Exploded throne thing

Until Harmony had shown the way and opened up the possibilities of ‘intermediate’ elementals—that is, Elements with two parts. If I thought of it like Dust, then there were many different ways to combine the four basic elements by putting together two, three, or all four types; presumably my power would allow something similar, eventually. I’d experimented with the possibilities of using two Elements and it had opened up a range of possibilities, some more useful than others. Of the ones I’d gotten practice with, though…I think I liked this one the best.

I fired as I exhaled and now that I was looking for it, I felt my dad’s reaction, a sudden shift in the air—but this wasn’t fire or lightning anymore. I didn’t even have a name for it yet, though mostly because I hadn’t been able to decide on a good one for the effect yet. But when it hit my father’s throne, it made things move, exciting them on a very, very small level as their energy was raised higher and higher. I saw my father rise, perhaps sensing it on some level, but—

The throne exploded, flinging my father away. I was after him the moment I’d seen him move, flying through the air with Levant and Suryasta’s aid even as my father stopped his fall abruptly, staggering against empty space. I didn’t give a chance to recover, knowing I couldn’t afford to, but instead rammed into him with all the force I could muster, hurling us both towards the ground. I grabbed at him with my four arms, trying to get a firm hold, but he grabbed my face in a massive hand and turned at the last moment, driving my face into the broken pavement. I didn’t stop, though, tails rising to circle his throat as my soul-self rose from my body, trying to push him away even as it attacked.
