The creak of gears twisted over top one another, with each turn of the windmill's blades. The large fans rowed in front of the wind mage. The white fans of the windmill dipped below the building as another rose to take its place.
Squalls whirled up in tiny bursts around his body. They spun into his hands and through his fingers. His eyes scrunched, chasing after that which could not be held. "I can almost feel it," he took in a deep breath. The wind settled around his body. He opened his hands wide and small blades of air condensed within them. Tuffs of wind flew out from the main body and spiraled into nothingness. Fuel for the windmill if nothing else.
He clenched his fists. The knuckles cracking from time spent fixed in that position. He could see it so clearly in his mind. The blade of wind cutting through the air. So many times before, he sat in that same way. To visualize what would be the next step in his magical arsenal.
With eyes opening, the light slowly filled his blurred vision. The fan of the windmill came into clear sight. The song of the wind danced along his ears. He stood up and stretched wide.
With a steady breath, he held his hand out in front of him. The squalls of wind gathered together. A white magical circle appeared before him. The edge of the circle spanned at further than the roof of the windmill. A floating circle in the air. Another circle appeared in front of the windmill. It was just as large as the one he stood over.
The mage's hand opened and wind surged into the second magic circle. It spun and pranced into a uniform blade of wind. Kaz's hand tensed up. Each small twitch sent a shiver in the blade of wind and a creeping smile on Kaz's face. "There you are." He murmured and with a slow swipe he moved his hand to the side and with it the blade of wind followed. He swung his arm back and the blade shot out faster. The large wind-born weapon cut through the wind with only a faint rumble.
