lyra asked, just to make sure.

"I thought you wanted to fight me," Tobias said with a sly smile. He winked at Lyra and waited for her to try to hit him.

Lyra opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out. She used hand expressions and grasped the air and shook her head. "I- I can't it's you!" His shadows were different, in fact, her shadows were different. Even if Tobias was directly hit when she hit the shadows, it was easier knowing it wasn't him. Lyra pulled her arm back before pushing it forward to attempt to punch TK.

Tobias's grin widened as Lyra's fist flew towards him. Inches from his face, a wall of shadow appeared, stopping her fist. The wall disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, leaving Tobias laughing at Lyra's attempt to hit him. "You were close," he told her.

Lyra jumped around, frustrated with the spar. Maybe it was because she had no good shots or had any creative ideas for trying. Those damn shadows! She shook her fist as if the wall hurt her and while Tobias laughed she threw another punch at his face.

Tobias stumbled backwards, clutching at his face. His mind was reeling from the punch as blood poured from his nose. He let out a gurgling noise as he yelped in pain. Still holding his face, Tobias crumpled up on the ground.
As Tobias's focused faltered from the punch, his shadow regained control of itself. It melted into a puddle then rushed towards Tobias's prone body. Silently, it began to slide over his body until it reached his throat. The shadow began to constrict around his neck causing Tobias to thrash violently on the ground. Blood filled his mouth and the shadow was crushing his throat.
