Becoming an Arts Major

Axel and Iris stood under the shade of a cliff as Axel faced off against one of his most interesting opponents yet - a large boulder.

"Now careful." Iris warned. "I heard this guy hits as hard as a rock." She said in terrible fashion. Axel rolled his eyes as she found herself to be hilarious.

Axel held his palms together out in front of him as if he was about to pray. He began to trickle his energy into the palm of his hands - a dull glow could be seen.

"Ready?" Iris asked as she stood back.

"Of course." Axel replied. Once he felt that he had enough energy focused, he activated the spell. "Unholy art: Shattered Earth!" 

The ground beneath the boulder began to shake violently and several spikes skewered several feet through the boulder all at once, launching it into the air and breaking it into chunks that rained down.

Axel broke out in a grin, "Yes! I told you!" He said looking at Iris. "Nothing is beyond my skill!"
