Left to his own devices Zagato found himself blinded to what ever Clef might have planned for him. Perhaps his future was to find himself as a stone statue just as he had left the Master Mage. He closed his eyes and stood there waiting for what ever retribution Clef felt he deserved.

But his thoughts drifted back to her as they always did.

This mental image is killing me....

[guru_clef]

The problem was, his first instinct was to call Nita and the others for advice, but that involved explaining things, which he would not do with Zagato present. And he didn't know anyone he could ask to maintain the shield spell while he went to go get said advice. He wasn't going to risk anyone else's lives that way. He'd dump Zagato in Helix where the man could NOT regain his magic, but Clef would be without powers there as well, and he was under no illusions about his physical abilities. They were utterly absent.

There was, of course, the temptation to just kill Zagato, buying himself a week to figure out something better, but he didn't know enough about death in this world, and didn't want him coming to sooner than Clef expected or somewhere Clef could not find him. Plus, while Clef didn't pay too much attention to the network these days, he was aware there was an ongoing battle over public sentiment, and he did not want to create allies for Zagato. The man was far too capable of that as it was.

Clef sighed. First things first. He needed advice. Without Zagato hearing. He still had not quite mastered texting, though he understood it more than he had just last month.... OH!

There was the first hint of a grin since he saw the other man. "I suggest you not try overhard to escape this shield. If you do, what happens to you will not be my fault," he said, letting his own shield go to walk over and attach a tether to Zagato's. Then he borrowed a trick he learned from Connie and started floating the bubble Zagato was in. Holding the tether, he walked, pulling Zagato along like a balloon.

Flails uselessly!

This was ridiculous. Zagato felt like an errant child being carted towards the 'naughty corner' by his teacher... You might have one that first test of wills Master Mage Clef but that was not the final battle. Enjoy this while you can.

Finally opening his eyes the former High Priest raised his hand and clutched it into a fist. If breaking Clef's barrier was too much for him right now then maybe a more focused attack would work best. He remembered a familiar spell, one of the first he had learned actually and a favorite of his younger brother Lantis. Zagato thought of it now as he attempted to will it into being. His hand was the focus of his efforts but the attack came from above as he poured his heart into ending this. He HAD TO return to Cephiro. He would not fail again!

"Lightening Ball come forth!"

As a sudden crack of thunder broke through the peaceful day an electrified bolt of lighting cracked down towards the Clef and his annoying tether.

In my head he is freaking out at Link... I will have to share this >.>

Zagato's calling his attack outloud was all that saved Clef, he pulled up a shield just in time, but the impact between the attack and shield drove him to one knee, one hand clinging to his staff, the other hand upraised as a focus for his shield. He quickly built a stronger one around himself, mentally cursing himself for an idiot for underestimating Zagato for even a moment. He had Bent his staff within minutes of arrival, under Nash's tutelage.

He might just have to kill Zagato after all.

He yanked on the tether violently, pulling him down sharply until he was only a foot above Clef's shield. "You failed Zagato. And you will never be returning to Ceiphro. I will not let you harm my princess or my world, ever again!"

Clef might be the best bending teacher around, learning magic through adversity is the Rayearth way!

[even_if_it_crumbles]

The violent jostling he received as the result of his failed escape attempt was hardly noticed, however the look of almost pure hatred in his former mentor's eyes... well, that was an unfortunate outcome of actions he had no other chose but to take. Judge me all you like. Zagato's heart had not changed.

"I told you before Master Mage Clef Princess Emeruade is in no danger from me. And Cephiro..."

Once he had thought the land a beautiful place but is any world truly beautiful if it means the sacrifice of the Pillar's happiness?

"Will fall. Your magic will not be able to hold me forever."

Very true!

[guru_clef]

"Your actions lead me to believe otherwise," he snapped. "And my magic will hold. I've had more time to learn, here. To add to what I already knew." And here... he had more allies than you do, Zagato.
