When it came to many other things, they were fire and water, but that didn’t mind him too much.
What did mind him was his magic. Rather, it annoyed him that his Fire Magic had so much trouble adapting itself with the surroundings; for the longest time, he had tried to avoid burning down the forests around Orchidia as well as Worth Woodsea, and despite the continuing success of securing the vegetation and wildlife from his ferocious magic, he found it so absurdly difficult to channel magic in general. After having tried so much to limit the fires, he now found difficulty in releasing more of them. Damn it, it always ticked him like this…!
Instead of quitting out of ridiculous rage, Daiko found it as a sign… he was always inspired to observe his own capabilities and see what would happen if things went this and that way. To be fair, it might have been a main factor in a lot of childish shenanigans that he emitted in his younger days, and perhaps he just needed to spice things up with some good-old practice. You know, see where exactly his level of magic reached, and how he should aim for more.
It was cold again, today. He did rest inside his room at the Horizon Apartments, but he could sense the cold hitting the window from outside. He jumped out of his bed and put on a sleeved, dark-green coat as Coda came flying from the other side of the room. She firmly landed her talon-pokey legs on his shoulder and adjusted herself to perch nicely. The Fire Wizard stroked her beak and neck gently before sending her out of the window to watch her fly around the air.
That was because he followed up by jumping down from the window himself…
Don’t worry, a pillow of burning feathers popped out of his foothold to soften the landing. He planted his feet on the ground rather brilliantly and stretched his arms afterwards, partly to call for Coda to perch on him. Sadly… this was new. His coat had ripped itself up, revealing two large, deep-red wings with a heating air current surrounding them. His coat was done for as they had tore through and left it in two parts falling to the ground. He was never aware of his transformation before, until now that it was literally screaming ‘Look at me! I look weird, and I also look like a fresh chicken menu!’ There was a lack of beak, though, which genuinely surprised himself… but feathery wings, scaled hands and feet with growing feathers out of his arms, chest, face and thighs did the trick.
Shockingly, he decided to dash off into the woods after that. He didn’t want people to look at him too much as if he drew too much attention… or maybe he scared a few. It was so new and shocking for him to actually transform into a bird-like creature… did Coda give him a disease or something?
After a rough 15 minutes of thinking, whoever would pass by out of either curiosity or by fate would notice a faint, orange light brimming in the woods. The fires erupted from a safe opening, but they weren’t as powerful as those that Daiko had once performed…
